Giger does awesome work. If an alien race finds its way into New Eden, Giger is your man to design the ships! ==================================================
I should really get a sig. |

I think the esrb rating would go up a bit. Man has some kind of weird thoughts about aliens having sex with humans. I have some links, but think they would be removed by GM's --------------------------------------------

Dunno, some might be kind of hard on the game. Lots of polys if you ask me. |

The pictures of his "Bar" place make me think of the interior of the alien spaceship in Alien when they make first contact, you know where they're walking around and one of them gets a face hugger in the... well, face. It looks just like it. Cool.

It's primadonna, as in the Italian for "first lady," not premadonna as in "before Madonna."

Gallente ships always struck me as being Gigerian in design overall, all the way up to capitals. But you can take that too far, I mean if we let Giger design ships EVE will finally have a vagina to go with the Thorax.
Then the jokes will really fly.

Pfft... the EVE artists have created some of the best looking ships to ever grace a game.

Edited by: Amastat on 08/05/2008 13:39:19 I think the Jovians are moreso the most Gigerian influenced ships in the game rather so than the gallenteans. Gallentean ships seem like they are more-so organic-abstract then Gigerian.
You could maybe debate over Sansha designs maybe having some Giger in it, however I think even if it is - it's a distant member of the family. ____________________

I'm convinced the Moa was actually a totally different model which got corrupted somehow, and the designer just went with it.

Okay what a minute. What previous work has Giger done that would indicate he could design something better looking than a Moa? Seriously. Point me to one Giger piece with an architectural theme that would make greater sense than the unexplainable asymmetric Caldari ships.

CCP please don't.
I like all your designs, even the new Jovian shuttle.
And although the Moa and Osprey are a bit ugly, they're tolerable.

Forget Giger. Too expensive and his style isn't that special anymore, considering he hasn't really changed it much in the last 20 years.
Rather go with more affordable, more innovative and yet more affordable people like Clint Langley. I'm quite sure he could add more "life" to the Rogue Drones for example.  -------- Ideas for: Mining Clouds

that, or it was the result of a designer being drunk, drawing up the designs for the Moa and upon realization of what he made just said, "**** it, put it in".

Geiger?
I have to say I'm somewhat opposed to boats looking like an enormous phallus or some sort of angry fetus.
More art-deco Gallente ships I could totally support though.

Get the Eve artists to make the models for the ships linked in my sig and I'll forgive them for the entire Caldari line of ships.

Giger really is an amazing artist. He can be a butt to work with, though.
Case in point:
The rock bank Emerson, Lake, and Palmer comissioned him to do the cover art for their album 'Brain Salad Surgery'.
See that shaft of light along the throat? That was originally a phallus. ELP decided to try to use the art anyways, but the record companies said no. It was obscene. So, they went back to Giger and said, "Can you fix this for us?" He refused to make any changes at all to his work, even though it would have to get tossed out otherwise. Eventually, ELP had to hire another artist to airbrush the phallus into the shaft of light that exists today.
You can hear the band talk about their experience with Giger (including his "hand toilet") on recent releases of Brain Salad Surgery. The last track is an interview with the band and a very interesting listen if you enjoy ELP's music.

that is arguable.
the fact that they also designed some of the worst looking isn't.

i think its perfectly acceptable (even for lesser artists) to say "**** you" to such a demand. he did his job, and if the tied up record company cant cope with a ****, hey, they can always hire a photoshop slave to "airbrush the ***** into a shaft of light".
i really dont see why an artist needs to cope with such mundane tasks. it wasnt exactly a menu for a diner he designed but a full blown whateveryoucallit.

SO he likes scribbling *****es and things to do with sex on his drawings for huge sums of money and to be controversial, big deal.
He still sounds like a right twaddle, even for your typical overrated eccentric artistic type.
We already have a Thorax.

yeah, maybe, dunno, i was just referring to that example. i never heard him talking.
but i saw a lot of his work, from the time around alien. im that old. and as far as i can remember it had some really nice, dark stuff. and apart from a weird "hybrid fetus" i dont recall anything even remotely related to reproduction or the required organs.
might as well be he needs his weird alien **** fetish to get such dark stuff done.
you know, if he wasnt an arse, he would probably draw kittens.
