Anatomical Venus, Elizabeth Shaw Concept Art by Matt Hatton for Alien: Covenant

This image bears similarity to William Etty’s Sabrina and Her Nymphs; the reason for David to draw Shaw in this style is because of the sort of character she is, strong, independent and a figure sympathetic to those victim to a system that undervalues them e.g: David the Android.

She is seen to be keenly aware of this situation of David’s during the speech given by Peter Weyland as he addresses the crew of the Prometheus.

From that moment on she displays a lot of sympathy towards him, and tried to show him that she appreciated him and his efforts to assist them in their mission. But there is also a dark double meaning to this depiction of her, she is also subject to the same patriarchal plight of women. Made to be a vessel for the paedomorphosis of the xenomorph.

These images are meant to be ambiguous in nature but if you understand their artistic meaning and what it meant for David to create her in this way you will have a better understanding of how really messed up David is since his head was reattached, or perhaps from even earlier than that.

There’s also relevance in the fact Milton, the author of Paradise Lost and the prime story which Alien: Covenant is based upon; had written on this Goddess Sabrina. For David, the use of Shaw’s body guarantees him freedom of creation. From the perceived and actual indentured slavery from which he suffers.In the end she also only saw him as a robot and probably couldn’t reciprocate his feelings. So with no use for her as his Eve she was to be a ‘rib’ in the making of the perfect organism.

Milton writes of Sabrina in Comus, in which the water-nymph is conjured and rescues the Lady from her plight because she is pure of heart. As agent of freedom, then, Sabrina is seen as powerful, mystical, and sympathetic to women who fall victim to a patriarchal system which undervalues and confines them. Milton’s description of Sabrina is worth quoting here:

There is a gentle Nymph not farr from hence, That with moist curb sways the smooth Severn stream, Sabrina is her name, a Virgin pure, Whilom she was the daughter of Locrine, That had the Scepter from his father Brute. The guiltless damsell flying the mad pursuit Sabrina at Croome Of her enraged stepdam Guendolen, Commended her innocence to the flood That stay’d her flight with his cross-flowing course, The water Nymphs that in the bottom plaid, Held up their pearled wrists and took her in, … And underwent a quick immortal change Made Goddess of the River; still she retains Her maid’n gentlenes, and oft at Eeve Visits the herds along the twilight meadows, … The clasping charm, and thaw the numming spell, If she be right invok’t in warbled Song, For maid’nhood she loves, and will be swift To aid a Virgin, such as was her self In hard besetting need, this will I try And adde the power of som adjuring verse.

Lápis de cor Cromus

Olá pessoal!

Um dia que estava passeando pela americanas quando encontrei um lápis de cor chamado Cromus, o valor dele era R$3,49 por 12 cores, capaz que eu não ia comprar, né?

Eu cheguei em casa bem faceira, louca para testar as cores e a qualidade. Na hora eu até me surpreendi, pelo preço que paguei, achei eles macios e com cores bonitas. Até que eu comecei a usar mais seguido. Os lápis…
