What concept or production art you like?
 
Pretty much I am for production art and animation. Have you ever seen the production art to the movie Alien? That is one of the most coolist concept art there is. I don't know if there are Boarders Books stores where you live but there is a whole book there on all the art for Alien. The first Alien of coarse. It's very dark and gothec. Also I like the production art for Star Wars by Ralph Mcquarey. Plus Any production art on Oddworld of coarse. That is what I am going to do for a career.

Do you mean H.R Giger's artwork? He was an artist in the 60's-80's who painted gothic and dark artwork, and his painting inspired Alien. He was pretty much the creator of the monster in Alien, and he drew the first design. (He didn't make the actual monster in the films, just created what it looks like... He was a painter, not a film puppeteer/make-up person) I really like some of his work, and you can see a lot of it here:

Also, as most know, I love surrealism! Yay! Dali...

Yea I have a whole book of his work. He is extrordinary. Could you imagine if he did work for Oddworld?

I have a book on the first alien film that mainly showcases Giger's work. His art is gorgeous. He's quite an unusual man, too, who wears long black robes.
