Chapter 375 The real master of comic art

He Chen doesn't know who the gay is.

But He Chen had heard of Mobis's name - he was a little ashamed when he said that. Although he was famous, He Chen had never read his comics much.

Because the style of his works is closer to adulthood, it focuses on descriptions such as humanities and society. In layman's terms, it is not pleasant enough.

Moreover, He Chen knew about this legendary master after his death - he had just passed away a few years before He Chen traveled through time, which caused a lot of condolences in the comics industry. It was then that He Chen learned about the comic artist.

Therefore, He Chen had a very deep impression of him.

In fact, the names of Mobius and Mobius are spelled exactly the same, and may be for the sake of making it easier to distinguish, so there is a saying that it is translated into Mobius.

If you are talking about Mobis directly, He Chen will immediately report it.

When he first heard this person's name, He Chen was very surprised and did not understand why so many comics, animations and even movie masters expressed deep condolences for his death.

But when He Chen saw his experience, he deeply realized that many of the works he had read were filled with his shadow.

Those who like science fiction movies will never forget to influence the entire world, a milestone in the history of film, and one of the most important cultural events in the 20th century "Star Wars"!

The "Star Wars" series of movies uses the most advanced high-tech and digital production methods to create an unprecedented space world. Its description of various galaxies, civilizations, and creatures in the universe, the various strange aliens and spacecraft it creates, the magnificent space scenes and star war scenes it shows. It is beyond what ordinary people think of. It is not expressable by ordinary science and technology. It cannot be said that it is not a dreamy visual wonder.

It was almost from that time that science fiction movies began to attract widespread attention.

However, many Mobis fans believe that the design of "Star Wars" borrows from many Mobis works, including the interior of the Millennium Falcon, the desolate landscape and superb technology on the planet Tatooine. It is said that some fans have discovered that in an inconspicuous corner of the "Long Tomorrow", there is a robot that looks exactly the same as the Imperial Exploration Robot. Fans believe that this is Lucas paying tribute to his idol.

He also participated in the film production of "Alien", "Abyss", and "Fifth Element", in which director Luc Besson and screenwriter, the film began in the desert of Egypt. The Mondoshava Stars who appeared in the aircraft were all wearing bronze steampunk armor. When the heroine Lilu stood on the edge of the building, looking at the vertical city where cars came and went in the air, this was almost the original scene of Mobis' comic "Long Tomorrow".

He is not only the design of these movies, but also an important source of inspiration for these movies.

It seems that it is all related to movies, but he is even more famous in the animation and comics world.

In "The Long Tomorrow", Mobis created a dazzling vertical landscape for the future city, and combined with various robots and precision aircraft, this was an extremely avant-garde work in that era.

In these works, Mebis's tone is completely different from a series of Western works such as "Captain Blueberry": the clean and neat lines still remain unchanged, but a large number of lines are added to the picture.

Although it is a fantasy work, almost all the details are worth pondering.

"Behind these fresh faces, historical common sense is equally meticulous."

"Captain America", "Hulk", "Iron Man", "Avengers", "X-Men", and one of the authors of "The X-Men", Marvel's signature, often collaborates with Stan Lee to create the Marvel world Jack Kobe, commented this.

He is known as the father of superheroes and comic master Stan Lee, until more than thirty years later, he still remembers his stunning feelings when he first watched Captain Blueberry.

What surprised the American even more was that such a Western comic book full of wildness and hormones actually came from a Frenchman named Jean Jilao.

Unlike the traditional American hero comics that always shout "justice" and "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", the protagonist in "Captain Blueberry" is a stealing, lying, betrayal, and has human weaknesses. It is an anti-hero work.

Among the works of tall and noble heroes everywhere, "Captain Blueberry" has brought great shock to countless people.

He Chen feels that the anti-hero themes in American comics should also be inspired by "Captain Blueberry".

Stan Lee once collaborated with Mobis and worked on short stories for the Silver Filmmaker in Marvel World.

His influence is not only in European and American comics, but also on island countries.

Katsuyo Ototo encountered his own creative bottleneck - he was tired of drawing comics with realistic themes for a long time. It was at this time that he saw the comic signed by "Merbis" through Starlog magazine.

