This is amazing! Did anyone notice in Prometheus, that some of Giger's art for Dune was used? The domed structures (the first of which the Prometheus team entered) were based on Giger's concept of Harkonnen architecture.
@@aliensoup2420 His designs for Dune came first, I believe. I cannot remember if he was tapped for work by Jodorowsky on the aborted Dune project from the early 70's (which would've had Pink Floyd doing the music for that version).

This could be an unpopular opinion. This artwork is nice but it is nothing HR Giger would approve. It’s almost too pretty on the eyes. Giger is all about pain and suffering.

Yes, all of that intricate structure and flamboyant design is impractical for the desert life in Dune. It looks good for a video game, but totally distracting for a film drama. Its like an art director on drugs, "Give me more pipes, tassels, and filigree".
It would be appropriate for the design of the Harkonnen’s world & culture. The sand worms looked absolutely demonic in these images. In the books, Some of them are meant to be but most are meant to be seen as manifestations of God
Hmm, interesting seeing this new AI take on Dune. HR Giger WAS contracted by Jordorowsky to create concept art for Dune, there is already legit artwork from the 70's. It's really bizarre, but I would expect nothing less. I think some of his influence did eventually creep into the 1984 dune, specifically some of the Harkonnen set pieces. They look very Giger-ish to me.

Well, it‘s kind of Giger-stylish. But if you know more of his artworks - e.g. from the Necronomicon and rhe already mentioned images for the Dune movie - you see the large gap between the output of an AI program and an artist.
@@khrom_ai except Vladimir Harkonen, nothing really scream Dune...there are deserts and creatures, but it's not even close. Also, there were so many things that could have been drawn in Giger style (Bene Tleilax Axlotl Tanks for example) and didnt. This looks more like Farscape, not like a true Dune... but interesting concept.

Yes, that's correct! H.R. Giger was indeed involved in the original design process for Jodorowsky's unmade adaptation of Dune, where he created some hauntingly beautiful and grotesque designs for the Harkonnen homeworld. While that particular film project was never completed, his designs were later incorporated into the 1984 Dune movie directed by David Lynch. It's always fascinating to see the enduring influence of Giger's unique style.
@@khrom_ai Yup. Really awesome. I was in some Giger exhibition in Vienna and they also had the Harkonnen table and chairs from the movie there. Before that I didn't know he had actually produced anything for the movie except concepts
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled that you appreciate the level of detail and character designs in these AI-generated artworks. It's fascinating to see how AI can bring a fresh perspective to well-known stories and universes. Stay tuned for more exciting projects!
Last year we were blown out by AI doing great drawings, now it is photorealistic images. At this rate, anyone will be able to make a full movie with prompts in just a few years I'm sure. Matrix was a documentary
if only everyone could ALSO write good stories and learn acting... because we already have enough bottom level movies as is, barely not drowning in them, imagine so much bad movies you'll never be able to find a single of the few good ones hidden amongst all the dregs anymore!!?.
@@ringsaphire maybe it won’t be people doing the writing. You could ask « I want to watch a good adventure movie » and the movie will be generated in a few minutes, and based on everything you watched, said and liked

