Alien - Xenomorph

A client project, a comic bookstore in Horsham, where I, alongside a small team of people, all worked to create a life-size ceiling installation of a Xenomorph from the original 1979 Alien. During the project, I was needed to sculpt, both additively and reductively, alongside fibreglassing and finishing effects that included learning to airbrush. I fabricated this hand from carving Celotex, overlaying it with fibreglass and finishing it using epoxy putty. Other areas I was able to contribute to were in the paint finishes, I applied a subtle mottling effect with an airbrush to certain areas.
