Design The Adult Deacon!

So, 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!

Hi! Here's my take on the adult Deacon. I've always been intrigued by the translucent alien never done in the first movie, nowdays with CG it can be done and I hope in Prometheus 2 we will see some translucent xenos, glowing like abyss creatures.

Hi all, just joined this site to submit :) I want to get way better at drawing, was told to do a lot of tracing but it got me nowhere, thought this was a good opportunity to get some practice in. Im still bad at drawing, but i've only recently been drawing things from my imagination or memory without reference like this one. [img]http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh59/Dessicata/CIMG7370.jpg[/img] [img]http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh59/Dessicata/CIMG7371.jpg[/img] I wanted to keep the smoothish texture of the deacon, and seeing as its a proto-xeno i thought it would be cool if it went into a proto-queen. There are a little nods to the xeno in there, one pair of fingers elongated and fused on each hand, a second pair of arms forming on the chest, the head crest and spines at the back. I also thought it would be cool if the top jaw not only jutted out more, but if the whole skin on the top of the head receeded back even more extremely exposing the fleshy head and canine like snout. If anyones seen the underside of a crab i've tried to add that on the belly of my design, it would fould outward to reveal an egg holding area.

Whoa??? I've been admiring the various visions of the adult size Deacon, but the prize description [i][b]"large scale UK Prometheus Poster!"[/b][/i] just caught my eye. Is this a standard theatrical size poster, or something bigger??? Curiously yours, Capt. David

Here's the mature deacon alien concept of mine. I made him?, her?, it? more animal like, and blew it up to a real monster size. ...and heres the link to the source website in case the image url doesn't work: http://liquid-86.deviantart.com/#/d5gasxp [img]http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/272/7/e/7e2651247748c01b64f083489fe3f9a2-d5gau0z.jpg[/img]

From looking at the design, the tail just seems to be better not being there. I'm just wondering is it maybe just entirely animal-like in bipedal form?

Welcome to our new members and new artists! @[b]liquid86[/b] - That's awesome! Nicely done, would make a great desktop wallpaper! @[b]aram[/b] - Absolutely fantastic! What did you use to create those models? They look great and very creepy! I also like how you have 2 variants, one more Alien-like with a tail and one more humanoid. Very well done! @[b]Rizarc[/b] - Nice! Muscular Deacon, well done with the musculature details there! As usual - some great art! Love coming here. Winners will be announced tmr evening for our first 3 poster giveaways. (Again sorry for the delays, these past couple days I've been moving, so haven't had much time to do up prize packages - my apologies!)

Nice Aram; no tail does look better. It gives the feeling that you're moving in the new direction the film is going. Great job

Pretty cool Aram's design. The tailless version is better, and more correct, because the Deacon hasn't tail. I hope we will see an adult Deacon --what is doing it's job :)--, in the "Paradise". I wonder how it intelligent by the human+Engineer DNA.

I'm not an artist in any way, I just had the day to spare, and found this competition... So, thought I may as well give it a go! However, some of the entries here are VERY good... Good luck to everyone! :D [img]http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/185167_10150921558069229_1482594959_n.jpg[/img] This is probably the best drawing I've ever done haha. I made it by drawing the legs on one sheet of line paper, the torso and tail on another, the arms on another and the head and neck on the final piece... I then scanned all bits in and put them together using GIMP.... Quite proud of it! It's probably hard to notice, but I used The Joker from Batman as inspiration for the head... And I originally drew a human head and worked around that.

This Deacon concept parts from the idea that Deacon is a embrio stage to something completely different. It takes it's configuration from the host's DNA. Since the host is an Engineer, masters of genetic manipulation, the Deacon has used not only the Engineer's DNA, but also the genetically designed space suit a part of it's process of accelerated evolution towards the perfect killing machine. Here is the concept of the first evolutionary iteration of an adult Deacon: FRONT [URL=http://imgur.com/aOoSx][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/aOoSx.jpg[/IMG][/URL] SIDE [URL=http://imgur.com/uD9pB][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/uD9pB.jpg[/IMG][/URL] PERSPECTIVE [URL=http://imgur.com/VHoX1][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/VHoX1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Subsequent creature configurations: No. 1 [URL=http://imgur.com/p94Lw][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/p94Lw.jpg[/IMG][/URL] No. 2 [URL=http://imgur.com/b2x6T][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/b2x6T.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[b]PUNX[/b], You should change your name to "Modern-Day-Giger", that's awesome man! [b]abo[/b], Welcome to the community! Nice art! It's very bio-mechanical, like Giger's drawings as well! Nicely done!

Hanx Chris... it would be insult to both Giger and myself to say that of myself it would mean I no longer have a mark to reach for! I have my own style and (kinda') took Giger's approach to a lot of Prometheus material!

[b]FIRST SET OF WINNERS[/b] It has been a long time coming, the first 3 winners for our 'Design the Adult Deacon Alien' competition have been chosen! The following 3 members are the FIRST of MANY potential winners! So, if you have submitted artwork, you may STILL win a Prometheus poster! These are just the first 3 random winners. Before I congratulate the first winners, I must say the artwork present in this thread is incredible and if I had enough posters I'd mail everyone one. Keep the artwork coming everyone! There's still plenty of chances to win! [b]FIRST 3 WINNERS:[/b] 1. [url=/member/11829]ImaginedOne[/url] [img]http://i.imgur.com/XhqPm.jpg[/img] 2. [url=/member/11765]colewnorton[/url] [img]http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/s720x720/298829_10152074701780599_1794844102_n.jpg[/img] 3. [url=/member/11879]cenobite[/url] [img]http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/248/2/0/prometheus_adult___deacon___by_aopaul-d5dpvmm.jpg[/img] So congrats to these 3 members! Check your PM inbox for a PM from me so I can get mailing addresses! Please note everyone - any and all submissions still have a chance to win! Even if they were submitted prior to this post. This announcement does NOT, in any way void any prior submissions of winning, so keep checking this thread for updates on the next set of winners! Also, to those reading or still considering entering, I encourage you to! If I run out of UK Standard Theatrical Prometheus posters, I can still give away some 12:01 IMAX Prometheus posters! So thank you to those who have submitted and to those who keep contributing! I will probably select the next 3 winners within the next week and a half - 2 weeks to give more artists time to submit their work! Best of luck!
