Created using ZBrush and Photoshop.

After the collection of multiple references from alien creatures on the internet, a new idea begun being developed in my head.

This sculpture started out as a Zshpere and was stretched out with Dynamesh to get the right mesh volumes.

The next step was to reconstruct the subdivisions after multiple projections.

When the bust sculpt was completed, I created UVs for it and then started painting on it.

Passes were rendered out from ZBrush and composited in Photoshop in order to get the final result.

A model of the full body is in the works.
