A few years back I did some early development work for a film I'll call it the "Alien Project". I worked on it for about a year, then I left the studio. Last I heard, they'd shelved the project...so here's some of my work. Sorry, I can't divulge the story...just in case they decide to start back up again.
ALIEN HEADS
These utilize a cool mirror image technique developed by Scott Robertson. Check out his new book Alien Race, published by Design Studio Press. It's awesome!!! There are several examples of alien heads done using the same technique. Thanks Scott!
CREATURES
This one was inspired by a sketch by John Bevelheimer.
ALIEN GEAR ASSEMBLY
CRASH SITE
CITY CONCEPT
TRANSFORMING BUILDING (Don't ask.)
POD ARCHITECTURE
Architecture made out of giant seed pods (WTF???) (^-^)
SALVAGE ARCHITECTURE
Architecture made out of salvaged spaceship parts. (See "Crash Site" above.) Sorry, I can't explain the connection...but it was a story point.
The basic design for this was inspired by the early work of visionary architect, Lebbeus Woods.
SALVAGE CITY

wow. amazing work, as usual.
Paul, those aliens and the WTF seedpods just made my night. :) Fantastic, everything's just beautiful...
...and I LOVE that salvage architecture. It's exactly like an alien steampunk jewellery design waiting to happen!
So, so glad to see some more of this gorgeous stuff, I hope you're keeping well! (I keep saying I'm going to email you and Armand and Marcelo and Marcos, and I never quite get around to it before the next busy period kicks in, but I will before Christmas!)

really interesting approach with the alien heads too!
sweet! I forgot about the mirror image technique - I'm gonna go do some of that. thanks
Badass.
Beautiful stuff Paul.
I hope if they bring 'it' back up they will put these designs to good use. I still remember the first time I saw the 'blue tones concept' for the city. I couldn't have been more impressed.
Madness! Too awesome Paul, Your blue city environment and salvage City..just beautiful.
Thanks for being so gracious about showing your work.
It's a great pleasure!

You finally posted these!! I hadn't seen the alien wreckage. It's phenomenal! Gorgeous stuff as always Paul. :)
Love your pod architecture!!!
Really really nice design.
Hope to see new works from you soon
Hey stranger, good to see you post something new. Yeah I remember these from when we worked on this project. Great stuff. I hope things are well. I will have to email you soon.
Fantastic stuff! I love the twisted stacks. Your illustrations would make fun video game levels!
Cara parabens você é um fenomeno da art!!
What nice work! I recently found your salvage architecture images during a random search for something else entirely. As an architect, I immediately wondered if they had anything to do with Leb Woods. And of course, you confirm it here.
I'm starting to think that concept art really is at the top of the "design heap" these days. Artists such as yourself seem to be so much more imaginative, more talented and less constrained than the overrated drafts-people (aside from rarities such as Woods) that seem to populate my field.
I love all of them!
specially the little alien that looks more for the children!
I can't believe you can produce work so fast !
amazing
:)
These are my favorite ones I've seen from you so far (:
I haven't talked to you in so long! How are you guys? How's Amelia?
I stumbled upon the card she sent me with her school picture when I moved to Washington.
Your work is amazing as usual (:
