[davidlucasfer]

maestro

[tombofgrapes]

My God...his use of the brush is amazing! What did he use prior to that when outlining? Did he still use a brush to ink it or a pen?

[Spectrem4n]

Ciudad forever :D

[khor11]

Gimenez! Amazing! Loved all his work in those Heavy Metal magazines.

And, to top it off, he's a lefty! YES

[SuperKingNova]

damn that's flawless

[Pandaparkingzone]

Maestro del trazo, toda una chulada de dibujo, grande como pocos.

[MIGUEL2005LIMA]

this metabaron is indeed an autoportrait of the artist.

[ReFleXFnatic]

Someone give this map a taco

[satanslunchbox]

HOLY CRAP...that's the sketch he did for me! I didn't know someone filmed this. Very cool!

You can find a better scan of this on my blog. skinshark.blogspot under May 22 2010.

[Freemind201]

He is an amazing artist!

[Flairbrusher2010]

I love Gimenez' art since the early 1980's. He produced some of the most beautiful and sexy artwork ever published in Heavy Metal.

[sulmenache]

que obra de arte!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[kelvo777]

WOW!!!!!

[BANIONIZ]

if you like Gimenez work you should get JUEGO ETERNO (i do not kow if it was printed in inglish) it is a recopilation of short stories (some of his first colored works) and some are experimental works one of these works haves a script with a great similitude whit the matrix movie (But Gimenes make it in 1984)

[rsmanimation]

wow

[yzorg]

wooht

i love the metabaron story.. absolutely amazing drawn!

just needs to be filmed.

Make a masterful 8 DVD long Film version ! eighter CG or with real acteurs.

[0Psithiros]

amazing the way the master works

i really would like a film about the best (to my view) comic bloodline ever created

:D cheers

[Izaac7719]

what kind of brush/ink/paint is he using to shade the character? I would find that extremely useful in my stuff

[skyfinch]

Looks like plain old water colours and black marker for the detailing. Sometimes the most simple of tools have the best results.

[Izaac7719]

then i wonder what kind of paper he's using. whenever i use watercolor on inked sketches, the water color bleeds real bad and its really clean in his picture

[GraphicsLizard]

When I am just messing around I use printer paper. Easily pilfered from most home offices haha and cheap too. Never had a problem with inks and watercolors on it.

[GraphicsLizard]

I like to use water color and india ink most. Some small brushes and a quill or nib pen. My favorite way to do things but my ex took my art boxes when she left. Dick move eh? lOl

[pedradadada]

[byintyme]

I'm glad this is one field where age does not matter. It's about how long ones flame is lit and the mood of ones inner child.

[JoseArtist2]

Thanks for posting this

[Chewieboy]

PERO QUE NEGRO CHOTO

[WARDISWARD]

everybody should begin with the incal by jodorowsky and moebius ...

[jonanjello]

Well hey, Gimenez is a lefty! Go lefties!

He works incredibly fast.

Choisez, thanks for sharing this footage with us.

[kreion]

the nameless - my favorite metabaron !

check out travis charest's work on metabarons saga

GOLD!

[puppeli]

thanks for uploading. I love Juan Gimenez'es art style so much (i have all his Metabarons comics, simply awesome stuff!) :D

[makrigiorgos]

please don't thumb me down.i am very impressed that he is a left handed.trully one of the gratests artists

[reyvolcan]

hahaha..true

[Pravesh7]

He's a MetaBaron himself lol

[reyvolcan]

What Tsagia sais is true.Everyone who love sci-fi comics must to read "La casta de los Metabarones" by J.Gimenez&A.Jodorowsky.This is the story of a saga of warriors very good ilustrated.I really like.I recomend this everybody.Greetings from Spain!

[Pravesh7]

It's a Masterpiece :)

[jonjonbalaos]

Why not if Gimenez was inspired from Moebius? All artists through the ages have gone through from copying from one style from another artist so they can create their own. Travis Charest on Jim Lee is one example, and even Raphael on Michelangelo. Though you may say he is inspired from Moebius, looking at their works side by side, the two men are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

[SpaceLegend1]

super BD

[jonjonbalaos]

Thank you for posting this. It's rare to see a master at work like Gimenez...or Moebius.

[Tsagia]

Whoever has read the Metabarons knows that Juan Gimenez is simply incredible.The guy is a master.

[deroussoraz]

Outstanding!!! Thanks for posting this masterpiece!

[llamamebrucelee]

Man, that's not a sketch, that is a fucking miracle.

[larrypearce2]

Extremely derivative of Moebius though. In fact, this guy's a rip off!

[orenjiotoku]

larrypearce, "this guy" is Juan Gimenez! Nothing like Moebius, besides being a master comic book artist. Have you ever heard of Alexandro Jodorowsky's Meta Barons series from Les Humanos Associes???

[jonjonbalaos]

You don't know jack about Gimenez or Moebius, Larry. Mister Gimenez has his own style. Moebius, on the other hand, sometimes go from simple cartoony to realistic and even surrealistic. So he's not ripping off anyone.

[larrypearce2]

Maybe "Rip Off" is too harsh a word; perhaps "inspired by" is more apt. But this bald headed futuristic character wearing a fantastic costume is pure Moebius. I will give Giminez that he puts a lot more depth in his shading and highlighting than Moebius(whose style does tend toward the more graphic with more flattened and vivid coloration), but he's a Moebius follower nonetheless. Gimenez has said as much in interviews.

[larrypearce2]

Giminez is good but he's no innovator like Moebius is in the history of European comic/graphic art.  That's all.

[jonjonbalaos]

Sure, and you'll say Professor Xavier is bald and Moebius created that too. :P

Moebius is also known for creating fantastic stories, and EVERYONE can do a comic book with a bald guy in a space suit, but what that character REPRESENTS is ANOTHER THING. That's why characters from Metabaron or Moebius's characters like Arzach are so unique albeit OVERLOOKING THEIR CHARACTER DESIGN. Its not the design of the characters that represents them as a whole. Its what the character do in the story.

[nicovanecata]

excelente!!

[Toad77]

L'un des meilleurs dessinateurs au monde.

La série des Métabaron est époustouflante de génie artistique.
