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!

The first question is the Adult Deacon a sterile female drone or an egg laying queen?
Another question is are the Aliens all female like a bee or ant colony where they is a male born of the female but dies after mating? Or is there only two types of females? A sterile worker/soldier female and self inseminating female queen?

Here's an idea that would be fun and profitable to set up.
I have seen alot of interesting Deacon designs. Designs that will most likely never make it into a movie. But what they lack in movie substance can be created in reality for the Deacon lover.
There is a process called 3D Printing. Basically any 3D model can be made into an object using the 3D Printer that then builds the object into a plastic model.
If the Deacon designs listed here are rendered in a 3D program where the pieces of the body would include the chest, torso, thighs, legs, feet, head, neck, upper arm, forearm, hands and tail with smaller accessories for the back, chest, arms, legs and tail that could be made into a Mr. Potatoe Head type figure then the various Deacon designs listed here could be made into plastic models using 3D Printing. Each Deacon kit would be interchangeable with the other Deacon kits. The only real problem would be determining the size of the nub and nub hole so that each piece would be able to fit properly with other kit pieces.
These kits could come already painted or able to be painted by the Deacon Master now turned Engineer.
What a cool little franchise to build.

How, I wonder, how you behave or....think?...., Deacon, when you are the only one of your kind?
Of have you some horrific characteristic survival trick about you?
Savage mitosis?
aetony27October 16, 2012
Here is my design. I assume the the deacon would have a more human(engineer) musculature. [IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h252/aetony/IMG_08911-2.jpg[/IMG]

Kinda ameteur work I know but I'm 17 studying for my A-Levels so I don't get that much time to draw (I don't take art). The claws on its hands are supposed to be retractable to the inner forearm, and yes those are fingernails (due to the 'human' DNA, thought ittd be cool to add) I didn't spend as much time as I could have, and avoided shading as not to obscure detail. Done with a HB pencil on A4. Oh and the little thing at the end of the tail is supposed to be some sorta egg sac.

I wish it was the closest thing to Deacon original Alien, which had no great differences between different types of xenomorfs[img]http://behance.vo.llnwd.net/profiles7/1158291/projects/5352339/63aa9eaabfa224e7a7188f6b0cbbcb7d.jpg[/img]

Totally love arams work o.0 Here's another work i did for the contest, more in "human form": [url=http://postimage.org/image/v97lbc80h/full/]

The contest said that it wanted something "new". Here is the skeletal remains of a Xeno Cat that was discovered on LV-426.

Uploaded with [URL=http://imageshack.us]ImageShack.us[/URL]
From what we can guess the Xeno Cat is a nurse type of Xeno that is used to move Worm Cans and Eggs around from one place to another as well as defending the innermost lairs of the nest.
The Xeno Cat did not have any skin layer like the normal Xeno possibly meaning that it has a fleshy covering more along the lines of a human or Engineer that would decay over time leaving the skeleton behind.
The cat head was placed on the Xeno's body for image rendering only. All specimens that were encountered did not have a head.
Feel free to add covering textures and heads of your choice to this specimen so that we can get a general overall sense of what it might have looked like. My team is far to busy with other Xeno "issues" to necessitate funding or time to this project.

Brilliant, Brav!!! Maybe, that Deacon, has the horrifying ability to communicate it's nature through symbols. I like it!!!!
navsonOctober 27, 2012
Hello everyone , I am a long time lurker of the sight. I thought this contest was so awesome that I just had to post an Image. From the size of the baby deacon, I think it would be a hulking beast. Bulky like the engineers. [img][IMG]http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p9/navson/digital%20paintings/Untitled-2.jpg[/IMG][/img]


ChrisOctober 27, 2012

This is in response to Dryson's Xeno cat discovery. From the remains you discovered I was able to piece this together tell me what you think.

I believe the deacon is something we haven't seen before. The Deacon Alien is a combination of Xenomorph and human characteristics.

when is the deadline? if there is one :P
and is this region free?
a lot of good work here, i hope i can enter in the upcoming weeks.

Thats pretty close to what I was thinking the Xeno Cat would look like. There are however four of five larger vertebrae along the spinal column that would indictate that the Xeno Cat had some type of spikes in the form of bone coming from its back. Perhaps the spinal column bone structure was a base for a muscle mass that included tendrils that would wrap around the Xeno Cats stomach where the worm cans could be carried that would allow more worm cans to carried in hand.

My NECROMORPH or DEACON. It's a bit like the original alien in form, but it's more natural, less bio-mechanical. It has stigmata lol.
*Picture removed*
The poster was good though!

I created the above painting using GIMP. It is alot like photoshop, it as the same features,tools.It is also FREE! Here's the link to download it, for anyone who's interested in creating digital art but can't afford photoshop.
