Actually my favorite Alien design, or more like Alien posture and body shape design are the Aliens drawn by Killian Plunkett. They're slender, gracile, have really long, fine  but strong limbs and are digitrade just like the Runner/Dragon (A3), but with the torso and head and the silver grayish black biomechanoid carapace of the original Alien (Giger). If you'd ask me that's the ideal Xenomorph design hands down. It looks incredibly dangerous yet very beautiful; it looks very elegant and delicate yet very strong and tough - both at the same time. It it's humanoid without looking humanoid at all.





...Just noticed that Killian's Aliens don't have the same hind-leg foot design as the Runner/Dragon/Dog Alien. I kind of prefer the latter as they are more elegant.

I think if the alien didn't make noise then the game would be impossibly hard.

That's why the motion tracker is there. Anyway, there was a build of the game where he didn't stomp his feet and it looked perfectly playable. Stomping around like he does is such a generic movie monster thing that just killed the tension for me.

Hear, hear. A slimmed down semi-spindly biomechanoid with digitigrade legs is what i'd love to see. It would be a breath of fresh air after so many years of flipper handed fleshy bug raptors.

I wouldn't argue with that. Killian's Aliens are some of the best put into the comics. I definitely hope we get some sort of graceful creature.

I could now confirm some memorable aerial scenes

 Yeah that was an exemplary interpretation of the alien.

Nothing new, the same things that Fassbender said the last time, I can translate for you guys but there is nothing interesting.

2 Q's for you Hicks!

1) Is the painting work that Wayne Haag is doing for digital backdrops? The modern equivalent to matte paintings?

and

2) Is that actually the Xeno design for the movie or where is that from?

[Mr. Clemens]

Is that actually the Xeno design for the movie or where is that from?

Yeah, its hands are pretty funny for a cosplay. Those guys always try to get things as screen-accurate as possible.

Unknown.

Nah, just a silly picture I saw during my rounds. 

Another tweet from Wayne when asked by 8th Passenger (I think?) about the originality in the film.

It's all new, yet familiar.. that's all I can say!

I wonder by the familiarity he mentions if we will be getting that original Alien design that has been seen on the clapper boards?
