They mostly come out at night... Mostly.



Collector Matthew Reed started up a "Tribute to Stan Winston" jam piece. What you see above is just part of it -- I drew this Alien on the far left of the sheet. The guy with the torch is running from a T-rex, and then other characters will be added by other artists. Keep an eye on Matthew's gallery - I'm sure he'll post the complete jam piece up there when it's done. Should be cool.

I wanted to post this because I've always been a big fan of the Alien movies, and I think this is the first time I've actually drawn one of 'em... Unless I'm losing my memory, which is entirely possible.

That alien is awesome! And "the guy with the torch" is Ian Malcolm with a flare. Don't pretend you didn't know that. :P

Yeah, I know... I was trying to speak in layman's terms. In case there are one or two NON-nerds looking at my website.

I think it would have been a little more appropriate to draw the Alien queen since the design of the first alien was already around for several years before Stan Winston got involved. But I like the illustration. :)

true that the design had been around for several years but cameron and winston had made some subtle changes to the creatures in aliens that i think come thru in grants pic. i hope to have a queen drawn up on the opposite page...next to pumpkinhead YES!
