GEEGER???, you're wrong man... unless you're saying every documentarie i ever saw of GEEGER they pronounce it wrong :p it is GUYGER ;)

niw for the artist, i thinks its very nicely done but i would try to make it look sharper (my opinion) but i did not see anyone do better on photoshop so big up ;) i've got a biomech sleeve on my arm myself so i'm really hooked :D

I just want to remind you all that this piece was done in 20 minutes using only the Adobe Photoshop airbrush tool. It was never intended to be sharp, but more ethereal as I stated in the first video, only to show very simple methods for anyone to take to their own art table and tinker with. I wasn't trying to replicate Giger, no matter how you pronounce it. Perhaps in the future I'll do a vid exploring crisper detail. I think this is simply a black on white primer.

sorry i take that back, there were a couple places i used the blur/smudge tool

[slavedragon]

wow, i've been saying it wrong all these years! thanks for keeping me honest :)

Nice!!!! Your video was very insightful for me. I love to sketch like that and have never used a computer to do it. I'm leaning to tattoo... and decided i wanted something like what you're drawing on my arm... so I was browsing through youtube and found your video. Very awesome and helpful! Thanks so much- you're an awesome artist!

Hi Jenkev3,

I appreciate that, and I'm glad that this opened some doors for you :)

[MrRemorseless]

Very insightful and fast! Thank you.

I've watched this video 4x's time now and right after the first time I went and tried this on paper with mechanical pencil it turned out great thanks for the tips on here it helped establish depth and texture too

[COV3RT1]

very well done great explanation of different art theories really helped out a lot thanks I've been doing this all the wrong way

[Deathknight1700]

Basic instruction VERY well executed! You've got a great, intuitive eye for organics, but you need to consider the term BIO-MECH more carefully. Giger excels in his art because he successfully combines a disturbing vision of organic structure AND mechanical (hence, a LOT of straight lines) objects. It's a simple matter of a deep appreciation of perspective that makes using straight lines a worthwhile addition to art.

Good work and you've got an excellent voice for narration.
