The Giger Project

Alright! I don't feel like a complete idiot anymore! I got my pics to post! (Too complicated to explain here. PM me if you're having problems too.) Image 1: Me sculpting a roach out of chicken-wire covered with masking tape. All the detail is actually just masking tape rolled up or bunched up into body detail. Then I covered that with more masking tape. And finished it off with multiple layers of resin. I use the masking tape as the "poor man's" fiberglass. This is one of 3 roaches that help make up this piece. Image 2: Front view of roach. Image 3: The first roach is positioned behind a lower human mandible. The mandible and teeth are made with the same procedure as the roach. Image 4: The piece is one of my 13 "aural sculptures". They are sculptures that "sing" to you as you approach them. This piece (still missing the 2nd and 3rd roaches) is entitled: "Do the Roaches Really Want Nuclear War?" The first roach is the bartender, the molars are the bar stools, and the other 2 roaches (not yet pictured) are the patrons enjoying a toast. When you walk up to the sculpture, you trigger an .mp3 player that plays the tune I wrote (same name as the piece). The second roach is sculpted and skinned but not detailed yet. A 6 ft. ladder can be seen to the right for scale.

@ DB - nope, right click the image and get its URL that way and edit your posts

Thanks Snork. Heading to the desktop... stupid ipad.

Oh well, No luck on the pics. @Snorkelbottom: So those images you loaded absolutely rock! Did you create them for a game or something?

Db can you go back and edit your posts and just paste the link as plain text? Hopefully we could then copy it into our address bar and maybe see your pics until a staff member gets around to fixing them.

DB & Bio, I just checked the posts that Db put up and they're empty. I have found this to be a glitch that happens after editing your post and then updating. I will discuss this with Bughunter. Rick

@ Db, yeah they are for the PC version of Unreal Tournament 3, they can be downloaded from my filebucket account

love your work snorkelbottom some serious talent here as i thought some really creative people on this site take note hollywood lol

Biomechanic, those images are truly gorgeous and erotic especially the pointy tongued woman. The amber, shady creature ,the fifth, sixth, eighth and tenth pics are superb. Snorkel, your work reminds me a lot of Chris Foss, very impressive! Here's my stuff: [IMG]http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx151/Yipfat/Facehuggerpaintedwall7.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx151/Yipfat/GigerAlienSphinxheadface2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx151/Yipfat/EpoxyAlien.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx151/Yipfat/SpaceJockeypaintedupper.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx151/Yipfat/SpaceJockeyfirstcast2.jpg[/IMG]

My old profile pic, we meet again

here you go Starbeast. rather than post link to many pics, here is one link to all my works, you need to click here >[url=http://www.bluecanvas.com/gomodernart]my artworks[/url] and you can look thru the gallery that is labled "FUTURA" , and another gallery that is labeled "DOODLES" sorry, there are no direct links to individual galleries available on the Blue Canvas site that has my art you can click on the image page, and see each piece in HI REZ i must say, after seeing all the GREAT Giger-esque artwork on here, mine looks a lot more Ron Cobb inspired, and my work is traditional, rather than the great 3D digital renders, and Photoshop images that most of you fine folks have posted on here my artistic insecurity is on HIGH ALERT right now, but i thought i'd share, since you all seem to have the moxie

checked your work out shardy splendid stuff really liked it just more confirmation of great talent here.

Really nice work everyone! Snork you truly are a Renaissance Man... Dude; great artist, great writer... What else you got up you sleeve?

LOL, thanks DB, I write, I can create retail quality multiplayer maps with relative ease, naturally gifted artist (drawing not painting), scupltures (though not done any in a long, long time), oh yeah and a street fighter king and a gears of war veteran.

@alteresstate, glad you dig it!, i dig your ALIEN works too! =0) @ZetaReticuli: wow! really great work! @Snorkelbottom: really cool work!

Everyone is doing very nice work. I posted my twitdrawings before somewhere around here but here they are again in case anyone missed them. : ) [url=http://twitdraw.com/by.php?name=Bongobat]My Graffiti[/url] Keep posting everyone this is an enjoyable thread lets not let it die too quickly.

