Bad Sign Number Six Million And Eight

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Somehow, I find this picture by Michael Wagner to be one of the most magnificent and beautiful that I've ever seen.

No, I am not kidding.  The lighting, and the eye, and the contours ... especially the contours ... I could just get lost tracing its build and imagining it moving ...

I realized I was in trouble when I heard H.R. Giger say that he wanted his Alien creature to be beautiful, and I thought, "And you succeeded spectacularly, sir."  The thing is, his vision was influenced by opium.  Me, I'm like that without the opium.

But come on.  Unless you're my mom, how can you not find that thing gorgeous?

It is gorgeous. I can imagine a sort of bounding lope- a long-legged rabbit with both hind legs fused.

The Alien may be beautiful, but the Alien's mother is absolutely smashing. :)
