The first picture is a rough design for one of the aliens for a Sega-Satarn horror-game called Deep-Fear.

A lot of the style designs reminds me of the Guyver anime.

Why's that?

You guys remember the version of Gigan that Bleedman did for Griddles some time ago?

Well, that version was designed by Yasushi Nirasawa too. I'll show you.

I believe it's the intricate details, They look almost like organic armor. And that's the Gigan from Final Wars too right? that was an awesome flick.

I've never seen that movie, but I heard it is good. Anyway, I've noticed that the version that Bleedman did here look's like a mix of the classic 70's version and the Nirasawa version.

Yasushi Nirasawa is a huge inspiration to me and my own artwork.
