R.I.P. H.R. Giger

good bye, Mr. Giger,

Your drawings gave the world

the most terrible nightmares,

but we loved you for it!

H.R. Giger-ish

The artist H. R. Giger is dead at age 74. He designed the "Alien" from the movie Alien among many other things. I drew an Aliens mini series for Dark Horse back in the 90's, and I don't want to draw that creature again (it was exhausting)! I'm not really sure how to pay tribute to him in our weekly sketch, but as he created many odd creatures I decided to do the same. Here's an odd creature feeding on another odd creature.

Alien with a Conical Helmet

He looks a bit like a depressed grinch   ....oh well.

Congrats guys!!!

Alien 8

We tend to assume in our mammalian, carbon-centric worldview that alien life would make any sense to us at all.

This is a pencil drawing, photographed with my camera then tweaked with Gimp Portable. I'm still struggling to understand the basic of the Gimp. This is not helped by the fact that I have to do everything with a trackpad (arrgh!)

Alien...

In a space suit!

Some things are better not seen at work. Or anywhere else...
