WOW - just WOW Nathan, the amount of depth and detail which has gone into this piece is incomprehensible! You may have topped Giger himself...

now you just need to add a huge ding-dong..

Whaa??

 

[MrRabba]

Dude that is utterly incredible! Speechless!!

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

If this was in my collection, I think everyone would hear me scream ... with pride!

That is seriously gorgeous, man. Fantastic work.

That Marty is just completely stunning, it automatically takes me right back to my childhood when I look at it. Just an all-around incredible piece of nostaligc art. Bravo.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Woot Woot. I dont want to boost your ego more so Ill just say I hate the pose since you didn't sculpt it.

Hey, screw yo...oh, uh, thanks?

Somewhere in the universe, Giger just shed a tear as he couldn't have done it better himself! And in space, no one can still hear you scream...! INCREDIBLE...! This should be in the Giger Museum!

My goal was to bring Giger's museum piece to me, so I'll call that mission accomplished then. Thanks.

Ah yes, Necronom IV, the painting that convinced Ridley Scott that Giger needed to make that very creature for Scott's movie. Now that I see that pic again, it amazes me how muck of Giger's art detail really went into the Big Chap design, not just structurally, but in the paint design as well. I studied the movie references very carefully to capture what they really did, but really all they did was try to capture Giger's art in a real life form.

now you just need to add a huge ding-dong..

I added the elbow spurs, but when it came to the dong addition I played with the idea long and hard and came to the conclusion that is was best left untouched (even though it sort of made an appearance in the movie when the tail was put on the front of the body for the landing gear bay scene).

 

[SilentSurfer]

So much goodness in this.

____ing magical...

Dude that is utterly incredible! Speechless!!

Thanks guys. I'm happy it meets with fellow Freak approval. At the end of the day, that's what justifies the time I put into it.

Thanks. Right now I'm screamin' "thank God that's done!" And my wife is in the other room screamin' "stop screamin' that, and get back to doing commission work!"

Is there even a word for everything that's wrong with Geiger?

 

[SilentSurfer]

Genius? Mad? Both?

Oh, forgot perverted.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Some more shots with a different backdrop to show a more natural appearance like I see it in person.

I've often seen Alien collectibles with silver nails, and it sometimes looks like they may be, but really they are just basically a foggy, white translucent acrylic, so I tried to capture that.

 

[Deckard]

Holy cow. That's amazing.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Thanks. Here's a couple more.

 

[Peteskywalker]

Nathan you really are the master at this. How you are able to create that skin effect using acrylics baffles me

This makes me even more excited to see prometheus

 

[stshammgod]

Bravo man! Looks just "wet" enough too. Phenomenal work Nathan!

 

[shocktrooper_au]

Can tell you really enjoyed painting the alien....amazing can't see one part you rushed or got bored with

 

[a-dev]

Thats pretty stunning. I love that effect, I don't know what you'd call it but its most prominent on the collar bone/shoulder thingies. It all looks very accurate, pity the HT figure didn't look like that. Decent paintjob as I recall but the sculpt was way off.

 

[uscmhicks]

That's just ridiculous !. Amazing work !.

 

[zuckuss77]

Genius? Mad? Both?

Oh, forgot perverted.

I think all artist have a little of this in them , but that man does like genitals.
Awesome silent surfer , surprised everyone loves that classic sculpt , i would love to see you work on more alien works or Prometheus stuff.

 

[kenobiobi]

Fantastic Nate! Would be cool to see how you did that veiny, mottled skin effect. These pics really bring it out, and I keep staring at it, but I can't fathom how you did that all by hand.

 

[elar]

Man....this is so AMAZING! I still looking for HT Big Chap...and after seeing your I don't know, if I want him more (because design of this...is phenomenal!) or less (because HT version is really poor next to your!!!). This statue is really Holy Grail!!!
