More Concept Art for ‘The Predator’ Shows Off More Hybrid Creatures That Didn’t Make the Cut
Just yesterday, we shared with you a gallery of Constatine Sekeris’s early concept art for The Predator, which highlighted monkey-like Predator hybrids that were ultimately cut from the film before shooting even began. The idea, at one point, was for the film to showcase a “menagerie” of hybrid creatures, none of which actually made it into the movie.
Today, AvP Galaxy shows off more art that has surfaced this week, this batch of images coming from artist Ben Mauro. Mauro details, “Some Predator exploration back in 2016, always fun to explore different ideas early on in a project. These were an evolution of some early ideas Constantine Sekeris explored on the project that I was asked to take a crack at.”
Mauro’s art shows off an almost aquatic-looking Predator, which has spikes all over its back and tail as well as, most notably, FOUR arms. Sekeris’s concept art similarly featured a four-armed creature, so it’s pretty clear than Shane Black was initially keen on bringing to the screen monsters with multiple limbs. An interesting concept, to say the very least.
