You can make out rough arms and legs and tail in the relief of the publicity pic.

If you have a look at Giger,s necronomicon paintings of the Space Jockey you,ll see that the pipe is part of it.

The space Jockey is some sort of gigantic elephant man.

Necronom IV and Alien Monster IV is what SCOTT used for pitching Giger as CD, it has nothing to do with the final design other than the same man did it. Secondly, we've already seen a Jockey Alien courtesy of excised footage, and looks much like any other Alien except for size.

Is this the correct pic?



Watch the DVD with Scott’s commentary.

Then look at the pic again.

Xhan do you have a link to an image of the footage you talked about. I ‘d love to see it?

I,m also browsing for the ******* picture I saw once on the internet.

If some of you knows which picture I,m talking about, there were two spce jockeys at the bottom of the picture, and an egg and a jockey host at the middle-top.

The three jockeys had pipes.

I think a Space Jockey Xeno should be like 12 feet tall around 4 meters and have a much harder hive but be pretty damn slow I mean just looke at how big the SJ was in ALIEN and that was a skeleton.
