Unnamed illustration by Kei Kobayashi,

a) It looks as if the background of planets conforms to "Judith Beheading Holofernes",(1611-1612) by Artemisia Gentileschi which is a painting that I think that Moebius might have taken half a look at some point leading up to the moment he drew "John Carter et Geronimo Martinez luttent pour le son parfait".

b)  Images side by side. It looks as if the background of planets conforms to "Judith Beheading Holofernes",(1611-1612) by Artemisia Gentileschi which I think that Moebius might have taken half a look at some point leading up to the moment he drew "John Carter et Geronimo Martinez luttent pour le son parfait", 

The head of the upper woman becomes the head of the figure in Kobayashi's illustration.

The sword becomes the division between the woman's legs, which happens in Moebius' illstration as well



c) In 小林系's drawing, the man's skirt becomes transformed into the planet on the left as does the left mountain also transform into the planet on the left,



d) The woman holding the man down has her head and shoulders are transformed into a smaller planet on the right and her arms are transformed into the planetary ring.


e) The knee in this case becomes the spaceship with the upper leg hidden under the skirt becoming the direction that the ship is flying with its exhaust trail behind it, and this would be in relation to the visible elbow of the middle becoming the side of the helmet.
