Actually Lt gez it's a very accurate sculpt of the original alien.
In the process of making my own head I've had to really study Gigers design to try and capture that certain look the original has,and that sculpt up there is pretty much spot on...

Look at this,this is the actuall prop,or at least one of them used in Alien

Disregarding the askew dome you'll have to admit the teeth structure is the same...
The top teeth curve round like that to allow for the shape of the "tongue" to smoothly shoot through,and this critter has only got 8 actuall fangs,4 up 4 down,its other teeth are just flat with maybe the upper two outside "flats" beginning to sharpen,latter alien designs favoured lots of fangs for effect I guess,Gigers idea was that the more human elements incorperated in to such an obviously non human lifeform the more horrific it would appear,and guess what? in 1979 he was right...

I must say that I am impressed. It looks pretty awesome( from the one pic). C'mon now, dont tease us. Show us some more angles. How long did it take you to sculpt/ construct that thing? Does the jaw move or is it a solid sculpture? You really do have some talent. What might it cost if one were, say, interested in obtaining such a thing? Like a commision?
