I want to know who drew this. Thus far, this is what I have been able to gather:

http://i.imgur.com/CA8jdM5.jpg

  1. The work appeared I guess around 2012 or so on a few sites, the below being some of them:

    From 2013
    http://culturainquieta.com/en/arte/ilustracion/item/1304-h-r-giger.html

    From 2012
    http://geekinsoil.blogspot.com/2012/07/h-r-giger.html

  2. The work is said to be H.R. Giger's everywhere I've looked, but talking about it with some friends in our ScienceFiction/Fantasy Art group most agree that it is not.

  3. One member says that the style of this image is influenced by Giger, but the way it is drawn is reminiscent to him, of 70s/80s Soviet works he has seen before. He says

    > I can't find an artist for the picture either. Stylistically is looks Soviet Controlled Eastern European or Soviet Russian dating to late 70's early 80's. Look at how the female body is depicted. It is very reminiscent of the Eastern Europe/Russian styles of that time frame. Not a ripoff, but an example of the style commonly seen back then. I have some old Sci-Fi book covers by European Authors that have colorized versions of similar styles printed in the late 70's to early 80's. Those Soviet Block Artist would have been cheaper then Western Artist. I don't really see any trace of Giger other then a monochrome color palette. The helmet is also an outlier to Giger's style. The rest of the drawing is also off. The cables are too smooth, manufactured looking. The proportions of the female in the drawing are also off. Too blocky, almost as if assembled not grown. Too many oddities in one drawing to let me say that it is a Giger. Never saw Giger draw a women with "Man Arms". Even his Alien Females have a suppleness to them.

  4. About that helmet. Yes. That is a Gundam head/helmet. This is interesting, because Gundam came out in April of 1979. Ridley Scott's Alien came out in May 1979. I feel this connection, as well as the artists love of these two things was apart of the reason they created it.

  5. If you simply google image search it, most of the results that come up are another version of the image, used as the cover to a 2014 book called "Necronomicon ex Mortis".

    This book is strange. Reviews say that the hardcover version of the book has NO art in it at all, while the paperback version does. The hardcover version SEEMS to be a plagiarized version of the Simon Necronomicon.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Necronomicon

    While the paperback does feature a collection of H.R. Giger work (Necronomicon IV was the artwork that inspired Alien, and drew Ridley Scott to ask Giger to create more), I don't think they actually had the right to publish them. 1 star reviews say it is "print on demand" quality, with even the cover image being pixelated, in addition to images within. The title "Necronomicon ex Mortis" is taken directly from the film "The Evil Dead".



    So......WHAT is this?

    Who created it, and when?

    Did it originate on the internet, or was it at one point in print?
