I completely agree with those two choices. I could look at those two art styles all day.Squilookle said:Herge. Not the most intricate looking visuals, but I consider story a part of the artform and those combined to make his work unbeatable.
Miyazaki's work on Nausicaa was pretty phenomenal too, though.
Woop Woop, glad to see there's another George Perez fan in the house. My favorite of his is the Morgan Le Fey Arc on The Avengers... where he draws Medieval Versions of EVERY AVENGER EVER and it's amazing!Fappy said:I've always been a fan of classic Jack Kirby if we're talking super hero comics.
Perez is a baller too:
Holy balls man! Thank you so much for making me find Vagabond. I've read the book a zillion times and it's one of my favorite books ever. I had no idea it had been adapted into a manga. I knew something was up when I recognized the name Tsujikaze Temma. Thanks dude!Bocaj2000 said:Pro tip. ANY SEINEN MANGA HAS GREAT ART.
However, my favorite is probably Takehiko Inoue
From his environment:
To his characters
To his watercolors
Takehiko Inoue is probably the best manga artist out there.
Steel Ball Run, that was the jump to Seinen. You're right, there was a noticable jump in art for the backgrounds but also for the characters and general chapter length. Part 5 and 6 were both better artwise than 4 though pretty much everyone has four for their favourite.Hectix777 said:Well that was because Araki got JJBA from a shonen to a seinen. When he was with shonen he was on a tight deadline but once he hit seinen his art just exploded. Part V was when JJBA became seinen, right? That's my theory.CaptainMarvelous said:While JJBA is probably my favourite manga of all time, the art tends to fluctuate a little bit. Story quality and such is nearly always freaking awesome but the art for Part 1 and 4 could use some work.
OT: Oh! Great for Manga (because despite the fact he's a giant perv that guy can DRAW) and... I kinda feel Jack Kirby but for modern ones, Tony S Daniel did my favourite art for Superman ever in Action Comics 18 so guess he's getting it (even if he can't write for s***)
Jan Duursema? She did the artwork on Star Wars: Legacy. And more recently, Dawn of the Jedi.Scentedwiind said:I never pay attention to the artist names, to my ultimate detriment. I have enjoyed the stylized comic books from dark horse on the Star Wars franchise though I can never remember the names of those who make them.
