Classic sci-fi / horror monster, Alien, as depicted by Funko POP!. The photo was taken in an old gun powder mill on the grounds of Hagley Museum in Wilmington, Delaware.
Yeah, bit of a cash in doing an Alien piece after Giger's death, but had the idea for this waiting to get out and some paint that needed using. I've done Alien pieces before, but wanted to do one in my style of 'houses and trees'. Almost like crossing the everyday and twee with the darkness. Giger and the Alien films were a big influence on me and my art when I was younger along with mind altering experiences, arcade games and music. I wanted to pay tribute to that.
This result is very different from the others, but still good enough in reproducing the prompt. Overall I am impressed.
Emma's prompt was: "A vast futuristic megacity sprawls across a glowing red desert planet at an incandescent sunset. The sky erupts in gradients of burning orange, electric magenta, and deep cosmic blue, sliced by luminous streaks of spacecraft traveling at hypersonic speed. Two moons and a colossal gas giant dominate the skyline, crushing the horizon with their immense presence. In the foreground, an ultra-detailed combat spacecraft, with a weathered metallic hull and pulsing blue ion thrusters, skims just above the dusty surface, kicking up fine particle clouds. The camera performs a smooth lateral tracking shot, with slight realistic vibration as if captured by a high-speed military drone. The city consists of organic, modular structures, blending neo-futuristic architecture with biomechanical design. Towering spires bristle with antennas, translucent domes glow softly, and floating platforms interconnect via luminous bridges. Every surface reflects the sunset with hyperrealistic rendering, featuring ray tracing, global illumination, and intricate micro-textures such as wear, dust, and condensation. Hundreds of aerial vehicles weave through the air, leaving plasma trails and subtle heat distortion effects. Massive holographic billboards display unknown symbols and alien advertisements, gently blurred by cinematic depth of field, with anamorphic bokeh and delicate lens flares. In the background, jagged mountain ranges carve into the horizon, wrapped in volumetric atmospheric haze. Low-angle sunlight enhances the terrain, creating dramatic contrasts worthy of an epic science fiction film."

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.
Actually as I am writing this I have one of my techno/dance tracks on called Raise your hands and these little Grevilia's look as if their little hands are being raised.
Another Grevilia I hadn't seen before and I just thought it was so gorgeous especially as some of the flowers look like Aliens (and we all know Aliens and me are close friends LOL).
I know I twiddled this into submission but I did like how the sunlight was twinkling on the leaves of the Gum Tree.
Aliens avoid area 51 you know. Because of all the alien abductions nowadays…

"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."

I'm convinced that Aliens crash-landed in Roswell, NM back in 1947... but what the government didn't want us to know is that they were balloons. Here is proof, and they were everywhere that day. LOL!

Alien She
Sep 3, 2015 – Jan 9, 2016
Alien She, curated by Astria Suparak + Ceci Moss, is the first exhibition to examine the lasting impact of Riot Grrrl on artists and cultural producers working today. A pioneering punk feminist movement that emerged in the early 1990s, Riot Grrrl has had a pivotal influence, inspiring many around the world to pursue socially and politically progressive careers as artists, activists, authors and educators. Emphasizing female and youth empowerment, collaborative organization, creative resistance and DIY ethics, Riot Grrrl helped a new generation to become active feminists and create their own culture and communities that reflect their values and experiences, in contrast to mainstream conventions and expectations.
Riot Grrrl formed in reaction to pervasive and violent sexism, racism and homophobia in the punk music scene and in the culture at large. Its participants adapted strategies from earlier queer and punk feminisms and ‘70s radical politics, while also popularizing discussions of identity politics occurring within academia, but in a language that spoke to a younger generation. This self-organized network made up of teenagers and twenty-somethings reached one another through various platforms, such as letters, zines, local meetings, regional conferences, homemade videos, and later, chat rooms, listservs and message boards. The movement eventually spread worldwide, with chapters opening in at least thirty-two states and twenty-six countries.* Its ethos and aesthetics have survived well past its initial period in the ‘90s, with many new chapters forming in recent years. Riot Grrrl’s influence on contemporary global culture is increasingly evident – from the Russian collective Pussy Riot’s protest against corrupt government-church relations to the popular teen website Rookie and the launch of Girls Rock Camps and Ladyfest music and art festivals around the world.
Alien She focuses on seven people whose visual art practices were informed by their contact with Riot Grrrl. Many of them work in multiple disciplines, such as sculpture, installation, video, documentary film, photography, drawing, printmaking, new media, social practice, curation, music, writing and performance – a reflection of the movement’s artistic diversity and mutability. Each artist is represented by several projects from the last 20 years, including new and rarely seen works, providing an insight into the development of their creative practices and individual trajectories.
Artists: Ginger Brooks Takahashi (Pittsburgh), Tammy Rae Carland (Oakland), Miranda July (Los Angeles), Faythe Levine (Milwaukee), Allyson Mitchell (Toronto), L.J. Roberts (Brooklyn), Stephanie Syjuco (San Francisco) and more.

Shots of my NECA Aliens figures I took when that version of Vasquez was released.
Some Photoshop adjustments in brightness/contrast & color balance. Film grain was also added. Taken on my Nikon D7000.
Back before the invasion, the A.D.U. was a pair of star searchers looking for life from other worlds.
Quite the relaxed time, parked in a field, good tunes blasting from their custom jukebox trailer, scanning the skies for broadcasts, sipping on a cool drink. They hoped to get a transmission from extra terrestrials, but the closest they ever got was 'Space Truckin'."
It wasn't until those hooligans from outer space came along in their van, defacing the rolling fields of wheat that things got serious. This was the A.D.U.'s field for driving around in, not some green skinned jerk's. When Uncle Sam came a-calling, the Alien Discovery Unit was the first to be called to defend our planet, and with some government funding they became the force many of us now know today.