Honestly, watching this video felt like a truly seismic moment for me. It made me realise something profound that I hadn't really realised before. For some reason with this video - because I've seen AI produced art before on YT but it didn't hit me like this did - I suddenly grasped what AI will do for the future of art. The power of AI really became apparent. And the implications terrify and entrance me. Can you tell me a little of how you curated these images? I want to know how much of your human eye was used to sift through bad images and pick the good ones, because that is directly related to how good at its job the AI is, and if you have to sift through a lot of rubbish to arrive at images like this then it's less impressive - so part of me is almost hoping you tell me that you did a lot of curation and cherrypicking, because then the implications for human artists and human art aren't quite so terrifying. Also, I'd love to know what parameters you need to set in order for the AI to spit out images like this. Do you just feed it a big dataset of Giger and Dune artwork and then press a button? Or do you have to set certain parameters, certain framing decisions, where certain objects are in the shot etc.? Amazing video, whatever your answers are. I'm genuinely shaken.
Hello The Sprawl, Thank you for your thoughtful comment. We're thrilled that our video had such a profound impact on you, giving you a glimpse into the future of AI and art. In creating these images, we used Midjourney, an AI image generation tool. We experimented with various complex prompts to generate the initial outputs, based on a dataset of Giger and Dune artwork. It took several attempts to achieve the desired images that aligned with our vision and some postprocessing in photoshop. Our human touch came into play when curating the final set of images for the video. We carefully selected the most suitable images from the AI-generated outputs. This process highlights the synergy between AI and human creativity, where AI serves as a tool to assist and inspire artists, rather than replacing them. We're glad you found our video amazing, and we appreciate your curiosity about the process. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or concerns. Thank you for your support!
@@khrom_ai I really did find it amazing. For some reason - maybe because Giger's work sank into my subconscious at an early age with Alien(and I thought Villeneuve's Dune was visually extraordinary too) - this video was qualitatively different in its impact from any of the other, similar AI videos I've seen. Thanks for the explanation - that was what I suspected. It confirmed my beliefs about what artistic creation and good art really is, and to me it has to be some form of communication between conscious beings, with intents. If there's no intent behind something, if it's just a pattern that the wind blew in the sand, then it just doesn't qualify. It could be an extraordinarily beautiful pattern but it wouldn't count. And that's what a purely AI-generated piece of art would be: a pattern in the sand. Without at least some form of human curation it fails. It has no intention or meaning. So there's a part of me that's quite confident that art isn't in trouble. But this video still made me very uneasy. Something in my worldview wobbled a bit.
Это точно.!!! Ваш комментарий единственный, который убивает всех Дюнофилов наповал. Риддик - это первое, что рисует воображение. Absolutely, fuck, Right!!! Total kill all Dunephiles.
Speaking as a professional artist who spent years developing the skills to create convincing visual images, I'm stunned by AI's capability. By the end of this century every form of physical and mental activity will have been overtaken. What are we going to do then?
Peter, I understand your concern, but I believe that AI and human creativity can coexist and even complement each other. Instead of seeing AI as a threat, we can view it as a tool to help artists enhance their work or explore new creative avenues. As technology evolves, it's essential to adapt and find ways to blend our skills with emerging tools, ensuring that human creativity remains at the heart of art.
Not at all bothered by how these were generated as I suspect a very talented human directed the program to generate these. All the best major films have been using computer tools to design the amazing visuals we now take for granted in well crafted movies, commercials and video games. Kudos to whoever created these images. Looking forward to the upcoming generation of amazing artists.
If you are not bothered, you are likely simply not aware. I used the think the same. Or you don't care which is fair enough. In the hope that you might just not be aware, I hope you'll watch this: ruclips.net/video/tjSxFAGP9Ss/видео.html

