Concept artist Ken Barthelmey has shared additional early concept artwork he created for the Xenomorph in Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth series! While his last piece of artwork showed the Xenomorph as more of a crustacean, this alternative style gave the Xenomorph a more muscular tail to aid in climbing. As Ken described:
A few more early concept drawings for ''Alien Earth''. The alien was designed to be an agile climber, hence the more muscular tail.
