This man is my idol as an artist, the amount of realism he has achieved in his paintings and other illustrations are flawless as far as I can see.
His style isn't pure realism, its exaggerated realism, he exaggerates it to amplify the theme
I love the way that the suit looks. It feels like its breathing.
Fantastic! Black Panther is such a cool character
Alex Ross is a gift to the world of art.
Alex Ross should be doing all movie posters , art really brings this holy feel to it . Posters these days are boring
agreed
Pdrew I would have loved to see Drew (can't remember his last name) draw Marvel's posters as well, the guy that did all of the original Star Wars posters!
Yep. For all the hate justice league got, one thing I really appreciated was the Ross-inspired poster.
Paolo Rivera did some cool poster you should check this out
His name is Drew Struzan, @@p4rt_t1me_g0d. In addition to his work on the "Star Wars" franchise, Struzan also painted the one-sheets for the "Back To The Future" trilogy as well as the "Indiana Jones" film series (among countless other flicks).
Alex Ross is a legend when it comes to art, I first discovered him when I saw his take on the Sam Raimi Spiderman suit. The man has a godly imagination and art skills to bring them to life.
I love these videos giving insight on how comics can affect the world at large. The impact that these stories and characters can create.
Wakanda Forever - Alex, been a fan of yours since I was 12, now I’m 30 years old.
That was very interesting. Thank you for sharing that story sir.
I know this phrase is constantly used but he is the Norman Rockwell of Comics. He makes the characters and their worlds live and breathe. A great reverence of the collective history and has added a lot himself.
Alex Ross...I dont get it... This gentleman is such a Genius! His words,
his wisdom, his view over these Characters, his knowledge, his
experience!!! WHY are People not giving him the chance of being the Head
of the creative team on the DC Universe!! He would put so much Magic on
any (Comic)Story, Movie or Game! His mixture of the Past History of
Comics and the Modern times is unique! He is such a talent! Such an
inspiration to Me! The Love and importance he gives these Characters is
simply Magical! His symbolic elements in his Paintings are frighteningly
beautiful! PLEASE anyone! Give this Man more Power over Creative
processes on DC!!!
Alex Ross is hands down my favorite comic book artist
Mine too, I just love everything he creates.👍😁
@@evanabbott2737 he had me with Marvels and when Kingdom Come came out I was hooked for life
@@milesdavis63 I had some issues of marvels as a kid, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.😁 I remember thinking, “why doesn’t everybody draw comics like this?? This looks like the best..!”
@@evanabbott2737 That's almost with everything Alex Ross does
Me 2, goddamn it!
The legend!!!
Alex Ross and Black Panther!
Gretings from Brazil!
I've always been drawn to costume designs that cover the whole character's body (Mister Miracle Black Panther, Spider-Man) They're so fun to draw!,
wow. just two minutes long and it's already so deep and true to the character. great video.
You were my favorite comic artist when I was a kid, and today you still are. Thank you for being a great influence on my life.
I'm so glad I found this channel.
Excellent video! Ross' rendition of T'Challa is both incredible and breathtaking!
He's right about comics teaching you something. My first introduction to Panther was FF # 119... Panther trapped in apartheid South Africa and Ben & Johnny going to kick ass and free him ! This was about 1976, I'm 8yrs old. I knew NOTHING about shit like that at the time. Mind blowing!!
The creation of the Black Panther is how you create diversity in comics! Not the BS Marvel has been doing the last 10 years by messing with already established characters like Thor (gender change), Captain America (race). Create new characters and DEVELOPE them!! #my2cents
stephen smelley AGREE 100%

I guess you didn't take away anything from Alex's thought-provoking words in this video... _"...Why couldn't Spider-Man be black?"_
Mixing up the status quo in comic book characters lately is a way to fix a problem; that being that pop-culture does not have enough diversity.
Sure, "create new characters" is one solution, but it's not a realistic fix. New characters are not guaranteed popularity. it takes time and money to develop a new character into something that will be accessible and well-received. People will prefer to invest on pop-culture icons like Superman and Batman than on a nobody character.
Honestly, would it really bother you that much if a comic book series depicted Batman as Indian and Robin as female?
One of my all time favorite artists.
Thank you Mr. Ross
I love your channel. I am so happy to hear your stories sharing your life and experience. Thanks so much for being the kind of special person/artist that you are.
This is great. Too many people complain about diverse characters in comics. As if comics have never explored political or cultural issues. If you’re angry at a black Spider-Man or an Asian Hulk then maybe just put down the comics.
I agree 100% black panther is a great Character
Glad I found this channel I adore Alex Ross I got into DC at all thanks to Kingdom Come. Love his insight on this topic.
Excellent Review, thanks!
Love your work!!!!
Love your work sir. My favorite is your DC's kingdom come.
Alex Ross, superstar comic book artist, has a magnificently theatrical voice. Who knew.
my favourite ever picture of the Panther was drawn by John Byrne, the cover of Jungle Action 23
Great commentary on Black Panther. I didn't know anything about the character before the movie came out. Always was a Batman guy. Very cool talk on the character. Thanks for sharing!
Respect I m a huge fan of your work Alex ... thank you for all the great moment you share with us thru your comics .... Earth X def ...
great video
I cant Subscribe hard enough! I didn't know this channel existed.
What a legend
Thank you Alex ❤🙏🏽
African American Icon hell an American Icon Period 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Genius
When is this going on sales, it’s saying out of stock and to join editing list
Amazing video
Beautiful art work
This insight is a thousand times better than nearly all of the press which surrounded the movie. Wonderful.
Personally, I'd love to see you share your insights on the characters from PROJECT SUPERPOWERS or the various Pulp heroes like the ones Dynamite currently prints comics of.
