little old guy who’s paradoxically, extremely dangerous

Oh I see, you mean like the little chinese grandpa who turns out to be a grand master of kung fu when he is getting attacked.

And I kind of like it, frankly! You know, as opposed to the more common ‘look at me, I’m muscular and badass-looking’ character, which is kinda what Marvel/DC have flogged to death over many decades.

Absolutely, it´s a reason why John Difool is my favorite sci-fi hero!

So an artist might create half-a-dozen odd character designs to show the production-designer / director, letting the boss pick and choose elements they like best to create the final physical version of that production’s character. All very SOP and common in these cases. So you might even find a concept drawing in which Duncan is the shrimp, and Gurney, the big, imposing guy.

Makes perfect sense to do several different drafts to select the best one in the end, I did not think of that practice.

I’d love to have seen Jodo’s Dune

Me too! I don´t care that he would have changed a lot of things from the books, as long as there would have been no pugs and heart plugs!

Hahaha, only the slow blade will pass the shield and stab you in the balls!

Sorry no, you can´t claim some made up bullshit and then just nonchalantly move the goalposts to another planet when you get called out for it. You lied about pro-genocide propaganda being posted here and you should apologize to !johnny_enzyme@lemm.ee for that.

Agreed, we allowed this to go too far and for too long. I promise faster bans in the future, sorry for any inconvenience caused by our hesitation.

You are so hung up on seeing the world in black and white that all you got left is toxic and misanthropic hate speech. A well differentiated discussion about a topic as complex as the Israel-Palestine conflict is obviously not possible with you.

I could never forget Veggieman. He left a permanent impression on me as a child. However, I did not know Winter and find him even more charismatic!

I love about this one is/are the background color gradients. The blues, greys, yellows and browns. Really cool!

Yes, I noticed that too in many of his works. The color gradients of the horizon, especially the sky often fading from blue into orange/pink, are indeed impressive. When I compare those gradients to an actual early sunset I find them to be very close to a perfect depiction.

I really tried to stay out of the discussion but damn, that bs made me fucking angry!

First you claim to be against genocide. Then you write:

I will be watching with bated breath the day your society finally, rightfully falls.

What kind of mental gymnastics is that supposed to be? Obviously you are indeed in favor of genocide, as long as only Jewish people are the victims of it. Or what exactly do you think would happen to its Jewish citizens, if Israel were to “fall”, as you trivialize it?

From the book Chaos, by Mœbius

Copyright Jean Giraud & Starwatcher Graphics

 

I stumbled across this series while going through the Moebius art-book Chaos. Only info given is that it´s a series of commercial illustrations for Europe-Assistance. I did a little research and found out that it´s a travel insurance company based in Belgium. Further research revealed that the series was printed as a limited album, titled Europ Assistance : Une belle Aventure, for internal use at Europe-Assistance, as an exclusive gift. Nowadays it is a rare collectors item, sometimes sold privately for around 100€.

Beautiful 20-page album presenting Europ Assistance, its history and results, etc. The kind of (in-house) promotional document that will no longer be produced at this level: more than just illustrations, Moebius has created a real universe to accompany this presentation. Exceptional!

This reminds of Sur l’étoile, the exclusive short comic Mœbius did for the company anniversary of Citroën in 1983, which introduced the characters Stel and Atan and later became the basis for the beloved The World of Edena series.
