Whatever it is, I'll bet it has a tough time eating.
It's a Silent from Doctor Who. An evil alien with the ability to make you forget you ever saw it the moment you stop making eye contact. And it does have a mouth, but trust me, you don't want to see it open.
I find them to be one of the most (if not THE most) unsettling alien species on science fiction. Not only for their appearance, but also their motives, movements, sounds, etc. I mean, just look at them sleep!

Thanks for the explanation, Rekkert. I've never seen a single episode of Doctor Who, so I had no idea what it was. I just know mikala makes cool models.
I like the detail level, but I also don't know what the source of inspiration looks like, beyond the few images on that page that Rekkert linked to. I just like freaky evil looking alien things. :devil:
There are, in my opinion, some truly increadable artists on this forum. People who bring to life starships and ocean ships alike. But i have to so, being a massive Whovian i find it amazing that you are able to bring to life so completely this great bad guy. And to do it is a 3D computer program is... well it is great and very good...
Through the magic of television...
Sorry had a bout of game show host for a sec.
The Silent now has the beginnings of hands. Which are it's next biggest threat to humans.
I really take the ball and run with it with these sorts of things, I just pictured the Silent running to pick up the phone and realized if it could talk normally it would sound like Kevin MacDonald when he played Jeri Sizzler. Which is making me giggle like nobody's business.

That's looking very good. :thumb:
Thanks.
Seriously, that looks AMAZING. Well done.

than you provided.
doctor who used to be cool a few years ago, but then they changed the actor and writers and it all went downhill.
Anyway, nice job, Mikala!
It's eyes were too close together so they got fixed.
Went heavy with the skin detail but will be able to dial that up or down in Lightwave.
The fact that they wear suits makes them even cooler.
I am often amazed by what the hard surface people do here as well.
Forgot to add a pic of updated wrinkle and colour.

Thanks for the mental image. That's something that, no matter how hard they try, I'll never be able to forget.
