H.R. Giger's Alien has always been one of my favourite creature designs due to it's unique art style. It has been a great journey of learning and challenges while making this alien as a personal project.

Character modeled and rigged with XSI, rendered with FG using Mental Ray. Textures and bump maps made with Photoshop CS3. No SSS or displacements used. Final layout and compositing done in Digital Fusion.
