Overview
H.R. Giger is a Swiss artist more commonly known and associated to his work on the first Alien movie, but he is an accomplished painter, sculptor and designer. His most prominent work in the video game industry was on the Dark Seed franchise, which was inspired on his works. Then there's also of course the Aliens vs Predator franchise, which naturally uses his Alien design.