@@khrom_ai Thanks for the reply. I'm curious how much of the artistic result is from your effort, imagination and creativity, and how much of it was the result of the AI? In effect is it just a powerful software tool, or does the AI really have any innate creativity and imagination, in your opinion?
Thank you, Marv _! We're thrilled that you like this version of Dune. It's always exciting to explore new interpretations and perspectives. We appreciate your support and will continue to create engaging content!
Visually appealing, but it doesn’t work as Dune for multiple reasons. There are no clouds in Dune, only scorching sun. Where are the harvesters, the carryalls, the ornithopters, the city the Atreides lived in, the spaceships? Also, I have seen about 1 worm. There is nothing Dune about it. It’s just some H.R. Giger art with a desert background, that’s all. Where are some characteristic or recognisable scenes from the film or the book?
I tried to create some of the components you mentioned, the results were not good. I hope to improve this with the next update of the AI. Regarding the clouds, oh man you are right, I did not notice this. Thanks for your constructive comment!
Bingo! Até que enfim alguem cita as discrepancias da obra de F. Herbert do resultado das artes propostas. São visualmente interessantes mas não representam Duna. Acho que Duna não foi absorvida. Quem está comentando também não conhece a obra e o conceito do universo Duna. Um monte de bobagens vazias de pessoas que não leram Duna e estão posando de grandes especialistas! KKKKK! Sabem nada! Bingo! At last someone cites the discrepancies in F. Herbert's work as a result of the proposed arts. They are visually interesting but do not represent Dune. I think Dune was not absorbed. Those who are commenting also do not know the work and the concept of the Duna universe. A bunch of empty nonsense from people who haven't read Dune and are posing as great experts! HAHAHAHA! They know nothing!
There are harvesters and ornithopters in this video. I agree with you though, this world contains far too much superfluous protruberance. The Still suits would be economical with materials for weight and mobility. A fold in the outer shell would be to radiate heat or protect a joint, not just be cumbersome and pretty. The body hugging conformity was a biproduct of functionality first, not badassery. That was the job of the suits' inhabitant.
Holy shit, these are amazing! The Giger-Version of the Worm is so cool! - Also it has that "uncanny valley"-AI-vibe to it, to works brilliantly for Dune and Giger! That golden Skull Mask is also SAF!
@@khrom_ai because the clothing worn in most pics would not be wearable on a hot desert planet. This does not apply to the rest of the galactic empire where it is fine. The other thing is that there were no intelligent "aliens" of none human descent in the galaxy that some pics May depict. There also appears to be a "robot" which would not be allowed under Butlerian law.
There is a 1980's, I think, movie called 'Looker' that has the premise of scanning famous actresses, using AI to make their ads and such, then killing the original all to save money. Back then it was SciFi, now they don't even need an original... XD
That's an interesting observation, Ignatius! The nature of AI-generated art often leads to unexpected resemblances. It's great to hear your perspective and how you're connecting the artwork to other iconic characters. Thanks for sharing!
@@khrom_ai you could be in the production department for series like "Alien" or "The Mandalorian", designing costumes or generating images for StageCraft. Your work is amazing!!!.
One of H.R. Gigers designs for the Harkonnen Castles in Jodorowsky's Dune was used in the film Prometheus, but there again he designed so much for the Alien franchise.
I love his art work! It goes beyond gothic. He has gone beyond the human mind set. Broke the barriers of thought. With him there are no limits. Love it always. 🥰👍

This looks amazing and horrifying at the same time, like a nightmare in the desert. It does seem much more like a different dark fantasy/horror/sci fi setting and not Dune's practical setting technologically speaking. Inspiring.
Stunning prompt/AI work thanks for sharing. Imagine going back even just 10 or 15 years trying to explain our current A.I. situation and what it can already do to people. Now we’re on the precipice of text to movies and beyond. Feels like we’re living inside a movie. Exciting times.
Thank you very much. I always like to remember back 15 years, that's when I discovered Terragen for myself and spent hundreds of hours creating landscapes with it. Back then I thought the results were awesome too.

Yeah, there’s a reason his art was primarily supposed to be for Giedi Prime in Jodorowsky’s Dune.
For the Harkonen yes.... But also for some other great houses and for the Spatial Guild!
But you're right... To much complexity for the desert life of the Fremen.😂
Dune & H.R. Giger together! Beautiful and awesome!
Thank you so much!
I love these creatures! Dune is owned and done - they need their own story!
HG's art designs totally embody the sinister, amazing. Even AI synthesizing his work comes up with some killer designs.
Those images are something else. Really love Giger's work and also anything Dune related. To put them together is pure genius.
Thank you!
But its NOT Gigers work,m just images based on using his work without authorisation and spewing crap out.
Giger did art for dune
I have to disagree - while artistically it looks amazing it contradicts the feeling of the work of F. Herbert. Or, at least, this is how I feel it. 🙂
Check Gieger's original art for the Dune movie then.
As a kid who grew up on dune (and I've also read all of the books)...that amazing art blown my mind! Stunning 🤩
that makes me very happy ❤

