While we are waiting for Stranger Things season 4 we wanted to make something based on creatures and mood we love.
So we came up with the idea of blending Stranger Things, Aliens and The Thing in one super short experimental project.

I was responsible for the whole project assembly, environment creation, lighting and directing while my buddy Damien did the stunning creature, animated blend shapes as well as helped with some overall art direction.

The whole scene runs in Unreal Engine even though it's not in a proper real time project.
Environment heavily relies on Quixel's megascans as usual.
