A true visionary of the artistic community, who Hollywood never truly managed to utilise properly - or even with professional respect.

He may have given nightmares to generations, but here's hoping that whatever awaits in the afterlife is much more peaceful for him than the troubled dreamscapes which informed his work. That he's now in a happier place with Li and others who passed before him...

We have witnessed the passing of a legend.

An Oscar is fairly respectful.

God damn that sucks so hard.

I've been planning a trip to go to his museum and bar. I wish I could have gotten there while he was still with us. I will have to visit his grave.

This is a truly tragic day for all alien fans everywhere. Now a moment of silence for one of the greatest artist that ever lived.

Damn.

Your art will always be immortalized in the amazing movie ALIEN.

Rest in peace, H.R. Giger. You will be missed.

Stunned here . . . totally stunned. Earlier today I was admiring his work on a Google image search for the umpteenth time (even though I've already owned Necronomican I & II forever) and I happened to catch this depressing headline. All I could think of was "no, no, no". The man that was absolutely, without doubt THE most important figure in the "Alien" universe has left this place and I'm sad that there will be no more new nightmares for the fans he left behind.

I'm pretty stunned here as well. I love his work, his Space Jockey artwork is hands down my favorite thing he's done. He was truly one of a kind - other people have mimicked his style over the years, but only he could truly do what he did.

RIP.

Emerson Lake and Palmer's Brain Salad Surgery's LP cover was done by him too. Legendary album with artwork that is just as good as the music!

Never in the history of modern fantasy art had ever been such great, genius, magnificent and mad creator... (well, perhaps DalĂ­ too).

Rest in biomechanoid heaven, dear master...  :'(

And in light of today's reveal of the new costume, an ironic reminder of Giger's Batmobile design is included in this recent(ish) interview:

"I had to sell several paintings to pay for the castle. That was shit." :laugh:
