Quote from: MrSpaceJockey on Jun 15, 2012, 03:14:13 AMI think where it goes wrong, is the mouth. I like the inner jaw, but the mouth is too big, and makes it look like a Pteranodon or something. I like the concept art here because it's a much smaller mouth, even with the thinner lower jaw, it ends up looking so much better.
Quote from: Bat Chain Puller on Jun 14, 2012, 06:11:03 AMSo fantastically weird. They must have run out of money and couldn't afford to do these like this ... transparent, painful looking gigantism of the cranium. Judging from the making of book, it looks like they did lean towards these designs for awhile but didn't go with them in favor of Burn Victim Astronaut Contortionist Caveman.
Quote from: nostromo mechanic on Jun 15, 2012, 03:43:49 PMI've always viewed the Xeno's as a rapidly evolving species with each subsequent generation having noticeably different features than the previous generation. That's why it's been referred to as "the perfect organsim". When it takes humans thousands of years to develop features to suit our enviroment, when it can happen to Xeno's in just one or two generations. I believe the Deacon is just an early form of Xeno that will evolve into the one that we know and even continue into who-knows-what eventually.
