I made an original facehugger sculpture that could hang off my computer monitor at work...the back of my monitor faces down our main hallway so it's perfect!
I created molds of all the pieces and cast copies in resin. This is the 3rd resin cast and 3rd paint job, let me know what you think.
The thinner/longer the legs the creepier it looks. I made another facehugger a year or so ago and it's legs are a little stubbier and it doesn't look quite as eerie as this guy does. If you're not going for 100% accuracy have fun with the "egg deployment" part, LOL. I've done a couple different designs. They all tend to look like vaginas, which I'm sure was Giger's intent ;p
Thanks! I ended up going a little larger and made a facehugger that's a perfect fit on a teddy bear lol. And yes, the mouth on the facehugger is certainly suggestive of lady parts XD I'm fairly new to using armatures and had some clay shrinkage around certain parts but was able to patch things up nicely. Was definitely a good learning experience. If you'd like to see how it turned out, pics here: http://twitter.com/lovely_lady_bee/status/892449917796405250
This is an amazingly creepy idea! I am building a full sized, poseable one (hopefully!!) atm. Just started with the wire frame hope it turns out as good as yours!
