post 'em here ~ all areas apply: favorite artisans, painters or illustrators whose work inspires & in some cases - keeps us sane amongst an insane world.. ;p
i would say that i favor the following: Kyousuke Fujishima ~ creator of Oh My Goddess! Kohime Ohse ~ illustrator of Atelier Marie Ryo Mizuno & Yoshihiko Ochi ~ Record of Lodoss War - The Grey Witch series Rumiko Takahashi ~ creator of Ranma 1/2 ~out of all styles, i'm drawn to well drawn anime - some of the productions out there are fantastic, others still need to be in a museum ~ also, it fascinates me on how numerous manga comics are penciled & inked by a singular artist.. -.O |

My favorite artist is Vincent Van Gough. Although, I dont know as much about him as I wish I did, I just know some of the basic stuff, like where he was born (France)his style (surrealism) etc. I also Kenny Scharfs stuff too. Im pretty sure most people are familiar with his work, especially if you live in New york. He was a post modern graffitti artist, He does the pictures with this like bubble block guy. Its usually in black and white and he has similar characters in it like a bubble block dog. I believe in like the Late 80s early 90s alot of people where wearing shirts by this guyand, they would usually say a message like or something like "peace" or whatever you know.
As for anime, it would most definatly have to be Miyazaki. For those who dont know Hayao Miyazaki is the creator of many great films as Princess Mononoke, Castle in the sky, Spirited away and other classics. He and studio Ghibli have gone on to make many wonderful masterpieces. Disney was fortunate enough to pick up all of his works and bring them to american shores. If your into anime and are a real anime fan, I would suggest picking up all of his works. They make you feel like a kid again and truly are great pieces of work. -------------------- "Brotherhood asked for no friendship, only loyalty.

very nice, Dive.. =) the image of Jim Lee's batman & catwoman has a beautiful inked style, ~ it's nice to see that i'm not the only one that merges the bridge between old & new schools of art; art is art ~ the myth of untouchable art need no longer apply.. ^.- lol, i found another to submit to my collection of favorites ~ i came across this last night when searching for images of Deedlit; it's a fan-drawn piece, i instantly fell in love with the style...it's beautiful ~ truly, only the love for this character could guide one's hand for this work.. =} i wish i learned about this work upon its release so i could have purchased it.. ^.^

Those are two guys actually. William Hannah and Joseph Barbara. As for my picks, I like the work of Junya Ishigaki (mecha designer for Xenogears, Xenosaga, and some of the Gundam series to name a few) and whoever did the artwork for the Super Robot Wars games. -------------------- "Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid.

mr. ishigaki's art is impressive, DarkEpyon ~ the level of sophistication is amazing.. i like mech designs *nods* the complexity & majesty is something that i couldn't imagine doing in several lifetimes...lol, the folks at NASA need to sit down & take notes.. ;p
curious ~ are you only interested in JP mech designs? you familiar with Battletech? =. if you like mechs, then you would definitely like Mech Assault for x-box.. |

My uncle also did an amazing recreation of Michaelangelos sistene chapel on one side of the wall. He did one of the frames because it would have been too much to do the whole thing. It was the one where the guy is sitting and streaching out his arm and sticking out his index finger. As if reaching for the other guy, who appears to be god or some saint who is extending his arm toward him from atop a cloud surrounded by other people. I really loved that room. -------------------- "Brotherhood asked for no friendship, only loyalty.
