My muse...even more fair without color Ati. Thank you.
That owl is crazy. Thank you.
You are most welcome drucea.
Dallas brushes off (figuratively) the clean looking "portable" transmitter as dust free due to the electrostatic nature of the machine.
I agree airshaft_surprise. Foster, Fox, and Scott seemed to be on the same page for the whole of the novel short the Space Jockey reveal in the text.
I can imagine that the German helmets above might be uncomfortable in the heat but I remembered that the weather in norther Europe has always tended toward cooler temperatures. So, we can take comfort in the fact that the armor above used in the horrors of war in the 1500s helped carried out the atrocities in most likely more pleasant, cooler temperatures.
Excellent comparison to the Space Jockey helmet Dark Nebula. I love the metal mustache.
wow i like it, very organic and slimy
I can't believe how relative to Covenant's aesthetics, as well as Prometheus the Le artwork is. I saw remnants of Fifield in the mutation, Prometheus in the orrery (jaw dropping amazing), and Alien: Covenant concept art such as Hatton's tumor garden (above compared to below).
Can someone please perform a guitar solo in appreciation from me to Dark Nebula for these?
Thank you Dark Nebula.
Incredible was the correct term to describe this Ati.
Thank you.
I'd start A:C 2 with Peter Weyland beating David with a cricket bat(flashback). Armed guards surrounding them, just in case something goes wrong. This would test David and his/it's ability to let humans do what they will. Have Peter drop his cricket bat(or baseball bat)near David, daring him to pick it up and use it on him.

moongirl. when im talking about canon im meaning in the sense of did we see something that is going to be forgotten and become irrelevant. for example the weyland files and specifically the part about the company knowing of a signal on lv426 which may yet become irrelevant. we may yet see David being responsible for the derelict and in fact there isn't anything on lv426 prior to the derelict landing/ crashing. we also get lots of things within what is perceived as canon material contradicting other material platforms such as the novels that accompany the movie. for example in the alien novel Dallas finds empty urns next to the SJ and yet in the movie, we don't see anything to even suggest Dallas finds anything yet the novel can be considered canon.
canon is very much open to debate and can go on for ever. for me canon is what we see in the movie IF the movie is the first source of material in the franchise, as not all the people who watch the film read the novel so they don't know about any of the differences between the 2. but given that franchises such as the marvel and DC universes used comics to first introduce characters it can be argued that the movies arnt canon as much of these films differ from the comics as far as character arc's go. iv even heard that the mural in Prometheus doesn't mean anything other than paying homage to Giger and his work.
I Moon Girl A bit OT, but with all due respect, the canon debate heated up last winter and it was pretty much decided that canon can be individually determined. For instance, some consider only movies canon while others include novelizations and video games- others only consider the first Alien movie canon.
You have to begin with the notion that David is mad and delusional and believes his "plan" is both just and infallible.
Advent sets up several important investments.
David reveals himself and the "radical A I" of the pathogen to W- Y. One can only conclude he is baiting Weyland Yutani believing their arrival will aid his plan of retribution and or improvement.
The reference to the Queen and that it will change everything is important and suggests he is trying to evolve his creation into a self generating species capable of rapid reproduction. It may play into the events of the Space Jockey and Ridley could tweak the meaning of what we see in A L I E N and something he has referred to in the past the cargo "gets out" whilst on board and contaminates the Jockey. This could be the Queen and her spores taking revenge on David. Radical A.I. meets mad A.I.
I suspect W-Y will come to a planet which is further down the road in the story and find out its truth. The twist maybe the Engineers arriving with Walter with a Juggernaut. W-Y want the radical A I David is the mad A I and the Engineers bring another A I with them. The emphasis then is how A I behaves and interacts with each other with the Queen and her spores being the weapon. This would explain Ridleys recent view that the fascinating elements are the A I not the beast.
my favorite xenomorph in the cannon timeline. it looks so horrificly beutiful
these are amazing! upvoted.
hopfully we see some things closer to this in awakening
Look closely at the pic above. It could be a very early version of below.
Holy crap these are friggin unreal! Agreed with MU/TH/UR hire this artist stat!!!
You can't just decide what is canon and what is not. "Advent" was released by Fox and Ridley. As of right now, it's canon.
In addition to that, if we also decided on what is canon based on if things made sense, then Alien3 is not canon. That would also mean that Alien: Resurrection is not canon either.
Both are good movies and I don't know how they could ever not be canon. Even if Alien5 by Blomkamp was made, Alien3 and A:R would still be considered canon in an alternate universe kind of thing, just like how Alien5 would be.
As far as I know, it is canon whether we like it or not and because of "Advent" being canon, I changed my mind on the idea that David's Covenant is going to Origae-6. I just don't think that is where the prequels are going now. Of course, that is just my idea. Everybody's got 'em!
drucea Those bones may have been from a different victim. The area you circled could have been a humerus from a mid sized Engineer?
Critters5 said, "I think the main question is how is he going to get thousands of people to become eggs without everyone knowing what's going on in the process?!"
He could do something similar to what the scientists were doing in Alien: Resurrection when they were trying to breed Xenomorph's.
Thats what blew me away when i first saw alien back in 1979, i read the novel first and when i saw the SJ up on the big screen it blew my 14 year old mind! Regarding the novel not being canon, it is canon, the novel has 20th Cent.Fox brandmark on the top of the cover so it was written by foster under sanction by fox as a film/tie-in.
OMG this guy completely captured my vision for Covenant. GIVE THIS MAN CONTROL OF THE FRANCHISE DAMMIT!!
Also tip of the hat to you Dark Nebula
Those all look great. I think these look better than the neomorph in the film too.
Thanks Dark Nebula.
Definitely my favourite design, a quadrupedal Xenomorph design was a masterstroke and just looks so sleek!
As much I love the original I just cant help but admire the Runner more.
Best Xenomorph next to the original!
That was a great dog and it must have taken a long time training it to tolerate the suit. I think they scrapped the idea when the test footage looked too much like........well, a dog.
It may have left a doot at 2:46.
Thanks for posting these, and bolding the part about the distress signal beacon looking brand new. Like they just assumed that the signal was old since the ship looked old. Leads me to believe, if canon, that someone (David) could have planted the eggs on the ship with the distress signal beacon thing. But that wouldn't explain how the space jockey had his chest burst open unless he was involved with the eggs prior to his death.
I still wonder what all the stuff under Shaw's head was. Unless it's all of the intestines and organs that were removed, it would have to come from some sort of growth or mutation. The circled bone by her head definitely resembles a large femur or other long bone...and Shaw didn't seem to be cut up around her legs or arms.
