thanks spec and sgcaper! it's funny such a whim turns out to be so liked! the little boxes are getting scarce in my stash, but I have a good bit of litebrite pegs. when I either find or buy some more 22 short i'll make some more up. I have a bunch of 22lr so worst case I could cut some down.
I really appreciate the feedback josh.kestner!
just a drybrush on this awesome ap scorpion. a giant alien specimen.
this turned out one of my favorite critters. I never heard of a neomorph alien ,but when I saw the figures I instantly wanted them. this is the toddler.
I love the details of the crab claws trick my mind into seeing faces! I see small eyes and the big mold mark as a primitive ear drum.
and that duckish smile, so cute....
I dubbed these snailiens. they are giant venomous spined invertebrates who are toxic if ingested to most lifeforms. that alone makes them worthy of study in my lab, but they also have a unique defense against predators before only seen on the now lost planet earth. much like the eye spots on insect and aquaria catalogued from earth they have evolved with a pattern to mimic the xenomorph. in the dark void of space it is effective extreme caution should be taken with these scavengers.
they seem to like human skin more than the "meat" and can strip a corpse in very little time.
these are both made of exactly the same parts so I tried to mold different poses and paint them in a similar yet distinct way. trying to paint skulls that are not skulls was a challenge. I covered the skull areas with thick uv glue to try and add more depth.
this is a hybrid of a slither parasite and a space crab. an exoskeleton and bone crushing digits combined with the blind and ravenous slither species these should never be allowed to exist outside the lab.
vampire virus specimens. the virus attacks the circulatory and nervous systems of a wide range of hosts. it only exists in darkness or artificial light. as exposure to uv rays instantly kills the virus, but if infected for more than a few hrs also kills the host. these are "tube" creatures except for the starfish looking devils tongue which is from a skylander figure. containers are from the dollar tree craft section.
the female carrier near bursting with millions of infected spores.
ovum orbis satanis "the egg balls of satan"
the "male" carrier of the vampire virus dubbed the devils tongue. can impregnate any living organism with the virus just by rubbing against exposed flesh (licking).
stamina satanis
earth 2 fetal aquaria infected w/ vampv
unknown deep space larva ( technicians dubbed martian pickle) infected w/ vampv
I had a lot of pics of this guy that were blurry. hopefully it was just me being tired last night. I will try a different set and see if I can get better detailed shots. for now here are the best. ripley the xeno dog.
he loves to play catch!
I emptied over 350 pics from my trash this round! I still have many pics to take/retake coming of the dog alien, winged alien, and all those skulls.
