Big +1 for November's Doom - The Pale Haunt Departure. The internal artwork is incredible as well.

Another is actually the internal artwork for Coheed and Cambria's latest album. brilliant.

Celtic Frost, To Mega Therion:

Also designed by H.R. Giger, the painting is known as Satan I. Here's the full thing:

He also did (as mentioned before) ELP's "Brain Salad Surgery" and the sculpture on the front of Carcass' "Heartwork". Damn good artist, he is.

Very cheesy and very obvious artist.

 

[CAIRATH]

H.R. Giger is amazing.

And what the hell does being an 'obvious artist' mean?

 

[affinityband]

It means that all his ideas are pretty much exact replications of real form from nature. Its boring to look at because its obvious to what it is straight away.

 

[CAIRATH]

I see. So to you any drawing or sculpture where you can see what it's supposed to be (which by the way is absolutely not what most of Giger's work falls under, but okay) is boring?
