The article explores the profound influence of artists H.R. Giger and Ron Cobb on the Alien film franchise, particularly highlighting their foundational roles in establishing its iconic aesthetic. Giger's unsettling visions and Cobb's practical designs set the tone for the original Alien movie. Their artistic legacies continue to inspire modern designers like Matt Savage, who refers to Cobb’s work as inspirational and achievable in his own projects, particularly in Romulus. The integration of Giger and Cobb’s designs exemplifies the lasting impact of their creativity on pop culture.
"I am afraid of my visions." Thus spoke H.R. Giger, the artist whose paintings led to him being engaged by director Ridley Scott to design the xenomorph for the first Alien film in the late 1970s.
Matt Savage, who went on to work on spaceship designs for Romulus, recalls, "As a teenager, I was obsessed with Giger and Ron Cobb's work... he's the big one."
