The official Art Department blog of MPC has uploaded a bunch of new pieces of artwork from their work on Alien: Covenant. These new pieces by Leandre Lagrange, Stephane Levallois. Valentin Petrov, Ravi Bansal and Mark Tompkins include concept art, storyboards and what look like pre-viz.
The art is focused primarily around Paradise/Planet 4, the Neomorphs and other Alien-related variations with some pieces of the Alien itself included a proto-facehugger based around H.R Giger’s earlier designs and a look at one of the ways that the Alien may secrete its resin!

You can view the rest of the art over at the MPC blog. In addition to MPC’s artists, more of Alien: Covenant’s concept arts, Rob Bliss and Steve Messing, recently shared some of their work from the film to their Instagram accounts.

I wouldn't actually seeing more Sil-like things in the Alien universe.
Lots more new concept art here. Click on the images in the link for the full galleries.
If the next film doesnt include Green Screen Giger sets they will have really just missed the damn mark, at this point.
Love the movie-neomorph especially. Very much like Huante's original concept creature.. but streamlined a bit.

horrible design.
Given the storyline they are aiming at... David hitting the biomech aesthetic right out of the gate would seem to be a bit.. premature?
I like the more fleshy, insectoid Xeno we got.
Biomech stuff will come back in the 3rd prequel... if it ever gets made.
I think it was a bad desicion (on whoever's part) to give us the Alien so soon. That reveal should be kept for the last half of the final film, however many films down the road that would've been. They should've just concentrated on David, the Goo, and his attempts at creation - Pushing us closer to ALIEN.
As much as I love Covenant, I think it would've stood a better chance not having the release date pushed up so much. The post production could've maybe breathed a bit more.
Two or three other things would have been interesting to have seen on screen, though. The multi-limbed creature's head, I really like and would have given the 'space wasp' evolutionary link much more relevance.
The crews in their helmets walking through the Engineer city looks truly amazing. Too bad, they switched suits&helmets to caps, cargo pants and hiking bags!
That looks hideous! Love it.
