In September 2015, it was announced that Prometheus 2 would be going under the title of Alien: Paradise Lost. This eventually changed to Alien: Covenant but the shift in focus was interesting as Prometheus itself had started life as a direct Alien prequel before spinning off slightly. It would appear the film’s sequel had undergone the opposite change.
Unlike Prometheus’ well documented shift in gear and focus, very little of Covenant’s Prometheus 2 days are known. We’ve had some artwork from Carlos Huante that were labelled Prometheus 2 but information is still sparse.
We recently came across an artist called Khang Le who had a portfolio of work for Alien: Covenant on his website (which has been down for the last few days). Though he doesn’t appear to be credited on the film, we have confirmed that Khang did work in Covenant’s art department back in 2014 and here is the art he previously shared on his website.

Many of these pieces are dated 2014 and would seem to pre-date the shift in Alien: Paradise Lost. There are concepts that seem to show the Engineers more obviously mutating into Alien-like creatures. We’re still trying to find out more about these earlier days of the film’s production so stick with us!
Other concept artists from Alien: Covenant have still been regularly posting new pieces of artwork from their time on Covenant and we’ve been keeping the gallery up to date so be sure to check that out!

Here's a Q&A I did with some of the Engineer actors from the massacre scene.
Interesting read, thanks for posting.
Hope we get to see another orrery at some point. Too bad they use on in Covenant.
That scene in Prometheus is one of my favorites of the prequels.
Thanks for posting this! 5 Stars! * * * * *
This looks much more vaginal from this angle
Noodles.
I suppose it would've been more like cocooning, but hey.
Dane Hallet unboxing his David's Drawings book. Tight.
I second this
Just imagine it tying Ripley to some railroad tracks.

Narcan to reverse all that heroin they're shooting up in between missions, I'm sure
I know I'd need the maximum dose of whatever allowed before I were to get in that tube. I'm not claustrophobic, but I'd still flip.
Pop tarts man.
Best way to get back at a joker in cryo, slip some Narcan in their mid-trip dosage before bed-time. Hooeeey!

The only one I can think of at the top my head is Lope
In the comics, I am sure there was plenty of moustache wearing folks that became hugger victims..
I think we're onto something here
Why do you think they had all that pot aboard the Covenant?
I lol'd, then realised; I can't recall ever seeing a moustache get hugged. Then I lol'd way harder.
Because it was accurate at the time. Neca got the concept art and the look of the suit designs, probably the CGI version didn't exist yet. I don't believe they were even informed about the change in design. That's the danger with trying to get a figure out by the time of a movie release. You only get to see those first designs and knowing how Scott likes to change his mind on the fly, there was never a chance in hell for Neca to see the final version before it was too late. They certainly didn't choose the earlier design on purpose, that's literally the only design they were given. And since they were the only company to release a Neomorph figure when the film released, that's the down side we get. An earlier design, some like it, some don't.
It's obviously àlex brendemühl. We're about to get "the german doctor" in space.
Biggs was right, that figure is never leaving the store shelves.
"Kane"

Why then would NECA use this inferior (And inaccurate) model for a basis?

Personally I find it extremely irritating.
Because this is such a fantastic looking creature that deserved a better representation.
That is certainly interesting. Sort of reminds me of a baby bird with teeth.
I imagine you'd get healthy dose of sedatives first.
Haven't seen anyone mention this before, the real Neomorph.
The muthur interactive called the Engineer Hypersleep chambers sarcophagus, which I think is cool. Links back to the Egyptian aesthetic in Dan O'Bannon's original concept with the Pyramid/Tomb.
The pods in Alien/Aliens/Alien 3/Prometheus are very womb-like and somewhat comforting, these are more industrial and machine-like. A little more claustrophobic/sarcophagus like the pods in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Looks pretty vaginal down there.
If it was translucent it could work but I would prefer as well some of his blueish tones he uses so well on other sketches (though it would probably loose some of its neat details).
