QuoteI didnt know today is Alien Day......i kept seeing all these Xenomorph Alien posts and figured ill share in the love for Alien Day as well......attached r designs i had done at Steve Johnson's edgefx around 2001 when we got a call to put in a bid for Alien V Predator.......did these rough ideas back then to help get some ideas off the table for discussion incase it went further....becuase it came and went so fast i only had a few days on this and was so excited to work on these icon creatures i was doing them inbetween actual paying jobs.....the great thing about Steve is he never got angry if i felt passionate about something and then showed him designs before he mentioned anything...it was fun times back then....i re-layed some of these quick design sketches we wanted to try and explore but still keeping faithful to H.R. Gigers designs....Both Alien and Aliens r icon for me as a kid as im sure for allot of creature designers out there...inspired me in many ways as a creature designer........in my humble opinion H.R. Gigers Xenomorph design is still the best and transcends time.......please stay safe.

Artistically I like the original giger hands. The knuckles always looked like little skull designs to me until I saw them really up close.The most effectively used hands on screen would probably be the Winston/warrior hands. That shot in Aliens when the warrior grabs the APC door is well executed. Feels like the alien actually has a solid grip. Also the hand that goes around Hudson's face, evoking the face hugger to come.The extra long digits do give a noodle effect.