This time the encounter was like an asteroid, and it exploded in Otomo Katsuyo's mind: Mobis's works were filled with eye-catching aircraft and strange towns that seemed to be a land of gods outside the sky - this was completely different from the baseball and campus themes that were popular in the Japanese comics world at that time.

His wild imagination allowed him to appreciate the infinite possibilities of the comic world and directly influenced his future comic creation.

Katsuyo Otomo began to look for more possibilities for comic creation. In addition to the realistic themes he was good at, he created a series of short stories based on fairy tales, legends and Western novels.

The 21 stories familiar to the public, including "The Little Match Girl", "Snow White", and "Little Red Riding Hood", have been ruthlessly deconstructed, magnifying the absurdity of these household-known stories to the extreme, making them spoof and subverting, presenting a magical world of imagination to people.

In terms of picture style, painting language and expression, Otomo Katsuyo regards this series as a test field for his comic creation and makes various bold attempts, which has given birth to works such as "Alice in Wonderland" and "Don Quixote" that are very interesting to ordinary Japanese comics.

It can be seen that at this stage, Katsuyo Otomo was deeply influenced by European comics, especially Mobius's works. In the article "Don Quixote", the desolate desert constructed by black and white, the fantasy journey of the explorer, and the romantic and unconventional stories that are not written in a word, can be vaguely seen in the shadow of Mobius' works, especially "arzak".

"When we carefully depict the real world, Mr. Mobis created a world of his own." At a lecture invited by the island country Kyoto Essence University, Otomo Katsuyo recalled the uproar of his heart when he first entered the science fiction world of "Mobis". "He used his very delicate brushstrokes and superb technology to present a worldview that we forgot before us. After seeing his works, I suddenly remembered that I used imagination to draw comics, and he made me realize that I had to try to create more imaginative works again."

From Otomo Katsuyo's evaluation of Mobis, it is enough to show how much he admires him. He even wanted to bring Mobis's "the-airtight-garage" comic to the big screen, but unfortunately, the final plan was not realized.

If you still think that Katsuyo Otomo is not important enough, then there is another person who can convince everyone, that is Master Miyazaki.

Mobis and Miyazaki are friends, and he even named his daughter by the name of the protagonist in "The Valley of the Wind".

Miyazaki also considers himself a "lifelong fan" of Mobis.

"I was surprised by the perspective of Mebis's view of the world. His paintings depict characters in the simplest lines, including various elements, presenting a sense of space that is both lonely and arrogant. I think this is Mebis' greatest charm."

The two held a joint painting exhibition in France together. It is not difficult to see the influence of Mebis in Miyazaki's works such as "Red Pig" and "City of the Sky".

Such a reputation makes He Chen admire him even if he has not read a complete comic work.

Others are cartoonists, while Mobis is a true master of comic art.

From Ling Yan's introduction, He Chen learned that this master was only in his fifties, without illness or disaster, and at the peak of integrity. Although no comics appeared before He Chen, he was still an art master with very high attainments in art and was considered a leader among European artists.

As if it was the guide of fate, when the comic appeared, he once again couldn't help but get into the comic, showing his stubborn creativity.

When he thought of this, He Chen had a headache.

This is a long-standing master of art. He is extremely mature in both his thoughts and skills. He Chen cannot teach him anything, and he is not short of fame or money. This mh magazine was also founded by him for the convenience of serializing his comics.

This means that He Chen has no bargaining chips that can attract him to join Tianman.

He Chen even imagined that for such a master who is full of "thinking", he personally created better comics and even defeated the "famous" He Chen, who is now, such things will attract them more than anything else.

He Chen bought all the Mobis and some other magazines, and he was going to take them back and study the countermeasures slowly.

Even if the group of publishers are willing to publish Tianman's comics, He Chen has no confidence to compete with Mobis in the European market with the comics in his hands.

The translator said to He Chen: "Master Jean Jilao admires you very much, especially the artistic expression of comics. He once said, 'Master Porter opened the door to a new world', and he will also come to this exchange meeting..."

It seems that he will soon be able to meet this long-known True Master.

If he wants to occupy the European market, he only faces three ways:

First, dig Mebis over;

Second, let Mobis stop drawing comics;

The last one is the work that surpasses Mobis... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!

ps: Alas...

Ask for a whip... Why don't you feel it? So depressed.
