Best Of
Alien Chest Burster
Hello,
I am really new to sculpting with clay. However, I recently purchased some medium Monster Clay to give it a try. Since I was a kid, I have been a huge fan of both Aliens and Predator franchises. With that being said, I am wanting to attempt to sculpt a version of the Alien chest burster from the 1979 film. Since I am a visual learner, I decided to 3D printout a full size Alien chest burster so I have something to reference as I am created this sculpt. I have watched numerous video's on sculpting with clay and know I need to start with a armature made of wire etc. However, with this particular project I really am not sure where to start. Reason is, I want to sculpt the alien with it's tail so I can make a mold to cast the finished piece. Attached is a picture of what I am using for my reference. For my sculpt I am looking at making the tail straight so I can cast a piece in silicone. Ultimately the goal is to make a chest burster like the one scene in AVP where the Scar Predator catches the chest burster mid air and snaps it neck. So what I am in need of help to do is advice on how to start this project via the wire armature.
Thank you in advance for any advice, Daren

Thanks mate. I appreciate the kind wordsErin VanGurp said:This little guy needs first prize, or at least an honorable mention. Love it when people blend crustaceans and mammals together like this. The making of video was also a joy to watch

Amazing!! There are so many body parts intertwined in places they were not supposed to be XD
I liked the background story too.

Hand Monster - "Feel No Light" (3D Sculpt using Zbrush, Substance Painter, and Maya)
He was once a man—the slayer of the last dragon. But when he claimed the golden ring from its corpse, he was cursed to live as a wretched monstrosity for all eternity, bound to the very symbol of his greed.
The dragon’s remains warped into a throne, rotting over centuries, becoming both his prison and his home. His human eyes now sit in the dragon's skull; he can see only through them, but cannot take them when he leaves. He wanders blindly—feeding on whatever he can scavenge.
I created this completely original piece specifically for this competition using ZBrush, Substance Painter, and Maya, with the final render completed in Arnold.




Here are a couple of screenshots from Zbrush:


Here are three screenshots from Substance Painter:
