This fan's Alien: Awakening 'Xeno Shaw' concepts would've made Giger proud

Would have been cool to have David have some sort of creature following him around and watching over him. In the end it would have been revealed that this "thing" was Shaw all along. A dreadful twist.

That is a great idea.

This is great work with some amazing concepts.

The David's pet idea was a prominent concept when Covenant was in very early production. I agree, would have been awesome to have his guardian Alien turn out to be Xeno-Shaw.

These are ABSOLUTELY stunning! You have a tremendous eye for detail and really enable one to connect with your artwork! Like H.R. Giger, your work elicits a response, which to me is the whole point of artwork, to get one to ponder, whether that's an uncomfortable pondering for some or utter amazement for others either way, for me at least, it's what art should do!

Like Giger's work, this transports me to great places and possibilities within the Alien universe. I really admire these for their originality and truthfully warmth, even though what David has done to her is horrific and the ultimate violation, you still (at least I felt) feel that warmth and kindness of Shaw was still there or at least wants to be. So far my favorite one is "Alien: Rise" I think it's called - hopefully I got that correct. I TRULY LOVE them all though! Again just my take sorry for rambling!

Thank you again so very much for sharing your incredible talent with all of us out here!Lady Anne ^^ö^^

I like how a human is busting out of an alien instead of the other way around. It seems an interesting concept to come full circle way down the road! LOVE IT!

A million thanks to all of you and only one question: Should I continue to work on it ? 

Awesome work!

I'd continue...It's your world. It's an achievement. I'd share it with Noomi(if possible..Twitter?) and somehow RS.

This kind of work keeps the franchise alive.

At first I started having flashbacks from Alien 4 then I saw the pictures and I really like it. Basically anything would be better than the basically nothing we got in Alien Covenant. Its amazing how many great ideas were not explored in the very boring script we got for Alien Covenant. 

I think the franchise lives thanks to you guys who care

It‘s very beautyful. I love Shaw and i love Noomi Rapace.

I say they clone shaw!!

Indeed these are some very interesting pieces of work, and thanks to Pred'Alex for creating and sharing these works, some of them i am not sure quite fit into how to have explored Dr Shaw as they are a bit too Bio-Mechanical/Xenomorph but very good none the less..  But i think these ones HERE and HERE would certainly had been very very interesting.

It is a bit of a shame how we ended up with the explorations or lack of with Dr Shaw, i feel AC also went about it a bit of the wrong way, even with regards to the limited resolution we got as far as Shaws Fate.

If we could undo  ALIEN COVENANT just for a moment, and still look at Davids Agenda in Alien Covenant, which appears to be create his own Perfect Creation, then if we go back before Alien Covenant and ask if we was DAVID what basis would he begin?

The closest thing we ever got to a Xenomorph in Alien Covenant was the Deacon, and when we look how these Xenomorph type Organism came to be, its Origins did Stem from what ever that Black Goo contained, but the way/route this Pathogen had to take to give us the Deacon, does lead us down a certain path were indeed Dr Shaw was required to Produce the Face Hugger like Mother to the Deacon.. the Trilobite.

We know David was aware of Dr Shaws none-traditional Fetus, but it would be safe to bet David was not aware quite of the results, or at least never witnessed the result of the Adult Trilobite and what Horror it would lead rise too.

So if we go back to being DAVID, now Post "The Crossing" you can be sure that David would have been very interested to see the End Results of what Transpired from his Experiment on Holloway.

So i feel a starting point for David would be to try and understand WHY and HOW did that simple spiking of Holloway's Drink lead to Elizabeth Shaw being Pregnant with a Alien Fetus. And thus you would think that David would like to Replicate this kind of Experiment again... and so it would have made sense that at some point David would want to Re-Create the Alien (Trilobite) Fetus.  I think Ultimately AC shows us he had conducted similar experiments with Female Engineers... but AC had hinted to us that it was via Dr Shaw that David achieved his greatest Specimens... which Ultimately must lead to those Eggs.

so it would appear that if we went before AC, then using the Black Goo  Pathogen, on Dr Shaws Egg Cells would provide a Basis for Re-Creating something similar to the Deacon, and i think it would have been interesting that the More David had experimented on her Eggs, that Gradually the Pathogen started to infect Dr Shaws DNA and Turn her into a Hybrid, and that this Hybrid Shaw is what then started to provide the Fruits of Davids labor to get use closer to the Xenomorph.

And so seeing Dr Shaw, Restrained against her will, experimented on to give Child Birth but not Traditional Fetus, and eventually see her become a Hybrid Organism would have been interesting...   The Source i had Late Feb 2015/Early March 2015 did allude to something similar.

And when we look at the concept works by Matt Hatton and Dane Hallett we do see Dr Shaw connected to a Bio-Mechanical and sometimes Alien Organic device/restraint and their concepts also showed us a  various Xeno/Human Hybrids some more Xeno than others.... so a BIG QUESTION would be at some point was these kinds of ideas to had been explored.

And this brings me back to the OT.... because some of their work would truly had been fitting to such a Fate for Dr Elisabeth Shaw.

Nice fan art there, but...."We know from interviews that the Xenomorph was not created by David alone, but was a tweaking of an existing genetic makeup previously exploited by the Engineers." <-- Which interviews?? The only thing I heard Scott saying about this is that "David created it". The story in some of the early scripts and the Novel may indicate that the Engineers created it first, but Scott changed his mind in this movie and had David be the originator. Watch the extended material of Alien: Covenant called "Advent". It shows David mixing Shaw's tissue (her eggs maybe?) with tissue of a dead Neomorph and the black goo, leading to the Xenomorph eggs being formed.

@Yog

I think they was mixed up with what the Alien Covenant Novel had hinted, which the Advent Video can vaguely hint towards too, i am not aware of any Interview that mentioned David tweaking etc the Xenomorph Make up.
