Update: Images removed by request of the artist.
Check out what the Prometheus (2012) space suits almost looked like.
Here's how costume designer Janty Yates described the suit design to Clothes On Film:
"We wanted to go somewhere where it wasn’t traditional spacesuits. Sleek and slimline, to avoid the sort of ‘Michelin Man’ look of the NASA suit
"...It is a prequel, but Nostromo (the spacecraft featured in Alien) was a space tank. It was a functional space tank, and they were functional engineers, so that was a functional space suit. Basically, it was issued with the spacecraft; it was literally intended to be used to maintain space stations and vehicles. But this spaceship for Prometheus was custom-built by Weyland Industries, so the spacesuits were custom-built with it. The idea that we went with was all of your body functions would be integral to the suit."
Some alternate designs were done by concept artist Matthew Savage (Doctor Who, X-Men: First Class) and he shared them on his site. He sent me some high resolution images to share with you.
