Following on from Constantine Sekeris’ artwork of Predator monkey hybrids yesterday, another of The Predator’s concept artists – Ben Mauro – has shared some of his own work done for early concepts of Predator hybrids.
Some Predator exploration back in 2016, always fun to explore different ideas early on in a project. These were an evolution of some early ideas Constantine Sekeris explored on the project that I was asked to take a crack at.
Other artists who worked on the hybrid creatures include Bryan Wynia, Ken Barthelmey and the team at ADI. We’ll be on the lookout for more Predator hybrid artwork from them!
Ben Mauro also worked on the Predator Dogs, coming into the design of that particular creature later and being tasked with working out the colour pallet.
I originally worked on the project to design a lot of new alien ideas, the Predator Dog was the last task I worked on. Bryan Wynia and the ADI guys had already done most of the development on the design and I was asked to figure out color/skin patterns/dredds and some refinement/exploration in a few different directions. I wasn’t given the model the other guys made at the time so this was sculpted from a sphere in Zbrush based on the earlier work Bryan/ADI had done.

to what we received,
it's shameful or Shane-ful, if you like.
Ditto. As far as their other roles in the movie, I think they did really well with the material they had. I’m glad Brian got a chance to be a Predator, and I honestly hope he can get another shot in the future. His Fugitive was great
They definitely nailed the movements/walk down. I wish we had gotten to see them on screen (and in more "predator" armor and not that US Army look).
Cool!Looking forward as well.
Agreed,P2 Elder is my big time favorite,nothing beats the legacy though I'm kinda thought they are creative thinking.
Just not so much for the pants idea.
I haven't seen the full length supplementals online yet. The blu-ray is coming out here in the U.S. this Tuesday, so I'm looking forward to checking them out.
The adventures of Crab-Man!

Somewhere I saw,should be the DVD behind scene ??
Wondering is a full length video been shared?
Yes, conceptually I love Wolf too! That's why his Sideshow bust is my avatar.
Wow. I don't know what Predator books and behind the scenes documentaries you have seen, but I have watched more repeatedly than I care to admit, and I have not seen any of Winston's designs look "ropey" i.e. meaning poor quality, nor required them to be "properly lit" to look good.
Yet, I've seen Predators in AVP and AVPR Unrated look ropey not only in the docs, but in the actual movies! Wow, I can't believe you just said that.

They're very good at what they do. Unfortunately they often get asked to do stupid things.
Actually, Shane is the reason why the Fugitive looked so good. I believe Alec revealed in the recent AVPG Podcast that Shane wanted the Fugitive to be designed with the look of the original Predator. And that's this bad boy.
I think i would have prefered full on abomination predator slightly more then the 12 foot ogre predator that we got.
Well, looks like we got em' beat boys. Maybe they want Human DNA for other reasons too.
Haha
Huh... Well I'll be. I've never seen that image before! Fascinating.
Indeed.
If we ever dedicate a thread to this topic, now we know exactly what to name it!
Seriously? Not that I would know, but that seems like it’d be incredibly uncomfortable. Beats holding it all in for an entire day I suppose.
Previous “imaginings” of Predator ding dong. Looks to be like some cross between internal and external organs.

Lol sure looks like it's a predator-dude
Umm, that dangling thing. What am I looking at exactly?

Movie, though saying that it’s on pare with the pointless predator dogs
Frankly, with the way Hollywood is structured right now I dont think we were ever going to get a good Predator movie. Hollywood has obsessed with detached ironic smarm ever since the MCU decided detached ironic smarm was all the characterization they were ever going to need and turned it up to 11 but that approach was never going to work here. I know "Predator is actually a screwball comedy" is currently Avpgalaxy's newest meme, but it's a bad meme, you should feel bad for believing it and this Shane Black movie proves that goofy comedy Predator doesnt work. The first Predator had one liners but it was also very earnest about its central premise.
Honestly, I'm a little disappointed; if the movie was going to be stupid either way, I'd have preferred it go full-on Jupiter Ascending-level stupid rather than just boringly by-the-numbers stupid.
