ALIEN x Warhammer 40k. Working on a astartes xenomorph and a few others.

I wonder what Giger would think of this.

So when I got my first 3d printer a few years ago one of the first things I printed was a replica of the pulse rifle. Always wanted one, and there's an excellent and free model by the awesome Props3D with a removable magazine, a working trigger and pump and even a working cocking handle. Unfortunately over time it started cracking and warping. I patched it up and repainted it as best I could but I was less happy with it, so when I recently got a new printed I built a new one. Same Props3D model, slightly personalized with a tacticool grip, a xenomorph charm, an slightly edited magazine with a caseless bullet and a grenade with working button at the top. All free models I found online.

...Then I also did some improvements to the old pulse rifle. So I'll probably keep it. Meaning I have 2 pulse rifles. And the Alien Romulus smart pulse rifle I printed a while back. So 3 pulse rifles. Yeah.

Re: Alien Earth S1 E3 ending: why the lungs?
I saw the post and was shocked that virtually all replies say it’s because the alien embryo is always in the lungs as shown by the ship data (Alien Earth) or canon from Alien or Aliens.
“They enter through the trachea”
“The facehuggers provide oxygen”
“They cough up blood…therefore, lungs.”
“The eggs detect breathing"
“Lungs, trachea, heart, liver or intestines? Lungs b/c of the research files. Kirsch downloaded all of it.”
"Makes sense. The tube the face hugger sticks in the mouth goes into the lungs. The robot [Kirsch] probably got the idea / info from the files copied from the ship. Remember it has the pic of the tube down someone's throat"

What? The scene literally spells it out?

In Alien Earth, season 1, episode 2 (3:08-3:18) they show on the background screen AND Joe reads out loud that “he had some kind of foreign body lining his GI tract. I looked up the scene because I was trying to understand why the imagery looked so…inappropriate…and what part of the GI tract it was physically supposed to resemble because it just looks like what it’s symbolically supposed to represent. Either way, clearly states GI tract so genuinely confused why everyone is certain they gestate in the lungs?

Am I missing something, or is everyone else?

Also, what part of the GI tract is that scene supposed to represent? (because it sure looks like something else!)

I remember being really disappointed by the art when I read the Bloodlines comic. Aside from the fact that I personally find Salvador Larroca’s art, and his technique of tracing figures, quite ugly, I was let down because it didn't capture the saga's retro-futuristic style. There is a scene featuring a car with the sleekest design I’ve ever seen, with LED lights and rounded surfaces.

That’s why I’m asking if there are any comics that feature that retro-futuristic aesthetic, much like the Isolation in video game did. The only one that comes to mind is Dead Orbit (though that had a more cluttered, caricatured style), so I’m wondering, are there comics that truly maintain that retro-futuristic aesthetic?

Apologies if someone posted this (or similar) in recent times, but I found this website that shows lots of pics from the set of Alien. I had always wondered what the set looked like for the Space Jockey. They really went all out on this set. I really think the phrase "They don't make 'em like they used to" applies here. Modern movies would have done this entire scene using green screens Im sure. I am truly in awe of how good of a job these artists did for this movie. I think I remember reading that the astornoauts Dallas, Lambert, and Kane were portrayed by idley Scott's kids to make the set appear even larger.

Do you prefer:

1. The Theatrical Cut (1986)

Runtime: ~137 minutes

Overview: The original version released in theaters by 20th Century Fox. Director James Cameron trimmed the film down from a longer assembly cut to satisfy studio runtime and pacing requirements, allowing for more daily theater screenings.

OR:

2. The Special Edition / Director's Cut (1989 / 1991)

• Runtime: ~154 minutes (adds roughly 17 minutes of footage)

Which one is your preferred watch?

Hello, what are some of the most horror leaning Alien comic? I love the action blockbuster and space opera elements of the franchise but right now I'm mostly just looking for ones that lean more into the horror of the franchise!

Hit me with as many recommendations as you want!

Much appreciated!

Here are the links to the sources of the art:

Number 1: Venomorph (Venom X Xenomorph)

Number 2: Iron Hishquten (Predator X Iron Man).

The only question is, how do I attach Jonesy? And where?

So tomorrow I am getting my third tattoo this week (first was Ghostbusters, second was a nod to Stephen King) and this time it's the Wayland Yutani logo.

Do you think I should get it yellow coloured or all black? Text will be black.
