Very sleek indeed. Extremely cool work! I think I like this version more than the photoshopped one. Definitely captured Giger.

Well, it *was* created by Giger as a literal sex monster.

Beautiful Avix just beautiful. Unlike a lot of Alien painters on here you have stuck with Gigers original and it shows through. Great work.

Thanks! Yes, I used an original Giger sketch as reference, and modified it to my own ideas.

This is by far the most interesting painting of the Alien on Deviantart. You took the early concept and made it in something biomechanical.
Good Work!

I hate how people can only seem to draw ADI's peice of shit.

This is a nice breath of fresh air.

Thank you! But it was a nightmare to draw. I left it unfinished.

Yes, a light wash of black, with more shadow over the ribs and the head.

Tooblai In reply to avix [2007-03-20 19:51:36 +0000 UTC]

I can't imagine how the finished piece will look like.
More spooky with some dark shades maybe.

I've decided not to finish it; that's why I uploaded the unfinished version.

Tooblai In reply to avix [2007-03-20 20:00:35 +0000 UTC]

SO that's why it's not in the scraps.

Well....... yes. And I don't usually put up "scraps".

Scraps are scraps. And surely this is not one.

I inked it with a Rotring .30 technical pen, then coloured it in with a light wash of black. For the background, I used a 1/2" flat brush.
