Underwater Expeditions on Paradise

“A fascinating and gratifying discovery during one of my underwater expeditions was this gargiantian shell showing an almost caricatured spiraling double-ribbed fortification.”

Concept Art

One other area that depicts an underwater expedition or the recovery of sea creatures contributing to David 8's experiments on underwater life is the concept art from Dane Hallett (organism) and Wayne Haag (water landscape).

And below is the zoom of the center of the above image. This Dane Hallett image (profile photo) does show familiar characteristics in the head shape and the protomorph head.

Ati

Wow! Beautiful article!

An android under the water... The perfect submarine.

Ingeniero

Thank you for that Ati and I still appreciate the link you gave me to the Dane Hallett page for the amazing concept art.

Ati

My pleasure, and I'm glad if I can share Hallett's secrets. :)

sherris

thanks for taking the time out to do this !! (again)

i love all these details it is what makes the universe so special to me

thanks 

Cerulean Blue

Very Cool!!

Ingeniero

Thank you for your compliment Cerulean Blue. I hadn't considered this until I read "during one of my underwater expeditions" in David 8's notes...then, wow.

Ati

Ingeniero - Glad if I can help your investigation. I'm sure Hallett is working on the next chapter. 

Ingeniero

I believe you are correct Ati.

Notice the second set of jaws in the below Dane Hallett image?

Ati

Ingeniero - Yes, I did. I compared the images of this microguy and the rejected watermonster in a topic. This field microguy was part of the Alien Covenant marketing. I highlighted that the two monsters look similar so I jumped to the conclusion that Hallett is working on the sequel at the moment.

Ingeniero

Thank you again Ati....I really need the prequel novel right now. 

Ati

Ingeniero - It is out now. :)

Ingeniero

Amazon preorder reads "released on September 26"...so I will contribute heavily to important things in my life now that I plan on neglecting 5 days from now.

Ati

Ingeniero - There are people who have the book in their hands now. :)

Ati

Ingeniero - Ok, I see that AC needed a planet like Planet 4 (with forests, lakes, fields, etc) but the next movie should look more Alien - I mean I don't want to see plants, seas, etc, I want 'dead' planets, more spacesuits, more spaceships, asteroids, etc...

Ingeniero

LV-426 was sure desolate and the films eventually tie into that planet Ati. So, we can both have our hopes up for more time in that type of environment and the technology needed to conquer it.

Here below is an example of early concept art from Prometheus: The Art of the Film, page 27, with another example for suits.

I would like to see some new landscape concept art like what Wayne Haag did for Alien: Covenant.
