Best pic of an Alien

[Mus]

Mus, are there other pictures from the same artist? I quite never appreciated the A:R design in that shade...

I believe there were some on funnydoodle.deviantart.com.

I am certain that this has already been posted, but it is still a very good render.

I originally posted that.

Yeah, it's awesome.

It is a nice render, but I don't think it should have been a movie poster because it shows the creature. Better to leave the eventual image to the audience's imagination until it makes its first appearance.

I do like the picture quite a bit, but I do have to agree with Doom. This shouldn't be a poster.

True. This was for the film's 10th anniversary re-release in 1989, and by then, fans already knew what it looked like.

I disagree. Watch any other horror movie or space movie from the 70s and you'll see that the monsters and creatures looked so silly that you cant help but laugh rolling on the floor. After all, the intial version of alien was this



With a poster like that, the audience at least knows that its not gonna be a giant frog or a lizard in a silver suit or a walking eyeball, and thats its something really original and terrifying

So they were already using a combination of orange and blue on posters and such back in 1989.

Yup, but it hadn't become so damn annoying yet.

Bit like how Jeff Goldblum looked in 1987. Only crossed with Eric Stoltz in 1989.

All the more reason to not show it. It's something the audience has never seen before.

Ah, well then.

That's all good and well, but what about the people who hadn't seen it?

They likely knew what it looked like, even after Aliens and all the comics going around.
