The flood of Alien: Covenant concept art continues. Alien: Covenant concept artist Colin Shulver has just shared some his conceptual pieces to his ArtStation account.
The renderings show the encapsulated embryos of a facehugger, infant xenomorph (do we still call it a chestburster?), and human. It was previously reported that a test screening of Alien: Covenant featured the chestburser during the scene, rather than the facehugger that was ultimately used.
The artwork includes the final designs for the Xenomorph and Neomorph creatues, but also gives us a look at an earlier Neomorph design, something that seems to be a more natural transition from the Deacon to the Alien. One of the pieces appears to be inspired by the “Sil” character from the film Species.
Finally, there are renderings of android internal structure as seen in the “Meet Walter” viral short.
Make sure you head on over to his account for more! Don’t forget to visit our Alien: Covenant gallery for even more behind-the-scenes imagery from the film!

I've also been keeping the concept art gallery up to date so keep checking that out! http://www.avpgalaxy.net/gallery/index.php?cat=47
This is the ONLY shot i can get from the madam tussauds video, and imo it looks way better than the practical suit. Its a shame that odd creatures didn't get the finalized design
I was leaning towards the "it would've been unintentionally funny" angle...
and then i remembered that there's a moment in
It Follows where the lead character glimpses the "creature" forcing itself upon the corpse of a friend.
And it's horrifying and uncomfortable...
There's also a similarly uncomfortable scene in Possession (starring Sam Neill).
Bottom line - The effectiveness of the "cocoon" idea depends on the writing, filmmaking, etc...
But i actually think it could be used "well"... there IS precedent.
I wouldnt trust Ridley with it, though.
Maybe David Robert Mitchell.
Thanks for sharing, Nick!
man....the day we get a great alien movie is the day they a new franchise of something else.
That's interesting, I did find the decision to use facehuggers in the final edit a bit strange.
