Foss' Derelict
Posted on 5:21 PM by thoms

Leading From :The Design Of The Derelictand Early Alien Artwork a). Chris Foss's Derelict Ship. Foss possessed a colorful and flamboyant style O'Bannon considered ideal for the derelict ship and its benign aliens. His design actually bears a resemblance to the description given in Dan O'Bannon's original script which was something comparable to a titanic lobster and happened to be the one that Dan approved of the most.concept for derelict by Chris...

Cobb's concepts
Posted on 5:19 PM by thoms

From: The Design Of The Derelictand Early Alien Artworka) Cobb's problem as an alien spaceship designer.Dan O'Bannon: "The only problem was that he was a rationalist. I noticed this when we first started designing the picture. All these different things he as doing were coming out so well that I decided to have him take a crack at the derelict spaceship. But when I asked him to come up with an irrational shape he got very disturbed....
Ridley's Criteria
Posted on 5:18 PM by thoms

From The Design Of The DerelictChris Foss's lobster derelict shipWhen Ridley joined the project, Chris Voss's lobster derelict had been the design that O'Bannon wanted, however it didn't satisfy Ridley and he then went through a number of different ideas for the ancient derelict ship before he settled on the concept that finally interested him that we see in the final movie. Fantastic Films: "What are the criterian for credibility in...
Moebius' concept
Posted on 5:17 PM by thoms

From The Design Of The Derelicta) When Moebius arrived on the project and stayed for a short time, Ridley had him design a derelict ship and Moebius came up with a view of the vessel in the distance on a landscape and a closeup of the vessel's observation dome. The shape of it might be comparable to a space rocket capsule or an inverted spinning top.Moebius's derelict shipMoebius' derelict withobservation domea.ii) Addition derelict...
Moebius concept ii
Posted on 5:16 PM by thoms

Leading from: Moebius' conceptMoebius concept sketch for Ridley Scott, both are ideas for the Alien derelict ships, the second definitely in the vein of Chris Foss' concept designs for the derelict ship. If the upper drawing turns out to be a concept for the Nostromo rather than a derelict ship, that's not for me to say. However while it may be Foss inspired one can also make a comparison to the Eagle Transporter from the hit TV series Space 1999...
From Giger's Necronomicon
Posted on 5:14 PM by thoms

From The Design Of The DerelictGiger had drawn something up that looked almost like a musical instrument(Work 280: Mordor IV) Morder IV detail, 4 valves lower centreIf we look at the picture Mordor IV to the right, the central face at the top appears to be putting it's mouth to the opening of a croissant shaped thing, so I take this to be the picture and upon this structure are a series of four valves, which could easily be seen as the entrances...

From The Design Of The Derelict Giger's wreck detail work 396a) ChangesThere was talk about changes that needed to be made to the derelict's design, the information about this is not exactly clear in the quotes below, we find Giger's explanation revealed that there was some confusion about whether the ship could be told apart from the landsdcape and then we also discover another side to it, that his derelict space ship design...
