Alien Throne stands in the Valley of Dreams, a remote field of hoodoos on Navajo Nation land in the northwestern New Mexico badlands. It’s filled with petrified wood — even petrified trunks and branches — and is rich with fossils. It’s just outside the Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness, where paleontologists discovered not the Triceratops, but the Pentaceratops. Alien Throne is a hoodoo. They’re formed by erosive forces like wind, rain, and flowing water beating away at stacked layers of soft and hard rock. The softer layers wear down relatively quickly, but the harder layers resist for longer — eventually, we’re left with impossible shapes. Hoodoos tend to have hard “cap rocks” on top, which protect the soft layers, and alien features, below.
The evening sun sets on this bizarre alien landscape of delicate mineral formations as the vivid pink sky is reflected in the calm lake waters in the background.

"Gentleman, you are approaching the black out range on the Monolith's portals, may all luck in the universe be with you. Once you dive through those gateways, its you and your pressure suit, and you may never see another human again. Godspeed."
My build for Day 5 of vignweek, which I'm not super happy with considering the space theme was right up my alley. The original plan involved a big piece of a minifig scale dropship allowing a trooper to dive into the portals, but I couldn't execute a version I was happy with in the time frame.

Yes this is the 18 inch tall vintage 1979 one. Made by Kenner.....
I am in repair mode since I fixed Chewbacca :)
I have had this Alien for awhile. His left arm was hanging loose.
I am working with a bungee cord to put the arms back. together.
He has four screws in his back. So he can be taken apart.
I would not have done this if he wasn't screwed together !
He is still pretty tight even with out his screws. But is workable.
I had to cut his right arm band.
Feels blaspemous ! Each arm is independently connected via an O ring to a central pillar. But since I am going to the effort to fix the one side. Is only logical to do both. But the right arm O ring is still forty yrs old ! So I would rather not take it apart again. When or if it breaks.
I have not got around to getting the repro dome and fifth back spike.
But fixing his arms and a good cleaning needs to be done anyway :)
Getting this figure is a grail achieved for sure.
The same model in a standing position. Hope you all like it! Because it was BLOODY HARD TO MAKE. Constructive feedback is appreciated :)
We are all alien by design,
different,
unusual,
not like anything
on this earth
and yet we are not benign .
In the grand scheme of things,
we hold a key but is it to our
own destiny?
We know not what secrets lie within,
yet every piece of nature surrounds
us with a grin.
They know our secret but will not tell
and we are to arrogant to ask,
of the secrets they know well.
Where from whence we come,
is alien to some but by design we find,
we are known by some.
This one is a photograph of plants that have been frozen by the water dripping of the house. I selected an area I was interested in and mirrored it with microsoft paint and with this one I added two fisheye filters off my phone but other wise it is a basic photograph. Often I see something but in order to get it across to others I embellish the eyes a bit to make it more showy.

Your comments and faves are much appreciated.
Hope you have a great weekend.
I was watching Star Citizen stream of CitizenCon at Twitch late into the night on Saturday (it was pretty much impossible for me to get into Manchester now, but maybe next time), microtech heist and first jump into another system in Carrack. I am therefore in a bit of alien-planet mood now. How would your home look like if it would be based on another planet, what do you think?
These very tiny mushrooms looks like they belong on some alien terrain in another galaxy.
Well, maybe that's stretching it, but going through my mushroom field guide I could not find this/these tiny mushrooms anywhere. I've narrowed it down to a coral mushroom but the size and color didn't quite match anything.
And the things with the red growths stumped me. Closest I've come to is British Soldier Lichen, Cladonia cristatella. And who knows - it might all be lichen? I'm sure someone out there knows what these are, and I'll continue my research until someone can help.
Oh. I'm almost embarrassed to say this is a macro of .... the top of my mail box. Or that wooden cover on my mail box.
** And yes, I've been told it IS all lichens.
I took this photo in the spring of an ornamental cabbage in the garden. i thought it looked a little alien-like.
Yeah, I know, I see silly things. I'm going to blame my Mom because when I was younger she and I would find shapes in our food. It made my engineer Dad so frustrated that we "played with our food" and he would only ever reluctantly admit that some piece of food looked like a whale or a frog. I don't see an animal here, but it looks like some sort of alien probe reaching out and looking for signs of other life. Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday.
Hey folks, it's Alex here, today I'm doing a picture with a lot of insects minifigs😏
Tomorrow, I'm going to go on a trip for holidays, in Dominican Republic☀️

Happy Novvember! In much the same way as I redid the ADU mech, I've reduced the alien Crescent to its component parts and started again.
Once again, the big saucer pieces are integral to the build (although I'm honestly sick of them, they're so big and blocky!), along with the lime fins. I've also used some of the larger shells to round out the back of the cockpit, so all told this is a rather chonky build.
I started with the triangular-finned prongs, and from there the build continued. I do wish I had a third 16x4 wedge, as I've used two for the wings, and I think for maximum absurdity it would have been good for it to be the stabiliser too. No such luck though, so I made a more sensibly-proportioned fin.
This will be coming to Bricktastic in February, along with the rest of the ADU/alien invaders. Come say hello!

How could an alien look like, a bird like? It’s difficult to anticipate that. Aliens could play with their DNA to create additional functions and / or they might replace some body-parts, made by steels, plastics, ceramics, etc., to increase functionality, durability, and replaceability.
To make sure that they exist all the time, they might copy their data daily and save. So long there is no change in current data processors, which are feelings and emotions, and guidelines created by the historical-data collection, they can process any new data the same way, so that no change would occur in their personalities. They might play with their processors and shift their selves, by adding up some new hormones, to a better and stable psychological level to control their feelings and emotions.
Feelings and emotions make us alive. Without them, we would be biological robots and could exist on earth without knowing our existence, with breathing oxygen (like electrical motors needed electricity) and doing the other functions that we normally do, but like robots. We couldn’t achieve the stage of controlling our feelings and emotions yet. We are at the hand of the nature, forming us according to its capabilities. Some aliens might be already in that stage. The life would be easier for them, and they could develop exponentially after reaching this stage. They could easily create a human being like us on any suitable planet.
We have to find the ways to control our feelings and emotions without waiting a biological change.
We kill each other. We are not always mentally stable and get mentally ill (some people are in hospitals). It is tough to change how our bodies function, but we have the teaching power of our society. We have to better educate ourselves about how we function.

I had to post this image of sunrise at Mono Lake in honor of the discovery arsenic eating bacteria here announced yesterday. This confirms what anyone who has visited this place already knows...this is truly an alien place!

To continue my collection of Brickheadz Alien, here is Ripley vs the Queen and Face Hugger. Those were "fun" to create particularly the Queen... or was it the Face Hugger & Egg? What's your favourite?
BTW building instructions for these figures are ready in my shop :

Left is with the reshade+sweetfx config. It may not look like much but I think that in subtlety is key here. Besides, I've not finished the game either so I don't want to stray off from the original looks just yet.
