In a new post to their Facebook page, the team over at Weta Workshop has uploaded a series of new concept artwork from artists Tahiwi Trenor-Hunt, Jerome Morris, Luke Hawker for Alien: Earth depicting the new iteration of the Xenomorph.
Four years ago, Wētā Workshop was approached by creator Noah Hawley to work on Alien Earth, the thrilling FX series in which a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on our planet in 2120, a couple of years before the events of Ridley Scott’s 1979 classic.
It was a rare, incredible privilege for us to be a part of the storytelling in this sci-fi universe, one that would see our design and manufacture teams spend thousands of hours helping bring it (and its scares) to life. We explored a wide range of briefs in collaboration with their team during the early conceptual phase that encompassed costume design, props, environments and vehicles.
As the project evolved, our focus shifted primarily to creature development, helping to bring Noah’s unique vision for this franchise to life. Much is brought to Earth in this imaginative new series, and we worked closely with Noah to conceptualise a menagerie of very deadly organisms, including two Xenomorphs. Almost a year was spent on design for this project before our manufacture team began crafting practical effects, bringing horror in new forms to terra firma.
