High Poly


Low Poly

Do you have texture flats?

Your highpoly and your lowpoly male looks solid. Maybe his feet got another loop for the toe movement.

In my opinion the alien has boring shapes and is not really a eye catcher. If you had not say that there is an alien in your scene, I have not recognized it
And your textures could have more variations. It looks a little bit flat.

Looks cool, unique design. Your sculpt could've had some finer details i think. Also, the head of a penis is not that color, its more reddish.

The skin texturing seems streaky, instead of splotchy. You might want to fix that to get it looking more realistic.

Google ysalex skin texturing tutorial, that may help you if you have ZBrush.

What exactly do you mean with "boring" and "more variations"?

I have no ZBrush. I used Mudbox. Is it necessary?

Crazy_pixel

More colour variations inside the human skin, like more red and blue tones, veins, hair or beauty spots.

For example ..

You can see the warm parts of his face, like nose, ears etc.

In my opinion your alien or parasite needs a little bit more love. The Facehugger has a very strong shape, also the little creatures from Dead Space.



I think you have the problem, that you cover your whole creature with blood, so the details are very hard to notice.


Maybe I could help you with my criticism

Hey Crazy_Pixel,

yes of course!!! Every creative Criticm is helpful!

I will to pay attantion to it in my next character of course!!!

Thx

I think the main problem with this is the human doesn't look like he's in pain at all, I'd expect a screaming expression on his face. At the moment he just looks a bit sad about the fact something has burst through his torso.

Maybe look at some scan data expressions for reference, like this one. ( Kind of looks like he could be baring the pain)




Bottom one could work....

Hope this doesn't sound harsh in anyway,

Cheers
