Favourite Artist for a Character

#1 Posted by Shawnbaby (5858 posts) - 9 months, 6 days ago - Show Bio

Everyone has their Favourite Artists...but the question here is...Who do you think draws certan characters the best.

To start off I have three choices

1. Adam Kubert/ Wolverine

I think Adam always did a really good job of capturing Logan's savage nature

2. Mark Bagley/ Spider-Man

I've always felt Bagley draws the perfect build for Spider-Man. Really lean athletic muscle

3. Alan Davis/Nightcrawler

Alan Davis just always seemed to be able to capture the essence of Nightcrawler.

Bagley and Deodato are tied for best capturing Spidey's build, but I like how he looks with Bachalo's style.

I also like Deodato's She-Hulk.

I like how Finch does Moon Knight.

It's Maleev for Daredevil. Rivera is a close second.

Coipel for modern Thor.

I like the Batverse as done by Dustin Nguyen, though I don't think he's the definitive Bat artist. There's a lot of good ones.

Dodson for Wonder Woman.

Reis for Green Lantern.

And I'm pretty sure most will agree that Adam Hughes does a lot of women really well, but I love him for his Catwoman covers.

I totally agree about Finch/Moon Knight

But while I do like Bachalo I think my favourite character pairing with him is Death of the Endless:

@Shawnbaby: Scratch that, I just remembered that I liked Bachalo in SHED so I guess he actually pairs with the Lizard, not Spidey.

@ragdollpurps: "I know her men killed Tito but hey she's hot dammit."

I haven't picked up the new book yet but this little exchange is making me want to go get it right now because Cloonan came back for #7 I believe.

For me, I think Marshall Rogers and Terry Austin will always be the correct answer for Batman. These books are 35 years old, and I still haven't seen a better Batman IMHO. Even with the better paper and artist tools they use now.

I have to disagree with anyone that pairs up Jim Lee with anyone. It's not that he isn't a great artist...but all of his characters tend to look the same. None of his characters ever really stand out. That's just my opinion. I do love his art..I just wish he'd spend a bit more time on making the characters more unique

All of the men have the same build and facial structure. Same goes for the Women. Even Wolfsbane and Feral look nearly identical...despite the fact that one is a wolf and the other a cat.

#37 Posted by gunmetalgrey (716 posts) - 9 months, 5 days ago - Show Bio

Mattina for Azrael and Warmachine.

I like how Dell'Otto does Silver Surfer or anyone who's shiny in general.

#38 Edited by Shawnbaby (5858 posts) - 9 months, 5 days ago - Show Bio

My personal Favourite Silver Surfer Artist Ron Lim.

Always been partial to John Byrne's Superman. Admittedly his style is a bit "old fashioned" but then again...so is the man of steel

#39 Posted by DoomDoomDoom (2956 posts) - 9 months, 5 days ago - Show Bio

Allred's depiction of Metamorpho in Wednesday Comics was spot-on.

Ben Oliver makes Batwing look super badass.

#41 Posted by TDK_1997 (9645 posts) - 9 months, 5 days ago - Show Bio

#42 Posted by gunmetalgrey (716 posts) - 9 months, 5 days ago - Show Bio

Definitely LuVisi for Bane.

#43 Posted by Night Thrasher (2701 posts) - 9 months, 5 days ago - Show Bio

I've always been partial to Steve Skroce's Spider-Man

#44 Posted by Manwhohaseverything (876 posts) - 9 months, 5 days ago - Show Bio

When it comes to illustrating God/Goddess-like characters, no one better than Mike Deodato JR. IMO. Loved both his Wonder Woman and Thor, and would've loved to have seen him illustrate a cross-over.

Humberto Ramos and Mark Bagely: Spider Man

I must admit...These Batmans are awesome. I never liked Marshall Rogers b/c I felt his Silver Surfer was off, but his Batman looks sweet.
