AdminEngineerAug-26-2012 12:34 AMSo, with Prometheus passed and the DvD and BluRay coming up for release, we here at Scified.com want to engage the artistic fans here and across the globe. We want you to design and post your own version of what you think the adult Deacon Alien will look like or could look like in Prometheus 2. To make this even more engaging, the most detailed and interesting design artists will win a Prometheus poster! We can allow up to 3 winners to start, but if more submit their works, we can always increase that number so that more artists win and get something for their hard work!
How can we tell if it's genuine? We ask that somewhere on the piece of art you add your site display name here on Scified.com, small in the corner, or under your signature if you so choose to do so. There are already a lot of artist renditions of the Deacon on the internet, but what we are looking for are NEW artwork pieces. So post yours here! It can be any kind of art, from digital to paint. Just post it as a reply to this thread and each day I'll check in and see the artwork! After about 3-4 weeks I'll announce the first batch of winners. I realize creating truly immense works of art takes a lot of time. The contest will remain open until our supply of poster giveaways diminishes. So, anyone can win and show off your talent at the same time! So start your work today share with us your vision of the adult Deacon! Get creative!

MemberOvomorphAug-27-2012 10:13 PMthanks chris :) after i actually was going to do a much more masculine creature after im done with the queen.
its going to have much more space jockey DNA.
i also envisioned a "king alien" but i would have made a large retractable breeding appendage similar to the tube coming out of a facehugger's or the trillobite's mouth except in the lower reproductive region... i figured that would be a bit too adultly graphic for the site.

MemberOvomorphAug-28-2012 4:16 AMOf course as a staff member, i automatically disqualify myself from really being in this contest, but i really wanted to do something cause it sounded like so much fun, so here's a little something i was working on yesterday, started as a pencil sketch and then used Photoshop to take it further:

MemberOvomorphAug-28-2012 4:56 AMoooooo dark, that reminds me of "the maxx" comic /cartoon in a great way, like one of those creepy "black Isz" things.

MemberNeomorphAug-28-2012 12:01 PMI drew this using just a 6B pencil. The actual image is terrible because i've only got access to the laptops cam. I should be getting my digital camera back soon, it is currently being fixed, so when i do, i will take another picture of it and post it again. For the time being, if you can zoom in on it or enlarge the page, you should be able to see more detail. BTW, the dark area above the jaw is not an eye. It is the recess in the jaw area.

The poster was good though!

MemberOvomorphAug-28-2012 12:18 PM@necro I like that. I also see the developed deacon with same head. Just to take the design away from original xeno. Nice one. I see like me you are also using darker pencil, and it worked out really nice. :)

MemberNeomorphAug-28-2012 12:28 PMThanx Sky. I will be posting it again when i get my camera fixed, the image should be alot clearer. I've always prefered using pencil to paint, i think it gives the picture a darker, spookier feel. Plus i'm colour blind so it would probably turn out pink lol
The poster was good though!

MemberOvomorphAug-28-2012 12:39 PMnice!!! you have a very nice smooth texture, i use pencils myself and i cant get anything near that without smudging with my finger and still doesn't look that nice and soft.
any special technique or pressure you care to share? ^_^
**edit**
color blind!!?? i am legally blind without glasses and still very poor eyesight with them. so far it looks like many of us artists cant see for crap, and that makes no sense lol.
why do people who cant see use a visual medium of expression, any psychologists in the house? :)

MemberNeomorphAug-28-2012 12:52 PMThanx Bella. Yeah, i rub 'gentley' (that sounds rude! lol). and sometimes i brake a little bit of the eraser off and erase little areas of where i've shaded to show where the light is hitting that particuler area.
The poster was good though!
belladonna
MemberOvomorphAug-28-2012 1:21 PMaaahhhh! i rub pretty hard (also sounds rude lol). i never thought of erasing reflection areas!!!
i normally draw a pale outline for light reflections and just dont color them in, but it does lead to shading/color inconsistency and poor texture because i am trying to avoid that area.
thanks for educating me on a new technique!
love the smooth seamless look, appears very 3-D to me.

AdminEngineerAug-28-2012 1:29 PMWow! Awsome work guys!
@[b]AYillustrations[/b] - Very detailed and nice, but very classic ALIEN. Still, an amazing piece of work!
@[b]Shawluv:D[/b] - WOW! Really well done dude! What did you use to make that? (And staff are not excluded form this contest, only I am! Haha)
@[b]necronom 4[/b] - That's really good! Damn! I can't wait to see the finished product! You've got a great start there, I really like how it's a soft shaded sketch, yet a lot of details are still visible. Fantastic job!
These are great! It's gonna be really difficult to choose winners! Keep them coming guys!
Oh, and there are [b]NO[/b] limits to the number of submissions you can make. You can draw 6 Deacons and submit them all! Really enjoying this thread! :)

MemberOvomorphAug-28-2012 1:36 PMhey CHRIS... so is the king idea i had with the penile appendage too graphic?
no problem if so, i will still do the majority engineer DNA version instead ^_^

AdminEngineerAug-28-2012 1:47 PMHaha well if you think it would be too graphic then maybe refrain from it. But a lot of Giger's works were sexually suggestive, and we allow those. But it's up to you as the artist. ;)

MemberOvomorphAug-28-2012 1:56 PMnice! i was wondering since as you stated, gigers work is extremely sexually suggestive which has been pointed out many many times.
the "appendage" would be more of a tentacle or the "tube" a face hugger extends, and (pardon my phrasing) but the "tip" was going to be spear shaped and less phallic.
i was wondering if i could link the drawing with a warning instead of posting it?

MemberOvomorphAug-28-2012 2:58 PM@Necronom 4 - Great pic!! Shading is spot on. Looks awesome!! :)
I may work for the company, but im really an OK guy.

MemberNeomorphAug-28-2012 3:26 PMThanx Gen. It took me quite a long time, about 2 hours. For the lower part of the skull (jaw area), i drew from a picture of a real human jaw. For the rib cage, i drew from pictures of real human ribs. The head, or cranium area, i made up. Glad you like it!
The poster was good though!

MemberOvomorphAug-29-2012 4:28 AM>> Daaaaammmm....Leeta, Sky, AYIllustrations!! Nice! Nice! Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) : ) : )
Thank you. ^_^ Everyone else has posted such great pictures too.
>>color blind!!?? i am legally blind without glasses and still very poor eyesight with them. so far it looks like many of us artists cant see for crap, and that makes no sense lol.
why do people who cant see use a visual medium of expression, any psychologists in the house?
I also have bad eye sight. I use contacts and glasses otherwise I can't see anything more than a foot away from me.
@Necromon4: Very cool!
@Ayilustrations: Very impressive. I love the detail work you put into it. Awesome!
@Chris: Thanks so much. It's completely digital and I made it using Photoshop.

MemberNeomorphAug-29-2012 5:51 PM@INCURSO. That is Fantastic! Like a cross between the original Alien and the Deacon.
Did you use a 2B? and what did you use to capture the picture? Scanner, digital camera?
Welcome to the site!
The poster was good though!
