Thanks, some of his features were lost a bit in the coloring, but I think the detail I did on his dome makes up for a little.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Well for me the colors are perfectly done, I don't see any default, or maybe you should have added some drool 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
LOL Prolly should have added that, it always makes Xenos look better.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yeah and friendly, when a Xeno drools at you, it's because it love you very much, in the way NOMNOMNOM >XD

Looks fantastic! You put a lot of great depth into this one.

Thanks, I've always like the ones with the skull-like look under the domes for some reason.

Looks good but the details didnt come out so well after you colored it
Its great to see the original design but somewhat fun that the original drawing looks more like the one in Aliens movie, but still great work!

Yeah, I prefer the Giger one of the ridged one from Aliens. 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I prefer it too 
That is correct and he also said: That they would break easily since they would move around so much that the domes would probably crack else. They said they made one with a dome but I havent seen any photos of it, wish there were some somewhere to see, would be interesting to see
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yeah, I'd like to see an updated look for it, too (provided he keeps the skull and doesn't make the head jet black like some others do).
It's funny because he actually revealed that yet some people insist there's a difference between the domed ones and the ridged ones.

I would kill for see HR Giger work with Alien again like that, can only pray he do before he passes away 
To me they are the same, no difference if you look they have exactly the same bodies in Alien and Aliens.
I dont buy that drone/warrior thing, I have my own theory about it which I explain soon.
Yours are great but to me the xenos dont have genders, closest they would be to me is they are all females.
I dont buy that the predalien was a preatorian, the royal part of the hive dont take habits/Dna from their hosts, only sizes but the look is the same or so i think, so avpr just messed everything up for me.
But your idea with most of them being males is interesting
Mine: I go after what the movies and comics said and my idea is:
They are all females(only the queens has womb/life creating organ) but that dont stop them from being dangerous and insanly strong creatures. When they are young they have the dome head(now I also take avpr out of the canon) and after they reach one month of age they grow out the ridged head and more armour to the body. Cameron said the ones in his movie were far older than the one on Nostromo so I go after that
But my idea has holes as well if we go after all comics and movies xD FOX have done a mess with them sadly.

*Rachelevans1013 was the one that actually introduced me to the male idea. In the Alien novels (including several movie novels) when the Xenos talk they refer to each other as males (EG, calling their hivemates "brothers") with the exception of the Queen who they refer to as a female. Before she introduced me some of this stuff, I hadn't thought too hard about it, really. I really hadn't even thought about the idea of how the speak to each other. They do so through a form of telepathy and the speak in a poetic-like fashion. the novelization of Alien: Resurrection is the best example of it. The book is far better than the film. Another instance of them having genders being mentioned was the comic: Aliens: Genocide. There were two warring hives in it. The traditional Xenos which were said to be mostly males and the "Red Army" which as the name implies were red. The reds were more aggressive and said to be mostly females with the exceptions of a few drones. The way I've always saw it is Drones are the workers and the head one is tasked with being the Queen's mate (the definition of drone in the insect world means a male who's only function is to work and be a mate to a Queen). The Warriors on the other hand are the soldiers/ protectors of the Queen. I would be inclined to believe Warriors could be females, but the novels also mentioned Drone-Warriors which were referred to as males.

