Book Review: Aliens: Beyond Dreams

Aliens: Beyond Dreams - 01

I've recently received a 16-page softcover artbook from Fernando Palma of Future Stable Studios.

Aliens: Beyond Dreams is a collection of concept art and visualisation that showcases sci-fi landscapes and alien lifeforms. Palma had mentioned Syd Mead as one of his inspiration and indeed it shows with his personal art. The designs and colours really reminds me of Syd Mead's work. The environments are actually 3D rendered using Bryce. As the book is quite thin, most of the environment art are printed smaller to fit nine on one page. The art looks great despite the size.

Other than the environment art, there are creature sketches of aliens.

You can get the book at https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/243053689/book-creature-design-book-orig...

I've also previously featured another book from Palma called How to Draw & Design Visionary Futuristic Megacykes: For the Film, TV, Games And Entertainment Industries that you might want to check out.
