I love the Alien franchise. And Lance Henriksen is my favorite actor. So i wanted to draw all those he portrayed in the series.



Lance Bishop- The first Bishop who appears in the series, he was created by Weyland-Yutani employee Michael Bishop and was designed to resemble him and his ancestor. Lance (the things that belong to him are labeled L. Bishop and all the marines had the same first names as their actors) is faster and stronger than a human, and he demonstrates great scientific intelligence. He is very friendly and quiet. When speaking of the role, Henriksen said he pretended he was still a kid who thought whenever he was mistreated "I'm going to put a little pity on you because i'm going to outlive you". If Alien 3 is not a dream, he was deactivated after being torn to bits after being torn in half.



Michael Bishop- He works on synthetics at the company and may or may not be the head of it. Michael is very manipulative and ambitious. When he tries to retrieve the specimen, his ear comes of when 85 attacks him. Despite his red blood, people think he is a droid. I think he is human, but he could have been genetically altered before he was born with DNA from Charles Bishop Weyland, because a family resemblance after that kind of generational gap is unlikely. He could be an actual descendant, and that's what the company always does to keep Weyland's legacy alive. He could have the same concern about being forgotten after death, which could be why he built Lance and wanted the xenomorph queen so desperately. I'm not sure if his name is Michael Bishop Weyland or not. Maybe he thinks that name belongs to the company or something, so he doesn't use it. Maybe because of genetic reasons he questions his own humanity at times. When he saw he was hurt and yelled to Ripley "I'm not a droid!" He sounded like he couldn't stand the idea of been seen as anything but human.



Charles Bishop Weyland- Charles founded the Weyland company in the 21st century. He was a pioneer in robotics. When he was in his sixties, he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. He started to worry about how he would be remembered after he was gone and became determined to leave his mark. 26 years after his death, a man that could have been his son united the company with a Japanese industry. Since he was an engineer in robotics, he could have left some DNA samples for testing years before he died, which might explain why Michael and Lance look younger than he did when he died.Unlike his descendents, he does not seem to be greedy and power hungry, and uncaring and seems to be rather generous. In AvP he gave up his life so Alexa, and Sebastian could get away from a Predator. But like his descendents, he is very determined on what he sets his mind to



Karl Bishop Weyland- He is the main antagonist in the AVP game (drawing him was a bitch) He is an android, but claims to be a direct descendant of Charles Bishop Weyland. In one of his audio diaries, he mentions Ripley and how she thwarted them three times, and he speaks of his knowledge that spans centuries. The time of the game could take place 100 years before Resurrection. It is revealed that Charles Bishop Weyalnd's memories were stored in experimental technology and implanted into his mind, which might explain what he meant by that. He could have Michael's memories, and Lance's too. Maybe, decades after Lance and Ripley died, Michael could have made him to run the company after his passing, which could be why he looks older because Mike modeled his other creation after himself again. Or he could have been designed after Charles. Or maybe Michael did not build him and was built before he was even born. I don't know. Maybe the AVP films/games aren't even canon, but i drew them anyway. I don't think he liked humans much. Most of his employees were androids, and he compares himself to the Hunter and the xenomorph by referring to himself as a survivor. He said that shortly before he died, of course.
