Pretty neat, but the teeth don't look quite right to me. Looks like one of the later versions of the Alien in some ways.

Leave it to Andrew to find the mistake. He's right, too. The K9s are jutting forward. The original had almost perfectly straight teeth. That was one of the things that always creeped me out. Here this monster looks so inhuman and yet his teeth are straighter than mine.

Definitely funky teeth!

And I agree with Allen about the creep-factor of the mouth design in the original.

and yeah, the later ones had that more frontal-forward angle about the teeth; Alien Resurrection and on. Boo.

Most of the rest looks similar to the Alien design used for the book "Giger's Alien"

The forward pointed teeth kinda remind me of some of the early sketch designs for the Alien's INNER TEETH. http://www.middian.net/Galerie4/Alien/slides/ALIEN2.JPG
