And on topic, Adi Gronov_is his work digital?

His coloring certainly is. He used to have a step-by-step process description on his old site, but he took it down. It's a shame too, because it had a lot of images on it that can't be found in his new gallery, like his non-Marvel stuff.

Yeah it certainly looks to be digital. Good stuff. I like his Iron Man.

wow wow wow.
Deadpool is the only Marvel book I read. Everything else is trash. Not art wise, and yes some of the epic universe stories are interesting, but the constant changes to characters, changes of origin stories etc.

The current writers of Deadpool are spot on and the whole creative team is doing some amazing stuff.
'nuff said.

And than Liefeld. Sure he isnt the best, sure its fun to look at his pieces and pick at everything thats wrong. But, he delivers artwork the catches readers eyes and sells books base off of fan base. Which makes him a pretty valuable player in the comic field.

Enough with the drama and everything everybody already knows.

Favorite comic artist.

Greg Capullo- one of my favorite all around artist as well. The guy is untouchable.

Johnny Craig- The Godfather of Horror and one of the masters of ECcomics.

3rd place is way too hard to decide. Its a tie between:
Todd McFalane- Spider-man would have died 20 years ago without him

Ryan Ottley- Fantastic Artist. Has a huge future in the field. And one of the coolest sketch blogs out there.

Jod Mad!- who actually went down a notch with Ultimates 3.

Udon Crew- what these guys do as a team his incredible. Not to mention when they ink or color somebody elses work it makes it 10 times better.

*Samhain* · 02-19-2010, 02:24 PM

Love Capullo. Him and Mcfarlane are beastly. I wish Mcfarlane Oiginal art ws easier to come by. His Spidey is my fav. And I love Joe Mad! If it wasnt for him, I dont think id be half as interested in Darksiders as I am.

*discordiatookie* · 02-19-2010, 03:30 PM

Hmm, I really dig the art of D'israeli and Paul Grist. Both have very distinct styles. Carlos Ezquerra was my favourite artist when I was growing up. He cocreated Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog for 2000AD.

Frank Miller is awesome, I could reread his Sin City books and The Dark Knight Returns over and over again.

I love Ryan Ottley's work in Invincible. He's awesome.

In the TMNT universes, my favourite would probably be AC Farley. Eric Talbot a close second.

So, uuh, a wee bit more than three, but och well...

*Samhain* · 02-19-2010, 04:25 PM

Yeah there are too many to pick just 3. lol. Its hard. Maybe this can be a thread where we just share our fav artists and not have to pick just 3. Could a Mod change the title to ''Favorite comic book artists''? That way we can just talk freely about whatever artist and we wont have to limit to just 3. Thanks.

met Jim zubkavich from UDON last week during Animex festival, got myself a drawing he did for me featuring GIR from invader zim.

made a drawing to him with me shaking him screaming I can work for peanuts

I'm subtle

*Samhain* · 02-19-2010, 05:53 PM

Cool man. Anybody here like Ethan Van Sciver? His work on GL: Rebirth was what got me into reading comics again. Met him and his wife and they are pretty cool people. Got a Hal Jordan commission from him. Super easy to deal with, well atleast he used to be.

*Koi* · 02-19-2010, 06:47 PM

Man this is hard... John Picacio, George Perez, and maybe Mike Mignola. But their are way to many good artist's to just name three.

Ethan Van Sciver is the man. I like too many artists to even try to start name dropping.

*Powder* · 02-19-2010, 08:04 PM

Craig (AC) Farley
Frank Fosco
Kevin Eastman back in the day.

Other then Usagi Yojimbo, TMNT, & Savage Dragon I really don't read comics... So yeah.

*Krutch* · 02-20-2010, 06:00 AM

I hate to be the guy who rolls with mainstream names, but I cant help it. I love their stuff. Jim Lee, Alex Ross, Jay Scott Campbell, The Lunas Bros, Phil Hester, and I'll throw in Scott McCloud for good measure.

Oh, and I'm totally missing Michael Turner's artwork. Sad he left us so young.

Also a huge fan of Sebastian Piriz. But I'm a bit biased, since he drew my first comic I wrote

I know man it sucks, last week I saw Turner in something?(tv, or magazine)
And there's like an empty hole in my body every time I see his work or his photo.
He is deeply missed.

*Oculus Orbus* · 02-20-2010, 08:52 AM

I love so many comics artists. If I had to choose just one, I'd say Duncan Fegredo. For me, he's simply the best. Other than that, I don't really read many mainstream comics, so most of my favourite artists are more into indie or underground stuff: Chris Ware, Daniel Clowes, Charles Burns, Anders Nilsen... you know.

*Raph's Girl* · 02-20-2010, 09:14 AM

LeSean
AC Farley
Kevin Eastman
Jim Lee
Eric Talbot

Lordmylar06 · 02-20-2010, 10:56 AM

Oh geez. Here goes.

Charlie Adlard
Chris Bachalo
Ed Mcguinness
AC Farley
Eric Talbot
Adam Hughes
Alvin Lee
Mark Brooks
Joe Ng
Charles Holbert Jr.
Jim Lee

... I could make a mile long list, and it's hard to put any one artist on the top because I like them for different reasons.

*Samhain* · 02-20-2010, 12:29 PM

I agree wth all the above mentioned. Love Jim Lee. Got a Gambbit sketch from him. Nice dude.

Heres a vid of him doing a 8 minute Gambit Commission. This is not mine but it just shows you how much of a badass this guy is.

Thats is what count. Plus, he created friggin DEADPOOL! Rob liefeld owns everyone just for that.

. Thnx.

Yeah. He's great.

*Powder* · 02-21-2010, 06:14 AM

Breast implants?

jaymq · 02-21-2010, 08:20 AM

Andres Ponce. Loved issue 36, it's what brought me back into the comics. Loved the way the turtles were done and the overall issue. Michael Dooney is my favorite turtle artist I think though, Ponce did less than a handful of issues, yea?

Not familiar with the other two offhand.

Michael Turner back in the 90s when he started on the Witchblade.

Stan Sakai.

May come back and add more, those are off the top of my head.