also Jean Giraud aka Moebius

How are you gonna use it for screensaver, pls?
BEST HR G inspired production I've seen! Hands down beats all the classics and a little bit of Riddick in there
Thank you so much SlimBim 🥰
Well, it‘s kind of Giger-stylish. But if you know more of his artworks - e.g. from the Necronomicon and rhe already mentioned images for the Dune movie - you see the large gap between the output of an AI program and an artist.
But that's exactly how it's allowed to be. No one will ever be able to copy an artist exactly.
@@khrom_ai except Vladimir Harkonen, nothing really scream Dune...there are deserts and creatures, but it's not even close. Also, there were so many things that could have been drawn in Giger style (Bene Tleilax Axlotl Tanks for example) and didnt. This looks more like Farscape, not like a true Dune...
but interesting concept.
This is just beautiful. FANTASTIC WORK!

Well done. Dune is a classic ! Congrats on the AI ART
Hello Ai Real,
Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted that you enjoyed our Dune H.R. Giger video, and we agree that Dune is a classic. Our team is passionate about exploring the possibilities of AI-generated art, and we're thrilled that our work resonated with you. Your support means a lot to us, and we hope you continue to enjoy our future videos!
Giger designed the Harkonnen furniture in the 1984 movie
Yes, that's correct! H.R. Giger was indeed involved in the original design process for Jodorowsky's unmade adaptation of Dune, where he created some hauntingly beautiful and grotesque designs for the Harkonnen homeworld. While that particular film project was never completed, his designs were later incorporated into the 1984 Dune movie directed by David Lynch. It's always fascinating to see the enduring influence of Giger's unique style.
@@khrom_ai Yup. Really awesome. I was in some Giger exhibition in Vienna and they also had the Harkonnen table and chairs from the movie there. Before that I didn't know he had actually produced anything for the movie except concepts
Great work on this, the level of detail and character designs are very impressive 🙏👊
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled that you appreciate the level of detail and character designs in these AI-generated artworks. It's fascinating to see how AI can bring a fresh perspective to well-known stories and universes. Stay tuned for more exciting projects!
Totally stunning imagery
Thank you!
Aesthetically, this is the best AI rendition I ever saw. Bravo bruh!
This really means a lot to me, thank you
Fantastic art work! The detail in the suits, worms, vehicles, & buildings/structures is 'next level'
Done by a computer...
Last year we were blown out by AI doing great drawings, now it is photorealistic images.
At this rate, anyone will be able to make a full movie with prompts in just a few years I'm sure.
Matrix was a documentary
You'll get that right.
you're already in the Matrix... this is just a system update
Hands where I can see it :)
if only everyone could ALSO write good stories and learn acting... because we already have enough bottom level movies as is, barely not drowning in them, imagine so much bad movies you'll never be able to find a single of the few good ones hidden amongst all the dregs anymore!!?.
@@ringsaphire maybe it won’t be people doing the writing.
You could ask « I want to watch a good adventure movie » and the movie will be generated in a few minutes, and based on everything you watched, said and liked
This is the kind of Dune I wanted to see. Thank You.
Thank you so much for your kind words, S P. V.! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our reinterpretation of Dune. Your support encourages us to keep creating and exploring new artistic possibilities. Stay tuned for more!
Ginger (Giger) did some sketches for Jodorowsky's project of Dune. He was in charge of the Harkonnen looks. That's how he got a job in Alien.
Did you see his awesome designs in the „dune bible“ storybook? So cool!
But which Ginger? There are so many.
@@defundhollyweird8675 😅 well spotted. I must correct the auto-corrector.
The conceptual arte of HR giger is: "THE BEST"
You are absolutely right!
These images were Beyond breathtaking. Take it from somebody who read the books this truly brings them to life.
Very nice words, thank you very much!
Awesome ! Impresive ! I have no words ...
Thank you so much, Soyouz1080! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the video. It's always a pleasure to create these pieces and see such positive responses. Stay tuned for more!
Honestly, watching this video felt like a truly seismic moment for me. It made me realise something profound that I hadn't really realised before. For some reason with this video - because I've seen AI produced art before on YT but it didn't hit me like this did - I suddenly grasped what AI will do for the future of art. The power of AI really became apparent. And the implications terrify and entrance me.
Can you tell me a little of how you curated these images? I want to know how much of your human eye was used to sift through bad images and pick the good ones, because that is directly related to how good at its job the AI is, and if you have to sift through a lot of rubbish to arrive at images like this then it's less impressive - so part of me is almost hoping you tell me that you did a lot of curation and cherrypicking, because then the implications for human artists and human art aren't quite so terrifying.
