Gemini Alien
For a school project, I wanted to create a very alien character. I started by playing with the idea of dark, shadowy creatures as aliens. Then, I started sketching design ideas based on the zodiac constellations. I had the idea of "stars" in two different aliens fusing together to create one constellations, one being. The best constellations to do that with would be Gemini, the twins. So, I created two different aliens, Pollux and Castor, named after the two biggest stars in the Gemini constellation. When the two fuse together, they create the alien Gemini.
Final Gemini design.
A frame by frame illustration of how the two stars fuse to become a constellation.
Initial alien sketches. I was just kinda playing around and getting a feel for what kind of alien I wanted.
A design I did for an alien based off of the Aries constellation.
An alien design based on the Taurus constellation. The red eye is based on Taurus's biggest star, which is a red giant and considered to be the eye of the bull.
