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!

 

Since the thread got upvotes by the majority but only comments from a few party poopers who were obviously not appreciating me sharing this great find with you all, I decided to lock it. I just don´t have the nerve for that kind of shit today.

Hej hej, fellow comic art enthusiasts! I am quite excited to show to you what I just found. While searching for a good digital copy of Jodorowsky´s legendary Dune script, I stumbled upon this incredible analysis of the script, made by the fine people of www.duneinfo.com. It seems to contain the full or at least a big part of the script (in varying image quality) and does a great job at summarizing Jodo´s version of the story en détail. The article presents an insight into this mystical project, which I and probably many of you, have never had before, enjoy! www.duneinfo.com/unseen/jodorowskys-dune-uncovered

I will keep posting selected images from the script, in the future. Here´s an example:

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.

 

Nice use of historical design elements imo, they also both look like hippies, lol. I wonder why he made Gurney so short though. As far as I remember he was never called short in the books, right?

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.

Simply nothing of what you (and other hexbears) claim has happened here. You guys seem to instantly turn off your brains and jump to false conclusions once you see anything related to Jewish people living their lives. The posted comic in fact depicts an argument between two Jewish neighbors, one from Europe, one from North Africa. Nothing in it is dehumanizing Palestinians or even touching the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Read the material from the first post again, this time slowly and carefully and you might still get it.

Oh man, this is probably going to escalate quickly :c

Indeed, could not be more sensitive. I hope people will stay on topic and be cool.

That is a very misleading headline. Carpet bombing over 30.000 civilians to death is not self defense, not even close to it.

 
 

You never know what will happen on a first date -_-

Trailer

This is the best sci-fi I have seen for years, and I do not mean animated sci-fi but sci-fi in general! The beautiful artistic style of the show is heavily inspired by the art of Moebius, Hayao Miyazaki, Philippe Druillet and Alexandro Jodorowsky and also references such beloved classics as AKIRA, ALIEN and many more. Please watch it on Netflix if you can, it will increase the chance of a second season of this masterpiece getting produced. The ones of you who have already watched it, what do you think?

 

I had almost forgotten about this gem, after reading it decades ago as a kid. In hindsight, Chninkel had a strong impact on my developing love for comics, quite comparable to The Incal and AKIRA. While the drawings are not as perfect as the work of the grandmasters Moebius and Otomo, the narrative of Chninkel hits even harder imo. Twelve year old me was especially triggered by the oppression and injustice of the scenario and I still remember being stunned by the hard struggle the little protagonist has to endure. NEVER GIVE UP LITTLE CHNINKEL!
