Description Original line art by ~GRIDALIEN . I decided to color it like some of the Red Warrior Xenomorphs from Aliens: Genocide.

It's happened before, but its rare. The only comic I've seen these red ones in was Aliens: Genocide. All the others I've seen were normal variants.

LOL Black is still my fav color, but red is a close second. Still Red Xenos are epic.

I sorta question the comic in question because of the Xenomorphs fighting against each other. That doesn't happen often. Still red is one of my fav colors and seeing a red Xeno was just awesome for me regardless of the story. I like Labyrinth a lot, too.

Very nice. Also a good book. Not the best alien comic though, if ya want a great alien comic check out Aliens: Labyrinth and Aliens: Nightmare Asylum. Those are my top 2.

Thanks! Labyrinth is one of my favorite comics/novels, too. I haven't read Nightmare Asylum in a long time, but I remember liking it a lot. I had a huge collection of Alien and Predator comics back in the day and lost them to a house fire. I've been trying to collect most of the older ones via the omnibuses. I'm just missing the Aliens Volume 1 and Volume 2 right now.

You should do the Blade version. XD Wouldn't be hard to change the dome.

I was tempted, but I didn't want to change Grid's line art. Plus I don't have a tablet and although I prolly could muster the ability to draw his skull face, it would have looked horrible drawn by a mouse lolol. I can have someone draw Blade eventually though. Interestingly enough Genocide featured a whole hive of Red Xenos which hated normal Xenos. Interestingly enough the Red hive consisted mostly of females (there were some male Drones, but all the Warriors were female the way I took it).

I just wish that someone would have a legitimate comic that features an actual King and not that geneticaly altered King. I don't think you should can't that one anyways as a King. I do think that one of two Praetorians are male and the other female so they could start a backup hive if they survived a hive's destruction.

Well I think one reason Kings are a rarity is because certain hive-minded insects have them and some don't. Usually a Queen of some hive-minded hive breeds with a drone (that's what really kills the whole "All Xenomorphs are females thing" as the meaning of drone is a male worker who's main function is to breed with a queen). So technically Drones like the one in Alien could technically be classified as Kings though I do like the aspect of some hive developing the need for a massive king that is the same size or larger than a Queen. Speaking of which I was on eBay the other day and found a custom diorama of a Queen with her egg sac and everything (it had been made from the McFarlane Queen). I was like "I'm so getting this!" then I saw the price: 1,500! People really over charge for customs. If I could find a Queen and enough sculpting material, I could prolly make a similar for under $100.00. I wish I could cos I'd really like to have something like that display in my house when I move out.

You know since you have a lot of extra figures in storage you could always sell extras or customize some and overprice them. XD Sounds mean but some people (with mental disabilities) would be buy them and not have a second thought about it. Plus you make way more money than you should. XDXDXD

I've thought about selling them/taking commissions for customs, but I'd never overprice them because doing so would be against my morals. I'd prolly charge for the price of the original figure, a small sum for materials I used (depending on what had to be used and how much) and a small amount for the time and work I put into it. For example if I'd made a Zef'el figure (I don't think I have to link you cos for now I just have the one), the base figure cost $24.99, I used some paint and sculpting material plus some spare parts, I'd add a charge of $7.00 for that and for labor (it took me about three days to finish the figure and an additional day to finish the cloths, so I'd charge about $15.00, so all together I'd charge the client 46.99 (not counting shipping). Of course pricing varies depending on the base figures, parts, etc. I would have only prolly charged the client a total of $25.00 - 30.00 (not counting shipping) for a figure like the Neca S'loss I posted awhile back. But I dunno if I'll ever be confident enough in my customizing abilities to actually take commissions or not though.

You're an amazing custom figure artist! If you were selling some figures I'd buy one. Although I only have $35 ATM. XD So I'd be able to get a good Neca custom figure.
