Voyage of the Dead - Aliens

At last, I'm beginning to upload some of the work I did for Voyage of the Dead, a rail shooter about a zombie outbreak on a cruise ship. This was my first project as a full time concept artist, and I'm still happy with a lot of the work I did on it. The game features three different factions of zombies an enemies. Here are the alien zombies, a fun group to design.

My creative director for the project was Dan Borth.

Finalized basic alien zombie concepts. These differed from other zombies because, instead of destroying the brain, you had to destroy the alien parasite at a random point on their body.

More advanced mutant zombies. I don't recall if these ended up in the game.
