I dont like to play favorites, all artists should be revered for their talents...<br><br>But I guess if I had to choose at this given moment..um..D.C. Simpson for drawing such cool characters and the current pencillers for the Spiderman comics and Ninja turtle series.<br><br>But thats just me... <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Netraptor is a really good Sonic artist. D.C. Simpson is the best comic strip-style artist I've ever seen. The people at several mature (Not what you're thinking) message boards are pretty good.

I meant mature as in non-stupid. I didn't want to be taken the wrong way. And yes, we Americans do put too much idiocy in our censorship. Too bad, anyway.

Not really a fan of what most people would consider "art"...heck, I'm a cartoonist <!--emo&:wag:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ailwag.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tailwag.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>But anyhoo, here are my artists (in no particular order)<br><br>DC Simpson (heck, I pretty much copied the guy to get where I am now ^^<!--emo&;)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><a href='http://colonel-strawberry.deviantart.com/' target='_blank'>Colonel Strawberry</a> (an awsome artist, and a really freindly person to boot)<br><a href='http://cunningfox.deviantart.com/' target='_blank'>Cunningfox</a> (There's just something about her art that I really love)<br><a href='http://octanbearcat.deviantart.com/' target='_blank'>Octan</a> (not just being an ass-kisser, I really like his work.

Visually, and among cartoonists? Bill Watterson. (Kind of an obvious choice, I know. But he inspires me. I work with a brush specifically because he did.)<br><br>Among fine artists? I love impressionism. Particularly Monet.<br><br>And...I actually was heavily influenced by John Lennon's drawings. He had this loose, surreal pen-and-ink style. The poems and illustrations in "In His Own Write" and "A Spaniard in the Works," I believe, suggest that if he had not been a Beatle, he could have been the British Shel Silverstein. (I <i>think</i> Silverstein was American, wasn't he?)

[Rooster]

Yeah he was. Dunno who he was though, but I googled him <!--emo&:wag:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ailwag.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tailwag.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I can't close the page. It's taking control of me.

[Arloest]

Thomas Kincade... his art is so atmospheric, and it's indeed a good atmosphere.

[Softpaw]

Among furry artists, I like FoxChild, Adam Wan, and J. Willard<br><br>Among fine art, I like Dali<br><br>And DC Simpson is in a league of his own <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
