Once again, parts of an Engineer ship look a lot like a vagina.

Also a very weird angle to climb into a ship?

I find it so funny how adaptations and pop culture for Frankenstein feel the need to paint “Dr. Frankenstein” as either a batshit crazy old man or a hot mentally unstable guy in his 30s, when in reality Victor Frankenstein in the original novel is just a sickly gay autistic teenager, who does definitely not have a doctorate, written by a 17-year-old goth girl who created the genre of science fiction.

It’s just so funny to me how pop culture is just like, “yeah, Dr. Frankenstein, the ‘ooOoh my peers criticised my science but I’ll show them!’ And ‘it’s alive!’ guy.” when in reality Victor Frankenstein just shows up to class fully “uhm, achtually 🤓☝️” style, then proceeds to rant about his boyfriend best buddy and how hot and amazing he is for pages and pages and pages. What peers? His classmates who probably just know him as “oh, that one.”??? The man is a twink who dropped out of university and due to his avoidance of consequences (not his “whining”, bad character analysis, I see you) by the end he’s driven himself so far to his own demise that he’s just an absolute sopping wet cat of a man. Stop trying to age him up at the beginning or make him hotter or “more mature”, the public deserves to know this twink like we do. And please stop making the creature an inarticulate mess with literally no character to him whatsoever, give us our edgy “i just read this Bible fanfic and Satan is just like me fr” lad we know and love

The Arrival of Henry Clerval

I know I'm not reinventing the wheel with this super lukewarm take, but sometimes the simplest explanation is the best one. I could talk about how "Boyhood" felt like a backstabbing from a friend I used to trust, but who the hell remembers "Boyhood" anyway?

"Prometheus" would've been just bad as a movie on its own, but connecting it to the Alien franchise made it insulting.

And the Star Wars sequels started well enough but having not enough cooks and too many cooks simultaneously ended up ruining the whole thing for everybody.

It's a shame, because in terms of disappointments we have a lot to choose from. If only it was the other way around.

I feel like I know less and less about character design every time I try, but here’s my current efforts with RH: Prometheus designs. I tried starting with silhouettes. …my technique needs work.

i doubt theyd ever actually meet but Ganymede would absolutely get along with Prometheus, they both got royally screwed over by Zeus and his damn bird

I find it interesting that in one of the Prometheus comics, this Engineer from Life and Death doesn't destroy any of the technology that the Humans have set up. Sure, he kills said Humans on sight, but doesn't destroy their tech? Kinda odd.

Maybe my head is just in the clouds, but I like to think there's a legit reason for this.

Kind of reminds me of that one theory that Engineers are doing their best to (albeit violently-) deter Humankind from expanding too far too quickly because their creations are often 1: very violent and 2: aren't fully prepared for the wider universe.

^ Of course I have no idea if that's true or not. I personally think the theory is a bit iffy.

But... It's possible that groups of humans just kept getting caught in crossfire, and these soldiers are simply doing their damn jobs LMAO. I think that's pretty funny.

Some quick general concept Victor designs, stuff probably open to change as I get to those points in the story
