EngineerAdmin22228 XPAug-26-2012 12:34 AMSo, 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!

NeomorphMember1566 XPAug-26-2012 3:48 PMSnorky, I like it.... Right, just need to find my pencil.The poster was good though!
EngineerAdmin22228 XPAug-26-2012 5:07 PM@[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. :)
OvomorphMember0 XPAug-26-2012 5:43 PM@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! xDNeomorphMember1566 XPAug-26-2012 5:56 PM@HAL. I just need to know how to upload Pictures from photobucket, then i'm up and runnin? Help!The poster was good though!
OvomorphMember0 XPAug-26-2012 6:04 PMChris 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" .
OvomorphMember0 XPAug-26-2012 6:05 PM@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.
OvomorphMember0 XPAug-26-2012 6:06 PMBOOM, nice one Belladonna!!OvomorphMember0 XPAug-26-2012 6:08 PMBella Donna Maria!!! That's a lovely drawing... and it's a female, too! Well done, I like it!OvomorphMember0 XPAug-26-2012 6:14 PMthank you ^_^ more to come!!! 
OvomorphMember13 XPAug-26-2012 6:41 PMThat's pretty cool like the exaggerated length of arms and legs...you should try a queen version attached to an egg sackNeomorphMember1566 XPAug-26-2012 6:44 PMBella, well done, i like it!
HAL. Thanx, but how do i get the right size? Like Belladonnas, i don't want to paste it and it's small. I mean, can i rezise it on this site when i go to paste it? Or do i have to do it in photobucket? The poster was good though!
OvomorphMember0 XPAug-26-2012 6:54 PMnice idea space! i should try that, ive drawn a lot of queens but never tried with an eggsack before. thanks for the idea!
necro, my bf scanned the pic for me and it was HUGE... like 3000 pixels high. i used a free photo program to re-size it, then i uploaded it to photobucket.
i have both photoscape and faststone image veiwer. you can get them both free at [url=http://download.cnet.com/]DOWNLOAD.CNET[/url]NeomorphMember1566 XPAug-26-2012 8:32 PMThanx Bella. But i've just realised that i have no interface/tool icons. I used to have them, but not anymore. So, that's me out. :-((The poster was good though!
OvomorphMember0 XPAug-26-2012 11:46 PMthank you :) i just finished outlining what i call "TrilloDeacoQueen" lol i need to shade it, not sure if ill add blue like my other pic, maybe i should since there is so much going on... i may need colors to help it not look like such a cluster f**k!
OvomorphMember40 XPAug-27-2012 12:30 AM@belladonna I really liked your Deacon with a female anatomy, is an interesting concept indeed. BTW I am very interested to see that queen with colors, good work there ;)OvomorphMember0 XPAug-27-2012 12:45 AMthanks! i normally would have made the female more... anatomically correct but i didn't want to get in trouble hehe.
should be interesting to color... i didnt expect to add that many limbs n tentacles but pencils have a mind of their own!

OvomorphMember0 XPAug-27-2012 9:00 AMGreat job Bella!! Nasty and huge!!
OvomorphMember0 XPAug-27-2012 9:44 AMI'm interested and letting my thoughts settle on it... when IT arrives I'll start on it and push my back log of work further back - at this rate I will be known as the "Prometheus obbsessed painter"!
OvomorphMember43 XPAug-27-2012 1:28 PMPretty good Genjitsu and Bella. Wow! The egg sac is a nice touch! And thank you, Chris. ^_^ My entry:
I rushed this because I'll be a little busy the next few weeks, so hopefully it doesn't look too bad. I made the deacon more feminine.
OvomorphMember0 XPAug-27-2012 2:20 PMI love the style of both... think I prefer the less Gigery version, but even that is a vast improvement over the creature seen in the film, which looks like its not fully formed.
OvomorphMember0 XPAug-27-2012 2:41 PMhere's one of my quickie. :p http://skysnap.deviantart.com/art/Xenomorph-Alpha-323748742
OvomorphMember0 XPAug-27-2012 4:43 PMSky, you kept to the Mural. cool
EngineerAdmin22228 XPAug-27-2012 8:28 PM@Bella - very cool "Queen" rendition of the Deacon! Personally, I kind of have it in my head that the Deacon is "male", or a "King" Alien if you will. After seeing concepts of such an Alien in the comics, it kind of resembles the Deacon more than an actual Xeno. But your vision of it as a queen is spot on I'd say, really cool!
@Leeta - Nice work! Very very cool! What did you use to make that? Paint or was it digital? I almost can't tell! Either way, fantastic work!
@Sky - I like how you went with the "Mural" pose. Very neat. You should use that and perhaps make a giant mural with the Deacon in the center! That would be cool! But nice work also!
The artwork from you guys is incredible! Really enjoying reading this thread! :) Keep them coming!
And @Punx, can't wait to see what you come up with dude! I bet it will be intense!
