On the left I am exploring changing or stripping the gender away from my housemates, I sat in the living room and tried to feminise or masculinise each face.

The above pair where the first sketches that I got a sense of the Alien Androgyne and despite both references coming from fashion magazines (with more hair) these sketches look straight from a sci-fi concept page.

This speed-painting is my original idea which became expanded and developed into my final artefact.
