yes, yes it is. it's a chestburster. I try my best to capture the element of the model i'm showcaseing when I upload them for MMD use. the chestburster is best seen as something of HORROR and sadness so i picked a well loved charecter. for the Xenomorph itself, i went with a different approach.
In the original film ALIEN. the xenomorph is never seen fully, at least in any of the normal versions of the film, deleted scenes and extended editions show the creature off in full but it takes away from the mystery of this creature with the shiny black maw who blends into the darkness. that is why in the xenomorph's showcase submission I used a stage from Silent Hill 3, and darkened it, and then had the alien creaping out of the blackened door. then i opened the render in gimp and added more effects to give it more of a hazy look....like you just got hit by something.
