Aboard the Derelict

Description

Living Space Jockeys aboard the derelict spacecraft from Alien. I tried meshing my drawings of the space jockeys with a film still to imitate the look of film.

I'm trying not to get too excited about Prometheus, since all of the latest news is still considered a rumor. But those rumors from "inside sources" indicate that the Space Jockey race will still be in the film, and also describes the construction of an 8 ft. tall animatronic space jockey. So, here's hoping!

EDIT: Absolutely love the human-like designs of the Engineers from Prometheus. Was a bit skeptical at first, but they worked better than I would have ever imagined. Very disturbing and unsettling designs that kept right in line with what made the original Alien so great.

Turning the Jockeys into some kind of alpha-humanoid race with no physical distinctions between them was incredibly stupid if you ask me. I disagree when you call that "disturbing and unsettling." I call it uncreative. What is now known as nothing more than an exo-suit used to be plenty disturbing and unsettling and should have been expanded upon. It was never designed as a "suit". It was designed as an organism.

Honestly, you and others can be okay with that part, but I never will. In fact, just about everything about Prometheus pissed me off, especially that funky pterodactyl looking proto-alien at the end. One of the phrases used in promoting the film was "questions will be answered". Nothing was answered. If anything we have more questions now than before. If they don't find an artful way of directly connecting what we saw in Prometheus to the creature in Alien, I'll be happy to write it off as if it never happened.

Awesome pic by the way. Sorry, it inspired a rant that I haven't gotten off my chest since I saw the movie.
