This time a comission work for a good friend of mine who is in love with the comic books by Jean Giraud aka Möbius. These comics have a certain style, on first glance very spacy and weird, but also a great subject to study and try something new. The sculpt by Romain van den Bogeart catches the comics really good and I was reading my way through four comic books before I started painting this homage.

My goal was to catch the style and weird look in colors and illustration style.

Hope you like it!

    I keep coming back to this, often.  The rugged skin tones speak very clearly, but the lighting play under the hat, to fill so much of what could be dead space is incredibly delightful.  Creates such a contemplative atmosphere.

    You have no idea what I love about this bust. It’s perfect, it’s ... Moebius in soul.
    The tones, the colors, the shadows, everything ...
    I am stunned and fascinated.
    It is not just a set of techniques perfectly carried out, it is to capture the very essence of the imagination of Jean Giraud.
