Hi everyone!
I am a bit late to this challenge but I have been very busy with work and life you know ;) I did not want to commit until I was sure I had enough time to complete the challenge. I mean a week is not much time but I will do my best. I started off gathering some reference images of existing structure with interesting alien like shapes.
In addition I found a link with some helpful reference images for anyone whose still looking :)

Early on the week I did some thumbnail sketches with pen exploring the idea and composition

I did outdoor life studies over the weekend prior to the launch of this thread. The study was mainly aim towards life and how it feels to have infrastructure and housing.
