Best pic of an Alien

The leg structure's definitely bovine. It has the extra joint for the hoof, despite the existence of toes.

[SpaceMarines]

That's what all digitigrade legs look like.

Not really. Dog - after the final prominent leg joint it's just the tippy toes. Cow - last joint is still the toes, but the joint is pronounced and ankle-like, the toe structure greatly extended, and the foot is strengthened to the degree that it's more like a leg bone.

Anyone know the artist for those animal-xeno variations?

Going through my old books I found and scanned this Alien3 gem:

The back cover to 'Dissecting Aliens', Boxtree.

Never seen that before. Was it an early ADI concept? I like the final concept more, as this is simply an interesting--if slightly awkward--modification of the original film's design, but still, very cool.

Funny thing, we've had a month worth of research on that thing. It isn't Giger.
You are probably right. The shoulder area is extremely similar to the final creature.

Looks so damn good.

The proportions are what makes it so cool looking. They're not insanely skinny as the final puppet yet they deffinitely aren't human. It deffinitely looks more alive and solid.

look at the tighs and feet, they appear way more powerful and believable for a speedy creature. The torso is uniformly slim, with the waist continuing seamlessly in the flat and form fitting rib cage up to the shoulders like the Winston aliens did, and it has a smaller back, almost in proportion with the hips, giving it the femenine look, while keeping the thick shoulders like the Giger Alien.

[The Runner]

Gah and the neck is beautiful like the originals, not the giant flesh wart on the neck...damn it ADI....

[ShadowPred]

Gearbox!!! USE THIS AS CANON!!!

[Snowdog]

I like it but i wouldn't trade adi's runner for it. Love that design

Yes.

Its what geegs intended when he was designing for A3. A more streamlined biomechanoid. Feminine and feral. Though I'm glad it was toned down from the original big lips and killing kiss stuff

Spoiler

I liked the finger/knuckle blades though. Like retractable cat claws

[close]

Aliens need to be less monstrously beastly screeching things and more weird silent rapists. I remember the firs time I saw the quick scene in A3 when you think Spike is dry humping that corpse. f**king freaked me out.

Need more of that.
