So, with Prometheus passed and the DvD and BluRay coming up for release, we here at Scified.com want to engage the artistic fans here and across the globe. We want you to design and post your own version of what you think the adult Deacon Alien will look like or could look like in Prometheus 2. To make this even more engaging, the most detailed and interesting design artists will win a Prometheus poster! We can allow up to 3 winners to start, but if more submit their works, we can always increase that number so that more artists win and get something for their hard work!

How can we tell if it's genuine? We ask that somewhere on the piece of art you add your site display name here on Scified.com, small in the corner, or under your signature if you so choose to do so. There are already a lot of artist renditions of the Deacon on the internet, but what we are looking for are NEW artwork pieces. So post yours here! It can be any kind of art, from digital to paint. Just post it as a reply to this thread and each day I'll check in and see the artwork! After about 3-4 weeks I'll announce the first batch of winners. I realize creating truly immense works of art takes a lot of time. The contest will remain open until our supply of poster giveaways diminishes. So, anyone can win and show off your talent at the same time! So start your work today share with us your vision of the adult Deacon! Get creative!

I'm not the best of artists but I think the idea is quite plain. It is one of a few different ideas... [url=http://i1275.photobucket.com/albums/y460/DavidGen8/RenderA_zps8e35e64a.jpg?t=1348957577] Adult Deacon Alien Concept 1[/url]

I will try. I do have wacom but not going to use that because I feel comfortable with pencils and ink pen. Will see If I can get make it before the finishing date.
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

belladonnaAugust 26, 2012
that is fun!! i wont even bother because
1. i have seen fan art on this site, i would get my arse kicked.
2. i only use pens and pencils, that cant compete with digital, paint, and sculpting for most critics.
3. i don't really like how the deacon looks, i would make too many alterations and it probably wouldn't even look related :/
it would be interesting if people could use the rejected design concepts for the deacon design, i like some of those more then the one they chose for the movie.

Aww, I'm sure your art is great. Everyone has different styles and none is more better than the other.

Necronom 4August 26, 2012
What a great idea! Could anybody tell me what the best way would be to upload a Picture drawn with pencil to my computer? Would a Scanner be the best option? and would it scan a picture done in pencil?
The poster was good though!

HAL 9000August 26, 2012
Interesting idea and thanks Chris for getting everyone involved! However, is this the new generation of film, design it the way you want it? I'm somehow not sure if this is going into the right direction... Sounds fun nevertheless.

Major NoobAugust 26, 2012
necronom4: provided your lines are nice and dark a scanner will work for you, or you could very carefully photograph it nice and square With good even light and get it into your computer that way. Then, if you have a nice paint application or better yet Photoshop you could paint over it from there. Then just make sure your file is a Jpeg and load it up!


belladonnaAugust 26, 2012
aww thanks leeta! i draw comics so i figured someone that does a more realistic style would make anything id do look like a kids doodle.
now im tempted to be silly and enter a stick deacon drawing... LOL
although if Don Hertzfeldt is on this site he would beat me too it.

ChrisAugust 26, 2012
@[b]genjitsu17[/b] - That is awesome! No way you did that in just 30 mins. ;) haha Very cool! I especially like how you incorporated a Giger-esqu style to the overall dome head and body. Very neat!
@[b]belladonna[/b] - Don't limit yourself! Submit your visions anyways! Who's to say yours can't win? This contest has no max number of possible winners!
@[b]HAL 9000[/b] - That's the thing, I'm asking you to design it the way YOU want it! If you want to do a Giger-style, more biomechanical Deacon, go for it! If you want to go more "next gen film" design and have it be more smooth, then go for it! It's all up to you. Let your imagination inspire you and get it on paper/canvas!
@[b]Leeta[/b] - I've seen your art on here before! Very excited to see what you conjure up!
@[b]Sky[/b] - There is no end date. This comp will go on until supplies of UK Prometheus posters run out. Or IMAX, whichever the winner chooses.
@[b]Patch[/b] - Can't wait to see what you make bro!
I'm so glad to see such a positive feedback to this idea. I just love to see people's talents come to light and shared with those who will appreciate it. I'm fairly artistic myself, but some of the work I've seen on here and around the net is incredible! So I'm really excited to see what you guys and girls come up with and how you each individually view the adult Deacon form in your head!

