The Simpsons Alien

When I was younger one of my biggest Inspirations was The Simpsons.
I wanted to learn zbrush and I imagine trying to create a non-humanoid creature would be the easiest way to learn it. Before trying to sculpt someone's head when you haven’t got the basics down first.

It was a useful experience teaching me a workflow that involves Zbrush when I'm used to modelling in Maya. Going from sculpting in Zbrush to Maya, to retopology then UV it before bringing it to substance painter to texture it and bring it back to Maya for lighting

The main reference for this 3d model.
The Simpsons, Kang and Kodos. It doesn’t matter which one it’s one of the aliens.

With the lack of hands, I imagined this alien species would need to be adapted to grab things. So the suckers use octopus suckers as reference.

I used lizard skin texture to try and give it a cold-blooded feel.

The reference material has green skin so I thought blue blood would be good. I show that by using subsurface scattering.

Glowing eye so I don't lose it's detail.
