More Matey stuffs


Here I added a close up to the first design of mateys face and more of an idea to his scarf to make it look more pirate like.
There was also these two other designs of the macaw like feature but I felt it didnt quite suit him which then led to the other design with the goggles that I was happy enough with. But im still thinking to go ahead with some other designs of him in the future.

Alien designs, redesign 1



These where the redesigns of the previous aliens. I took the head down a little and longated it a bit so it wasnt huge upwards but backwards into a more suitable alien like look. The males looked alot better this way and I added in a female to this races design which also worked well. They just need more variations I think which will most likely be worked on more when ive made more alien designs.

MOAR ALIENS!



Some further designs on aliens. These where what i came up with next which i was slightly happy about since i had some male designs xD wasnt completely happy about the head on these guys though.

Introduction to matey

Matey was a some what hybrid alien space parrot that was companion to Captain, often the navigator.
This was my first design to him which needs slightly altering since i made him a bit chicken like instead of parrot like.

often has a distinguished look, even though hes a very tattered old bird , his neck is slightly bald with scruffs of feathers sticking out where his neck runs to his chest.

Has 6 wings and strainge feathery tentacles to give that sense of an alien look to him, aswell as the beak.

Wears a small pirate like bandana around his neck
and a little rocket peg leg since his wings barely work. (his leg got misfortuatly ate by space monkey s xD nah I havent really thought about how that happened yet >< )

More designs will definatly be added for this guy though.

Captain (Character design)



This was one design for a main character of my project before the team up with the group. Im not sure if he will be in it anymore since the theam isnt so space pirate as origonally planned.
He was a model of old races I did in previous projects that have developed and found their way into space. I may do new designs for em to fit in with the new one though we may not use them.

Anyhow his story was that he became captain of ship after his home planet was destroyed, he took on refugees as his crew and travled the galaxy in search of supplies and surviving members of his clan.

Quick Headgear ideas






















These where the quick ideas of some headgear the alien (and possibly other characters may wear) this was a to early process to come up with more since now this area will be more worked on and improved on later on in the project after other priorities.
The ideas where for a head scarf, protects the face from harmfull enviromental climate exposure.
The goggles annalyse the planets inhabitat, listing edible food/drink sources, environmental information such as heat source, populations, creatures. it will also scan various life forms for information on its nature etc.
the headset does the basic same thing as the goggles

Colour Combinations






Here where some small sketches done of the alien in Green and purple just to try out different shades of what I could go with. To be honest most of these seemed a bit vibrant at first, still it was only a test to see ho it would look on this specific alien model.

I then tested out the possible coulour combination of scaled uposn 3 different skin tones to see which variation of scales worked with each other and what clashed. I can say a few of them went a little better than others .
