I’m honoring one of the art world’s G.O.A.T this week, paying tribute to the late H.R. Giger who passed away 10 years exact to the date. The reason why Giger was such an important figure to pop culture art is because he established the basis of the “biomechanical” style that would influence countless (and I meant countless) future artists small and large throughout the entire world. Any horror / sci-fi movie you’ve seen since you were born has had some type of rooted influence in its design from something Giger created decades ago. In turn, those influences also inspired comics, manga and video games. For me of course, Giger was the grandfather of the “sexy horror” concept that eventually would turn into the modern-day monster girl. A bucket list goal of mine is to eventually make a pilgrimage to the H.R. Giger museum one day when visiting Switzerland for the first time. The lovely xenomorph you see above is drawn old school style by the artist Oleg Bulakh. A fitting tribute to a legend.
So funny thing about monster girls if you will indulge me. Not surprisingly, my love of them is not shared by most folks in the world. Some might call it a fetish, while others might call it just straight out weird. But there’s no denying it’s gotten a lot more popular as of late. As a matter of fact, monster girls were one of the first things created in mass when AI art started getting popular due to people’s morbid curiosity of how the algorithm would handle awkward requests. I’m definitely glad to see more of them coming into the world, and if you want to see some awesome examples of them, please visit the monster girl reddit for all your scary inspired horny.
I’m going to spread the love here a bit with doing two community things. The first one is a video from FG3000 above, since it appears the man is back bringing all the excitement gacha games rightfully deserve. All content creators bring something to the table, and FG3000 for sure brings in the positive energy. The second thing is answering (in-depth) a comment our friend NoidsEdstrom had made in last week’s video regarding intellectual property. It’s a long listen, so if you’re interested in the subject - feel free to check it out at the end of the audio blog for this week.
