They're skilled illustrators, but their ideas just aren't too good. These all look like throwaway monsters for a Resident Evil Revelations sequel. They took the deep sea look of "Beluga" Prometheus concept art and ran with it, and it completely lost touch with the DNA of Alien. The Neomorph they ultimately went with in Covenant was the best, and the one that changed the least from the original art.
>Unlike other Xenomorphs, which are encased in rigid, black exoskeletons, the Beluga-Xenomorph is described as being ivory white and boneless, the latter of which allows it to alter its body shape and become a gelatinous, amorphous blob, allowing it to squeeze through gaps that would otherwise be too small for it.[2] Its skin is vaguely translucent, and at the front of its elongated skull, a human-like skull can be seen beneath. It has long, spindly limbs, and jaws that can lever forwards out of its mouth (a trait given to the Deacon in Prometheus).[2]
Shit sounded creepy, it's almost a shame they didn't go with it in Prometheus.

Carlos Huante is one of the most generic concept artists I've seen, goddamn. I was watching one of his tutorial videos and that was the usual "monster with big shoulders + dog legs + insect claws" you've seen 1000 times, and these all look as uninspired. The movie monsters managed to look good despite though

The market for artists is too saturated. Back in the day, these people were doing it for their enjoyment or just scraping by doing the cover art for throwaway fantasy novels. No one became an artist because they thought it could be lucrative. Nowadays, you have millions of these kids dedicating their lives to it, outright anticipating careers in film and video games. From the Anglosphere, from Russian, from Brazil, whatever, they're all battling it out online for notability on sites like Deviant Art. It's too damn hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. You can go through a hundred of samey portfolios and not find a single stand-out artist, you're not gonna find the Gigers anymore who have a twisted and unique imagination. 10% of artists are probably tryhards consciously trying to BE "a Giger" because they think it'll get them noticed.

I agree. The macho, masculine shoulders of Nacho's designs pale in comparison to the erotic, psycho-sexual designs of giger, which are a greater more disturbing and interesting. I can't stop thinking about the shitty monster design that have become fashionable, the chad-monster's are fucking everywhere now.

All this shit looks boring. Typical video game fair.

This is how he should have been infected. Microscopic spores that can infect you through the skin is a little OP, considering that the Neomorph is supposed to be the "less evolved" alien.

>>83074748
>>83074785
spores obviously. like a type of fungi
probably plants infected with the black goo (this is concept art of pre-prometheus)
or since the planet in prometheus was an "outpost" those plants are weapons. who knows

Alien is deader than disco. Xenomorphs are stale and far from scary. Every movie and comic in the franchise is repetitive to a degree that makes capeshit look daring and risk-prone.

>>83072676
his unconscious mind.

>>83070807
because none the kids that are drawing nowadays have even touched a single book of art, or know any art history. all their aesthetic references come from video games, so they repeat the tropes ad nauseum. id love if there would come a Bosch inspired artist, or Francis Bacon inspired monsters, but no, their artistic awareness is limited to the last 10 years only.

>>83061169

Geigers they are not.

It was kind of nice they had some of David's drawing being what appeared to be real Geiger ones.

>>83077560
thats what it is retard

I would of at least liked more diversity before the xenomorph, or no have xenomorph.

>>83070807
Feng zhu talked about it a bit on one of his youtube vidoes, the concept artists present their work based on the ideas of the writers/directors/producers/the guys who are paying them, and they make multiple versions, some more original and crazy and others more generic. The producers almost always go with the generic stuff because they pick something familiar that has been proven to be succesful before, and we never see the light of day of the more original and interesting stuff unless there's a crazy "visionary" director who's also got pull with the studio.

Even the original Alien movie was going to have a generic shitty alien design until Jodorowski showed the producers (or Ridley, can't remember, it's in the Alien making of on youtube) the work of HR Giger (cause he was working with him on Dune) and they saw >>83071858
or some other image and said "that's our xenomorpth". HR Giger went on to actually not only draw the creatures and ship interior, but also sculpt the eggs and the creatures (using real animal bones, and real animal organs for the eggs, which is why the egg look is so perfect).

So it's so good because they had an excellent crazy auteur director

A funny thing about the original Alien movie, it's completely a studio movie, with many different directors and writers and outside artists attached and interfering with the final product, and for that it came out amazing, a process that today is blamed for creating bad movies.

>>83073574
Also in a background shot during Weyland's introductory speech to the crew in Prometheus. And possibly but unconfirmed at the start of Prometheus (could be any other planet though)

>>83077452
It's not from Alien Covenant, it's from some version of Prometheus 2/early Alien Covenant

There's lots of concept arts of alien flora, which was probably the focus of one version of these movies that didn't have xenomorphs until it turned into Alien Covenant, I think a flower also turns an engineer into something, there's a story board thing in which it happens in this carlos guy site if you look it up >>83075095 >>83075134

>>83074785
i love this

>>83079476
Interestingly it turns the Engineer more into the classic 79 chair integrated Space Jockey design. Probably enlarges too to explain the height discrepancy

>>83079476
>>83077452
>>83079506
I found out the pics are in different sections with the movie name, the flower things>>83074785
and these>>83061101>>83061116 are from Paradise Lost or basically Prometheus 2

>>83079535
The artwork for that says it's from Prometheus 1, so from what I guess it's actually just concept art for engineers, I thought it was about one transforming into super space jockey

>>83080759
Why you don't want to pay for it anon?

In most places it's only $2 bucks, $3 tops and the theater doesn't even fill up because all the normies are watching GOTG.

Isn't this missing the point though? The scary thing about the Alien is the idea of it being a sexual menace, not just a spooky space monster. The thing literally has a giant dick head and is implied to rape a woman ffs.
