If the Stan Winston School team ever had any doubt about the existence of alien life in the universe, it has forever disappeared as a result of our Alien Contest. Your entries were so stellar that we're convinced a few of them had to be inspired by your own close encounters of the third kind. In the end, we had to select a single extraterrestrial to rule the stars (at least until our next alien contest) and the Grand Prize goes to....

Florian Barthe and his clay maquette "Myhlo, alien from Venus!"

Barthe created this multi-limbed ET with sculpting clay, air-hardened and then painted. We think there's something super cool and unsettling about how he combined the familiar (human-like hands) with something completely alien (that face!!). Thanks again to all of you who submitted so many out-of-this-world creations!

This guy was an experiment for myself in blending arthropod and vertebrate forms and generally just playing around with anatomy. The part that I found to be the most fun was flipping the hips backward and trying to make that work. Sculpted in Monster Clay it is approximately 16 inches long.

This is Sir Wallace. He's a hyper-intelligent amphibious marsupial from the planet Zartron. He's made out of Super Sculpey and has marbles for eyes.

ALIEN MUTANT FOETUS

Marc Hermitte — Tue, 29 Mar 2016 07:42:47 +0000

Hello!
I love the biomechanical concept of the original alien movie by HR Giger. I don't think lots of concepts have been that gruesome and disturbing. I also love the mutations stories so I tried to mix both... Here we go. Next step: I'm going to sculpt the concept, mold It and make some tests pouring resin and silicone... I'd like to have the inside slightly visible (skeleton + organs).

Alien two - The Scout

Terry Stone — Fri, 08 Apr 2016 05:01:57 +0000

This Alien evolved on a planet much like ours , but lives in the water most of the time. The spines on the back , head and tail protect it from a parasite that attaches to the upper back or head of the target and takes direct control of the host. This alien is a young scout. He has light armour and is very fast moving. He will shed his outer skin many times in his life span. Each time, his skin will grow thicker and his body
will regenerate better armour protection. A fully grown warrior will be slower moving but have almost impenetrable armour. Limbs lost in battle will regenerate faster with each outer shell shedding.

This is my take on an alien's reaction to our first meeting.

The Big Sassy Head

Nicolas Fischer — Fri, 08 Apr 2016 04:45:46 +0000

I've always been a fan of 3rd Rock from the Sun, so for my 3rd entry this is my take on "The Big Giant Head". I call it "The Big Sassy Head"!

"The Mayor"

Nicolas Fischer — Fri, 08 Apr 2016 04:41:13 +0000

This is "The Mayor" like my first entry he comes from a far away universe where the dominant species are animal humanoid hybrids. In this universe much like ancient Egypt cat like creatures are revered as royalty. I designed, sculpted, cast, painted, and applied this makeup.

Split Pallet crustacean Alian Concept

Andrew Gregson — Fri, 08 Apr 2016 01:34:32 +0000

My Alien concept design was influenced by a prawn I liked the idea that it would have theas little arms for shovelling food in its mouth, a throw back to its early evolution. Though now it would also have arms and legs and be bipedal. I also liked the idea of having a split pallet for a mouth as you don’t see many creatures with split pallets, my alien I feel would use his to filter air and food.

Alien Sack Baby

Sarah Bedrick — Thu, 07 Apr 2016 03:47:53 +0000

This was my first time working with foam, or creating a puppet of any kind. This alien puppet was made with the instruction of the BJ Guyer Foam Puppet tutorials, after carving the basic shapes into a block of mattress foam, I pre-painted it with pax-paint, and covered it bit by bit in pigmented silicone. I sculpted teeth and spikes with super sculpey, and painted the cured silicone with alcohol paints.

This puppet was created in one week, for the NYU thesis short "Mushrooms" Written and Directed by Julio Ramirez

Please follow this link to see a video of my alien in action!

I've also included my original sketch for the design of the puppet.

Funny Little Man.

Jay Overstreet — Thu, 07 Apr 2016 23:24:06 +0000

"Funny Little Man" is a story about an immigrant from a far-off world in another star system who has come to this country in hopes of pursuing The American Dream. He's found an entry-level position in an office at a government job, and is doing his very best to fit into his new environment. In his attempt to assimilate into this "alien society," he's purchased a suit and tie from Goodwill to wear at work, rented a studio apartment, and even carries a briefcase - although he still doesn't know what he's supposed to carry inside of it yet. His primary office duties include: sharpening pencils, making fresh coffee, and eliminating computer viruses that crop-up in the office network simply by deleting them with the power of his mind. Mostly he just stares at the fluorescent bulbs in the ceiling and identifies patterns in the flickering light that seem to follow a sequence of prime numbers. This confuses him because he's convinced that another race of extra-dimensional entities is attempting to communicate with his co-workers, yet no one seems to notice or care in the least. Of all of is office duties however, he enjoys sharpening pencils the most. Since no one in the office has any idea how to pronounce his name, they just refer to him as "that funny little man." When he overhears this coming from his co-workers, he misunderstands the true meaning and simply believes that they feel he is "fun to be around,"...and this makes him very, very happy.

Blobra the blobfish

Nicolas Fischer — Thu, 07 Apr 2016 23:16:49 +0000

I designed, sculpted, molded, cast, painted, and applied this makeup to myself. The concept is based on a deep sea blobfish. Blobra is a reigning beauty queen from the other end of the universe much like planet of the apes. This world is dominated by animal humanoid hybrids.
She is a proud "Trophy (wife) Fish"
I hope you guys love her!!!

simple line drawing.
Evolved from a Aves, they have several lobes in their brain that breath the open atmosphere, the lobes are harnessed by a mesh dura mater.
they don't have eyelids, their eyes actually retract into a soft, moist padding, and they no longer have shines.
they hover around around on these orbs to avoid touching the ground.

FAR FROM HOME

samimustonen — Thu, 07 Apr 2016 22:01:29 +0000

Created in Zbrush, 3ds max, rendered mainly with Mental Ray. Composited in Fusion and Photoshop.

I started with a model of normal female head and reshaped it in Zbrush to give it strange, original look but at the same time I tried to keep some similarity to human skull. I also wanted to leave the scene as simple as possible to sense the feeling of the creature's loneliness and nakedness.

LARVAE COAT

Leyre Valiente — Thu, 07 Apr 2016 21:57:57 +0000

Hand sculpted wool fabric to create some kind of exoskeleton creature coat. The colour is a reference to formaldehyde, to give the sensation of a strange larvae contained in a formol bottle.
