I tried to capture the "movie magic" look of the aliens by painting strong blue/green hues on raised surfaces ... hopefully, this increases the mood of the piece. :)

The dome on the top alien was cast in clear resin ... that's why you can see the detail so well on the close-up. Painting the other "non-clear" domes to have the same "feel" as this one was one of the greater challenges of the project.
