Said it once before, I'll say it again. I never thought any print would surpass his Jodorowsky's Dune, but the Heavy Metal Variant has. Can't wait to see mine.

His border work is what gets me. Amazing stuff when he does it.

For a Heavy Metal poster, there aren't nearly enough boobs.

Or B17's, carnage, nakedness, Hanover Fiste or Plutonium Nyborg!

This poster was made with an open mind of what Science fiction can be. Also Its not a poster for the first Heavy Metal film so no reference was made to characters from it.

I like this one so much because I feel like you had a lot of control with the content. I can see so much of your solo work in this one, especially inside the spheres in the center.

Well done Kilian!

You nailed it Kilian.

Thanks! HM was really great to work with. They pretty much gave me free hands to do whatever I wanted.
Some of my favorite artists did work for that magazine back in the days so it was quite an honor. Have no idea why they wanted the Japanese title on
the variant though. French (Metal Hurlant) would have made more sense because of its origin.

yeah I was wondering that myself actually. Still between this & ghost in the shell you killed it. That matrix ain't 1/2 bad either

Best Mondo Poster of SDCC hands down. Great work Killian. On Wednesday night I passed by the Heavy Metal booth and saw the variant, I instantly fell for it. Very well done.

French for the win! I went with the regular over the Japanese just for the love of the classic logo.
Really think this print captures the magazine so well considering all the different worlds it encompassed. Kinda feels like it is portrayed with the numerous orbs(worlds) and the ride that each took the reader on.

Thanks again, glad you all liked it! BTW, here is two of my personal favorite covers from the magazines history:

By Philippe Druillet: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5WT1vLNOd3o/U ... +cover.jpg
And
By Moebius: http://www.raggedclaws.com/home/wp-cont ... _cover.jpg

I can almost hear what's happening inside that Moebius cover. Amazing work.
