More Moebius colouring...

More Moebius colouring fun.  Not totally done with all these pages yet but just couldn't face all that stuff in Difools room.  I'll get around to it someday...

Learning from Moebius

I've often found that one of the best ways to really study an artist is to have a shot at colouring their work.  Moebius is someone that's always good to have a look at and I've been a fan of his work for a long, long time.  Of course colouring him is going to be a challenge since he does really leave alot of interpretation up to the colourist.  I've chosen, as usual, to (mostly) stick to flat colours and not to do any colour holds with the line work.  The single exception to the all flat approach in these pages is that second page where I succumbed to a couple of gradients.  

It's been fun spotting the continuity glitches with clothing that crop up with this strip.  For instance, what happened to DiFool's hat in page 8 panel 1?  Not to mention the stars on the sleeves of his jacket which appear, disappear and re-appear with great regularity...

The art here, of course, does not belong to me...  It's drawn by Moebius and written by Joborrowsky.

High Pilot: No. 1 all over Heaven!

Also unpublished and unfinished, here is a High Pilot story from a while back...  It kinda ran out of steam as I ran out of motivation...

I coloured Quitely...

AlienPoliceMan!

AlienPoliceMan: Big Fight At Little City!  2 different version of the beginning of the (unfinished) story...  APM of course owes a considerable debt to OMAC!

Doctor Arachnid - "Little Star"

Many years ago I had an idea involving an alternative Marvel Universe where magic was the fundamental force rather than science...  Somehow the Mysterio from the regular Marvel Universe was to get trapped there and need Spider-Man to somehow rescue him.
Originally I thought that the alternative version of Spider-Man would be Doctor Spider, a Mystic Master of the Web, a combination of Spider-Man and Doctor Strange but I was quickly told that there was no way Marvel would even think of looking at such an idea.  
I put it to the back of my mind for a while where it slowly mutated into this version: Doctor Arachnid!  I wonder though if I should have maybe kept the cape though...
