Alien: Covenant Concept Art/Behind-the-Scenes Thread *spoilers*

Speaking of queen crest, i still feel like that poster with all the aliens, facehuggers, and engineers was quite misleading.

Yeah, what did we end up getting? A mass engineer death, the engineer temple, two classic xenos, two neomorphs, and two facehuggers?

I meant in the way that there were aliens and facehuggers attacking engineers with queen nods sprinkled in. It led me to believe that the engineers would have some sort of history with the aliens. Maybe even some screen time together in the film. Obviously david creates the alien after the engineers are long dead.

I enjoyed AC for the most part and it wasnt a huge deal. But the poster had my imagination going in a different direction.

Yeah I know what you mean. I expected the same.

I was a part of Conor O'Sullivan's core team from Creatures Inc working on Ridley Scott's alien follow-on from Prometheus. Based at Fox Studios in Sydney, Australia, I worked alongside talented crew members from the UK and Australia, including Odd Studio. I was the primary silicone technician for the Creature Department as well as sculpting, moulding and painting other creature work for the film. I was also involved in prosthetic makeup application for the Engineer sequences both on location in Sydney and in London at Leavesden Studios.

Engineer sequences. That's plural.
And that Engineer looks a lot like one in Khang Le's concept art.

I'm almost convinced they shot more engineer scenes now... there must be more! If only we could see them.

Probably just alternate takes of the bombing scene.

Probably just alternate takes of the bombing scene.

Most likely, yeah. But it's possible there are other scenes involving engineers.

And I wonder what the bombing scene was like initially, since the final version of the scene is almost definitely a lot shorter than it was initially.

[Corporal Hicks]

They shot some in Australia and then some more in the UK during the reshoots.

Found this one in an old folder today. A Re-jig of exisitng HGR art depicting Shaws demise. This was when the order was given to directly reference and even use Gigers work, a directive that changed (back to being exclusivley original art) a few days later.

Ok the others were disturbing but this one is just...come on my man, how much of Giger's work could you have drawn from, Victory I II and III at least. I know this was probably just spitballing, I mean at least I hope it was.

Imagine Daniels flipping through all these deformed creatures and hitting on Shaw getting the end of a cold dildo in an S&M outfit and that's when she asked David "What did you do to her" "Exactly what I'm about to do to you!"

Might have gotten a very different reaction from Daniels!

Hm, isnt he kinda confirming here that the general order is to move away from Gigers art and not towards it?

Not sure if that also (indirectly) confirms that the current look of the Alien is not just a development phase but a simple (final) design choice.
