Description
Thi is my own version of predalien , i have been thinking very much how to show this predalien of my point of view, if you look at a runner (dog alien) can see that is about the same features as other alien , with small differences, i have thought it would be logical that a predalien be about the same as other aliens because it would be more realistic .First stage of design : [link]

Pretty nice take on the Predalien concept. Personally, I think the mandibles should be partially detached from the head like the Predator. Maybe some subtle, short, dreads as I never thought they are hair but more like quills or spines on the Predator (Yautja). Other than that I believe that this design is excellent.
Apparently the original design for Aliens vs Predator: Requiem was more bio-mechanical but a kid touring the studio saw the Predalien model and reportedly said: "Hey, cool alien." The creators of the design then thought the Predalien was not distinctive enough in response to this and changed it. I never saw the original concept for the film, so I cannot say whether that was a good decision but frankly not a huge fan of the version of the Predalien from that film. The creature in the 2010 Aliens vs Predator game is better (aside from the digitigrade legs).

Hi dude!
From my personal view is that the Predalien from AvP requiem was a terrible fail in all the aspects of the design, and has that feel more like a mutant combination between alien and predator D.N.A instead of heaving a xenomorphing biology.
If you take a look of what the alien dog or ox(cow) appear in his design: www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets… , or any kind 4 lagged animal or feline, zebra, cow, horse, those type of animals will create the alien 3 design, with no horns, or zebra stripes.
The xenomorph will take from his host a very little characteristic that is in his D.N.A.
THe predalien will be a very tall alien warrior with a very tough exoskeleton and bio-mechanical layer, nothing more.
Dreads or horns, those things are elements of the host not for bio-mechanical xenomorph, that is a perfect bio-weapon creature.
The alien takes from humans only the bipedal characteristic, and from four lagged animals only the characteristic, not the elements or parts.

Yeah, you have good point. The "DNA reflex" is subtle in the original Alien films and gives the creature enough of an edge based on the host's DNA but not enough to dilute the xenomorph's "natural" genetics. Still, I think the Yautja's mandibles are a must and I am glad you incorporated it into your design.

Thank you very much!
If you are familiar with Alien 3, you will see that are three version, theatrical and director'cut, or assembly cut.
Theatrical cut is the shorter version of this movie, witch represent the version with the alien dog xenomorph.
Director' cut and assembly cut are two version of this movie that are very similar and the difference between them are only with sound effects!
Those two version contain the scene with the cow or ox host that creates the xenomorph identical with the dog version.
From that perspective i also see the predalien xenomorph.

I like this a hell of a lot. This is probably the way to go for a predalien indeed!! Very nice work!

I've never been to agree with fox design of the predalien ( it is so stupid without reason and realism )more a mutant than a xenomorph !
The xenomorphs are perfect biomechanical creatures and they barrow only the caracteristic of the host , not the similarities .
Thank you so much for your appreciation!
