@bradknowles@hachyderm.io @Cdespinosa You’re actually dead on: the original sketch was done by Foss for Jodorowsky’s Dune (a spice hauler, I believe). Foss recycled the design for an early draft of the Alien script, when the Nostromo was still called the Leviathan.

So, what we’re looking at is Dune prepro manifested as Alien prepro, which makes it all the more special to me. 👫
