Is Ron Cobb a good artist who can kind-of design, or is he a good designer who can kind-of draw?

I like how you can see the reference of the ww1 trench tanks, but it's just different enough that it's not a re-skin. very cool.

That image is from "The Book Of Alien", that came out the same time the movie did, I bought it as a junior in high school, and it had a huge influence on me. If you can find it, get a copy. There's something about Cobb's stuff, it looks functional, which is so different from a lot of sci fi art at the time, which were just random dabs of paint - he drew stuff that looked real.
