MemberFacehuggerMar-19-2012 3:30 AMThe "it's a mask" thread got me looking closely at the xenomorph relief shot

If you look at the very bottom between the legs you will see a form that resembles a facehugger, directly above it you will see the "woman" he described directly bove that the xeno ribcage and head appears. This succinctly depicts the alien life cycle.
The legs double as the walls of the egg for the hugger, and if you have ever seen the deleted scene from Alien, Dallas and Brett don't look like they have had eggs laid in front of them; they appear as if they are becoming eggs, so the walls surround the "host" figure as well. And as the head fades into the background, "queen plates" clearly radiate out from the back

MemberOvomorphMar-19-2012 3:42 AMIt looks like a version of Xenomorph to me. Dome head, rib cage, hips, and tail. I see pair of outstretched hands, crucifix-like. One quick glance, instinct tells me there is what looks like a depiction of wings around the figure and it is likely meant to be a visualization of ugly moth becoming beautiful butterfly. Of course, it is a perversion of transformation. I love the darkness, the intensity of these images. Very gothic. Grausslich!

MemberOvomorphMar-19-2012 4:23 AMMyrddin365..........You've hit the jackpot. My thread was to try to induce the images to see if anyone figured what really that image means. If I could rep you, I would. You're exactly right it is a life cycle. These guys are good at psychology, The angel figure is haunting.

MemberOvomorphMar-19-2012 4:33 AM@Myrddin365.....Yes there is another face on top of the xeno head. Looks devilish looking with what looks like a dark ridge on his head ( man mutating at the beginning of the new trailer at the waterfall?) and horns coming out the side of his head.
I zoomed 200% to look at it.

I sorta see what you're talking about with the legs. I can't see the facehugger though.
Here's a cleaner larger shot of the wall art (1023x575)

MemberOvomorphMar-20-2012 6:14 PMThat's simply a thinner version of a SJ suit. Look at the pictures where there's a dead body on the floor....same legs, same chest, same biomech pattern....it's just something like a statue carved in stone rapresenting an SJ.

MemberOvomorphMar-26-2012 1:03 AMAs I just posted on another related thread, it looks to me like the xenomorph might be bursting from something, sympolizing the process of its birth.