Snork Dorks Rule!

Nice work Ruhaniya but they are a bit small. Do you have bigger pictures of these you could possibly link to ?

[IMG]http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p495/dbshark94/SJ%20Costume/IMG_0345-1.jpg[/IMG] OK, now that I can upload pics (derp), here's the kicker... I live near Orlando, FL and my twin boys wanna' go to Megacon this year. It's only 2 weeks away and this is my idea for a costume. My wife going as Dark Phoenix, one of my boys is gonna' be a samurai, and the other one is gonna be one of those harnessed kids from "Falling Skies" (I made it for his Halloween costume last year). Here's my question: Do I have enough time to make an SJ (based on my sketches) using only about 4 hrs. a day? I want to put him in a "fat guy business suit" and carrying a very Giger-esque breifcase. I could post my progress on here, but I'm afraid of epically failing in front of you guys.

[IMG]http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p495/dbshark94/SJ%20Costume/IMG_0347-1.jpg[/IMG] This would be the head piece. I'll probably re-think the hands and feet and make them less "alien" and more stubby-SJ-ish.

"Stop yer grinin' and drop yer linen! This is for any of y'all who might of missed my Theron/Vickers transformation into a Giger-esque Lady-Alien...or Bio-mechanoi-Diva. Via photoshop composite and airbrush. Hope you likey! ~Neurion [IMG]http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb381/jmichinock/PROMETHEUScharlize-theron-directors-chair.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb381/jmichinock/PROMGIGERTHERON1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb381/jmichinock/PROMETHEUSTHERONBLK15.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb381/jmichinock/PROMETHEUSTHERONFACEHEAD5.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb381/jmichinock/PROMETHEUSTHERONFACEHEAD13.jpg[/IMG]

I love it!!

hey neurion your not allowed to give me a hard on great work very nice.

Thanx Clone 8! ~N P.S. Just between you and me...I think you were the most attractive of all your clones...HA! Some of your sisters...were real dogs. HA!

Why Thank you Neurion lol. Your GIF has got me turned on LOL. Just thought I'd throw that out there. People tend to tell me how hot Clone 7 was. [img]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111220154128/avp/images/d/d7/Ripley_7.jpg[/img]

@Alteredstate Hey...whatever happens biologically...or physiologically...is not my affair! Whooah! I just like to pass the ideas along... Thanx, ~N P.S. Crackin' me up!

@Ripley Clone 8 That's bullshit Number 8...don't you believe it! Number 7 was a Ragged-ass Baboon...with a terrible figure...bad skin...and fucked up teeth! Don't even trip Baby...you are the Prime "Jonesy" from the Auriga. LOL ~N

That means a lot Neurion lol. Glad someone notices me on this damn ship. My sister clones steal all the opportunity.

Neurion, LOVE the Theronmorph... (and your GIF!).

like your costume work db great ideas man think you can pull the jockey off .. go for it. and the roaches are superb you must have a very chilled wife not sure my gf would allow me to take up so much room but then i dont have your gifts.

@Ruhaniya some great line work there man the green goddess has kissed the sky lol great stuff.

Thanks alteredstate... (BTW, one of my all time favorite movies). I'll do my best with the SJ idea and post what I can. For the most part, my wife gets it/(me). She worked for Universal for a few years on "Seaquest" back in the 90's and was also a locations/casting person for other productions. She's more the writer/children's director-type, but tolerates the big bugs. Since then I've added an 8 foot spider in a 15 ft. web (that will eventually be holding a nuclear missle).

Wow DB you should open your own theme park you got talent, wish you all the best with the project. Yeah i love Alteredstates to i live down the road from ken russell who directed it and he died recently so its my tribute to him.

Cool neighborhood dude. Didn't know he died though, I never thought that movie got the props it deserved. Loved the concept... It's been many years since I've seen it... "he's an f-ing gallila"...
