ALIEN COVENANT

For Alien Covenant I worked mainly in the Set-Dec Dept. under the direction of Victor J. Zolfo, and occasionally Production Designer, Chris Seagers.
A fair bit of work was done remotely from my home studio, however I did spend a few months in Sydney’s Fox Studios, Art department. Where I was able to experience this film in full production. The giant sets and creature department were amazing to visit. Here are a few selected concepts from my time working on this project. Definitely a dream come true to work on such a seminal and influential franchise alongside such talented artists.
Check out more work from this film on my website, cheers! www.jeremylove.com

Lander – Main Console

Covenant – Main Console : The main console for the Covenant Bridge went through many iterations. This is one of the final designs. A huge technical undertaking for Set-Dec!

Terra-forming Bay – Truck Console.

Terra-forming Bay – Truck : The initial design and model for this truck was created by Tony Drew, which I painted over in Photoshop. Here is one of many color/texture passes.

Covenant – Bridge Table: The central table went through a number of changes in shape and style.

Covenant – Bridge Table: Rough Sketches

Both the Covenant and Lander Bridges were fitted with re-purposed chairs from the recent Martian film. The chairs were heavily stripped back to the basic framework, then re-upholstered.

Med Bay Table : Steve Burg created the Med Bay interior initial concept models. I then designed a number of different table ideas. One of these designs which resembles the table in the original Alien film was chosen.

The Cryo pods were designed by Steve Burg. I took the initial design and explored a few slightly different directions. While these variations were mostly un-used, the black bordered window was chosen as an addition.

I then Proceeded to illustrate a detailed version of the exterior, along with working out handles, decals, vents etc.

The Pod interior had not been fully realized, so I did a number of possible layouts for the upholstery.

A design was chosen which I worked up a little more with a few basic orthographic passes. The concept was then passed onto Tony Drew, who took the designs into 3D and worked the shapes out further.

The Lander’s Ammo Hold. Faris panics and mistakenly shoots the ammo cabinet causing it to explode. Because of this, Ridley wanted the cabinet to really look volatile and explosive. I did many iterations for this one...

but in the end a simple set of orange doors were settled on. This was a visual nod to the doors in the original Alien Film. The cargo area which the Ammo Cabinet is situated, was created by Steve Burg.
