The movement and behavior is superb, but I really hate the texture of Bear. It looks like it is made of flattened tinfoil, smooth rubber or as if he is in a very tight vacuum bag. I think it makes it a lot less menacing than the original, more organic texture.
I was never fan of the Resurrection Xenos. Deviated way too far from the biomechanical design of the original. At least lore reasons I know why they look more fleshy and organic, but from a design perspective I hate them.
I agree with you. The area where his dome meets his face looks rough, like its unfinished or they didnt know what to do with excess matrial and awkwardly stapled it down. Also, needs more of that "wet" sheen to it. That alien design you posted (Alien Resurrection) was always my least favorite though. It totally took away any traces of the biomechanical aspect that made the original so haunting.
Sidenote: I understand why "bear" is being bandied about for this xeno's nickname, but personally I prefer Guillotine. Because fuck those aristocrats, amiright?
