Here are my first sketches of some strange creatures mainly based on sea animals and bacteria I like the guy on the left as I wanted one of my alien trio to represent aggression and looking very sharp and deadly so I think I will run with him for that purpose.
As for the other two I can see these perhaps being characters already present in the prison at the time the protagonist arrives at the prison and they are inmates he meets during his captivity.

After Discussing my ideas and alien concepts in the lecture it was pointed out that my designs looked kinda like they could be costumes worn by ordinary humans due to there anatomical structure being very similar to a human as opposed to an alien being.

I not only want to experiment with new body shapes but to consider the design aspects of these creatures and to make them visually more interesting and impactfull on the viewer.
