leading from
a) From the 1992-1993, Chris Halls painted various illustrations of Aliens that conformed to the style of Simon Bisley, another illustrator of these aliens , known for his work in the comic book 2000AD. Hall's style generated images of these scythe like alien heads that had long jaws and from the front looked very narrow. The heads were generally very sinewy and muscular at the side in a way that might reflect the idea of tapping into the unconscious.
b) For Issue 18 of the comic book, Halls painted an Alien that differed from this style completely going for the alien queen as it would appear in the Aliens movie without any significant elaboration.
