Another fascinating piece; there's probably a book in the subject (if there isn't already one). Scott's storyboards for all his flicks are famous; they're know as 'Ridleygrams', he went to art college before he transitioned into film-making (through advertising). Same with James Cameron who didn't 'just' do Storyboards; he did the actual 'Rose sketch' for Titanic and IIRC the first Avatar promo art (close up illustration of Navi eye). The link between Comic narrative and storyboards is massive; look at all the comic artists who work between the 2; Steranko on 'Raiders', Jock on 'Batman & Dredd', Fegredo on 'Noah', Chris Weston on multiple projects. And that's without even looking at the Comic Artists who also do concepts; like yourself, McCarthy, Weston, Glyn Dillon, Guy Davis. Make sure you check out 'MEZOLITH'; 2 volumes of stunning comics by Adam Brockbank who's primarily a film concept artist.
Oh yeah, it was definitely a (failed) effort in restraint to keep this kind of focused around the ALIEN movies. Love and respect and even know a lot of those folks. Can, and will, write more about this. And will definitely try to track down that book. Thanks for the recommendation!
Even for now just Google 'Brockbank Mezolith' & check out some of the 'images'; weirdly it's the series I think MOST resonates with what your doing in 'Big Shoes'!

Alien 3 is (kinda, almost) the shit.
I kinda, sorta agree.
