MemberPraetorianJanuary 24, 2018I have found some interesting comments made by concept artist Matt Hatton on his Instagram page last December:
Hatton: 'She (Rapace) had to approve the later drawings. As I say these are earlier/rejected roughs that never got that far. I guess she did need to see the final sculpture though. I think MF was more freaked out...'
------------------------------------------------------------------
Hatton: 'We were initially told that they should be 'nasty', and indeed it was an r-rated horror film!'
I think this drawing shared by Hatton is very similar to the artwork created by Khang Le for the movie:
---------------------------------------------------------
Hatton: '...an explanation of how it sees thermally a bit like a snake. Which I thought both explained the seeming lack of eyes and would be a nice twist on why it hates fire (not being burned so much as being blinded by the heat).'
---------------------------------------------------------
Hatton: 'Trying to get that Giger aesthetic in everywhere I could, even if it was subtle.'
---------------------------------------------------------
Hatton: 'More of David 'improving' what was started by the Engineers...'
