I've been commissioned by a group called The New Worlds Project to create new images of their established alien species.

I've been working on them for a couple of months now. They have a short video to promote the relaunching of their site up on Youtube that features two artistic renders of two of the species I've done for them. One is a cat species called Avrans and the other is a pale humanoid species called Navaks (They'll kill me if I got the names wrong).

The first alien image in the video is of the Avrans, the cat species. This image was created in Carrara 8 Pro making use of Carrara's great shaders as well as volumetric fog and fire and dynamic hair (not so obvious). I'm pretty proud of the finished product.

The second species shown in the vid is also done by me, but this time in Poser Pro 2012. I've been going back and forth depending on what the species requires as well as what sort of render I want to do of the finished product.

I've been having a good time with this as well as learning some things as I go along.

The video is here
