No offense dude, nice work. Airbrush? It has way too many Giger nuances, or pretty much direct rip offs from his work. -
![markkens]()
You\'re saying it\'s your original work? -
![jase]()
I like it. And it IS his original work. Geiger didn\'t paint it so it not Geigers. You should Check out Beksinsky, or Fuches, then you can tell Geiger he ripped them off. Art begets Art. -

So whats the point if hes come from 93 and before then, all the works are referenced. And still are. I dont think Michaelangelo would be Michaelangelo if he copied Davinci. More like a muralist sadly recreating Davinci with stacks of Davinci books by his feet. get the drift? -

Thanks Guys, I have thousand of pieces that I haven\'t uploaded yet. I\'m relatively new to email and internet, my friend takes care of all of thi stuff for me but if you want to see more of my work, please viit my webite. www.kdmatheson.com I will have my friend upload more full sized work, for some reason they chose this piece out of the 5 or so pieces that I had my friend upload, I think that when I tried, the pieces were too big to upload so I will ak my friend to take care of it so you can see that I do much more than Gieger or Fuches referenced artwork. But I do take that a a compliment. ThANKs KD -

Sorry guys, if u look at it and compare, its Giger. If anyone takes themeselves seriously as an artist wouldnt rip off this directly. The monsters, the grey tone, airbrush strokes, spikes, architectural smooth snake like bodies, metamorphosis of the snake bodies to the monsters and such; its direct rip offs. Soo direct its as if he picked up the books and made references while painting. Other artists, or for example Giger as stated before may have borrowed ideas but like all serious artists made it their own with fresh ideas. Their own signature style. This one here has a signature style but its not yours. Referenced artwork isnt art. Neither as a compliment. Referencing something already printed and made over and over is a done deal. New art is fascinating and real. Ok, I may be harsh. Im sorry if I am, but it would be more recognizable for u as an artist to not waste time recreating rather than creating. -

Figment, I respect your opinion, I honestly don\'t intend to rip off anyone. I honestly do take it as a compliment that someone would compare my work to Giger, sorry if that bothers you. You should understand that this is only a clipping of the entire piece. It\'s less than half the size of the rest of the piece, not that it would influense your decision. I\'ve browsed through some giger and Fuches; however, this isn\'t ever my inspiration. I don\'t sit with a book and think how I can alter these works to be my own. I don\'t own any art books at all. I\'m too busy painting. This particular piece was one of an era of b&W airbrushed works that I did well over 15 years ago. I\'ve tried to submit more work for people to get more of an idea of my style, because it really is a unique style if you could see it all. I literally have a couple thousand pieces from sculpture to Airbrush, to Pen and pure painting, Painter and Photoshop. Perhaps, this piece looks a like Giger to you, I made it so long ago that I don\'t remember all the stuff I was thinking about when I made it. It is definately real art and in fact, for sale. Sorry you feel the way you do, soon I will hopefully have more of my pieces uploaded so that you can get more of a broader taste for my art. In the meantime, if you wish, you can check out my website that my friend put together www.kdmatheson.com . I haven\'t been able to have him keep it up to date and I just have no idea how to do it myself but it has enough works for you to possibly feel differently about my perspective and the way I do things. I welcome all comments good or negative and I just would like to thank you for taking the time out to critique my work. It\'s fascinating to me to hear anything about it because I literally paint all day and unless I\'m working on someone\'s wall or a storefront, etc... I don\'t really hear too much about it except from my friends and they are biased, or they actually love my works. I have been compared to Giger, Fuches, and a couple others before but like I said, I do take it as a compliment. All of my work is original, you will not find a copy of any sort from any other artist. If it looks like Giger then that\'s how you perceive it and I take it as a compliment. Once I really got into color, things really changed dramatically for me and I sincerely hope you like some of my color pieces better. I don\'t resent anyone\'s opinion, I enjoy hearing about it so please feel free to compare but make no mistake about it, all of my work is self inspired, I see it and I paint it. I don\'t look at other\'s artwork for hours or anything like that before I take on a piece. I\'m not a ripp off artist by any means. It\'s all just what I see in my head while painting and I extend upon that. You should understand, I work on 3 to 4 pieces at a time, my walls are covered with works in progress that I address when I see a new element or get a new idea. It all comes from within, not from any other infulence, even my portraits. Thanks for your critique. Sorry you are unhappy with my single piece that you\'ve seen. I kind of wish that the editors would have picked a more recent color piece as my first on the gallery. I hope you feel better about the 30 other pieces I\'ve submitted. Take care for now and no offense taken. Kindly, KD Matheson -

