I enjoy it too. I actually prefer the design of the CGI render.

Indeed it is elegant.

I finally understand - why I love a fleshy Proto/Xenomorph from Covenant. Because it's very neat and elegant. Like Big Chap, but only fleshy instead biomechanical. Much better than all ADI's fleshy aliens. I love them too, but Covenant's fleshy aliens are just perfect.

The biomechanical styling of some of the Juggernauts such as the derelict suggests the aesthetic had existed but the engineers were yet to execute it with their creatures, David is simply completing their work whilst adding his own psychosexual fevers into the mix.

The design in Alien Covenant absolutely sucked. Head looks like black matte plastic, body is really skinny, and it moved like a complete turd with all that CGI crap except in a few scenes. Pretty much the same sh!t from Alien 3.

The more I read about Alien Covenant, the more I find a similar details between AC and A3.

Some of us really dig the design of the A3 Alien. ;D If you're talking effects, then Alien 3 is nowhere in the same league as Covenant's effects.

David having not yet put the bio-mechanical finishing touches on his Xenomorph creation to evolve it into what we see in the original films is fan theory.
Him creating the Alien is stated in the film (might be wrong, whatever; point is, that's what the film itself says); him reusing or rediscovering designs isn't.

[Breathlessly bursts into the thread, makes some post about the overarching franchise and David being wrong and a bunch of other stuff, vanishes into the night]

There are so many glaring inconsistencies that it makes you wonder if anyone really does look at overarching quality control for the franchise. Or has it gone the way of just doing what seems cool for an individual movie without considering the details of the rest?

Pretty much yeah.

Hey I didn't start this, I said resurrected/created. I didn't say one or the other was correct.

Just let it go before this becomes a canon thread.  :D

David having yet to add the bio-mechanical features is one interpretation of that quote.

You gotta take behind the scenes quotes with a grain of salt, it can always change in the next film.

When was it said that David would add the biomechanical details to the alien? Was that Ridley?

Covenant's Production Designer, Chris Seagers hinted at that:

Quote from: Chris Seagers"The aesthetic choices aren't just superficial, they tie into the larger story. "Technically, we're slightly earlier than the Giger stuff, a little bit," Seagers explained. "We're sort of edging into that. That's part of that whole storyline."

It was during the set visit interviews. It was in Collider's, I think.
