Thanks for this great video, I should say for these videos. Enki Bilal, Philipe Druillet and Jean Giraud (Moebius) are the artists who influenced/motivated me the most when I started to be interested in SF. They still have an important place in my "hall of fame".

[@ArtShutter]

You're welcome, I'm glad you liked the video... you have a very great hall of fame

I was reading the Nikopol trilogy a few months ago, a crazy and very well illustrated sci-fi story, Enki is awesome

[@ghostdelay6770]

Immortel is one of the greatest films ever made.

You have touched the sacred void and express the imagery you are gifted whilst there in your painterly stories. This is my first encounter with your art, it surely will not be my last. May creative visions by means of paint and pen thrive and shine in the heart of humankind for all time. Blessings on a warm breeze.

Love your videos. Cannot stop watching them.

Nice video about Bilal. I discovered him with «The Hunting Party» in Pilote magazine. Then I became a big fan, reading all his publications. I think his best work was with collaborator Pierre Christin. Later when Bilal went solo I stopped reading his work after «The Nikopol Trilogy», his drawings became more like paintings (he was actually selling his drawings/paintings after books where published). Nothing bad about changing styles, it’s even a good sign that the artist has an evolution. I saw is three film, the first was lacking a big budget, same for the second one (I totally forgot the plot) and the third one was more about his universe, although it is impossible to replicate the «patina» of his drawings. With every film with special effects those will look dated in a few years. I think you can still enjoy «Immortal» (a little dated maybe).

Did anyone see the Sci fi movie from France that they made from this comic series.

[@jeffbrinkerhoff5121]

Your videos are wonderful. I had most of the early issues of Heavy Metal which employed several of the artists you have shown. Thank you for these time capsules..

You're welcome, I'm glad you like the videos.

one of the greatest artists

[@dexocube]

I love Enki Bilal's comics and his films. Really interesting artist, very disturbing too.

[@te9591]

He had more than one film?

[@briane6957]

Man, what a strange turn of events: Some time back I saw this video in my recommended but didn't watch it cause I was busy at that moment. I ended up forgetting about it but days later (today precisely) while watching some movies I came across the 2004 film adaptation of that Nikopol comic called Immortal (Ad Vitam). Didn't even check the name of the director till I finished but when I did the vague memory of seeing that name and thumbnail came to me. From there I slapped in Bilal's name into KZbin and, bam, there this video was. Funny that I'll make a note, this time, to buy a comic ;)

[@ArtShutter]

What a nice coincidence!... Thank you for commenting and sharing the story

[@neototem4110]

Animalz was the most painfully drawn out multi-issue HM story I grinded through in my entire 25+yr history of collecting the mag.

[@fuzzydragons]

Def going to have to find some of his comics, really interesting style

[@ArtShutter]

You won't regret it 👍

[@1deplatt]

Why no mention of Heavy Metal?

[@ArtShutter]

I have mentioned a bit about his work in Metal Hurlant in a video of the channel dedicated to Metal Hurlant and Heavy Metal magazines, in case you want to take a look.

[@henrymach]

Someone actually turned his fictional sport - chess boxing - into a real sport. Check it out

[@artshurin]

great artist :3

[@luciferfernandez7094]

You missed Tykho Moon before Inmortel. Inmortel came out barely a year before Sin City, making him the first author to adapt his own comics into a full length life action movie. Good video!

[@ArtShutter]

You are right, it deserved a mention in the video. And regarding Immortel, I hadn't thought of that, thank you very much for mentioning it
