28th
October 2016, came along, and suddenly there came what appeared to be photos from the set of Alien Covenant from the website http://www.soisitanygood.com/

| Carlos Huante's Shwa-Babyhead concept for Prometheus |
Photos 1+2, Creatures on display as if this place was a museum, with numerous
cartoonish mutant goblins that almost belong to a Brian Froud book but
with a Francis Bacon ghoulishness to them, but one of them appears to
be very much Carlos Huante's Shwa-babyhead creature unused design left
over from the Prometheus production (see: Carlos Huante's Babyhead).
There is a large alien head near enough like an adult alien with its
face almost decomposing and on the left of its jaw, its teeth showing
through looking twisted, perhaps echoing Francis Bacon's portraits.
There is a drawing of an adult alien creature in the background as well
as one of these creatures with a spike at the back of the head, various
notes and drawings on the wall to the right
. Facehugger and goblin like creature in a drawing to the right of the alien head shown in image 2
.
Of course Giger isn't around to offer a personal view on what they've
done with the large alien head or even guess what they're doing with his
old ideas.

3) A new
facehugger with lobes that remind me of the shoulders of a biomorph fromFrancis Bacon 'Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion', its underbelly on display showing almost lewdly its under parts resembling the female anatomy.
The legs are quite spidery on this one and perhaps we might even loose
count of the legs if there are any more than twelve. To the left side, a
plate full of small skulls, perhaps like a monkey and then further to
the back on the left side are small bird like skeletons, and in the
distance as well as ampules on the shelves in the background. In the
background on the right, a closed spore can be seen and something that
resembles the mouth of a whale sized creature. Drawing on the wall of
facehugger legs.
These
first three images appear to be something that people would have their
attention grabbed by so that they could have a look at all the alternate
designs just as one would be interested in production art and behind
the scenes sculptures in the studios. One wonders what's going on here.
Is it Leonardo Da Vinci's studio meets Alien. Is this really a set as it
was in the film or some sort of setup for the photographer to leak
online

4) A photograph of a tunnel would show alien
spores, with four petalled openings, but slightly redesigned placed
around the ground and one of them would be open. It differs from Giger's
original design as if they have a sort of stylised neoclassical oddity
about them as if they were supposed to alien spores by Fabergé.
5)
The space jockey pilot chamber in the style of the interior of the
Juggernaut from Prometheus, presumably David the robot and Elizabeth
Shaw flew away from the planet in a vessel of the same type