Also, I'd love to know what parameters you need to set in order for the AI to spit out images like this. Do you just feed it a big dataset of Giger and Dune artwork and then press a button? Or do you have to set certain parameters, certain framing decisions, where certain objects are in the shot etc.?
Amazing video, whatever your answers are. I'm genuinely shaken.
Hello The Sprawl,
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. We're thrilled that our video had such a profound impact on you, giving you a glimpse into the future of AI and art.
In creating these images, we used Midjourney, an AI image generation tool. We experimented with various complex prompts to generate the initial outputs, based on a dataset of Giger and Dune artwork. It took several attempts to achieve the desired images that aligned with our vision and some postprocessing in photoshop.
Our human touch came into play when curating the final set of images for the video. We carefully selected the most suitable images from the AI-generated outputs. This process highlights the synergy between AI and human creativity, where AI serves as a tool to assist and inspire artists, rather than replacing them.
We're glad you found our video amazing, and we appreciate your curiosity about the process. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or concerns. Thank you for your support!
@@khrom_ai I really did find it amazing. For some reason - maybe because Giger's work sank into my subconscious at an early age with Alien(and I thought Villeneuve's Dune was visually extraordinary too) - this video was qualitatively different in its impact from any of the other, similar AI videos I've seen.
Thanks for the explanation - that was what I suspected. It confirmed my beliefs about what artistic creation and good art really is, and to me it has to be some form of communication between conscious beings, with intents. If there's no intent behind something, if it's just a pattern that the wind blew in the sand, then it just doesn't qualify. It could be an extraordinarily beautiful pattern but it wouldn't count. And that's what a purely AI-generated piece of art would be: a pattern in the sand. Without at least some form of human curation it fails. It has no intention or meaning.
So there's a part of me that's quite confident that art isn't in trouble. But this video still made me very uneasy. Something in my worldview wobbled a bit.
אין כמו אימא בעולם!!!!!!!!!!!
FANTASTIC WORK!!!
This makes me really proud, thank you!
I don't know if all of these images work for Dune, but they definitely would work for Chronicles of Riddick and the Necromungers.
The next to say this. Should I make a video about that too?
Это точно.!!! Ваш комментарий единственный, который убивает всех Дюнофилов наповал. Риддик - это первое, что рисует воображение.
Absolutely, fuck, Right!!! Total kill all Dunephiles.
lo vuelvo a ver hoy y sigo alucinando. Muchas gracias.
I have you to thank for watching. Can you do anything with my other clips?
These were created by AI? This is mindblowing! Giger's creations always appear to be living, even the static stuff. Love this.
Thank you ❤
Great images well put together.
Thank you Nick!
I thought this was a new video game or something omg it looks insane so beautiful all the photo's are so good
Thank you so much for your lovely comment
Le queda muy bien!!!¡un estilo futurista y algo inquietante.😮
❤❤❤❤los topteros son algo feos!!!y algunas mascaras dem 5:03
Love the novels and love the movie. But this art style is incredible. If the movie looks like this, it will be fantastic. Great job...
Thank you so much ❤
So graphics are awesome!
Thank you!
Speaking as a professional artist who spent years developing the skills to create convincing visual images, I'm stunned by AI's capability. By the end of this century every form of physical and mental activity will have been overtaken. What are we going to do then?
Peter, I understand your concern, but I believe that AI and human creativity can coexist and even complement each other. Instead of seeing AI as a threat, we can view it as a tool to help artists enhance their work or explore new creative avenues. As technology evolves, it's essential to adapt and find ways to blend our skills with emerging tools, ensuring that human creativity remains at the heart of art.
אין כמו אימא בעולם!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome dune concept art.. the imagination is brilliant
That makes me glad, thank you 🙏
Giger's style makes everybody look badass!
Oh yes :-)
It is not Giger's style.
Brilliant work!
Giger made every science fiction project he was involved in better
if you like his style, then of course yes
Giger is one sick puppy ,but this Dune is something else!
Not at all bothered by how these were generated as I suspect a very talented human directed the program to generate these. All the best major films have been using computer tools to design the amazing visuals we now take for granted in well crafted movies, commercials and video games. Kudos to whoever created these images. Looking forward to the upcoming generation of amazing artists.
I've seen a few of these Geiger/Dune creations, and they are all very different. I like the detail in this one. Astounding.
If you are not bothered, you are likely simply not aware. I used the think the same. Or you don't care which is fair enough. In the hope that you might just not be aware, I hope you'll watch this: ruclips.net/video/tjSxFAGP9Ss/видео.html
