The sculpture is very interesting to me in that it does not overdo the Alien creature "tropes", but accents some not seen since Giger's original. I like the too-long arms, the insectile head, its pose...
...the damned thing just looks, well: so alien...
I completely forgot about that. Thanks for sharing, RidgeTop.
It'd be lovely.
Here's hoping for a bony walled set piece in the cathedral/citadel, that'd be nice.
Ah, yeah forgot to add that. Here's the sculpture I was referring to. Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

I think I'm due a re-read of this one, myself. I don't remember it too greatly.
A fella can dream, can't he?
There are issues with the CGI protomorph, but I doubt they'll matter much when watching the finished film.
I'm not even sure the lack of biomechanical aesthetic matters much any more. It was only really featured in the original. The warriors in Aliens sort of have it, but those suits were in ways simplified for more movement. The queen was not so mechanical and the hive structure was more biological. After that, the creature became more bony and sinuous. Hicks, I don't think you're ever going to get your biomechanical hellworld in an Alien movie. It could be done, but no one seems that interested in doing it. I suppose the closest was what we already got with the inside of the original derelict.
Sorry man, last week decided to throw hectic real life work into the week which put the release of this one back a week too. I'm happy to come on, just give me a good deal of notice!
Sorry for the delay. I had hoped to have this done a week earlier but as I mentioned above, the real world job decided it was going to take that week to be insane and make me just sleep when I got home. Glad you enjoyed it though and that's a really cool suggestion and one I'm going to steal for an episode later on the down the line!
I'm a car listener to.
Thanks for the kind words, everyone. It's very much appreciated.
