OP needs to be clearer, the important part of their request is not the color thing, because OP obviously doesn't understand color. It's this part that's important:

>similar to Jen Zee

But the issue with that is it's subjective which artists are "similar" to Jen Zee. So good luck with that OP, I wish you the best.

my assertion is simply:

what's good about moebius are things like design, style, character, mood. these things are referred to as abstract elements. i assumed people would know that because art board. and i think that the technical aspects of his art are secondary. i think this makes his work more accessible and it's a good thing.

Then someone posted a picture by moebius that was in fact no technical marvel but was pretty good. so i assumed he assumed i thought moebius was amatuer tier or something, so i said, yes he's as good technically as other professional illustrators. although now i think that guy might of had another point which i missed.

hopefully that clears it up for you.

(Not either of the people who replied to you)
They're being kind of dicks, but I'll tell you what, you're wrong about the reason he's great - I agree with you that he's great, and I know what you're trying to say, and what's hitting you is this:

The fact that he IS, in fact, a technical wiz, but veils it in almost childlike cartooniness. the thin lines, the flat colors or soft gradients, it all PRETENDS to be simple, but the beautifully jarring thing about it is that he put great care in texture, form, perspective, and his color. It's just all so well-described by modestly thin, clean lines.

Honestly, I get the impression that he's drawing real life as a cartoon. I got vertigo when I read the above post saying that his stuff all looks like it's made of sand. His pictures are so... uncanny valley, but not in an unappealing way. I think his art is psychadelic-like. These colors are all so alien and surreal, but he never cheats real form underneath the cartoony coloring and line work. He may simplify the line details, but his lines never disagree with real form and texture.

They just lie by omission, and that's beautiful.

Do either of you know what the uncanny valley is?

They used it correctly, moebius' drawings look very close to real but they are off, they are simplified and cartoonized, but they are close enough that your mind is trying to make it real, but it's off so yes uncanny valley is accurate given the way that poster was using it (i don't feel that way personally but their opinion and use of the word is correct)

How did I use it wrong? Uncanny valley is when something seems real yet artificial - the offputting overlap. I'm using that to describe the dizzying overlap of realism and cartooniness in that moebius' work.

About the vertigo, that's just me, I tend to get dizzy from certain stuff. It's not the main point of my post. If you're genuinely confused and curious about what I meant by sand, I was talking about this post:

Here's what you're missing though:
You can't really place uncanny valley in one spot for everybody. It's a subjective feeling. If you get familiar with a weird art style that used to feel uncanny valley, it'll stop being uncanny valley for you.

So yeah, the way Moebius' draws feels uncanny valley to me. Perfectly sound statement.

that's just a lazy excuse to use the term loosely.

>The uncanny valley is a hypothesis in the field of human aesthetics which holds that when human features look and move almost, but not exactly, like natural human beings, it causes a response of revulsion among some human observers. Examples can be found in the fields of robotics,[1] 3D computer animation,

this does not apply to comics because comics are too far away from reality. comics consist of symbols that you are reading. they are not trying to copy real humans. they are reduce them to a point where it is no problem for our brain to read them as humans and know that they are not at the same time while uncanny valley is about something trying to be human, yet never completely achieving it.

"his drawings look weird! != "his drawings feel "uncanny valley to me"".

Kitsch is a wonderful word. It captures well the MUH REALISM and MUH STYLE crowds. Greenberg coined the term for how gilded academic art became. He later recanted, but I think his original definition can say a lot about the kind of art that nearly all of /ic/ is infatuated with.

>Kitsch, using for raw material the debased and academicized simulacra of genuine culture, welcomes and cultivates this insensibility. It is the source of its profits. Kitsch is mechanical and operates by formulas. Kitsch is vicarious experience and faked sensations. Kitsch changes according to style, but remains always the same. Kitsch is the epitome of all that is spurious in the life of our times. Kitsch pretends to demand nothing of its customers except their money -- not even their time.

It still wasn't exactly wrong how I used it.
Uncanny valley is when something's very realistic but still off, causing a repulsive effect.

You can't actually say I'm wrong for finding Moebius' art uncomfortably realistic. You're getting too worked up over the fact that I used "Uncanny Valley" to express this point.
And yes, I'm aware that my use of the word did not even involve a repulsive effect, which is at the heart of 'uncanny valley'.
But I did say something like, "It's like uncanny valley except not repulsive," didn't I?

I know what words I'm using, I know what I'm trying to say, and so do you.

I wasn't being pretentious about using it. What the fuck do I care that other people threw the word around a lot before me? I used it soundly, and whether or not I used it properly enough for you (you who has, indeed, probably seen many people use it wrong) doesn't actually matter to me.

I don't care that I used it loosely, and you shouldn't care either. I'm not breaking the English language.

Doesn't neccesarily mean that the artist is unskilled or didn't know about the problem I think, they probably overlooked it and paid attention to what they wanted to draw instead.
Especially in that picture where he almost didnt give a shit what the background is. Just a matter how how much care you want to put into the picture I guess.
