Alien of the Day: Acroporean Larval Cluster – click for full size image

Playing with the idea of multiple organisms interconnected in one body.  This vast creature survives in the nebulae and may even have some role in the creation of young stars in the stellar nursery. 

The spiral interconnections between individuals are more zones of probability than the presence of actual matter.

Playing with see-through aliens, like those fish where you can see their insides…

I think having a jelly-like ‘skin’ covering could be interesting to explore further, especially if it was some kind of dilatant fluid – like custard – that gets harder under impact.  Would maybe make a useful shield…

This one was just a play around to see how fast I could create an alien in Photoshop – something akin to Stefan G. Bucher’s DAILY MONSTER but without videoing the process (maybe one day…). Anyway this alien took me 4 mins 30 secs. I was aiming for a four minute alien but tacked on an extra 30 seconds as it looked well worse than it does now! Think I’ll need to work on speeding up my workflow!
