In early stages of production for Species (1995), the Burman Studio were assigned to do the film's practical effects. (The Burman's had realized Giger-esque makeups for the Captain EO music video in the 80s)
Thomas R. Burman sculpted a set of maquettes of the Sil monster, but Giger himself was very unimpressed, saying Burman's Sil had a head that looked like a fish.
