Thank God for H R Giger

Far less sexy than the xenomorph

More films should used designs from surrealist artists.

Check out this guy:

what did he mean by this

>actually looks like an alien creature
>Giger just gave us BENISMAN :DDD

Simply having no eyes already makes the Giger creature more alien-looking.

looks like a pokemon that fucked up its evolution desu

I have a HR Giger book, he was obsessed with anal sex. He's definitely /our guy/.

Dat ass thingy though
It's somehow standing straight up and yet is face down add up.

That looks like one of the monsters from the movie Tremors

>he doesn't appreciate bio-mechanical aesthetic
>he would rather have pic related shit

this is why god didn't give you trips

I love Keksinski. He is well-known though, especially here where everyone likes to brag about the first somewhat obscure thing he knows.

>Keksinski
please keep your nazi worship to

>no-fun patrol
Look I was doing an innocent wordplay, get your head out your ass dude

I didn't even know his name was actually Beksinski. I hadn't even clicked the link.

You've proven useless at every turn, good job

my friends make love not war

Don't cry, friend. This is simply the nature of all things.

Ill fuck you up boy

dude's designs were fucking nuts

...

...

...

This creature looks kinda dumb.

Giger manager to create a creature that looked primal and like a hunter but also intelligent.

I saw this video essay on the alien, I forget what it was called but it said something like this:

What makes 'the predator' a great movie monster is the fact that it outclasses you. The 'alien' will also outclass you, but will also defile you.

dat sack

Scott tried to create District 9 decades before Blomkamp. What does this mean?

Imagine a film called "Star Beast!" featuring this creature.

>cover of the VHS is a silhouette of the alien in front of some stars
I can see it

Homo rape
Literally

Got Giger's artbook. Might as well post. If I knew where to start. Dune perhaps.

?

...

...

At least you owned up to it but you should still kill yourself.

Would Jodorowsky's Dune have been kino?

Thats about it with Dune concept art.

No because Jodorowsky is a fucking hack.

...

...

Why? Was Giger lazy or just didn't want cool concept not being used?

>dude's designs were fucking nuts

Nah, they were dicks.

...

pointy penis phalanx battle

I don't remember this from the book

Makes me wonder how Alien would have been remembered if the xenomorph looked like that. Probably as a classic example of cheesy 70s-80s movies.

>when they tell you to leave the buffet because you ate all the crab dip

This one is neat.

There are a couple like that in the one I got. Other one has awful resolution and quality.

Me neither, but I remember reading about that design. I believe it's supposed to be Castle Harkonnen as some kind of biomechanical thing.

>Duneworm eating a giant black dick
jesus, Giger

how much of a newfag can you be to unironically post this post

Such a shame that we got the Engineers and their city like they were presented in Covenant. Their research base and how it was designed looked genuinely alien and interesting.

Wait a minute, that's Cerberus from the Dante's Inferno video game.

I know this guy is a household name on this site. Still it's worth it to introduce him to any potential user who may not know this guy's work.

Never played that. Is it good?

that game was great. writing and level design really capture what hell is.

don't know how well it holds up though it's an old one

This one is weird.

pretty sure he could've done better

It’s headless plucked chickens dude

...

...

looks like a discarded district 9 sketch desu

but yes, thank god for giger.

I meant the book Dune

Ah, my mistake. Thought you were talking about the artbook.

Jaunty?

Jodorowsky's vision of Dune didn't have much to do with the book, so all the designs you see here that Giger made are more in line what Jodo wanted and Giger's typical style.

>work

...

Running out of the categorized alien art now. Posting random shit. Shit might get weird from now on.

>ThomasTheTankEngineDoesDMT.jpg

...

I should just upload the whole book somewhere perhaps.

>he thinks are doesn't contribute to society

Actually nevermind. Seems like there are more torrents of it now than when I was looking for it years ago.

Is that Dore?

It looks familiar

Doré yes, from Dante' Inferno

What is this movie?

Best alien movie ever

Fucking hell, some of his art gets too lewd to post, I think.

If only they'd had made the wooden planet Alien 3. Probably would've been the best trilogy in film history. Instead we're stuck with 2 great movies and a piece of shit.

The only good thing is the poster. And it's not even good at all.

...

Btw, iirc they basically tricked Giger into making that poster.

He apparently made some designs for Poltergeist 2 as well.

...

I would really only say one great movie honestly.

Aliens was fine as a dumb action flick but it hurts the integrity of the first film with more story exposition than it needed. Additionally, having the aliens appear in droves affects the individual image as a competent, independent killing machine.

Aliens was enjoyable, Alien had the depth and lore that refreshed audiences without really giving away too much.

I feel similarly towards the Terminator movies.

>some
It's all literally just dicks, boobs and other private parts with tubes sticking out of them.

weird seeing something more organic from him. reminds me of Francis Bacon.

I always thought Aliens was a fair evolution of the story. It was a different genre to the first but to call it a dumb action flick does it a disservice, it was more layered than almost any other movie in the genre.

Nice

There are some exceptions. Wonder if there ever was a situation where someone told him to cut down with the dick stuff after having hired him to do some concept art.

this is giving me some serious anxiety

very cozy thread, btw. thanks for posting these pics, user. Giger's stuff is always intersting to look at.

...

christ thats weird

it reminds me of the interior of the citadel in Half Life 2, just a lot simpler.
