Best pic of an Alien

[SiL]

Work in progress, maybe.

True, but look at the muscle tone it has, don't realy think Giger had that in mind.

[SiL]

It's not like Giger never drew muscles.

[Prison_Mike]

True, but it just seems too muscular to, be, you are probably right, just had the ADI feel to it.

[Mus]

I think that was one of the early ones, which he then decided looked too beastly.

[samoht]

WOW.

I'm loving these Alien costumes. Thanks for posting them fella's.

That's not the original head is it? Coz the costume was sold at an auction a year or two ago.

[SiL]

They had more than one head.

Presumably that's the fully mechanical one, not the one that was worn by someone.

They had more than one costume, Doom. Not only do you have Badejo's suit, but ones for the stuntment as well. Different heads were built, one animatronic head by Rambaldi, another by David Watling [which was never used], and a stand-in head. Here's Giger painting a couple of the suits:



More of that old animatronic head:

I thought it was ADI based on the fact there is nothing biomechanical about it at all.

It's Giger's, just a quick little maquette. You can see it in his office/house in docs.

I don't know this but does anybody notice the "penis" like protrusion in the midsection? Always bothered me that nobody really picked it up, from what I've read on various fansites.

[Sharp Sticks]

It's Giger: if something is not a penis, it's something worse.

[chupacabras acheronsis]

I always thought the whole belly area was like a Vagina through a Kaleidoscope, at least how i draw it.  that tube though, that one comes from the neck.

[Prison_Mike]

Theres the scrotum and the penis right there. I know dick when I see it.

[StrangeShape]

Yup, there it is. Theres also a loose vagina where, well, vagina usually is

[Prison_Mike]

I always thought the body almost looked like a ribbed penis of some sort, but, again, it's Giger.
