Arrival - Heptapod

Early pre-production creature work done for the film, Arrival. Back in 2011/2012.

I got the call early on to develop the first take on the Heptapod's design, working closely with the director to also model and texture an early pre-vis version of the aliens to be used in test footage. Fun project and was exciting to see the film years later hit the big screen! While the original concept wasn't used, I was pleased to see it contributed to the making of the movie.
