The nickname "Innovari" (meaning innovation or renewal in Latin) has been with me since I came across Syd Mead's prototype car design of the same name in his wonderful book "Sentinel." This work, with its air of "a new era of design"—along with the works of many SF and fantasy illustrators (such as Chris Foss, Peter Elson, Angus McKie, Chris Moore, Jim Burns, and Fred Gambino)—drove me over the years to do my own artwork.
"Fantastic fiction" always had a remarkable weight in my whole personal and professional life. I have been a professional SF author, I edited a fantasy and horror movie magazine, and for ten years have been chief modelmaker in my own special effects company.
In the last decade my creativity has leaned towards computer graphics and 3D illustrations in particular—with which I wanted to create professional artworks for books and magazines. I'm happy to say that in recent years this objective has been fulfilled, with many works sold worldwide to private and corporate clients.
Currently I'm building my worlds in Bologna, Italy, where I share a home with my wife Raffaella and our cats Leeloo and Merlin.

The one on the left is your grey alien classic the one on the right I dont think looks tat alien, maybe thats what aliens will actually look like but in the whole aspect of stereotypical iconic imagery the right wins out for me anyway. Good luck with the commission your really working hard on it.

Try UV mapping and makign a cutom texture on teh left one and I think you will have a keeper.

My Honest opinion? Take both pictures, go into you picture program and morph them together. Pick 60 frames... on the 30th frame in will be half of each... that is my opinion. How many aliens do you see with hair? not too many if at all. Put some twists in it... come up with something new... You don't like the hair idea??? Try this - stubble, 5 o'clock shadow.

What struck me immediately is we see the one on the left all the time. Whereas the one on the right is very original and in my opinion, the one to go with. I like the hair idea from MIKEERSON though. But what about something REALLY alien. Let's face it - we've done the bipedal, bi-occular version to death.

I think the classic grey type on the left does it for me, but I ain't a Big Brazilian Publisher ! the backdrop is very kool too ~Cheers~ :o)
CrimsonDesire
Very cool images, I'd have a tough time choosing just one, perhaps it is all in one's personal perception. Good luck and awesome work ^^

I have to agree with Bryster, something REALLY alien (like something off of the TV show "Alien Planet") would be cool. But from the other images you've made I draw that your customer is more about stereotypical alien stuff. In any case these figures are well made :-)

I am not sure about this one.....I like both characters...well yeah...maybe this time the right one...or...hmmm...I am just going to sit here and wait what you come up with....good luck with it !!!!!

The one on the left looks pretty good .

Okay, here's a bizarre thought: What if the humanoid sentient on the right actually uses a vac suit helmet built to the design at left? Perhaps its culture believes a helmet which looks like that to be less threatening/more impressive than a purely utilitarian model? Or, maybe it is a mask for some Antarean courting ritual. I like the idea of a slightly unusual being beneath the outer layer everyone seems to expect... anyway, both are superb concepts.
