Oh, okay. I'm trying to think if I've seen that kind or not... I've been using fw acrylic ink because that's what my roommate taught me to use (for airbrushing).

Airbrush or paintbrush or combination?

Awesome Work!!
I love your painting and i love the model.
I wish they had used this one in the movie.
I hate how the re-used alien tails for the hair of the pred-alien in the movie. This model looks much more right.

anywho. i like that its not quite like the movie version. i thought AVPR's design was a bit too alieny. needed more predator like we need more cowbell.

Rodrigo-Vega In reply to chibilombax [2011-02-26 03:44:55 +0000 UTC]

In fact it wasn't alien enough imo.
Naturally hosted aliens seem to only take the body plan and basic structure of the host. If the skin of human-hosted aliens looks well.. alien and not human, there is little reason to believe that if hosted in a predator the creature would get it's skin or other supperficial features.

Don't get me wrong, this design is awesome, but I think it better fits the description of what you'd get if you genetically combined Alien and Predator DNA as an experiement (like it was done with aliens and humans in Alien Resurection) in which the hybrid is a real blend of both specimens.

A predalien isn't any more of a hybrid than a regular alien is a human-alien (or dog-alien in the third movie) hybrid.

Very nice. You can pick out what parts are alien and what parts are predator.