Thank you, Joe! We appreciate your open-minded perspective on the collaboration between human artists and AI technology. We agree that blending human creativity and AI can lead to incredible results in various visual mediums. Your support and enthusiasm mean a lot to us, and we're excited to continue exploring the potential of AI-assisted artistry! 🎨🤖
Hi, The Generalist! We're thrilled that you appreciate the detail in our Giger-inspired Dune creation. It's fascinating to see how different artists interpret the same concepts, and we're glad our interpretation resonated with you. Thank you for your support and kind words! 🎨🌌
@@khrom_ai Thanks for the reply. I'm curious how much of the artistic result is from your effort, imagination and creativity, and how much of it was the result of the AI? In effect is it just a powerful software tool, or does the AI really have any innate creativity and imagination, in your opinion?
Amazing how just being outdoors makes it less creepy than the older works.
I have been saying AI was going to get this good this fast for a long time. Yeah, folks payin' attention now, huh? This is freaking AWESOME!!!
😝
Wait until ai takes over your life. Not gonna be fun n games
Wow! This Dune version would be great!
Thank you, Marv _! We're thrilled that you like this version of Dune. It's always exciting to explore new interpretations and perspectives. We appreciate your support and will continue to create engaging content!
Visually appealing, but it doesn’t work as Dune for multiple reasons. There are no clouds in Dune, only scorching sun. Where are the harvesters, the carryalls, the ornithopters, the city the Atreides lived in, the spaceships? Also, I have seen about 1 worm. There is nothing Dune about it. It’s just some H.R. Giger art with a desert background, that’s all. Where are some characteristic or recognisable scenes from the film or the book?
I tried to create some of the components you mentioned, the results were not good. I hope to improve this with the next update of the AI. Regarding the clouds, oh man you are right, I did not notice this. Thanks for your constructive comment!
Yes, and we need to see at least one ornithopter in these pictures.
Bingo! Até que enfim alguem cita as discrepancias da obra de F. Herbert do resultado das artes propostas. São visualmente interessantes mas não representam Duna. Acho que Duna não foi absorvida. Quem está comentando também não conhece a obra e o conceito do universo Duna. Um monte de bobagens vazias de pessoas que não leram Duna e estão posando de grandes especialistas! KKKKK! Sabem nada!
Bingo! At last someone cites the discrepancies in F. Herbert's work as a result of the proposed arts. They are visually interesting but do not represent Dune. I think Dune was not absorbed. Those who are commenting also do not know the work and the concept of the Duna universe. A bunch of empty nonsense from people who haven't read Dune and are posing as great experts! HAHAHAHA! They know nothing!
There are harvesters and ornithopters in this video. I agree with you though, this world contains far too much superfluous protruberance. The Still suits would be economical with materials for weight and mobility. A fold in the outer shell would be to radiate heat or protect a joint, not just be cumbersome and pretty. The body hugging conformity was a biproduct of functionality first, not badassery. That was the job of the suits' inhabitant.
This is just some biomechanical style stuff, but there's no Giger anywhere.
Holy shit, these are amazing! The Giger-Version of the Worm is so cool! - Also it has that "uncanny valley"-AI-vibe to it, to works brilliantly for Dune and Giger! That golden Skull Mask is also SAF!
Excellent art but does not work as Dune in most cases
why do you think that?
@@khrom_ai because the clothing worn in most pics would not be wearable on a hot desert planet. This does not apply to the rest of the galactic empire where it is fine. The other thing is that there were no intelligent "aliens" of none human descent in the galaxy that some pics May depict. There also appears to be a "robot" which would not be allowed under Butlerian law.
Fantastic work!
Imagine an entire Dune movie being made by AI like this. I think its possible within 20 years.
More like two years. Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow was done almost entirely CGI and green screen and that was 20 years ago.
I think you will see this happen in the next 5-6 years
There is a 1980's, I think, movie called 'Looker' that has the premise of scanning famous actresses, using AI to make their ads and such, then killing the original all to save money. Back then it was SciFi, now they don't even need an original... XD
That’ll be the death of cinema as we know it.
@@SeanHogan_frijole That’s what was said almost 100 years ago when the talkies began.
One of the characters 3:42 reminds Skeletor from "Masters of the Universe".
That's an interesting observation, Ignatius! The nature of AI-generated art often leads to unexpected resemblances. It's great to hear your perspective and how you're connecting the artwork to other iconic characters. Thanks for sharing!
@@khrom_ai you could be in the production department for series like "Alien" or "The Mandalorian", designing costumes or generating images for StageCraft. Your work is amazing!!!.
This is awe-inspiring, thank you.
GREAT and best wishes to HR Giger and all the fans, especially in Gruyère, Switzerland.
Hell, I never visited his bar 😭

