Guy Builds Awesome Scale Model of Alien Space Jockey

Posted on by

H.R. Giger’s creations in the Alien universe are some of the most awesome, iconic and creepy designs in the history of moviemaking. Now you can own your very own Space Jockey, just like the one in the original Alien.

Artist Dave Tootill says he’s been working on this amazing 1/8th scale model for about 900 hours, spread out over over two years. Tootill made the Space Jockey sculpture using DAS modeling clay, plastic sheets, rods, tubes, dowels, a model skull, and other bits and bobs.

Once the sculpting was complete, Dave handpainted it – much like H.R. Giger did himself when dressing the set for the original film.

It’s currently for sale over on Etsy for just under $9,000(USD), but due to its size, Dave will only ship it to a buyer in the United Kingdom.

You can read all about the build and the effort that went into this incredible creation over on his Space Jockey website.

Sci-fi Hotel with H.R. Giger-themed Bar May Be Coming Soon

Posted on by

You may heard of Switzerland’s Giger Bar. They were put together by H.R. Giger, the artist best known for the incredible, but creepy designs for Ridley Scott’s Alien flicks. The bars mimic the style of those movies, but with alcohol. Too bad we don’t have something similar in the U.S. However, a Giger Bar could be coming our way.

Graphic designer Andy Davies wants to open a sci-fi themed hotel called… The Sci-Fi Hotel. It would combine a variety of classic sci-fi designs, but he wants a bar in it too of course. The property is being developed with the full permission and partnership of H.R. Giger, so it should be awesome.

As of now there is no definitive location that they have in mind, but apparently Seattle is near the top of the list, as well as New York, Chicago, San Francisco and New Orleans. Anywhere is good. Just build one here already!

Alien Xenomorph Embryo Plans its Escape

Posted on by

Have you ever wanted to have your own Alien embryo preserved in a specimen jar? Sitting on your desk? Of course you do. Who wouldn’t want one? It could be like a fun game where you sit at your desk, never knowing when it is going to hatch and kill you dead.

This amazingly detailed clay modeled Xenomorph embryo was created by Yanchuan111 from Shenyang, China – where people apparently don’t fear Xenomorph embryos like other mortal men.

It would be scary, but I would love to have this thing on my desk. The detail is really amazing. Kill it! Kill it now!

My Little Alien Pony: In Friendship, No One Can Hear You Scream

Posted on by

Each of us have different things that give us nightmares. For some people, it’s monsters, and for others, it’s cute little ponies. Now you can make sure every nightmare scenario is covered with the new My Little Alien Pony.

This monstrosity was created by artist Amy Ng, and it’s basically what would happen if H.R. Giger met Lauren Faust and they made a movie together. Friendship truly is Magic.

Measuring in at about 12-inches-long, it’s just about big enough that it could crawl down your throat and burst out of your chest when all you though you had was a bad case of indigestion.

The My Little Alien Pony pictured here is Amy’s original that she made a few years back, but she’ll make you one just like it just for you for $375(USD) – assuming she survives long enough to do it.

Alien Facehugger Skeleton Made from Real Bones

Posted on by

As if the facehugger from Alien wasn’t creepy enough, one artist has decided to go out and make himself a Facehugger skeleton. But this thing isn’t just a sculpture, it’s made from actual animal bones.

Artist Tim Prince of Forgotten Boneyard created this Alien-inspired piece entitled Parasitoid using the bones of a box turtle, mink, wild turkey, coyote, skunk and a mouse. Eeesh. From all of the different genetic material this thing has assimilated, you might say it was equally inspired by The Thing.

If you’re into freaking people out, you can put this creeptastic thing in your home for $1000(USD). Me? I’d rather sleep at night and not worry about this thing jamming its proboscis down my throat so it can implant an alien embryo in my stomach.

Alien Darth Vader Helmet: Ripley, Believe it or Not!

Posted on by

If Darth Vader were a Xenomorph, man, that would be one heck of a scary movie. Scarier than all of the Alien movies combined. Behold the evilness right here before your very eyes. Thomas Spanos from the ‘As You Wish Project‘ created this mashup of Lord Vader and a Xenomorph into one cool helmet.

hrg trooperIt even features Vader’s lightsaber as the secondary alien mouth. It’s called the HRG Trooper, named after artist H.R.Giger who designed the original Alien. It is terrifying and awesome.

If Ripley saw this thing she would have just run out of an airlock. You can’t fight something this awesome and insane. You just can’t win against Vader as an alien.

H.R. Giger Counter is Too Creepy to Use

Posted on by

Get it? It’s a Geiger Counter made to look like it was created by H.R. Giger. I don’t know about you, but Giger’s Aliens creations creep me out. Therefore I could never use this. I would be too afraid that it would eat me from the hand up. Just let the radiation kill me.

If on the other, you hand want to check for signs of radiation on some alien world, then this Giger Geiger counter is for you. The base radioactive sensor electronics were purchased from Adafruit industries and then modded into a xenomorph by Steve D of Mad Art Lab.

It looks pretty amazing, and quite scary. And yes it does actually work as proven in the video. Now you can be safe from radiation and freak people out at the same time.
