The artist that created the Aliens in "Alien" used his wife as a model.
My flat mate had a book of his work and it features lots of somewhat disturbing pictures of a women in various distorted forms. In the more true to life images she is a VERY actrative lady, but her face was gradualy distorted in to the face of the Alien.

Yep, his name is H.R. Giger. a surrealist. I quite like some of his work, but I agree some of it is quite disturbing. He also designed the Alien in 'Species'.

As far as aliens that look like aliens, definetly Yoda or Jabba the Hutt

The "Aliens" alien was not completely his. He was hired to design them for the first movie. then the film studio had their designers change them and didn't consult Giger much at all for the other movies.

hence the different heads between the first and second movie. The first one was smooth whereas the "Aliens" one was ribbed.

Yeah, there were noteable differences. I just like the queen's vertebrae extension thingies.

The queen was awesome.

Ribbed heads are definitely better

I was wondering how long that would take when I posted.

Ah yes! The mind of Mr. T has yet to cease in amazing me

Giger has some awesome art that's for sure! Maybe there should be a poll added to this?

Who designed that hybrid alien in the last flick!?! It sucked!!! I was expecting something much better!

Yeah I didn't like it either. Loved that Ripley was part alien though.

Might look it up to find out.
