Newborn Redone

I decided to sit down and work on creating a new variant of the Newborn from Alien: Resurrection.

I was thoroughly disgusted by the one which was used in the film, so I wanted to make a better version. ^_^

After about a solid hour of thinking I have fabricated my personal version of a better Newborn.

Even though it is a different version, I do not want it created as the one was in the film. Instead, I would prefer this variant to be man-made, created through genetic manipulation

I am very pleased with the outcome, and I would also like to know if it would be acceptable for me to use it in RPG's (and in general) instead of a standard xenomorph. I already received Dave's permission, but I would like to run it by the other Moderators to see if any of them object.

Anyway, here it is:

And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With old odd ends stolen forth from holy writ
And seem a saint when most I play the devil.
