After finally getting my Rhino 3D license sorted out, I was able to perform the serial slicing and rigid shell construction for my alien head model. The paint job was an experimental risk: I had never painted a fluorescent sculpture intended for blacklight viewing before. I wouldn't know until weeks later what the intended result would actually look like when viewed properly.
Admittedly, I am quite pleased with the result of the black-light test, shown below: perhaps this alien species is capable of bio-luminescence in such a manner. As another development in the lore for this creature, I've chosen to have it communicate through telepathy rather than auditory vocalization. As such, a vestigial protrusion exists where the creature's mouth might have been millions of years ago, before evolution made no longer necessary. You might ask, then, "how does this creature eat without a mouth?" My answer? "You don't want to know."
