Face-Off - T-shirt design for Curbside Clothing

"Once they move in, the Sarbaxxion mind slugs never leave."

Micro-fiction by Matt Barker

First of all, Face-Off staring Nicholas Cage and John Travolta is the greatest movie ever made. (Fight me.) However, the final design went in a much different direction than the initial inspiration.

I first cobbled together a 3D model in Poser to use as a template. The alien design went to something less humanoid and more parasite-looking. 

The final coloring and effects went through several iterations. I used the True Grit Texture Supply's "Kraftone" brushes to get the aged, retro comic look and feel.
