THIS IS IT THE SINGLE IMAGE THAT INSPIRED ALL OF THIS iF NOT FOR THIS PAINTING ENTITLED "Necronom IV" none of us are even here right now discussing Prometheus. It's subject matter was the Initial Basis for the very first film, one in which a Xenomorph Raping another Xenomorph or making love to it, we can't be 100% sure other than Giger insisting it's forceable rape, which he has... many many times...was the type of Bizarre and thought provoking content that inspired 4 more films and countless tinkerings with it's star attraction..."The Murderous Thief" !!!

And the other paintings of Gigers from the same series in the same book that inspired the film "Necronomicon" are as much, in some cases, as 100 times more sexually explicit.

i thought the movie was based on H.P. Lovecraft's Necronomicon, the same book that H.R. Gigers art book is named after.

ENOUGH with this "Xenomorph" nonsense. respect Giger and his art, and call them what he does "biomechanoids"

Beautiful artwork! (and yes, they are Biomechanoids not xenomorphs). Can't wait to see more of Giger's work made real in Prometheus.

@Spartacus: if i came off like a controlling douche-bag - i apologize, i'm sorry it just irritates me that Cameron's vapid influence has carried over to this new film, i know that's not gonna change anytime soon. i just like to keep things accurate, as they were in the beginning of all this stuff which has now become iconic in our eyes great pics by the way, they bring back memories of when i use to go on the hunt for all things ALIEN related at comic book conventions and sci-fi oriented bookstores =0)

Thanks for the great post Spartacus. I was seriously thinking how would it be possible to meet with the Master himself. Would need to stop by in Switzerland I guess :)

yea, those 3 last paintings really do show how "out there" some of his art was and why it is so intimidating to some people. Personally it fascinates me and I find it to be GENIUS like just in it's very conception.

I agree with you all: H.R.Giger is a real genius. And after seeing those pictures I am not surprised of one comment on Quadrilogy DVD's. I think is Dan O'Bannon who told that, in a meeting with Giger: he asked him where he finds his ideas for his paintings and sculptures, and Giger answered him that all those images where in his nightmares, who must be horrible. Then O'Bannon told him that all those images only exists in his mind, and Giger replied to this: "that's what scares to me..."
