Here's another obvious influence from NOISE.It's more of an homage actually,to Moebius.

Maybe Nihei was influenced also by two architecs, if not directly at least in some distant or conecptual way, altough I think that he at least knew them, after all, he was an architect too.
The first is Antonio Sant'Elia (1888 - 1916), an italian futurist archicet. He dide young, but, looking at the the drwaings he made, is clear tha he was a great font of inspiration for the science fiction. He was also a font os inspiration for Ridley Scott in Bladerruner.

The other architect is Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720 -1778). This one I don't think was a direct influence for Nihei, ate least not in the drwaings, but in concept. He made a lota of drawings of prisons (carceri), that in the general idea have the same feeling of the Megastructure. Wikipedia says this:
The Prisons (Carceri d'invenzione or 'Imaginary Prisons'), is a series of 16 prints produced in first and second states that show enormous subterranean vaults with stairs and mighty machines. These in turn influenced Romanticism and Surrealism. While the Vedutisti (or "view makers") such as Canaletto and Bellotto, more often reveled in the beauty of the sunlit place, in Piranesi this vision takes on a Kafkaesque, Escher-like distortion, seemingly erecting fantastic labyrinthian structures, epic in volume, but empty of purpose. They are cappricci -whimsical aggregates of monumental architecture and ruin.

Anyway, I don't know if they are really inspirations for Nihei, but when I saw them, immediately I thought of Nihei, so...[/img]

Look at this:
The first one is Beksiński's painting. You know second one.
I don't know if Beksiński was first to paint this.
Btw... My first post here.

I was in such a rush I didn't even bother posting the right link and my reasons, oops.
Both Baroque and Blame! have amnesiac protagonists with vague objectives and powerful guns who wander around a post apocalyptic world with large, scifi-y areas (though the megastructure > Baroque's tower), both have a very isolated, lonely atmosphere and both have a huge Giger influence.

There is a story called Druuna by Paulo Serpieri that kinda reminds me of Blame! but with a ton of weird sex stuff in it. IT ran in Moebius Heavy Metal Magazine.
Volume 1 (Wich is all ive read) also features a virus outbreak similiar to the one at the start of Biomega.
