MOEBIUS

MOEBIUS was my final composition assessment.
I decided to devise a story based and inspired by the images of the late Jean Giraud, AKA Moebius. Split into three acts, each tells part of the tale. The first act details a lone wanderer in space searching for a distant planet. The second act shows him at a sandy bazaar, where he meets a female who guides him. The final act sees him on a desert planet in search of a temple, only to be stopped by a giant creature that gives chase.
As part of the assessment I handed in this video which uses his illustrations to help build the picture, as well as a storyboard with timing and camera shots.
Hope you enjoy! :)

A master of his art. People think there are no more masters, because they don't look.

[@RX552VBK]

One of my all time favorite SF/Fantasy artist. He changed my life. RIP Maestro.

[@mr.bloodvessel260]

More than any other comic artist you want to dive into so many of his images!! That's why it's so sad that he didn't go into animation.

[@alec2733]

Then theou should watch dragon's Heaven. It's an anime visually inspired by Moebius' style

He worked on Time Masters.

[@moussetache1815]

Not only did he work on Time Masters but he also gave us the small Arzak series. Not top tier animation, but still a very enjoyable experience, and a total immersion in his unaltered style.

[@biliwili662]

No estoy tan de acuerdo. Una expectativa de éxito centrada en la posibilidad de la animación como género o medio, es subestimar el valor de la narración gráfica o bande desinée como campo de imagen, en que tu cerebro se mueve de otra forma, contemplativamente diferente al cartoon... es un tema interesante. Moebius fue magnífico sin pasar a otro soporte tecnológico ...

[@MrPhotodoc]

I discovered Moebius around the time of the Yes rock band album art by William Dean came out. It's what propelled me into Art School and what keeps me interested in illustration even today.

[@helfmeyerglenn491]

His name is Roger Dean...

[@leannaerickson9745]

Thank you for bringing Moebius to light. This was a great way to look more deeply into his work. Your musical background was stirring and enchanting.

[@GarethWiecko]

Thank you!

[@jimhays2772]

I put Gir up there with the greatest artists of all time. He creates worlds and feelings from art as good as any.

His work was so inspiring he could visually tell a story with out words.

Read a thousand books and live a thousand lives. Spend your days working and your evenings with a blanket, a cup of coffee and some books. Hang the Do Not Disturb sign on the door and escape from real life for a bit. These are my 3 favorite art books: - Icon by Frank Frazetta - Lightstrike by John Zeleznik - Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

[@boxingfan5742]

I have the one at 12:14 signed by Moebius from a 500-piece limited edition, authenticated by Stabur Graphics. It's triple matted beautifully in matching deep blue, violet and light blue in a dark blue frame. I was a fan of his art since pre-teen and bought it when I worked in Miami's premier art supply/framing store, which also sold framed art, between '88 - '90. It hung prominently in my bachelor pad for years. Now I have a craftsman style home and, unfortunately, it doesn't really quite fit in. So, I may sell it in near future, since my kids never really got into that genre.

[@GarethWiecko]

Amazing! I'd love to own some of his original prints!

[@bevgordon7619]

Hi boxingfan5742. Too bad your kids don’t feel the passion and beauty M. evokes which would be nice for you to share together. And, dang! you have a signed, limited print of his! It’s sad to read you may sell it...if so, make sure (and i’m guessing you’ve thot this through) you do your research to be sure you get top dollar. Is there a Antique Roadshow nearby by for a free evaluation? Also, as for Art matching Home: you need a little cozy meditation blue and purple to match your print..oo, with glow in dark stars to also match. I found M. in Heavy Metal mag in early 70’s when I was in my late. Every page a treat to savour and not rush thru, enhanced by a joint or two. And of course all the other talents between the covers. [p.s. i dislike movie remakes, but if in the right hands, I would make an exception for a new Heavy Metal movie]. Cheers from Bev. in Canada

Faut pas trop suivre cette idôlatrie bétifiante des américains, ils ne connaissent rien à la BD européenne à part Moebius, d'ailleurs ils ne savent pas qui est Jean Giraud. Les premières BD de Moebius sont plutôt nulles et à part Blueberry il n'y a rien d'intéressant chez lui question histoires (L'Incal, c'est vraiement pas terrible). Oui c'est un bon dessinateur, point. Mézières, Ribera, à la même époque, étaient beaucoup plus complets et originaux, et ils servaient des histoires brillantes. Quant au Silver Surfer de Moebius, les avez-vous vraiment lus ? Dessin simpliste, histoires lamentables. J'ai gâché la fête ?
