Description
This is my entry into the Avatar Design Contest. I am entirely new to 3D sculpting, I have been working at this for a week and started over many times already. I've learnt so much in such a short time, mostly watching YouTube videos of speed sculpting. I welcome any critique/advice or suggestions.
Unfortunately I got a bit sub divide happy and I think I subdivided too early any my .obj file is over 200mb! I can provide a dropbox link to the though file if required.
So back to the model... I love playing anything related to space exploration (Kerbal Space Program and No Mans Sky have been some of my favorite so far). With this in mind an extra terrestrial was an obvious choice for my avatar and being a fictional character it should be slightly more achievable with my (current) limited skillset.
I am really happy with how this turned out. I am now hooked on sculpting and I am going to start a more ambitious project in the coming weeks as soon as I figure out what that will be. Thank you to Pinshape and their sponsors for this awesome contest which motivated me to jump into 3D sculpting.
*The STL attached is the version that I printed (I scaled it down to 90% before printing to fit my printer bed). It prints perfectly with a few supports.

How tall is it?
Hi Nathan, I used mudbox as I already have a student account with them. Im going to try zbrush for my next sculpt to see how the two compare. I believe they offer a free trial.
congrats on your entry, since you are just starting 3D sculpting I suggest you study a lot of anatomy , even though your entry is an alien , aliens have a lot of similarities to humans when it comes to anatomy. zbrush offers a trial, they also offer a student version and they also have zbrush core so you have options , I am still working on my entry hopefully I will finish it soon. Goodluck on your entry and your future 3D endeavors.
