If the Stan Winston School team ever had any doubt about the existence of alien life in the universe, it has forever disappeared as a result of our Alien Contest. Your entries were so stellar that we're convinced a few of them had to be inspired by your own close encounters of the third kind. In the end, we had to select a single extraterrestrial to rule the stars (at least until our next alien contest) and the Grand Prize goes to....

Barthe created this multi-limbed ET with sculpting clay, air-hardened and then painted. We think there's something super cool and unsettling about how he combined the familiar (human-like hands) with something completely alien (that face!!). Thanks again to all of you who submitted so many out-of-this-world creations!

This guy was an experiment for myself in blending arthropod and vertebrate forms and generally just playing around with anatomy. The part that I found to be the most fun was flipping the hips backward and trying to make that work. Sculpted in Monster Clay it is approximately 16 inches long.
