Best pic of an Alien

And THIS is why practical effects will always be better! Such beauty that still doesn't fail to convince.

Very nice artwork. I find the drawing to be quite surreal and dreamlike, and it is all to fitting.  Both subjects are done incredibly well. I especially love how Rip is done in the style of Alien.

Her blank eyes are creeping me out, but that's a really great piece right there.

And it could be a coincidence, but the two circles behind the burster and Ripley make me think of the twin suns of Fiorina.

That's great work.

Once he stands up and starts walking like a human, we'll see how convincing it is...

[SiL]

Not that a CGI Alien walking like a human would be any more convincing.

[SM]

Quite.

My point is, there's a teensy bit more to it than the workmanship in the suit (or model).

[SiL]

Oh goodness yes.

And we just have to look at AvPR to see how to fail on both counts.

[SM]

Must we? 

[SiL]

For the greater good, SM.

For the greater good

[TheMonolith]

This is very true.
You get a bad actor in a great suit, it will be wrecked no matter how well made the suit is.

I'm wondering if Bolaji was anorexic

[SM]

Nah I think he's just built that way.

[DoomRulz]

I'm detecting sarcasm, but even still. Being that thin can't possibly healthy...

[SM]

No sarcasm.

Some people ARE just built that way.  However, not knowing his ultimate fate, maybe he was unhealthy.

[PsyKore]

Yeah, some tall people are built like that. It's nothing wrong or abnormal. It can also be a faster metabolism that can keep some people thin; sometimes you see tall people that can eat truckloads of food and not gain weight.

I don't know a lot about Bolaji, but I expect he was like that.
