Mala'kak appearance

Mala'kak Pilot
MemberOvomorphMarch 12, 20124354 Views36 Repliesi have used a 3d grafting program earlier, and i thought " hey...why not graft a 3d model of the corpse-like pilot suit and see what it would look like in the movie Prometheus" so I did, and i was surprised to find out it is exactly like the two pilot statues in that one pic, and the head they are scanning is DEFINITELY a skull, i got the measurements of the original pilot, and that skull is like 6 inches thinner, could not be a helmet, its physically impossible to wear a helmet inside of your head...lol. Thoughts?
Here is a picture of exactly what a standing version would look like:

Cool picure, nice job.
When you say the corpse like pilot suit, do you mean the one from the '79 alien film? I guess I'm a little confused...
Did you take images from alien and prometheus and mix them together?
ALL generalizations are WRONG!

yeah, 79 version, and i just got the alein version (which u can find a 3d model of) and grafted it. and i image matched and that pic looks almost exactly the same to the result I got
March 13, 2012
yup, thats what It compares to
Btw...i did not do that ( that was a fan art commision from some guy)

I watched alien when I was about seven back in 1981! It scared the begeezes out of me... It did however inspire all sorts of interest in alien and Giger art.
I asked about where the 3d rendering images originate from simply because it sounded like you put it together using images from alien and Prometheus. I don't think that actual size of the heads from one movie to the other can be compared. I dought for some reason that when Giger designed the space jockey he intended for it to be a suit of some kind. I suspect he was simply creating a creature. I would bet that it is not until this movie that the writers decided that the SJ as we know it would actually be a suit. So trying to match up sizes prolly doesn't work from then to now. Not to any exact specs anyway..
Entertain this for a sec.. In the trailer when the jockey chair comes out of the floor, you see the blue guy which we assume is an SJ. If you compare his size and height to the chair and then go back to alien and compare the nostromo crew in space suits to the chair, you will clearly notice that either they have changed the dimensions of the chair or the blue guy is much larger than a human.

So who is the big blue humanoid looking guy we see in the trailer as the seat comes out of the floor and do these elephant head aliens and the blue guy coexist?
March 13, 2012
Also, in the trailer, they are using a carbon date scanner, which most only is used to scan boned for age and DNA, and that is probably a mala'kak skull, even though ridley said it is a suit, he has done this thing before where he says something, and when its released there is a twist to what he said, also if youve seen AVP requiem, in the beggining scene, on the ship, when you look at the trophy wall, you see a pilot's skull, although the resemblance is slightly different, i think it may still be a creature of its own, not a suit
March 13, 2012
So the blue guy is just a giant humanoid pilot that we see in the trailer but the engineer is the elephant head alien? In Alien we see the elephant head alien in what I thought was a pilots chair though. Confused
March 13, 2012
Another thing is that do the blue big humaniod guys or pilots wear elephant headed helmets or suits like we see the two suits standing by Rapace in that picture?
March 13, 2012
so there are engineers, and the mala'kaks worship them. the ship is simply a weapon cargo ship that was weaponized by the xenomorphs. they alos dont want to hurt humans, but your practically screwing the pooch when you secretly go on a giant race of aliens ship
March 13, 2012
the humanoids are completely different than space jockies. im pretty sure when we go to theatres to see this they will actually be alien beings, not suits, another reason i think the carbon scanned head is not a helmet is biomechanics make it where it is pure organism, no bone, so there would be no skull like helmet, it would be fleshy
March 13, 2012
ok , it just got real confusing... I will sum the classification up
Blue Eye Human Looking Beings: Engineers
Elephant suit, but most likely its own creature, not a suit: Pilots (Mala'kak)
Mala'kaks worship the engineers as gods, thats why when you see the Prometheus poster, it has that giant head, the Pilots built that as tribute to the engineers.

I hope you're right @Mala'kak Pilot, it would be much better than the Space Jockeys were really bizarre and non-humanoid aliens wearing suits. But I think there is a 90% chance they are costumes. In fact to the same Scott says. If so we can only cross our fingers for a good plot and some really nasty and scary monsters.
btw, my picture is a sculpture of the Species creature I found in internet. I think it's a museum dedicated to H. R. Giger in the city of Gruyères, Fribourg, Switzerland.

I believe that the writers of Prometheus have dismissed the AvP franchise all together. And as for the Giger paintings you spoke of, were they painted before of after his work on the 79 alien? Based on what I've seen, the jockey was termed the jockey when alien was created and Giger created the jockey specifically for the movie. Gigers art is not likely going to be the basis the Prometheus storyline.
However, if what you say turns out to be true, I will not be dissapointed! The higherarchy you speak of sounds very interesting. Do you have any pics or links to share? I would love to read up on it!

Well I need to clarify that I only saw Alien 1 and 2 and never anything related after that. Never saw AvP. Maybe this is why I am not brushed up. If there is any literature to brush up on before the movie comes out so I can overall understand anything, I would appreciate the info links. Thanks
