Came across this today, shame it's not alien, but very strange attacted to a old log washed up on Porthtowan beach today. They are called Goose barnacles and often attach themselves to driftwood and other objects in the ocean. Thought I would share it with everyone.

For NGWC: light writing
For EHBD: alien bokeh!
I have no idea how I got the bokeh behind my little man here, but I like it!
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!
You know when you see Dr Who or Sc-Fi films where you capture a glimpse of the Alien inside the human....well heres mine

"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."

This one is definitely better than my last Alien Viper. This started as a Viper for a different theme but it ended up not fitting, so I changed the cockpit. (You'll probably see the other themed one tomorrow) I'm really proud of this one too, the shape is so unique.

I'm back to listening on the Alien Shozy paired with the Fiio A1 amp, a really pleasing combination.
The Velvet 56 lens also likes rendering sharp edged objects as well as curvy stuff.
Trees are amazing. I found this pair of beech on a walk today reminiscent of aliens (not that I have met too many). I used IR to increase the contrast with the background; in colour the tonality was too uniform.
I'm not getting embroiled in the border wall controversy. I'd like to be re-admitted sometime.
All I'm going to say is that despite California being almost 100% walled or fenced from Mexico, this one still got through...
A meeting of Sunset Route stacks at Wister CA. Highway 111 parallels the tracks for the 57 miles from Indio to Niland, much of it hugging the shore of the Salton Sea.
And it's one heck of a busy route, a 5 hour period from lunchtime to sunset netting 13 separate trains.
Highly recommended.

Thought I'd upload something for Alien day, although in Australia, we put day/month rather than month day, so it doesn't really work. The damaged alien that came with Hicks is broken, so I've had to prop it up.

alien eye,,,,,,
feels like ages since i did any hardcore Photoshop work so i finished this pic today,, was done with a base image of my eye then painted and layered with various brushes and clone tools.
let me know what you all think?
Ripley, Newt (Comic Con exclusive), the Alien queen, & some eggs by NECA.
I know the light from the flash is still there, but I'm not good at photoshop (other than basic things like contrast/brightness, & colour balance, which I did here).

Variation of a text-prompt generation in AI Deep Dream. The text contained the words ALIEN, GIGER and BOSCH.
The option of Text Prompt is a new feature on Deep Dream.
Going back and forth between Deep Dream and Dream Wombo, I used a previous result from Deep Dream as a seed on Dream Wombo (in Flora 2 mode), then used that result again on Deep Dream in Fusion mode at 50%. All with the same prompt.
