Description
This is a collaboration that I did with my two friends Jhon Lennartson ( this guy chricko.deviantart.com/art/IN-… ) and Alex Saavedra at art school in 2005.We share the same love for the art of H.R Giger and decided for the schools last exhibition to an Alien themed project.
The painting is two meters tall and one meter wide and is done with acrylic paint and airbrush on a wooden board.

Ohhh awesomee! I really wish I could try airbrushing T.T

Haha I didn't do the airbrush on this one, I only did the painting with a regular brush.
I have tried it but it was a bad airbrusher so it was hard to work with.
I did the sky on this painting using that technique.chricko.deviantart.com/art/ALI…

What's there not to love about H.R. Giger's work? The man was brilliant; I mean, nobody else can get away with saying that they've created the scariest alien monster in the history of Science-Fiction... Even today the common xenomorph still scares the crap out people the same way it did in the 70's...

He is like the bastard son of HP Lovecraft and Salvador Dali.
I wonder how dark and surrealistic sic fi culture would have been without him.

Did you hear about what happened to him? Apparently H.R. Giger died not too long ago...

I'm pretty sure Sci-fi wouldn't have been very dark or surreal at all, it would've still been like the Jetsons if H.R. Giger hadn't have stepped in...

Well there was Lovecraft with his weird dimensions and bizarre monsters that Giger was inspired by.
And then theres Aldous Huxley's BRAVE NEW WORLD from 1931 which to a lot of people is the first Cyberpunk novel.
But I agree that Giger played a big role in the development of the darker sci-fi and really gave it the looks that we see today.
Matrix, Event Horizon, Judge Dredd, Tetsuo, Ghost in the shell etc would probably have looked different (or might not even existed) whiteout him.

That part about HP Lovecraft is true, no doubt, that man's work inspired a lot of things in modern Horror, even today. I'm not familiar with BRAVE NEW WORLD though, but Cyberpunk, I've seen a lot of stuff on the Internet about that. I don't really have much to say about that though because I don't know too much about it...
So basically it goes like this: HP Lovecraft's work inspired HR Giger, while HR Giger's work inspired the development of Sci-Fi movies like the list you mentioned. So that means if HP Lovecraft never wrote his books, HR Giger would never have revolutionized the way we see Sci-fi and Horror like it is today... and the Alien movies wouldn't exist. That also means Alien vs Predator would never had been filmed either.
