Alegroth's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mecha Xenomorph]

Interesting depiction, I'd rate it higher if I'd seen more of the xenomorph in the depiction. Although the new Alien movie (Covenent) depicts new species of aliens I can't quite see how this fits. The rendering itself is, regardless, quite nice even though there seem to be some perspective challenges with the head contra the thorso? Overall though I really like the pose and the idea.

Hi Emil, thanks for the feedback ^^

This was a submission for a "LVL99" challenge which required the participants to depict a character of their choice in an "evolved/ improved" state. I looked at the xenomorph evolution chain and figured that a "real" final form of this creature would pretty much be a godzilla like kaiju (massive with thick appendages to support its weight) and drawing that didnt seem as appealing to me. So I choose to take the alien design and push it through the human evolution chain. Where the creatures brain develops faster than its body, it starts using tools and equipment to make up for its biological weaknesses(similar to predator). Because lets face it, in most of the alien movies the xenomorph dies to some sort of machinery :D

I do agree that this design and my execution are far from perfect, you can check out a better cut version here(http://fav.me/dbamtox)

I'd give this five stars if it was finished. Amazing detail and since I am myself really bad at anatomy I must give your praise for the depiction in your image. Will be interesting to view the final result. The depth and the semi-abstraction of the piece is intreaging and I can't wait to see the final piece as I said.

Glad you like it - I posted the finished version now, if you would still like to see. I'm afraid that a lot of the epic quality was lost in my sub-par rendering of the background.
