Sculpt progress on the Praetorian Alien (Egg Morpher) from the Dark Horse comic series Aliens: Defiance. 1:18 scale.

Completed the sculpt work on the upper and lower arms. I am using Aves FIXIT sculpt as my sculpt material, a two-part epoxy.

The arms are elongated per the design and description by the original artist. Other than the head, the body of the Praetorian borrows much of the original Giger design of the beast for the 79 film, but with minior changes to the arms and legs. The next step in the build will be the hands and upper legs.

I'm right in the middle of this and two other projects I'm trying to get some progress on including the Alien Newborn (Resurrection) and the Alien Queen (Aliens). I may though begin a couple xeno sculpts that are concept driven...artists concepts never brought to film or publication. I have a couple ideas so far. Hope to have something to show soon.

Sculpt progress on the "Egg Morpher" Xenomorph - Alien: Defiance (Dark Horse Comics) - 1:18 scale.

Another set of images showing progression. The last image is the latest (late last night). Sculpting with Aves FIXIT.

Two things I plan to change - the ribbing just below the carapace needs to be thinned out, and the vertebral segments at the back of the head needs to have a higher arc.

The creature is unexplained..which is intriguing to me because I don't need to know a reason for it's existence. It's depiction in the comic is something out of nightmares (read the comic series, you'll understand).More to come! #alien #aliens #nostromo #darkhorsecomics #xenomorph #eggmorphing #sculpting #customactionfigure #miniature #avesstudio

Sculpt update on the Egg Morpher - Aliens: Defiance (Dark Horse Comics) - 1:18 scale. I've been told by many fans of the species that this would be considered a Praetorian Xenomorph that has the ability to egg morph it's victims. I'm absolutely fine with that!

Closing in on completing the head sculpt of the beast. Enlarged the arc of the vertebral shell and added detail to the back and underbelly of the cranium. Still have a few more details to add before this and the jaw get a mold bath. This will be a tricky head sculpt to mold correctly. More to come! Including some new projects just getting started! #alien #aliens #defiance #xenomorph #praetorian #avesfixitsculpt #avesstudio #sculpting #nostromo #eggmorphing

Sculpt update to the Praetorian Xenomorph (egg morpher) - Alien: Defiance - 1:18 scale work in progress.

Sculpt using Aves FIXIT from Aves Studio LLC

Forgive the skinny arms and clay spots holding everything together LOL! Using some wax clay to bring in all the parts to show how the figure is coming along. The arm frames are prior castings of the 79 Alien along with acrylic rods to make the appendages longer - the length of the creature's limbs are to be exaggerated just bit. In my opinion the elongated limbs brings with it that "creep" factor. The next step will be to sculpt the arms and begin work on the tail...which will conatin a good amount of detail.
