this is so sad, I was captivated as a teen the first time I saw the Metabarons, the creativity in those books is orgasmic
Just found out today that he died the 2nd of April... I was looking for I, dragon 3 and didn't expect this... This made really sad.
I think I bought my first album in 1985 (dark star) and later the underzone. I still have a copy of Heavy metal where the fourth power first appeared in 1990, his art really blew me away. Funny thing was that they printed the pages wrong so a double page was printed on two different pages. 20 years later they were republished (in the Netherlands) the correct way.
The meta barons will always be my favorite series, Jodorowsky's dark twisted fantasies beautifully illustrated is just stunning!
so... no more albums to look forward to other than a collectors book of illustrations and sketches i guess... I think I'm gonna read all 19 albums back to back tonight.
You will be missed....
RIP Maestro!
Everything about Juan's work is what I've always wanted to be as an artist.
Another legend leaves this world, the way he did those space shots are still incredible, the imagination, colors, draftsmanship, details, still unmatched.
Very sad news. RIP Juan.
He was one of the greatest! I still look at him for inspiration. I think I remember him coming to the studio once. Do you remember that?
Another thing, Rich: How about you go over some of Gary Gianni's stuff. He's pretty much as if a Golden Age illustrator would be drawing comics. My biggest hero. He did draw a Hellboy short story, given that Mike Mignola is a fan of his, and is especially known for illustrating Game of Thrones books and the original Howard Conan stories collected by Del Rey.
Just discovered this man's work on comixology and its blowing my mind, what a legend
Damn, that sucks. The guy was a legend. The Metabaron saga was some crazy and brilliant stuff. At least he had a better run than most will and made his mark before the reaper got him. The worst part of life is death.
Adieu Mr Gimenez, rest in peace. Incredible source of inspiration and bringer of dream.
If he was working in watercolors that is even more incredible. The level of control and creativity is through the roof!
I would not be an artist without Juan Gimenez and the Fourth Power. Ive done homages to many panels from that work in particular.
I initially meet his work way back in the 90s while I was training as an in betweener for an classic animation company and we used to share and show the new heavy metal magazines that were coming out!! I was surprised on how good he was and he was Latin American so that really gave me a push for trying harder with my art!! He will really be miss!!
Great tribute to the art of Gimenez, Rich. I'm a fan of his art, although I only discovered his art fairly recently. I think I'll check out some of his original art on the auction sites. Thanks for posting and stay safe, RIP, Juan.
Nuts, he's one of my favorites.
it's really a sad end for him.
Mine too. Top 5 for me. Every time I see his work I'm in awe. RIP master.
So sad I just found out about this amazing artist and became a instant fan, but to find out that he passed away due to the corona virus....dam RIP
There's so much here that's so good it's hard to realize how good it is.
A big masterartist gone. I will remember his work forever.
For like 3 months I would go to the library only to return his book Leo Roa and then take it back again, because is so amazing.Then I was able to find a copy and bout it.
I hate to say I'm not familiar with his work, but really digging this stuff! Definitely going to be seeking some of this out. Wish it was under happier circumstances....
Another impressive thing about his work is his courage (to me, at least) in using DARK colors! Like it's not enough to commit to hand-coloring, he actually goes the necessary step further to really bring things to life. Super work!
It looks like he changed up either the surface or the medium for the second volume, because the color "takes" to the surface a lot better. The first book you went thru, the color seemed to just sit on the paper, sorta like plain ol' 2-ply bristol. The second volume looked like a much higher quality paper was used.
Juan gimenez died from coronavirus so sad rest in peace man Christmas present is here today Christmas past is past Christmas future is far away
I recently saw an expo in Paris, the originals were incredible. Very sad. Long live a legend, R.I.P. (I believe his works were watercolor and unfortunately, he died in Spain).
Oh man, I would of loved to see his Akira. You got me thinking...how bout a Dredd.
Love this video. Love your videos in general. They’re just fantastic. If I could offer just one small suggestion, maybe just a tiny bit less bouncing up and down and up and down on on the pieces. You seem like a really chill guy and I love that. Maybe a tiny bit of that chill can drift over to your mouse hand. :) Love you man, stay safe.
I do rush. I apologize but I know how many files I have open. But I will watch that. it's been mentioned before.
I’m sorry, I don’t mean to criticize. I love your videos and I appreciate how much you put into this. It’s why I joined your Patreon. You’re the first creator I’ve supported there. Honestly, you’re great, it was just the bouncing. Keep the videos coming brother.
Master of color.
Bonjour. J ai découvert son art debut 80 avec l etoile noire. Quel artiste il etait. Merci pour votre travail cordialement . Pg
The old man at 7:03 kind of looks like Jodorowsky. Don't know if it was intentional though.
What did he use to handcolor it? Aquarell? Acrylics? Thanks for this one!
Good Lord the Artwork...the Pencils....how....easy it seems

Adiós metamaestro ...
Bob Ross is dead for 25 years now.
I swear if you watch his videos you'll see him clean his brush off on his leg. Those are caustic chemicals he's wiping off again and again on his pant leg. Doing that for 20 years of painting in oils and using solvents to clean your brushes could have caused his cancer.