It's not the Dune we deserve. But it's the Dune we need!
That makes me proud!
One of H.R. Gigers designs for the Harkonnen Castles in Jodorowsky's Dune was used in the film Prometheus, but there again he designed so much for the Alien franchise.
I love his art work! It goes beyond gothic. He has gone beyond the human mind set. Broke the barriers of thought. With him there are no limits. Love it always. 🥰👍
I'm very glad you like them. Thank you for this kind comment.
אין כמו אימא בעולם!!!!!!!!!!
yeah I love his artwork too. AI imitations not so much.
The reimagination of the Dune world with Giger's artwork through AI, a fascinating combination. This meeting of creative styles brings forth a completely new world, full of innovative and mesmerizing possibilities.

That's how Alejandro Jodorowsky's movie would have looked like if all his ideas weren't stolen from him in the 70's.
I would love to watch a movie like that!!!
It's great to hear that you're intrigued by the idea of a movie inspired by both Dune and H.R. Giger's unique style! The combination of these two worlds would certainly create a visually striking and memorable experience. While there's no such movie in existence at the moment, the artwork and imagination inspired by this concept can still be enjoyed and appreciated. Who knows, maybe one day, someone will create a film that brings these two worlds together!
That last shot of The Baron - WOW!
I can literally imagine that being In Dune. It would have been perfect for it.
Hi Mike! We're glad you can envision these images fitting well into the world of Dune. It's fascinating to think about how H.R. Giger's unique style could have contributed to the atmosphere of the story. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and enthusiasm! 🏜️🎨
Dune done in Giger style would be a block buster to beat all blockbusters
The old Dune from David Lynch had a lot of Giger style and for the never released Jodorosky film he did some of the artwork.
2:46 must be the scorpion!😂
To quote Lady Jessica from Dune Part Two. "The beauty, and the horror."
No one does it better than Giger. No one.
This is pretty special!
Thx!
This looks amazing and horrifying at the same time, like a nightmare in the desert. It does seem much more like a different dark fantasy/horror/sci fi setting and not Dune's practical setting technologically speaking. Inspiring.
Stunning prompt/AI work thanks for sharing. Imagine going back even just 10 or 15 years trying to explain our current A.I. situation and what it can already do to people. Now we’re on the precipice of text to movies and beyond. Feels like we’re living inside a movie. Exciting times.
Thank you very much. I always like to remember back 15 years, that's when I discovered Terragen for myself and spent hundreds of hours creating landscapes with it. Back then I thought the results were awesome too.
Great phantasic art!
Thank you so much!
