One of the most striking characters movie history is the Borg Queen (Alex Krige) from Star Trek: First Contact (1996).
John Eaves shared some concept art and storyboards of the Borg Queen that he and Alex Jeager worked on. He also tells a great story behind the work and design. Instead of trying to reproduce the whole story, I'll just tell you to check out his blog at Jeager 'N' Eaves Battle Over the Borg Queen. It really gives an insight into the creative process that multiple design team go through together.

Here are some storyboards of the Borg Queen's dramatic entrance.
Here's the scene as it appears in the film of the Borg Queen's entrance.
