COMPLETED ALIENS: CORPORAL D. HICKS V XENOMORPH. PICTURES: PAGE 1 AND PAGE 2. NEW UPDATE PAGE 2.

[eddiesolo]

Here is the finished dio of Corporal Hicks blowing away a deadly Xenomorph.

There is a under-construction that shows various stages so won't go into that here.

The last couple of pictures are done to represent either a CCTV camera shot or a still from a game/film. Slight update on page two: Added some metal melting gobs of epoxy, painted etc and an attempt to try and get some better action, low light shots.

Hope you enjoy my little tribute to Aliens.

Comments/crit always welcome.

Si

I can think of only one thing. Can you simulate some kind of flash from the muzzle as he fires? It would be too gauche to simulate the bullets themselves, but I think some kind of muzzle flare would add a bit more "life" (that's my idea).

I'm not an Alien fan - too much like the old 1950's B-movie horror films - but that's a cracking build Si!

excellent sense hicks was favorite in Alien,

great job SI, do really like the rust on the walls with the 2 or 3 shading , dose work well and i would keep it in night mood just the dim light

adds to the horror off it

That could be some task Steve, have got some thin fibre-optic, but would have to drill through the gun and faff around, the figures are like £40ish for the set so if I mess it my lad would not be a happy bunny lol. Cool idea though.

I was thinking the "low budget" effect, like (un)painted cotton fluff...

 

[flyjoe180]

[papa 695]
