Started by first drawing a picture of my alien and scanning it onto my pc. The modeling I start with a plane and using edge select I added more polys while pushing or pulling the verts out to get the desired shape of my alien.
step 2 of 2
I made the body, hands and feet from separate planes and just followed the outline of my drawing and moved verts to get the shapes. I then added some spheres for the eyes. I used vray dirt maps for the head and body colors and setup vray for the render.
