So when I was working on the caterpillar, it struck me that I could do a biomechanical version. Obviously inspired by the work of HR Giger, so I named it after him
This variant is even more psychedelic due to a diet of dimethyltryptamine containing mushrooms…
… I saw all of the Alien movies but at that time was not into who the artist or creators were. But this Giger dude, what a brilliant artist. He consulted on Species, Poltergeist II: The Other Side, and took a shot at designing the Batmobile for Batman: Forever (the design was never used).
It was Alien that really put him on the map. Since then he’s done a lot of movie designs, several of which were never used
She is waiting for the caterpillar designs to be finalized
Yes, I will include Alice once I have resolved the aforementioned elements
I love the base version. In the darker version that caterpillar looks ready for one of those Hollywood movies like The Creature From the Black Lagoon.
This version is more geared toward the horror genre. If that isn’t your thing, you’d probably be better off with something like https://virily.com/art/caterpillar-materials-test/
No, Alex, I am into horror just not all the really gory stuff. Thanks for the link.
Gore is cheap, the real horror lies in the psychology…
You’ve never heard of HR Giger? It gives me hope that someday I will meet someone who lived their whole life without being subjected to picasso
Guess I have been living under a mushroom.
Or in Narnia, where I am sure his work doesn’t go. Until old Tash shows up, he could use a Giger influence in his design…
Indeed he could. I am still reading about Giger. So much to learn outside of Narnia.
Somewhere on the web you can find his advice for budding young artists and I was gratified to discover that I had been following it long before I had ever read that article
Incredible is what I think. I am a huge butterfly fan, which means I also love caterpillars. This one is on steroids. Ha! Seriously I have no idea about the artist you referenced. But you know I went and researched and his works are like wow! And then some. Your piece is very close to his. Excellent! The last one has to be my choice.
… I realize you are on a whole different level than the butterflies I speak of, just letting you know, that is where my level stops. Until now. You have me researching again. 🙂
