Alien Covenant Sculpture

Because I'm insane I'm doing a life sized sculpture of David the synthetic from Alien holding a tiny xenomorph. It will just be his hand and part of the wrist.

Drawing of the xenomorph:



Start of the hand:




I used my own thumb to add fingerprint detail and then added the Weyland logo (Prometheus showed us that David has this logo in his fingerprints). I'm not done with the rest of the hand but I couldn't help myself I had to bronze it up to see the detail.



I loved putting detail into the back of the hand. Fingers still need their final layer.



Here is the little xenomorph in progress.



More to come. Hoping this will be epic!

Fun to watch, thanks for sharing. Okay, how does the full size hand mix into the alien, just curious?

Looking great so far!

Glad you are enjoying!

As to how the hand fits in...

SPOILERS: This is inspired by Alien Covenant which is a pre-quel to Alien where the Synthetic 'David' created by Weyland gets marooned on a planet and spends his time hybridizing and breeding more and more advanced forms of Xenomorphs (the aliens form Alien) with plans to eventually release them into the Universe to destroy the human race (which he hates for creating him to be a servant).

So this is a sculpture of David lovingly holding one of his early creations of death.

Thank you!! I'm having sooooo much fun.

More detail work on the hand, added it to the base. Needs more wrist/arm, needs fingernail detail, needs bronzing (like the thumb).





All the palm detail was sculpted in by hand.

Very talented to say the least. Now I'm going to have to go see the movie. Keep up the great work.

Lauren's sculpture work - amazing
The new movie - not so much
lol

I know not everyone agrees it was bad, but I'm still trying to get over my disappointment.

Thank you both.

I *loved* the movie...but I watch movies very differently than most. The landscapes, the lighting, the atmosphere, the sets (I could stare at the art in David's study for days), and Fassbender was epic. All in all it was mostly a character study of David with some aliens thrown in...but I loved that. I was entertained.

Yup! I'm *still* working on this!

David and the start of the Xenomorph together.




Detail work started on the Xeno
