It’s super pretty. and would go into my list of movies that are more Heavy Metal the movie than the Heavy metal movie. (along with Light years, Wizards, Fire and Ice ,Time Masters and Tron)
(from Light years AKA gandahar)
If I was gonna be super critical, my most cynical view on it is that they brought together some amazing designers to have them redo the kind of stuff that they’d already done in The Incal and Valerian. It could’ve been interesting to see where they went if tasked to do something that felt unlike anything else–
Tron is a cool example of a Moebius designed movie that does things differently from his comics.
But that said, I think the characters and scenes are fantastic. I loved seeing Tricky in it (I was soooper into his Blowback album) and Chris Tucker was amazing. –also Jamaican guys burning weird creatures off of space ships. –I feel like if you cut open James Stokoe’s heart you’d find those guys inside.
I really like the
Jean-Paul Gaultier costumes for 5th Element– (
Gaultier also did great costumes for City of lost children)
these two are drawn by Jacques Rey.
There was also a thing at that time where it seemed like a lot of (3?) European movies were coming out with the Leeloo hair.
Run Lola Run
And comic artist/Film maker Enki Bilal’s Tycho Moon
Here’s some 5th element designs by Sylvain Despretz. (who I think of as a more technical Moebius– his film work is worth looking up)
And of course Moebius being Moebius.
Here’s a nice video I saw recently with Moebius and Jean Claude Mezieres about their work on it: It’s too sweet.
and this one is about Moebius and Despretz, that I have yet to watch but hopefully will remember that I posted it.
Issue #2 of THEE ASTRONAUT has just come back from the printers! I have to give it to Kablam, the book looks great…
Except…
Pages 22 and 23 (splash page) os off by a little bit. I hate to have them fix this, but it looks bad and unprofessional.
I hope I can have them fix this without charging me…
Brand new competition that could see YOU getting your art published in 2000 AD - and paid for it!
Some of the biggest artists in comic books got their break at the legendary award-winning 2000 AD – and you could be joining them!
Our new art competition - 2000 AD Art Stars - is your chance to get into the pages of 2000 AD AND get paid for it!
Star Scans have been a staple of 2000 AD since its earliest days: single-image pin-ups of the greatest characters in the galaxy, from Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog to Dan Dare and Rogue Trooper, drawn by some of the best artists in comics from Brian Bolland and Dave Gibbons to Jock and Liam Sharp!
Every four months, we’re giving artistic Earthlets the chance to submit Star Scan pin-ups based on 2000 AD characters – and the winner, chosen by the editorial team at 2000 AD, will be published in a future edition of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic. PLUS they’ll be paid for their art!
Each four months we’ll announce a new theme and Earthlets can submit their art direct to the editorial droids. Our editor will choose their favourite image for publication. Plus, a runner up will be chosen by public vote and receive zarjaz 2000 AD graphic novels! This is your chance to follow in the footsteps of some of comics’ greatest artistic talents and, who knows, maybe break into the industry yourself!
To submit your Judge Dredd-themed 2000 AD Art Star entry now, email the artwork as a 300dpi jpg image (no bigger than 10mb in size) to 2000adartcomp@gmail.com
