A few more concept art pieces have been published online. Firstly, there’s a new one on AICN showing the rocky structure and 11 more on fmoviemag.com ranging from the Engineer to the spacesuits.
You can see all the new ones in this thread. Thanks to seeasea for the news.
definitely a WTF moment for me as well when I first saw it! I was thinking is this some Willy Wonka magic or what?
It would have even been a funnier moment had the Engineer been the flute toting dork in place of David!
In brief (and I think this deserves it's own thread) the musical instruments of Prometheus are quite on purpose. The Engineers flute activating the ship and Janek's accordion are parallels to be sure. (Not to mention his selection of "O Come, All Ye Faithful." Which ties into the film quite nicely.
Greek Gods Apollo, and Dionysus, are associated with music and of course ORPHEUS, whose music had the ability to cause inanimate objects to move and influence the forces of Hades.
*wtf
Biomechanical suit.
A living suit.
No. Its definitely a suit.

I like that their pressure suits (to help them endure a 2000 year hibernation) are woven/grafted/implanted/grown right into their own bodies. This Giger concept has been around before he ever touched Alien. Makes me wonder how he was compensated this time around.
Looks like an android.

Fixed: Because

My thoughts exactly. It looks far better than the Jockey design in the film.
I think a lot of the giger inspired stuff concept art is bad fan art actually.
Especially the Steve Messing stuff...
That cgi Engineer by Neville page is ugly.
cgi renders works great for vehicules but i still prefer 2D artwork for concept art.
If there was one thing I really loved about the movie it was the jockey (engineers).
While I think the art is actually good, I agree that he looks meh compared to the final version we got in the film
Some great stuff here.
