Similarly, you may ask, what was H.R. Giger inspired by?
He was part of the special effects team that won an Academy Award for Best Achievement in Visual Effects for their design work on the film Alien. His design for the Alien was inspired by his painting Necronom IV and earned him an Oscar in 1980.
Subsequently, question is, who did the art for Alien? One of the creative minds involved with the original film's set and creature design was Swiss artist H.R. Giger. Without Giger's unique artistic vision, Alien would not be the film it is. Giger's work on the film set the tone for every subsequent Alien feature.
Beside above, who designed the alien set?
The Alien and its accompanying artifacts were designed by the Swiss artist H. R.Giger, while concept artists Ron Cobb and Chris Foss designed the more human settings. Alien premiered May 25, 1979, as the opening night of the fourth Seattle International Film Festival, presented in 70mm at midnight.
What was wrong with H.R. Giger?
HR Giger, whose "biomechanical" artwork lent Ridley Scott's film Alien much of its terror, has died aged 74. A spokesperson from his gallery in Switzerland confirmed the news. According to the Swiss press, he died from injuries sustained in a fall on stairs.
