QuoteOur Hallet dummy for the mouthburster scene. Very old school effect, loads of fun. We pushed a Neomorph baby puppet out of the Hallet dummy mouth with litres of slime and blood for the birthing. A stunt, contortionist was to be used for the scene as well however Ridley was so impressed with actor Nathaniel Dean @nathaniel__dean it wasn't necessary. All shot on location in Milford Sound NZ. Sculpted by Colin Ware @prosthetix , painted by Damian Martin, meched by Thomas Van Koerden and Graham Riddel @grahammcbeyriddell , hair punched by Alice Baueris and puppeteered on set by Conor O'Sullivan , Adam Johansen @adman855 , Colin Ware & Rob Trenton
QuoteI don't hide from you that it's pretty good to get up in the morning to draw these plans... Originally, the wreck of the derelict was broken in two by the center (Ridley Scott made a gesture of my hands and bruitait a Little " Crac " followed by a " right " heard... and it was through that crack that the characters were coming back.
QuoteI wanted to design the walls of the very gigeriens room, with bone shapes... although i know that in terms of decoration, it is much more complex and expensive to produce...
QuoteThe little insect bugs that infestaient the carrion are moving and they're gonna contaminate the smart guy...
QuoteThe virus enters the auditory canal and passes through the tympan. I find interesting the similarity of form between the ear canal and the couloir corridor, the alien vessel... I don't know if it was Scott's. I think so.
QuoteEarly Alien Covenant. I proposed David have stupid chicken aliens that he kept as pets.

QuoteVery early Neomorph Concept Art for Ridley Scott's Alien Covenant
QuoteProtomorph Skull for Ridley Scott's Alien Covenant. This was 3D printed & used in the puppet & suit version of the Creature.
QuoteAlien: Covenant (2017) - MPC MontrealWorking on a Ridley Scott movie was a dream come true!Working in the Environments Department as primarily a digital sculptor, I was tasked with sculpting high resolution surface details on several of the buildings used in the city. I also did a bit vegetation/debris scattering.
QuoteI have fond memories of the legendary Dominic Hailstone whittling away at this digital sculpt right behind me as I sketched my ass off. He was earnestly making sure that the 'Pil Bug' would collapse and expand without the legs getting in the way (as it would naturally). They shot the scene in which it features and now I can't even find it a shot of it on the Blu ray. Such is, the nature of the beast I suppose. Awesome work regardless (as usual).

Quote from: Scorpio on Oct 03, 2017, 09:17:20 AMAlso, an albino alien was originally going to appear in Aliens, was it not?
QuoteHuh. I think I totally forgot to post this with the other Shaw drawings all that time ago (the ones in the "WARNING" Container)! Basically I took two Shaw 'Immaculate Heart" religious/blasphemous studies to completion. In the end I chose the profile version posted previously. While I like the Florentine drapery here with the allusion to Mary's hood/headdress and it's more straight-up like the religious portraits with her heart exposed, in the end I liked the fishbowl helmet doing double duty as a halo and the engineer's spine in place of her own on the profile. And rebreathing stuff. So, y'know, that went in the film! I'd hoped people would get the religious analogy but hey... 😄 Pencil, charcoal, Photoshop
QuoteIt wasn't just adults that David 'explored'. Here's a study of an Engineer child. The inference is, what did he do to get the musculature and then skeleton study? Yeesh! Now I think of it that idea would be clearer if I flipped everything so the progression went left to right. Oh well... Pencil, charcoal, Photoshop.
