Alien Centipede 2

I had been drawing pictures of the Alien Centipede inspired by Tom Six's The Human Centipede and then when The Human Centipede 2 came out in 2011 which featured a group of humans layed out in the form of a centipede in a dark space, I took note of the poster and it reminded me of the strange criss-crossing pastries effect at the bottom of the Alien poster that when it first was shown at the cinema reminded me of humans lying down with their arms spread out on the ground to accept obliteration or a sense of hellish transformation into something else, perhaps in the Alien movie become victims of the cocooning process, in Alien to become food for a spore to grow, or in Aliens, a host for a chestburster. Perhaps now we are dealing with Prometheus, the imagined might undergo an actual transformation into some sort of other thing.