Ok its cool, im happy I presented my opinion. And I respect all my fellow artists, so in a drawn out conclusion Kudos to you my friend. I really hope u didnt take my talk as an attack, but merely like a \"table conversation\". It reminds me of the other artist. This is all.. And I have seen ur other works and i still can say there is an influence. But who isnt influenced??? No one. --Fgmnt -
![markkens]()
KD, I\'m blown away by your website! Not to beat the dead horse, but some of your work could be put in a Giger catalogue and no one would know the difference...yes, I think you\'re that good. If you paint what you see in your head it scares me that there\'s some dark force out there putting ideas & styles in both your heads... ;-) -
![underworld]()
Makkens, Thank your positive feedback, sorry I\'ve been so busy lately that I haven\'t had time to log on. Yeah, I get plenty of feedback about having some dark force connection who guides my hand. It\'s ironic. I really hope someday to be able to do plates for film production. I\'ve done some good stuff with PS and painter but the little pad I have makes it frustrating to use. It\'s very disorienting and hard to get used to but if I had a Cintique that I could paint directly on the screen, I\'m sure I could get really into Painter and churn out very detailed film plates in a couple hours. I can see how the process could exponentially increase my speed!!!!!!! I\'d appreciate any advice on how to get more involved in doing that. I know I need to make a reel but I have no idea which pieces to put on it???? If many people compare my work to Giger, I might as well design the looks for the types of movies that Giger did and make Giger dollars!!!!!!! Thanks again, KD -
![underworld]()
You actually joined today and post your first post just to insult me? What a crock. KD -
![choimation]()
All I can say is WOW! This is actually pretty awesome work. I checked out your site and your other submissions and I\'m surprised you don\'t have more work up here. For those of you who think that this is a rip off you must be jealous or insane because this is very complex art and even though it is abstract, it definitely has it\'s own style. Just because it is detailed, odd, and B&W doen\'t mean it is a ripoff. I\'m really surprised that anyone would think this is a ripoff of anyone\'s art considering that most of the art on this forum looks like something someone else has done, very conventional, or dull. At least this is original and albiet interesting. I\'ve also taken the liberty to look up your submissions. While I hasten to point out that those of you who have really unnecessarily criticized this guy he has at least posted 7 or 8 pieces of intense work that looks like it took weeks to make. How many have the idiots that have given you such terrible critiques posted? Zip zero nada none, LOL HAAA Just a pack of jealous ninnys! Man, don\'t let any of these \"no talent bozos\" get you down dude, you are wayyyy too talented and it\'s obvious that when people sign up and make their first post just to criticize you that they are jealous idiots. Keep on trucking dude and please add more of your recent work to the WIP gallery, it\'s f\'in awesome! I just don\'t think too many people understand how much goes into what you do. I\'m no where near that level and there are probably a lot of jealous people out there because when the editor puts a piece up here they get really nasty sometimes, picking it apart piece by piece because their piece didn\'t get chosen. Please post more! Best of luck, Christian Choi The Choimation Image Factory, Inc. -
![Figment]()
Choi oh boy u dont know what ur talking about. I rip off is actually better off as a nothing btw, no jealousy here I would have told him the same if he was standing in front of me. And for the no posts, just u wait. Good research Choi, but as far as research in the art is quite lacking or u as an artist is also in huge question if u think this original... But being part of the art community I would take being criticized, but i know as a fact it wouldnt be for direct copies off of somebody elses work. Keep trucking Choi! -
![choimation]()
OMG, you have me shaking in my boots fig. Actually I\'m laughing my ass off because you don\'t have any idea of what you are talking about nor do you have any references of \"art\" to back up you being a master critique as you obviously think you are. You probably think Modrian is great art. This is by far not a rip off and displays some very skilled traits in an artist. Considering it was done in 1993, I\'m sure the artist has come a long way since then. You\'re just a nutter who has no idea what their talking about. I\'m sure it was you who signed up just to post that again. Do yourself a favor and get a life man. \"Oh boy, just you wait\" I\'m waiting, what are you gonna do, critique my critiques? LOL CC -
![Figment]()
Why put skill in something already done? And done with skill? Im denying skill here, just subject matter. I have many works sitting in my basement i did in f\'ing basement i did in highschool. Point is skill is put towards something original not a done that thing. Not even that but referenced piece by piece. If u think referencing is original then im flabbergasted. -
![Figment]()
not denying* his skill, hes good, but confused greatly. -

