This came about by accident. I have been folding some wonderful, cute models by Riki Saito and folded the white alien from Jo Nakashima's excellent video tutorial at:

While I was folding I noticed I had made a mistake and didn't have enough paper left to finish the legs. Rather than re-do the model, I decided to change the legs into a skirt. I then folded another one, correctly, from green paper. When I put the two together I thought how the white one looked like a bride, so decided that this was an alien wedding.
Grateful thanks to Riki for the wonderful designs, and to Jo Nakashima for all of his wonderful tutorials.

The first Alien movie may be the only movie I’ve seen in this long franchise, but it’s my favorite horror movie of all time. That being said, I was really excited to see that Alien: Covenant was returning to its roots as a horror movie first, rather than the sequel, Aliens. I also really enjoyed the Martian, so I seeing that Ridley Scott had returned to form, I checked out Alien: Covenant last night! So was Alien: Covenant as good as the first Alien that I love so much, or was it more like the rest of the franchise, which from what I’ve heard, are quite bad. Let’s check it out!!
Good: Now this movie was surprisingly intellectual. Now I heard that Prometheus explored some of these questions that the movie poses, but I haven’t seen Prometheus, so this movie really gave me the desire to watch it! I love learning about the origins of the Xenomorphs, it was so interesting! But with these great intellectual moments come some great suspense and scares. The xenomorphs in this movie were really awesome, the CGI really helped them be more active than when they are just a dude in a suit. Now let’s talk about the performances. Everyone in this movie was really good but the obvious stand out Michael Fassbender. You could really tell he was having a great time in his role and he really just chewed up his lines, making him both creepy and funny at times too.
Bad: Now I’m going to be honest, I should’ve seen Prometheus before seeing this movie. There was so much confusing stuff that I didn’t understand because they were all referencing Prometheus. I feel like I would enjoy this movie a lot more if I had seen Prometheus. My next complaint is that there were a lot of scenes in the movie where I felt like I’ve already seen them! Most of movie just felt like a rip off of Alien, like there were times where I called things would happen because I’ve seen Alien, and they would happen. I’m not talking about certain themes or motifs or anything, I’m talking about actual scenes. Because of that, most of this movie is very predictable, especially the ending, you can see it coming from a mile away. The last complaint I have is that the first act is a little slow until the alien shows up. I understand that Ridley Scott was trying to build up the characters in the first act, but I feel like they should’ve done some more interesting things.
Overall, this movie is the kind of movie that I’d only see once maybe, but it really inspired me to see Prometheus. It had some great suspense and scares, but with a rather messy and unoriginal basic plot. For these reasons, I’m giving Alien: Covenant a 7.5/10. I had a great time with this movie, but I don’t plan on seeing it again any time soon, instead, I want to go check out the other Alien movies! If you’ve seen Alien: Covenant, let me know what you thought about it in the comments below, and remember, no spoilers!
Ant-mimicking Treehopper (Cyphonia clavata) From the side, this looks like an ant. From above, it looks like an alien.

Aliens invaded my jeep. See the blog vagabondexpedition.com for more. (long exposure photo with some EL wire - amzn.to/21wts2U )
My son asked for a Halloween themed shoot in his astronaut costume. He liked the result.
Stock images have been used for the background and the alien (obviously).
© David K. Edwards. It pulls your head forward and briskly sucks out your eyeballs (it does something additional and cute if you are wearing glasses). Then it eats your face, devouring almost all of the skin and muscle. When finished, it emits a series of high-pitched burps that are somehow even more terrifying than its strident hunting call. In the photograph, note also the green puercoceptor organ, which curls when inactive.
This alien is very similar in design as the Worker Alien. The main difference is the orientation of the motorcycle chassis. By just turning it upside down you get a totally different look.
Not shown: arms and tails. These are basic droid arm connections.
Have a look at the notes for more information.

I couldn't resist this guy.
For the space alien wackiness !
You squeeze his torso and a bubble pops out of the the top of his head . Then you turn him upside down. And it fills up with red goop.... He has sounds effects too. Some strange alien gibbering sounds ...
Not liking how he looks with the empty space above his head. But that is his gimmick. He is about 13 1/2 inches tall and big scaled. Doesn't fit with my other toys. But too weird to pass up :)

Kirk is human, the other 2 are "aliens"
Spock and Kirk are part of the Federation
The Kirk figure is an original 1974 Mego and the other 2 are reproductions.
A crashed alien from the recent attack was captured by the European Union Rapid Deployment Forces (RDF) and shipped to a super secret lab near Örebro, Sweden. These shots were surreptiously shot during the autopsy in the lab.
I really like how this one came out. It took me allot of time to blend in the rocks with the outer space sky. I also adjusted the shadows and lighting on the rocks,water and sand to look more natural with the new sky.
Who knows how an alien beach would really look with a sky like this?. Let me know what you think of this picture, leave a comment below.
Same as previous, slightly different image with a longer exposure and touched up in shop.
info: 2 guns. 430ex from front 1/2 with a softbox and another at 1/1 from above with a very long snoot. The one above was suspended with a fishing pole. Triggered with canon IR. If anyone wants to donate some pocket wizards, please feel free. The light line was created with canned smoke from behind the models head.

