Who is the woman in the picture? It's an amazing family likeness... sexy thin lips.

There's been a few new articles this week; here's the last: http://alienseries.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/alien-hierogylphs/

We go to the hospital tomorrow to be induced, so nothing new for a while! Baby, university exams, xmas, the whole shebang!

Didn't consider those things to be pregnant bellies (speaking of which we're due Wednesday - best of luck).  Always thought they were arses.  But bellies works too.

I have a quote where Giger calls them pregnant bellies. I'll dig it up and add it.

Congrats and good luck  I know I'll need it!

Just a note, but in the article about Hicks and Newt and their potential futures, it should be observed that an early (and, presumably, completely different) draft of Joss Whedon's 'Alien Resurrection' script dealt with a cloned version of Newt. Don't know if she would have been a teenager or young adult, but considering the time at which it would have been written, may have served as a template for the superior - and emotionally believable - TV version of Buffy (who, ironically, also turned out to be a long-haired blonde).

The script's never made it to the public domain, but would be interesting to see if it contains any of Buffy's later more memorable/poignant lines.

Possibly not a conscious one, however. I recall that he mentioned being surprised when a fan pointed out to him the obvious similarities between the Betty crew and the one from his much later 'Firefly' TV series.

Also, do you know where to find a larger version of this image from your site? Been searching for ages!

Aye, I know... I don't really deal with that film really, I don't like it at all. I may amend the article to mention Newt's return, though.

Sorry, that's the largest I have!

Just looking at your essay article about the Hieroglyphics. I think that the test footage with a torch light floating around Giger's artwork on the blu-ray must have been what was ultimately shot of the hieroglyphics. I doubt that anything more was done.

I've never seen this... I'd better actually crack through the Bluray.

EDIT: Found it online: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAJAebEWeCc#ws

Yes, we discussed it a few months back in this thread http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=45305.0, and I managed to get Lauzerika through Facebook to confirm his belief that it was the footage, as opposed to a recent shot of someone shining a torch at a poster

Is that a scan from the Ron Cobb artbook?
Possibly it's also on the BluRays? Would be very interested myself.

*edit*
Here ya go!

[Xenomorphine]

Thank you! Always found that picture terribly inspiring!

I guess Cobb made it?

[LarsVader]

I guess Cobb made it?

His signature in the picture is strongly implying that. 

[Xenomorphine]

Yeah, wasn't sure if that was something put on there by a site it was hosted on. Looks more like a logo.

well, we're used to seeing that picture a lot more faded and with the edges trimmed off. The detail in that image is quite stunning comparing to what we usually see.
