took alot of comments for this.. made the aliens 'wetter', looks better imo, more like gigers slimey feel
reverted the secondary focus to the marines.. also added more marines (those 3 in the back with 'lanterns' and structures to help define depth and area.. ) ..also chose red for lanterns cause it looked like roses from distance gives a nice feel to a rather drab pic.
..er.. tha lanterns are actually their glowing visors
hoep u like it better now..!
1-2 hours PS 6.0
A base sketch to help a friend out (he loves Giger's alien) also used as a sketch practice for an upcoming contribution concept art (ill post on DA ^^) that consist of a pack of were-people [a sci-fi clive barker meets mad max type world.. its an MMORPG btw ]
also played with more colours to see how 'fun' it could be i had to tone it down in the end, so meh!
