Study of Alien

This was for Chuck's storyboard class.

These are supposed to be studies in composition and value. From the list Chuck provided, I picked Ridley Scott's Alien.
I think I spent too much time on these, in terms of detail... I think next time I should simplify more (and especially not try to get likenesses down).

We were kinda supposed to use solid values (4 total), but this seemed a bit harsh-looking to me so I ended up using gradients (4 values total). Now I wonder if this made it look a bit too complicated.

Also, here's a quick floorplan of the scene. Not sure how I accurate I got it...
