Corben seems like an absolute alchemist when it came to making art and looks like it came from another dimension. Keep up the good work my dude.

[@ArtShutter]

Indeed and thanks, I'll try to continue with the work!

[@DarkJusn2020]

Aight kids what did we learn today? That's it: Richard Corben is a legend, and he made the first Isekai ever

[@bigcock8900]

Richard Corben is my favorite comic book artist (and really artist in general), he was so talented and no matter who he worked with or what he worked on, you knew you wanted to read it because of him, and there was never once disappointment

[@DonTheMoron716]

Agreed. My favorite is Bloodstar and I think his Underground stuff is really good also.

[@ettertarten]

your channel is like a blessing. please continue your work! hope your channel gets bigger and gets the recognition it deserves.

[@ArtShutter]

I'm glad you like it, I'll try to continue with the work, I like doing this and sharing it with people who enjoy these artists and their art

[@jamesclukey7488]

Corben also did cover art for books that featured John Carter of Mars, as well as The Stainless Steel Rat, and the Death World. He was one of the most prolific artists of our times ! He will be missed !

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

All those were for the dust covers for Doublday's subscription based Science Fiction Book Club most of which are pretty worthless on the second hand market Ebay etc except for Corben's which are still very desirable (but that dust cover better be in pretty good shape!)...

Interviewer: So now people would say, “This guy has to be awfully perverse. He always draws these women with hugh, enormous breasts!” Why do you do that? Richard Corben: To differentiate them from the men, of course. (Heavy Metal #51, June 1981 (vol. V no. 3), pages 6-11)

So amazing artists no body can replaces her 😢😢😢

Recently caved and bought a copy of Flights Into Fantasy for $100. Haven't checked it out yet, but look forward to it. I hope to get back into airbrushing after a long hiatus. His technique always fascinated me with its bizarre realism and detail mixed with a weird gothic/sci-fi vibe. Only recently did I rediscover his art and make the connection, that his peculiar photorealism sometimes reminded me of something else, which is Maxfield Parrish's illustrations that evoked the same photorealism with intense color saturation.

[@DonTheMoron716]

Great book and worth the hundo.

[@Davy.J.Y]

Keep posting these art video's, they are wonderful ! New sub here .

[@ArtShutter]

Great, welcome to the channel, I'll try to keep posting this type of videos as much as I can

[@ScottPutnamART]

Can't wait for the den reprints next year aswell as bloostar and murky world

[@deadgremlin]

Thank you for making videos like these! Comics deserve essay style videos as much as the countless movie essay channels. Thank you, great work!

[@ArtShutter]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like the content of the channel

[@leejones5026]

Corben was such a amazing artist!

[@agnusdei8442]

Great video again, btw i want to suggest noriyoshi ohrai, he is good option for video i think

[@ArtShutter]

Thanks for the suggestion, I like it when subscribers suggest artists, so I can remember some that I don't have on the radar and even know new ones.

[@leokimboy]

No one has succeeded like him in using the grotesque to depict harsh reality

[@allthingsdarrelld]

Great vid!

[@ArtShutter]

Thank you

[@ricardolabate4984]

Great video!

[@braylonrandle1731]

Do youthink you could do Brom next?

[@ArtShutter]

That's a great option for a video, I can't say if I'll do it soon but I'll keep it in mind for sure, thanks for mentioning it.

[@DonTheMoron716]

Oh yeah! Brom is very good.

[@kabronex9877]

If you ever start covering Japanese artist do you think you could do a video on Kazuma Kaneko?

[@ArtShutter]

I don't know as many Asian artists as Western artists, but I would like to make videos about artists from that part of the world for sure, so I'll investigate more about it and I'm sure Kazuma Kaneko can have a video on this channel then.

[@ViperGamingChannel]

he had the best hulk ever drawn

[@DonTheMoron716]

BANNER!

[@felipesepulvedasalinas6648]

A alguien más le gustaría que Vin Diesel interpretará Den???

[@ArtShutter]

🙋

[@DonTheMoron716]

Arguably, America’s best 20th Century artist. Sadly, not many know.