French postcard by Editions Mercuri, no. 466. Image: Spanish lobby card for Alien (Ridley Scott, 1979). The Spanish title is 'Alien, el octavo pasajero'.
"In space, no one can hear you scream" is the tagline of the Sci-Fi Horror classic Alien (Ridley Scott, 1979). A close encounter of the third kind becomes a Jaws-style nightmare when an alien invades a spacecraft. Alien stands as one of the more thought-provoking, yet utterly terrifying horror films ever. Sigourney Weaver is amazing as Ellen Ripley, who became an iconic character in film history. The film won an Oscar for special effects, including the alien designed by Swiss artist H.R. Giger.
It is the year 2122. The U.S.C.S. Nostromo (Italian for "mate"), a commercial cargo spacecraft, is flying to Earth with several million tonnes of ore on board. The ship is manned by seven people and a sophisticated computer, which the crew call "Mother". The crew members are the men Dallas, Ash, Kane, Parker and Brett and the women Ripley and Lambert. The crew is woken up from hibernation by the ship's Mother computer to answer a distress signal from a nearby planet. Capt. Dallas's (Tom Skerritt) rescue team discovers a bizarre pod field, but things get even stranger when a face-hugging creature bursts out of a pod and attaches itself to Kane (John Hurt). Over the objections of Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), science officer Ash (Ian Holm) lets Kane back on the ship. The acid-blooded incubus detaches itself from an apparently recovered Kane, but an alien erupts from Kane's stomach and escapes. The alien starts stalking the humans, pitting Dallas and his crew (and cat) against a malevolent killing machine that also has a protector in the nefarious Company. While still a student at the University of Southern California, scriptwriter Dan O'Bannon had teamed up with director John Carpenter to make a comic science fiction film called Dark Star. His experience making this film gave Bannon the idea of making a similar film, but with a horror theme instead of a comedy. A few years later, he began writing a screenplay around this idea. Around the same time, Ronald Shusett began working on a screenplay that would eventually become Total Recall. He contacted O'Bannon after seeing Dark Star, after which the two decided to work together on Alien. However, O'Bannon had not yet thought about what the monster should look like.
Swiss artist H.R. Giger's alien design and Carlo Rambaldi's visual effects for Alien (1979) creepily meld technology with corporeality, creating a claustrophobic environment that is coldly mechanical yet horribly anthropomorphized, like the metallic monster itself. Director Ridley Scott keeps the alien out of full view, hiding it in the dark or camouflaging it in the workings of the Nostromo. Lucia Bozzola at AllMovie: "Signs of '70s cultural upheaval permeate Alien's future world, from the relationship between corporate capitalism and rapacious monstrosity to the heterogeneous crew and Ripley's forceful horror heroine. However, the intense frights and gross-outs are credited with making Alien one of the biggest hits of 1979 (it premiered on the two-year anniversary of Star Wars); Giger, Rambaldi, et al. won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects." Alien went on to spawn some genre-bending sequels: the actioner Aliens (1986), dark prison drama Alien 3 (1992), and the exotically grotesque Alien Resurrection (1997). In 2003, a director's cut of Alien (1979) was released in cinemas, with some additional scenes. The franchise now counts seven films. Roger Ebert: "Certainly the character of Ripley, played by Sigourney Weaver, would have appealed to readers in the Golden Age of Science Fiction. She has little interest in the romance of finding the alien, and still less in her employer's orders that it be brought back home as a potential weapon. After she sees what it can do, her response to "Special Order 24" ("Return alien lifeform, all other priorities rescinded") is succinct: "How do we kill it?" Her implacable hatred for the alien is the common thread running through all three "Alien" sequels, which have gradually descended in quality but retained their motivating obsession."

Finally, a completely empty tunnel. Now I can create the photo I wanted to take the whole time.
This is the view of the uncompleted tunnel, before outfitting of the tracks and electrical systems, as viewed from Rosebank towards Sandton which is now part of the Gautrain train system in Johannesburg.
Explored :)
Thanks everybody !
