Unused Alien Designs + 3D Model

More early White Spike Concept Sketches I did for The Tomorrow War. The initial script had a battle scene at the Miami Beach that was mostly in water. Therefore, in the early sketches, I pictured the White Spikes more aquatic with tentacle-like legs. The main influences were the Tripods from 'War of the Worlds' and the Sentinels from 'The Matrix'. During the design process, those tentacles eventually became the two tails on the back.
Later I added joints to the legs which made the design look more insectoid. That design got approved by the director and studio. Weta Digital, Luma Pictures, Framestore, Method Studios and Spectral Motion used my work to bring them to life.
