Aliens Poster

I had to redesign a movie poster for my digital imaging class. Since I've been obsessed with the ALIENS series since I was about 8, I chose to do a tribute to the entire saga. This was probably the least painful painting I've done in a long time, A) because I've been drawing these bastards for years and B) I used the burn/dodge method, which is an old and very familiar way of painting for me. This design isn't from a particular movie, so much as my own interpretation based on the various types I've seen from the movies and comics.
