Ridley Scott's Alien Could Have Looked Like This

Here's screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's original concept art for the creature in Ridley Scott's Alien. Other Alien/Aliens concept art floating around online includes H.R. Giger's early face-hugger drawings and the heavy loader design that James Cameron rejected.

This is a bunch of concept art and rare images we came across on the web, some of which appears to be screenshots from the rare Alien/Aliens laserdisc. None of it is new, but it's all new to us. (You can view it in non-gallery format here.) Check out more Alien-related goodness at these links, and also check out H.R. Giger's website. [When is evil cool? and Skiffy]
