Looks great. It's funny, I never noticed until the last few years that the chap had a human like skull underneath the dome in front. Kinda makes it even more creepy as it really doesn't seem to have a function.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Yeah, it kinda makes it undead.

Giger loves his skulls. That and both male and female genitals. Oh cant forget dead babies. He's a twisted SOB.

 

[Reinhardt]

Mind-blowing Nathan!!!!

GREAT work Nathan on the alien

Prometheus will be great - though no classic aliens will be in the movie it apparently has lots of other cool looking monsters in it!

 

[SilentSurfer]

Thanks, guys!

I was actually amazed by how much reference for the Big Chap head I was able to find online, but in doing so I discovered that there were about 5 different heads made for the movie, and each one was painted a little differently. The overall head shapes and proportions are also slightly different. It was a challenge to figure out how to incorporate the overall look of different heads into one piece that had everything I wanted to see in my own personal holy grail Big Chap.

 

[stshammgod]

What's the history behind the name "Big Chap" anyway? Is it a cool story?

 

[SilentSurfer]

Probably not. Being that Alien was filmed in England, I suspect that the people on the set just refered to the very tall humanoid creature walking around on set as 'the big chap'. Chap being an English way of saying guy or dude or man, I imagine it was kind of like saying 'the tall guy'.

It's not. It will be a new head for an Indy custom.
