I really enjoyed the interview - I didn't really appreciate the care and thought put into the movie (at least this part of it, anyway) nor the sheer amount of effort it entailed. Hundreds and hundreds of final pieces, with an unknown amount of concept work on top of that!
The artbook is gorgeous. The cover is gorgeous. The art is gorgeous. The style they were going for was Rembrandt and Leonardo meet Giger, and I'd say they nailed it. Maybe with a touch of Stephen Gammell in there, too. The art was loosely based on the progression we see in the film - from observation and description to experimentation to...... Its genuinely unsettling art in a genuinely unnerving order, and I felt both compelled and uncomfortable. Which is exactly what xenomorph-styled art should do.
My only real complaints here are 1) there's more repetition in the art than there should be for a book like this - some pieces were shown 2,3,4 times over the book. You had hundreds of pieces and additional concept art! There's no reason to repeat in the limited space we have! Some of the text repeated as well. And 2) some pieces were incredibly intricate - I would have loved to see them in fold-outs or 2-page spreads so we could get more detail. (
