actually upon looking through like 5 pages of mr. d's topic, i still think most of his stuff is better than medieve's work for sony. idk i kind of associated him with DRAWINGS OF CHUN LI but man idk, all of his shit is amazing. i was gonna link some stuff but could not decide, so basically all of his work with BOXERS and even the stuff that is more whimsical/fantasy-based and similar to what medieve does i think i prefer. like i really like his work on the boxers because it is just him drawing actual people, but i think his fantasy/scifi/weird not-real stuff is very good and interesting too. like any of these are just as good as his more reality-based stuff. they're more photorealistic than what i have seen of medieve's work, which in itself is not a good or bad thing i think, and i guess you could kind of say medieve's has more STYLISTIC APPEAL (although tbh i think the his CHARACTER DESIGN is pretty stylistic, even if the style he draws them in is more traditional or w/e), but i just like it better. it doesn't matter tho because medieve is already going to win.
yeah, this is mostly what kind of style you like most. i really think mr.d is probably the best of him and medieve, the two more fantasy-based artists, but i like pixel art more than digital paintings. i guess godpuppet would be in there as well but i haven't seen his work in a while. im9 and frankie are both pixel artists but frankie's maybe less stylistic or more detailed or something plus he's got lots of recognition already this year, which is why i went with im9. i hadn't seen any of ocean's stuff before looking at his da account and that seems good for what it is but i don't really like that kind of pixel stuff so yeah, doesn't really appeal to me. zach is probably the best traditional artist we have, i guess k0le would be in that category as well but i think his paintings lack technical skill. the one he did of hansel and gretel was great though.
that's only of those though, there's still im_so_tired who makes interesting stuff and a couple guys who do model work or animations that i can't see, plus whoever else i've forgotten because i stopped reading every topic in GA. who was that guy whose main influence was um atlantis?
