Rabbits Alien Xenomorph Build

Hello there RPF, my name is Frankie aka Rabbit. Long time lurker of the RPF and after countless hours of researching and watching other Alien builds come to life here and on the Hunters Lair, I've decided to take the plunge and start my own Alien. This is my first ever attempt at sculpting anything from scratch and any feedback or tips would greatly be appreciated! Working in water based clay from the art store, cause I really can't afford much else, being 20 and making only minimum wage will do that to ya. So enough talking on to the pictures.

I decided to start with a pepakura base, the model came from Movieman over on the Lair.

Still kinda blocking out the shapes and trying to get everything symmetrical, going to pick up some fancy new tools on friday after i get a paycheck. Again any feedback at all will definitely mean a lot to me. Cheers!

Looks like a nice start. Blocking out always seems to be the most tedious part. Which Xeno is this based upon? I do not recall seeing those types of head ridges before.

i think the look is from "Alien vs Predator":

Re: Rabbits Alien Build

That is looking good.

Wasn't it James Cameron for his film ALIENS who first removed most of the translucent dome cover because he thought the Alien head would look more interesting exposed?
 
Re: Rabbits Alien Build

Well the pep model is in fact based off the game model. But I've decided that I'm going to go a more customized look to it, try and bring about some new blood to the xeno, some variance, much like you see with the predator costumes.
 
Re: Rabbits Alien Build

Could not agree with you more. Following this also on The Lair. I think there should be some costumization. It shows an individuals interpratation of something. Look at all the Iron Mans being done right now. There is very little difference or artistic impression. Mostly copies.

heres a screen of the model the pep is based off of.



NOW for something COMPLETELY different. I KNOW some of the Alien Purists are not going to like this at all. Gonna say i went "Full AvP".

Going a step further with the "Create-an-Alien" idea.

So all spikes and teeth made in sculpey and put in. Moving on to the left side and back portion of the head, as well as the jaw. Currently collecting all kinds of odds and ends, tubes, pumps, wires, etc for detailing.



Sorry for the double post.

So i'm ready to call the blocking process done and start texturing and detailing. The final 2 ridges are going to be fine tuned later, removed the spikes, felt they were a little too "kenner-ish". Started attaching the first siphon pump, and made a new lazy susan.


Sorry for the double post.

Still gotta mess around with the bottom teeth placement. And the bottom of the jaw and the back side of it. Not too much longer. Decided to go with a silicone mold, resin cast, then ultracal mold from a resin cast, this way i can run resin and latex pieces.
 
small update:
Redesign.

tried blending more elements from the first two film designs, pretty happy where this design is going. working on a new more accurately scaled armature and hopefully starting the sculpt early next month.
