Good list Graham, although can you spoiler it atleast, tad on the long side.

This forum needs more long posts

Gotta admit, although I respect Amano's artwork, it's not exactly to my likely - has this old-school "smooth" feel to it, whereas I prefer edger stuff. Like say wicked looking spikey-hair.

Another favorite of mine is Seishi Kishimoto (younger twin of Masashi Kishimoto). Although I wasnt originally a fan, being of the opinion that he just copied his brother's style. After reading an artwork behind-the-scenes kind of book of his and learnt of the thought process that he goes through when drawing he gained my respect. He puts so much thought into his work, not worrying about how the final product looks but considering how he would draw it in the future.

^ Wow! Epic piece to show his work. Am very impressed, and slightly overwhelmed, by it.

[Lucky13]

I must say oh greats artwork i totally admire,his perspective and foreshorting are classic O.O and also the artist of the magnacarta game series,he did art in a c0mic called apple,which had different stories in it by all types of artists and designers etc,the c0mic was coloured using pc s0ftware,it l0oks awesome!! =O if  any guys from cape town are at the library in town id advise you to check it out,they have 2 volumes

I like a number of differant artist's styles, but amongst my favourites would be:

Urusawa Naota (Monster, 20th Century Boys, Pluto) - clean lines, detailed without being overwhelming (I hate over messy panels as I find it hard work absorbing the pictures).

Shimoku Kio (Genshiken) - ditto, plus he draws my fave female chara of all time (Kanoko Ohno  ).

Tsutomu Nihei (BLAME!, Noise, Biomega) - find his chara designs very scruffy and some of his panels are of the messy type I don't like (rough lines, too many sound FX thingies etc), BUT he tells awesome stories and his background perspective is just amazing - I feel as if I can dive into some of his panels and just fall forever.

Urushibara Yuki (Mushishi) - a rougher art style, but very well suites the organic nature of the stories she tells.
