Pratik Choudhury took inspiration from a collectible.
Pratik Choudhury recreated Ellen Ripley from the famous Aliens movie in 3D, using the Ripley Prime 1 Studio collectible as inspiration.
He tried to "match the likeness to the movie version by keeping the continuity and look in mind," and I think he succeeded. The most striking part of the project is Choudhury's attention to detail: he made sure to model her cracked watch, worn boots, and well-used gun, using Maya, Substance 3D Painter, and Unreal Engine.
"Ellen Ripley in her full glory. I remember watching Aliens when I was 10 years old. Seeing Bishop being ripped in two pieces by the Alien Queen was traumatic for me as a little kid."
