NeomorphMember1566 XPJul-08-2016 4:59 AMHave just discovered a piece of artwork by Wayne Haag who is one of the concept artists on Covenant.
It looks a lot like Fassbender, don't you think?
The insignia on is arm also looks familiar.
The poster was good though!
PraetorianMember2674 XPJul-08-2016 6:58 AMGreat find, deffo looks like Fassy!
That image appeared on the cover of Interzone magazine issue 250 from 14th January 2014!

EngineerAdmin22520 XPJul-08-2016 8:54 AMDefinitely sporting that Nostromo badge in the shoulder and no doubt it looks like Michael Fassbender! Although it's not directly for Alien: Covenant, perhaps this piece was used as inspiration for Alien: Covenant's suits? It will be interesting to see! Great topic!
DeaconMember10416 XPJul-08-2016 9:48 AMIt will be interesting to see how similar Alien Covenant ones are... i think they are aiming for a Merge between Alien and Prometheus.... basically a Alien style suit with a more streamlined update
That concept work fits that nicely

NeomorphMember1566 XPJul-08-2016 10:31 AMAh. I doubt it's a concept design for Covenant if it was on the front cover of a mag from early 2014.
Oh well, just one more cluster **** by me to add to an ever growing list lol. Sorry folks!
The poster was good though!

Its alright, it gave some brief excitement to our day!
PraetorianMember2674 XPJul-08-2016 11:20 AMNecro that concept could still be very relevant!
Wayne Haag has worked on many films and perhaps this was an ad aimed at Ridley Scott?
If so, it worked cause he's been hired!
Upvoted this topic ;)

FacehuggerMember316 XPJul-08-2016 11:47 AMN4- This is the first I've seen of his work so thank you!
I knew I heard this name before in connection to A:C, but I thought it was Chris Haag, glad for the clarity. I see echoes of Simon Bisley and Moebius there, that's pretty freakin exciting, I think.
DeaconMember10416 XPJul-08-2016 4:31 PMI also see those connections Aorta.... and while its not Alien Covenant Concept work it could be something that could influence it... but i doubt it...
But then who really knows

DeaconMember10416 XPJul-08-2016 4:36 PMA lot of Haags work that is related to Sci-Fi does fit in with a very Blade Runner theme....
I think it could be possible his role is in the Sci-Fi Alien meets Blade Runner style that Fassbender commented on.
He also did this concept are where he listed it as "Alien Temple . Film Pitch Concept Art . Digital"
suits would fit into a Alien 1979 look...
But thats not to say this is in anyway related to Alien Covenant.

FacehuggerMember316 XPJul-08-2016 10:06 PMIt has a 'Don't go in there!' feel to it. Poor humans. Always getting in trouble.
OvomorphMember13 XPJul-11-2016 12:22 AMthe introduction on his page states that he is doing work on the new film:
"I have 20 years experience as a commercial artist working for the film industry. Notable assignments include...and currently working on Ridley Scott's new Alien film."
so it will be interesting trying figure out just what he ends up working on that appears in the film.
DeaconMember10416 XPJul-11-2016 5:44 PMWell i know what two artist are working on....
But with regards to Wayne Haag its would appear to be odd environment detail as far as giving some aesthetic looks to the technology and suits in that era of time.... his work does also involve vehicles too
And so i think yes, Space Suit design and other aesthetic elements that would make a Bladerunner meets Alien would be what he is involved with.

NeomorphMember1681 XPJul-12-2016 8:02 AMAorta: Yeah but humans are curious and sometimes curiosity gets you into trouble.
FacehuggerMember316 XPJul-12-2016 10:04 AMT_D- Yes it would seem curiosity is the real villain of the Alien franchise.
