Is it really an alphabet though? In the first two films those symbols are used to countdown the Predator's self destruct mechanism.
At the top of this poster it reads "5-4-3-2-1" 8)

Good point, this is from the site:

"And while not known to be 100% accurate, the image to the right is supposedly a translation of the Yautja alphabet. It is not known if the Yautja read from left to right or vertical, or even if they use any kind of punctuation.The most obvious use of this written language is seen on the Yautja hunter's wrist console."

One more thing, The original Predator had the targeting system (laser) for the shoulder cannon in his bio mask. Anyway, I definitely want one.

This. Very much so. I also love the countdown above the Predator's head. And the target on Arnold's forehead drew my attention towards the center, removing it has made it easier to take in the whole image.

Grey paper. It's more ink but building 6 colors on top of black paper can be a little tough.

18x24. 24x36 is a little tough for me to print by hand right now.

I could see that size being a pain in the butt. I'm shedding a tear, but I bet I still try and grab one. It looks good.