@Chris. I'd love to see your work man! I'm very nervous about doing one now i've seen Gens.
The poster was good though!

genjitsu17August 26, 2012
You can do it Necronom!!
I may work for the company, but im really an OK guy.

HAL 9000August 26, 2012
@Gen: Very well done indeed, especially considering the time you've spent on it!
@Bella: Even though I'm a 3D artist, a proper hand-drawn sketch is always twice as sexy as most renderings. Considering all the technology available these days, they are normally much more alive, a more direct, creative link to a designer's heart and mind! So, don't hold back, give it a go dear!
@Chris: That's not exactly what I meant. I was referring to the new ways of film makers to please the audience by potentially getting this kind of feedback beforehand, somehow 'making it easy for themselves'. And I admire everyone who is contributing their artwork to this thread. It takes a lot of guts to put your stuff out there!

genjitsu17August 26, 2012
Yeah, i kinda took it more Gigery, i wasn't happy with the look of the Deacon in the film.
I may work for the company, but im really an OK guy.


SubsumeYouAugust 26, 2012
It's called a deacon for a reason, Necro. It makes sense to me more than what you're suggesting. Anyhow, are there going to be more art conception contributions? Gen is the only one so far.

belladonnaAugust 26, 2012
nice!!!!

I might do this if I have the time. I was planning on drawing an Engineer eventually but this is interesting too.

Snorky, I like it.... Right, just need to find my pencil.
The poster was good though!

ChrisAugust 26, 2012
@[b]Bella[/b] - Nope, nobody's been removing posts. Why?
@[b]Hal[/b] - Ah okay. I see what you mean now.
So I can't wait to see what you all come up with! Also, if one of you do end up winning and would rather have an IMAX poster instead of a UK Prometheus poster, then that's fine too. You can choose whichever one you want. :)

Wow!!! Snorkelbottom, THAT is....I'm at a loss for words, it just is!!! : )

HAL 9000August 26, 2012
@Chris: Glad you got it the way it was intended now. It may not have come out properly the first time 'round. And to clarify, I'm not saying the film makers do so, but clearly the opportunity is there, for most of us to end up seeing what we want to see... but that discussion clearly needs a seperate thread, or not.
Back on topic, I can see how this will take a while until we'll see plenty of artwork submitted, unless some prefer submitting it via pm or e-mail. And as I said before, I have all the respect in the world for all those who put their work out there, it's a tough crowd with high standards! xD

Necronom 4August 26, 2012
@HAL. I just need to know how to upload Pictures from photobucket, then i'm up and runnin? Help!
The poster was good though!

belladonnaAugust 26, 2012
Chris i just thought i kept seeing posts on forum page and then when i clicked on them i didn't see them in this thread. but i have been up for a couple days so maybe im hallucinating lol. but anyway, here is a little sketch i did this afternoon, i call it "Shaw's hot granddaughter" .

HAL 9000August 26, 2012
@necronom: Don't they provide links for embedding or sharing on other sites? I'd be surprised if they don't. But what usually works, even from facebook, is to right-click on the maximised image, then in the menu click 'Properties'. Somewhere in there you'll find the entire string (URL). Highlight, then copy it and in the relevant thread use the 'Share Picture' function where you paste the previously selected URL. Done.

BOOM, nice one Belladonna!!
I may work for the company, but im really an OK guy.

HAL 9000August 26, 2012
Bella Donna Maria!!! That's a lovely drawing... and it's a female, too! Well done, I like it!
