While there were mixed reviews of Michael Bay's coming-of-age found-footage time-travel movie Project Almanac some enjoyed it's style. Screen Rant said, "Even though Project Almanac does not reinvent the found footage format, the movie still manages to tell a gripping (and stylish) time travel story." One of the artists that helped bring that film to life was Joshua Min.

Joshua Min is a professional concept\storyboard artist who's worked on Hollywood films like Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014), Hercules (2014) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2  (2014)

Alien Mimics Were Almost More Terrifying in EDGE OF TOMORROW Concept Art by Nuttavut Baiphowongse

Check out Edge of Tomorrow concept art by Nuttavut Baiphowongse!

For the science fiction film Edge of Tomorrow they had the monumental task of designing a new alien. Production designer Oliver Scholl said, "Everybody has their own opinion what a true alien should look like. Starting point was the novel, then things got 'opened up' and we went crazy. One could argue that our final Mimic at least has arms radiating like a seastar, if longer and nastier. Did you know aliens have to have a face? I think we ended up with something unique and memorable after all.Many people and companies contributed their ideas, Steve Burg,  Tani Kunitake, Ed Natividad, to name some. The final design was developed in chevant by Ivan Mazella, rendered and cg-modeled by Kevin Jenkins’ Framestore art group. All in great collaboration with Nick Davis and vfx."

One of the artists that helped contribute was Nuttavut Baiphowongse and he shared his artwork on his DeviantArt page. Baiphowongse is a professional concept artist who's worked on blockbuster films like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014), Noah (2014) and 300: Rise of an Empire (2014).

"I have chance to design Mimics from Edge of tomorrow back in 2011. It's very early designs I did so it turn out in the movie look totally different from the beginning. I really enjoy movie so much fun." - Baiphowongse

But with each battle, Cage becomes able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt).  And, as Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.
