ARTIST I've never seen! Alex Alice and the AMAZING graphic album Siegfried!

[@SPQRKlio]

I'm so glad you're featuring Alex Alice. I've loved his work for years and had the immense pleasure of getting to work with him in my editorial job. The Siegfried books are gorgeous, and his watercolour work is top notch.

[@RichardFriendartist]

wow no way that is amazing. I am surprised I'd not seen his work. I may have on something else but what I saw today I was not familiar with. He's a great artist@! (and I agree his watercolor is beautiful!

[@emperios2000]

Alex Alice is amazing. I've been following him for years. This is the first of 3 books (Siegfried, The Valykrie, Twilight of the Gods) which are based don't he the 3rd part of Richard Wagners Ring of the Nibelung opera, which is 4 parts long. Do a search here using 'Alex Alice Siegfried animated' and you'll find a gorgeous fully animated trailer for this book series. It's truly gorgeous. You can also check out his latest series Castle in the Stars.

insanely beautiful nature art, the clear sky above the storm in that panoriffic tree top picture. Wow.

[@jerm22278]

Damn, he's fantastic with scenery.

[@RichardFriendartist]

yeah it's really cool/ I need to check out more of his art. I followed him on Instagram before I put the video up (links are in the description box!)

[@Pork_Hunt]

Kelsey is a big fan of this artist, you should do a follow up Super Fun Sunday.

[@RichardFriendartist]

hey cool. I wonder if he's mentioned him to me. I don't remember!

[@Pork_Hunt]

@@RichardFriendartist I don't think so. I seem to recall him mentioning it on a Bancroft stream earlier in the year.

[@JacksonTaylorandTheSinners]

Always find something new and beautiful hanging with you, Rich.

[@RichardFriendartist]

sweet...this was a recommendation so I learn and see new things too!

[@Art-What..]

Nice talk about,nice seeing the artwork you bring excitement to your reviews, thanks..

[@RichardFriendartist]

awesome thanks!

[@goober7535]

I just pre ordered his next book, think it’s called the universe in 1875 or somet…anyways, can’t wait

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

this art work is on another level, and if the story is on par with the illustrations, this story would be an amazing one to read/observe and to own!

[@SeanvanderM]

Siegfried is actually three gorgeous books, bases on the Nibelungen saga (P Craig Russell also did a massive adaptation for Dark Horse years ago, which is also really good). Alex Alice also did the art on a euro-series called The Third Testament, not sure if that one’s translated, and has been working on a series called Castle In The Stars (First Second published at least some of it in english), which is like steam punk astronaut stories, all in watercolour, which is just stunning.

[@RichardFriendartist]

I saw a bit of that newer work on his Instagram...it looked great. Thank you Sean!

[@davidknight6261]

Thats beautiful stuff.

[@RichardFriendartist]

I agree...really amazing!

[@Jordan-kk1rh]

This is really talented, almost like the headless horseman with a slight reaper similarity. Broken swords look flawless and hands all very detailed with accuracy.

[@jawnsushi]

Are we doing Batman Year One #1 Sunday? 😁

[@RichardFriendartist]

maybe. I can ask Kelsey and come back and let you know!!

[@jawnsushi]

@@RichardFriendartist if not, no worries. Could be awesome though!

[@NoFearZero]

Damn Rich this is a gem! Thanks for sharing such great unknown artists! Kinda reminds me of the Elric stuff from Poli.

[@schmoovit]

Great review as always, would love to see some Gerald Parel. 👍

[@RichardFriendartist]

I love his work. I will look into that! Thank you.

[@halaneverson4549]

Siegfried is from 2007 irc, great work and the reprints covers are awesome too. Maybe check Requiem too, awesome artwork by Olivier Ledroit

[@RichardFriendartist]

I love Ledroits art. I am nearly sure I did a video on him!

[@halaneverson4549]

@@RichardFriendartist I was almost sure you did but i couldnt check right now, so many artist reviews at this point

[@RichardFriendartist]

@@halaneverson4549 you can search though that should work if you ever want to check on something. thanks Halan! Happy New Year

[@halaneverson4549]

@@RichardFriendartist Thanks Rich, hope a great year for you with Blaster Kid, may it get solid reviews and sells a lot. I will surely get the kindle version since i got a 12 inch screen tablet right now

[@Glenng4346]

Nice art.It really is hard to tell on some of those backgrounds if it's digital or not.Either way they're very accomplished. Have you ever seen the art for Vagabond by Takehiko Inoue? Some of his backgrounds are incredibly detailed in black and white.

[@piero9881]

Cool

[@RichardFriendartist]

thanks!

[@AV8R_Surge]

Yeah.. that was beautiful. Do you think some of the coloring is water colors? And that's how he achieved those subtle tones?

[@SPQRKlio]

He often works in watercolour on illustration board/heavy paper. It's amazing.

[@ralfvdhoeven]

If you want recommendations look up the work of Mohamed Aouamri. A French artist. So very good.

[@jawnsushi]

I'm almost positive Siegfried is a retelling of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen. BTW there's an animated teaser/movie made of the book. Pretty sure it was by Alex Alice too. Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpLKdmh_ormojZY

[@RichardFriendartist]

hey awesome thank you!

[@Zoltarman]

There is a albun Chevalier dragon with him in a J Scott style and them I guess he evolved to this style. He is now doing another series. Kinda Stell punk. I like Siegfried better.

[@emperios2000]

My post got deleted too....this is weird.

[@RichardFriendartist]

obviously it's some sort of issue with KZbin. I have had that happen to myself posting on other peoples videos in the past....but I'm not deleting posts today.