I have to look into that sometime when I get the time and will to look into it
But it dont sound impossible and with xenos we never know what is the truth and what isnt so all ideas are okay
Hmm do you know where I could read the Alien resurrection book? They are often better than the movies itself xD
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Really, I don't think there's such a thing as "canon" in the Alien and Predator universes lol. For example, some Pred books show there are males and females and they're called Yautja while another book calls them Hish which shows them as creatures that don't have genders at all (they're basically like Earthworms). It's more or less a choose your own "canon" kind of thing. Another good example of it is the Space Jockeys. In some of the novels and comics, they portrayed as elephant-like creatures rather than humanoids like in Prometheus. It's impossible to make all that stuff fit together. XD
I found mine on Ebay. You can usually get them cheaply on there. I actually enjoy the novels more than most of the movies (well I like Predator, Predator 2, Alien and Aliens, the rest of the films are just so-so to me). Another good novel is called Aliens: Labyrinth. But I would warn it is very dark and disturbing at times. It reveals what goes on in Xeno hives and the fact that they are SMART as in really smart (not the mindless drooling bugs the AVP movies portrayed them as). They will actually keep some captives alive to breed like cattle. The books also show they have emotions like the Res book shows the main Warrior wanting revenge on Gedimen. and he wanted him to suffer slowly and as painfully as possible. Another instance is in Labyrinth when a Xeno becomes annoyed by one of their captives screaming and resins his head the ceiling of the hive to shut him up. The best AVP story is a novel and a comic, actually. It's the original and it beats both the films hands down. They used some stuff from it for the films, but not enough to make them nearly as good.

I agree with you on that
Then ebay it is
Aliens labyrinth I have readed some years ago and I really liked it, but I cant figure out how they managed to get the chestbursters into the womens womb and how the xenos got weaker by that sickness thing, can only imagine how bad the queen must had been
Hmm in the book is the scene with the queen the same as in the movie or any differences?

The novel was very different (well there is a novel version of the movie, but this novel is called Aliens vs Predator: Prey and was made in 1993). It takes place in the future (close to the time of the Aliens film) on a desert planet called Ryushi. The Yautja (what they're called in the novel and what I personally choose to be their canon name) drop alien eggs on the planet to hunt unaware that humans had settled there. They were also unaware their Queen was getting old and had laid an egg containing a Queen Facehugger which infects a creature on the planet resulting in an uncontrolled infestation.
An experienced/somewhat outcast of a Yautja named Dachande leads the group, but ends up getting wounded in a skirmish with a human scientist when they first land (he kinda gets run over by a vehicle, he wasn't even really trying to kill the guy like the others were). The others kill the scientist and leave Dachande to die. He is later found by the scientist's wife who saves his life. He grows attached to her (sadly she later dies in a crash although he does try to save her) and a woman named Machiko Noguchi and the two end up working together to kill the hive. He does die at the end, but not like Scar. He didn't get infected by a Facehugger, he just got impaled by the Queen's tail. He did live long enough after that to help Machiko kill the Queen and then marked her with the warrior's mark. In the sequel, she joins up with the Yautja, but finds out most where not like Dachande. He was somewhat unique and actually noble. He killed another Yautja in the story for murder a human child. The book also tells about the Pred's biology and culture. Such as the fact, that the female Yautja are actually more in charge of the planet than the males. The males hunt to pass the time because the females only allow them on the planet to breed (the females are twice the size of the males, so they are afraid of them). Most people want to avoid that part and say the females are a lot like human women. They are in build, they're just really tall. XD It's the main reason I made my only female Pred char a hybrid because I could pretty much define how she'd look myself.

Ahh that one, I readed it as well some years ago, should buy it again, have the comic book version it now although xD
To me it is one fo the best avp books ever done 
IS a bit curios about the novel of alien resurrection, what differences does it have or even enw scenes? And the newborn birth, is it different or?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Not to mention it was the first lol. It's a shame the films didn't follow its example. If they made that novel into a movie, it would prolly be as popular as Aliens.
Well the novel pretty much goes over everything the movie did, but in more detail, it also shows things from one of the Xenomorph's point of view (the large one that carried Ripley). For example the scene where they kill the other Xenomorph to escape. They're reluctant to it at first. He remembers Ripley telling Burke "I don't know which species is worse, Burke! You don't see them screwing each other over a damn percentage!" The book basically states they have a race memory and thus can remember the memories of their ancestors (they remembered Ripley's because she is technically one of them). But anyway, the Xenomorph continues to ask the Big Warrior to kill him and use his blood to escape and although they do not want to kill their hive brother, they finally do to escape. The main thing that makes Xenos disgusted at other species is most other species will kill their own, Xenomorphs do not believe in murdering within their species.
