You might appreciate that your very act of taking any interest in the subject of this character from the film has brought me to have a look at what other thoughts I've had about it and put them down in this blog on another page which this one now leads from as a page presenting one of many possibilities to explore. Many thanks. https://alienexplorations.blogspot.com/2021/09/the-design-of-mondoshawan-from-fifth.htmlwmmvrrvrrmmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052091646279943607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086941578419555377.post-2097994924581587372021-09-09T01:21:37.212-07:002021-09-09T01:21:37.212-07:00Now I've added the image showing an attempt to...Now I've added the image showing an attempt to construct a Mondoshawan from a Henu Barque to give a better idea of my thinking that I did the other year.

Well I seem to like these alien creatures that are not really directly based on existing insects even perhaps if they end up being slightly, but ladybirds/ladybugs are always a favourite. Photos of the ladybird/ladybug chrysalis in the way that it's been taken in that photo are rather uncommon, if one looks at the selection on Google so that seems to be an unusual photograph. Another creature to compare it with might be the Scarab which has grooves on its wing shells similar to the belly area of the Mondoshawan, and that would work well with the Ancient Egyptian theme. wmmvrrvrrmmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052091646279943607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086941578419555377.post-19817914253614948472021-09-08T23:52:15.395-07:002021-09-08T23:52:15.395-07:00That's a ladybug chrysalis (Harmonia axyridis)...That's a ladybug chrysalis (Harmonia axyridis).<br />Most films about aliens are made by copying existing beings, but none behave as excitingly.

The Mondoshawan is a very strange sort of design made up from different things and I appreciate how that seems to have something of it too<br />wmmvrrvrrmmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052091646279943607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086941578419555377.post-6467690941932692912021-09-08T02:40:14.908-07:002021-09-08T02:40:14.908-07:00That's is Mondoshawan origine ;-)
