Someone somewhere posted a picture of a model he was repainting, I thought it's quite snazzy:





There's one detail I particularly like. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the tip of the tail was quite like this in the movie. I remember it being pointier and slightly crooked, whereas this one has a more phallos-like appearance, which I personally find a lovely touch. Adds a nice layer of perversion to eventual stabbing :-))))))

Mus, You are right about the tailtip. The original one was more like a scorpion sting. Best to be seen in the scene as the tail goes up at Brett´s back.

The picture posted here, shows the great repaint of the Medicom Alien done by our dear Hive member abake with help of his friend Fabio.

Here the link to the thread: http://www.thehiveforum.net/forum/index.php/topic,7673.0.html

If any changes were done to the best, the original, than i wouldn't mind the tail being turned into a more penissey-like look. God i hope they get Giger back for the prequel!

My main problem besides the neck is they didn't bother retouching the forehead, giving them that goofy-as overbite. That skull worked when there was a dome over it, not so much without.

I think the overbite was the worse part of the design. Of course, it all depends on how exactly they're supposed to be being betrayed, but I feel the ridged designs makes it seem more animalistic and dangerous but those teeth...just go against it so much.

Geeze,I can't stop myself from posting these sad comparisons.  :P

ADI tried to make the head more apart of the neck... super fail at it, IMO. It's no longer the long, sausage head, and instead, only the crown/ridges are separated from the neck. Looks bad. Also, gone is the well thought out mechanical look to the flesh (around the head/neck), and in is a bunch of randomness.

but the alien in the latter is a far better design.
Except that's one thing we can go all objective-like on and say, "No, it isn't."

You like it better, sure. But it's not a better design.

odd, I always thought the AvP-R warrior was what you'd get when an Alien bursts from a Hillbilly/Redneck. ah la, the overbite.

I can only pray that the Giger Alien returns to retake its thrown of the most amazing and greatest Alien design.

I know for sure Ridley won't dare use the ADI design. hes a visualist.

Giger won't work for movies any more, although I think he said he might do another Alien movie if Scott asked.

I don't see it happening to be honest.  :-\

Thanks for correcting me, I wasn't entirely sure when I posted.  :)

The only real problem I have with the AvPR design are the proportions and mainly the jaw. The Bros wanted to go back to Cameron's vision, but they failed big time.

Yup. "Inbred" springs to mind.

Mind-f**k as well, but I think that refers to the entire film.
