As some of you may or may not know I am currently penning a screenplay for an AVP Prequel. But I need some assistance... Two pieces of concept art... The first depicting a digitigrade stance Xenomorph from the side with arms, hands and legs slightly longer and thinner than those of human, with a shrunken abdomen. The second showing the exact same pose as above but matching the build of a woman (see below) with condensed/exaggerated versions of the details of the final product on the costume, without a tail and showing the actress wearing power-stilts instead of the Xenomorphs feet. This is because I have envisioned a way in which to realize our beloved Alien creature on screen using the following techniques... - Actresses – Women inside the suits makes more sense than using men. Their bodies, posture, build and movement would compliment that of the Xenomorph. - Power Stilts – The use of Power Stilts would not only give the actresses extra height but also a digitrade stance. - CGI Manipulation – Condensing/stretching the detail on the costumes arms, legs and abdomen, CGI manipulation can be used to stretch and “skinny” the arms and legs and shrink the abdomen, creating alien proportions. - CGI Additions – The feet and tail of the creature can be added with the use of CGI, using reference footage from on-set props. - Animatronics – The workings of the creatures jaw and mouth can be achieved using animatronics, with the head of the creature extending forward and behind the actresses head instead of atop. Although women would ideally be playing the Xenomorphs, their would be no female features. Actresses are only to be used to help accentuate the form of the creature we know and love. To clarify, the finished product would look much like the image below, although less exaggerated, without the "fin tail" and more akin to the design from Alien 1979 and Aliens 1986, with the other piece of concept art showing how that would be achieved "on set" using a woman in the suit wearing power stilts etc. as explained above...

can I play? eheheheh. The story goes like this: Bishop the 157th along with Ripley's grandgrandgrandgrandgrand-daughter [who looks just like Ripley and is also called Ripley] do some time travelling. They get to the Predators Home Planet: Preda-Prime; in a time they haven't achieve space travelling yet. They drop a missile on Preda-Prime and that missile in turn creates a blackhole that sucks their entire solar sistem. Bishop and Ripley's get sucked in by the Blackhole. Hence, there would not be any influence of Predators in the Alien Universe, and the xenos are aknowledged with the right to live as free animals, or whatever they are. muahahahahah. sorry.

@ David1, Had I not mentioned 3 letters would you have posted your "entertaining story"? I require some concept art help from our talented members, not nonsensical ideas - I've enough of them myself.

I'll see If I can do that.
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

I'll attempt the first concept. @Snorkelbottom What do you think of it so far?(Don't worry I'll be changing the legs) [img]http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/241/d/4/mostly_done_xenomorph_by_godzillakuj94-d5cx65j.jpg[/img]

@Juggernaut94, Nice, keeping in with the design, but as I understand it with simple software you could use the same image for both, adding in the outline of the actress to the second image.

Thank you, I'll try to use the same image for both. Question, how digitigrade do you want the legs?

Gavin

MemberTrilobiteAug-29-2012 10:10 AM
@ J94, The lowest limb of the leg to be half the length it is in the top image.

@ j94, er... thanks but I was really hoping for somethings like this... [img]http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/8037/avpzb3.jpg[/img] but towards (but that exactly) this level of detail... [img]http://th04.deviantart.net/fs70/300W/i/2010/035/5/9/Xenomorph_alien_by_COVENS_OZ.jpg[/img] ... you see, ideally the actress(es) in the suits would be between 6' to 6' 5", with the power stilts giving them an extra 6-8 inches in height, so that they could be an almost match for the actor in the Predator suit (7' 1").
