Older style alien
My aim with this project is to try to create one of the "Grey" styles of alien but instead of making a smooth skinned, faultless alien i am aiming to make a withered and old one (but not over the top) who is getting on with life. At the moment i have just been blocking out the basic structure from my base mesh. I am starting with a youngish version and then i am going to age it.
My idea for the final is to have him looking out a window or into the mirror and having the reflection be a younger version of him (looking back over the years)
Any-who, Criticize all you want, its better to get that over with while i am still fleshing it out.

so you used a base mesh instead of a zsphere base?

Joopson: Yup, the base is from another model that i made, its really simple but i had more control over it in MAYA than i do in Z Brush.
Here is another update. Everything has been simplified a bit more, i went a bit overboard last time. I am still chugging away bulking out the basic structure of his face.

Thanks for the kind words.
Good spot on the belly Arran, i'll fix that up next time i work on this.
I was thinking about doing a full body on this but i decided not to. I wanted to work on getting a detailed face done without having to worry about doing a full character. Right now i am just working on my skills by doing a few Busts before i take on a full body model.
More updates soon
