Even though it's the same thing that appears in the movie but with two extra pieces glued on that were always meant to be there.
Ugh.
It'd be like me bitching about the WIP suits because they don't have heads.
Sil, its not the same way. The slime, new paintjob and who knows what else covers up the airbrushed work.
You had a good point that most of Giger's paint work isnt visible on the screen, but theyre always visible in the production photos, yet not one of the pics from the production reveals the "decorations" and designs painted on the suit.
The suit was all grey and brown in all the scenes. The alien shows no signs of the airbrushed goods, yet the suit-at-work was very silvery with strong black designs on it. It looked like a 3 dimensional, human shaped painting. Here, I took a screenshot specially for all you where you see the suit as clear as day and the changes as clear as day and theres no lightning or cinematography to pin the fault on. Its a different paintjob that covered up what would be Giger's prominent palette and covering up details.
My point is that they are not the same, they are changed/modified