Figment, You are only makin yourself look unprofessional here because you have A. Set uo an account only to further yiour obssesive critiqe of my work and B, you have spammed this thread with nothing but negativity. When you critique someone\'s work, be professional about it, don\'t keep added more and more to it, spamming 3 mesages in a row counters your point, people will only see you as a derilict. I\'ve been a professional artist for over 30 years, that is,I\'ve made my living soley off my sales anc commisions of art. This is my original artwork and not Gigers. Giger does not own this and I doubt you could quote one of Giger\'s Paintings that supports you claim that this is a rip off of Giger. I\'ve been prfessional enough to support your opinions and critique of my work, I would expect the same professional courtesy from you. You\'ve stated your opinions, several ties and through an aliased account, then you delted that acount. I would expect you to be professional and delete you spam because it really makes you look very unorofessional. I don\'t know why you are so obsessed, quite frankly I don\'t care. This is my final resonse to you. Mr. Choi, thank you for the support, I couldn\'t agree with you more. I appreciate the Job offer and I look forward to meeting you. Thank you, KD Matheson -
![Figment]()
I can find the exact works i speak of. But that would be wasting my time. I dont care either really, i kept it as friendly as I know how. I didnt delete any account? Its no spam just someone with enough reason to let u know, this is all. Im done here too, i didnt mean to insult u I have lost track of things when ive been told off by captain Choi. I dont deny ur skill KD, good work. And i continue to have respect with anyone in the art community. The thing that struck me was the likeness of ur work. Thats all. Good evening mr KDM -
![underworld]()
Figment, now I know why you call yourself that, because this is all a figment of your imagination. You cannot find any such works from Giger, this is a totally original piece and I will challenge you to find the exact works and if you can, I\'ll personally pay you $10,000 USD. If you can\'t you can pay me $5,000USD. How out it? Willing to wager a little on your false claim? 2 to 1 odds, not bad. I will make sure that mr Giger knows about this shoud you try to fake another alis aor post a webpage with my piece on it, furthermore should you do such a thing I will take legal action against copyright infringment as this piece is copyrighted digitally by adobe. Any derivative of it whether broken up, recompressed altered or capture via screen will retain the Adobe digital copyright mark so if you try to do anything like you did when you signed up as another user who critiqued my work and when discovered by mr choi that the account was created that day soley for the purpose of critiqing my work, you acknowledged this. You later deleted both the acount and the acknowledment of making it and now deny that you have ever done such a thing. People like you a sewer scum only to be left at the bottom of the barrel for the whole of your life because you are a derilict. Stop spamming, you only look like an incredible fool. With every post you word, it makes you look more and more retarded or mentally disabled than the prior one. My advise would be to delete all of your rediculous posts claiming that my art is a ripp off and save your reputation while it is intact before I bring this to the atention of the WIP forums, and the moderators. Good Day, KD Matheson -

Nope, now u directly insulted me so ill show u the rip offs im talking about for free. No wager, i dont think losing 10000 is to ur benefit. First of all I kept it freindly and I excused myself when u thought i was allitle of color and then we agreed to keep it nice then laid off, but their not spam, its my opinion. I keep this going becuase i find it interesting u give no indication or admitting that there are some huge influencing factors. So ill gladly waste my time on this when it should of died out already, and the fact u keep provoking the situation without any light at the end of the tunnel doesnt help. I offered my opinion, then someone opposed it then i offered counter arguments. I am truly sorry if I over stepped, but you must tell me please stop I heard your opinion. But u didnt so here are some links where I feel U lifted some elements. Further more no need for any infringement, not that low. But if Giger were to hear anything it would be about the things u may have lifted, on purpose or by coincidence. Dear Kmd, I already stated nicely you are indeed an artist and a very good one at that. Here are elements that directly match.

Holy crap! I was just looking at this period in history called the Renaissance, and i swear to god, they were all copying each other! Figmant, your a joke, get a life and stop being such a hater EVERY artwork is in some way, to some extent, based on something else. and there is nothing wrong with that. someone before me wrote \"art begets art\" If he made it, put in all the effort, its original and unique. My comment about the renaissance above: every period in art history has been comprised of styles, techniques, forms etc that are unique to the period. If KD makes an image in the style of giger, then get over it. The sun will come up tomorrow either way, you\'ve gained nothing from wasting our time other than wasting your own and making your self look like an idiot. And don\'t try and make yourself look all flash with \"you just wait\", it just sounds like \"I\'ll get you next time batman!\" and batman always wins :) Kudos to you KD Dan -

I admit i have wasted time on this, im done, no artist that imitates can take their own work serious. done -

What if Batman wasnt really batman I ask and then batman wakes up to find all these little Batmans running around flapping their capes. Ive wasted my time I do admit, but I dont think myself a fool. Its a point I continue as ritualistic as a cup of morning coffe. Ciao. -
