Tribute to H.R. Giger

Description

News of Giger's death struck me, like many of you, to the core. After all, he was, and remains to be, paragon artist so many of us were inspired by. I will not speak of his influence and legacy - those are for everyone to see. 

I knew it will happen eventually, and I knew what shall I do when it happens. But even though I had it in plans, I simply wasn't ready. How could I know when Giger passes away? Two days ago I was watching 'Jodorowsky's Dune' documentary featuring him,  and he might have been dying the very same minutes. 
News of the day to come were hard to take. With bitterness in heart I began doing what I had to do. I lacked skill to make my tribute to great artist look decent; I lacked knowledge of how to make it look like my eidolon's works; I had to shift my graphic in order to be able to work on it. Yet giving up was not an option. I respect Giger way too much.

Rest in peace, Hans Ruedi Giger. If there's something beyond, you're with Li Tobler now, and if not - you're forever in our memory.

Gorgeous shading but I especially love the composition of the image: the various elements really merge well together, making the scary figure of the alien change from something to fear to something to prove empathy for. That's a really great work!