Omni Viewer why is this better
It's better - unlike what is implied elsewhere in this thread - because it is not divisive. So much of the press surrounding the movie was designed to aggressively divide, but this feels like insight meant to unite. Black Panther isn't just for black people anymore than Spider-Man is just for white people. Rather, superheroes are meant to be for everyone.
Putting words in mouth, huh?
We're done talking. Good day.
Nobody in the press said that black panther was just for black people. The only people who tried to "aggressively divide" was the white people on twitter who lied about being beat up by black people for going to see black panther. If pointing out the fact that Black Panther was the first black led superhero film with a majority black cast is considered divisive than oh well..
This is the last thing I'm going to say.
I said I like this video because it has a unifying message, which was sorely lacking in all of the press surrounding the film.
The people who responded are the ones who assumed I was speaking against the people on their side, thus responding with vague, ad hominem statements and falsehoods further designed to divide.
In summary, I can't even say we should all get along with being passive-aggressively accused of bigotry, and the irony on display here is where it happened. This is what the world has come to.
I leave this discussion not because I have no rebuttals, but because I meant what I said about not being divisive. Believe me a coward if you want, but that is my honest reason.
Good day to you all.
Sisis.. You're awesome Alex... Keep it up
Alex ross is the goat
Think I know who the supervillain Mr Ross is talking about in that first Black Panther comic he read, the original Hatemonger, whose headgear WAS modeled on the KKK.
This is what comics book needs nowadays
Good dude👍
Love this
I’d love a black panther like that to take control over me
INDEED " outstanding work 👏👏
If DC was savvy they would have him hired for costume design and theatrical posters for the DC Movies. No cut and paste copy of MCU.
Not knocking Marvel, but DC characters are more classical hero archetypes that should have that distinction.
01:54 Que fofo!
_bem que podia ter ampliado a imagem na tela pravermos melhor_
E se o Alex Ross disse que comparava o Pantera Negra com o Batman e o Homem-Aranha.. quem sou eu pra dizer o contrário hihi
thanks! Alex if you take sometime from being an artist extraordinaire but as a gamer i hope that you,ll enjoy playing 2018 Marvel Spider-Man
on the Playstation 4 and Miles Morales on the PS 5 by insomniac games this holiday season with your family As always you,re the best.
WAKANDA FOVER! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
any artists in here willing to do thier take on our heroes?
Yeah, I remember that Black Panther story when he took on a sorta KKK copy. It was quite 'out there' at the time I thought.
I always liked the sleek, dark deep blue of the Panther's costume in the '70s, and also the white eyes are key to the design, not unlike Spider-Man. I don't think you want to see his eyes through the mask...
Black panther vs Batman who wins?
Depends on who is writing them.
Boy, that's a tough one.
Depends on which version of Batman you’re taking about and which suit too. For example, the Nolan Batman would just take a phat L.
Interestingly enough, I prefer the more powerful painted Black Panther done by Mark Texeira for Christopher Priest’s late 90s series than Alex Ross’ 60s/70s throwback...
Panther unmasked looks like OJ 😂
Very funny.
Demetrius Dillard thanks Demetrius
Wait, but how did his mom know the Spiderman was Blac...oohhhhhh 😂
That's how Miles Morales was made
as always
I agree that Black Panther is a terrific character. But if Spider Man can be black (and yes of course I know about Miles Morales, and he's not a bad character), then can Black Panther be East Asian? :\ I think the race and gender bending of recent years among Marvel Comics mainstays has been putting politics and social progress ahead of telling a great story. And it's sad. This isn't how you fix racism and sexism in the real world. That's how you alienate your audience with smarmy self-righteousness. If you think there should be more representation, make more great black characters like BP, like Bishop, like Storm, like Falcon, like Blade, like Sunspot, like Power Man (Luke Cage), etc. etc. etc., or use the ones you already have to make terrific stories.
Dan D I believe that Marvel's rush to bring diversity has caused them to lose a number of their Good original characters if they could have the original characters alongside their new more racially diverse counterparts living in the same universe then a lot of the haters would probably come back to read both comic book lines and to answer your question black panther cannot be anything but black because he is Black Panther and he is African, and it would not make sense for an East Asian man to be ruling an African nation like Wakanda without Wakandan Royal Blood. Sorry
HetLedie #EmbraceDiversityWakanda #WhitePanther #AsianPanther #BrownPanther #NavajoPanther :P
Miles Morales isnt race bending because hes a different character. Miles Morales is Spiderman but not Peter Parker. Also Spiderman isn't a character tied to say "whiteness". Peter Parker is supposed to be a everyday American. Being white isnt a main part of the character. Its different for a character like Black Panther as a large part of the story is him being and African Prince as well as one of the first black heroes. On the other hand, Nick Fury, Lex Luthor, and some other characters have gone back and forth from white to black multiple times because their ethnicity isnt a big part of the character. Rhodey could be white and the basis of the character could stay the same. That doesn't really go for Black Panther.
Black Panther was originally made to provide BLACK people with positive representation in Marvel Comics. Not Asians, not Mexicans, just BLACK PEOPLE. Its the whole point of the character.
Obvious HetLedie is obvious. Thank goodness you're here to straighten me out. lolz
I don’t understand this . None of my heroes like Superman or Spider-Man do not look like me at all and yet I’ve never cared. Hmmmmmm
nice double negative..have no idea what u are saying ..probably just as well
Yeah, why can't Spidey be black? Since we've already had an African-American Commander-In-Chief, the idea doesn't seem too far-fetched, does it?
Too baby they made him bland as Hell in the movie, yet they improved Blade in the movie vs the comic version.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHH give it time,theyll figure out a way to make spider man black just like they do with all the other characters theyve turned into blacks.
Could Black Panther be white?
