[html]Pretty self explanatory question. Who are your favourite artists in graphic novels and manga?<br><br>For me, first off the list is Stuart Immonen. This guy is simply FANTASTIC. His characters actually look cartoony compared to the usual gritty realism most comics go for and his panelling and attention to detail is second to none. His pacing is always rock solid, the way my eyes follow the page is like I'm actually watching a film. The guy is simply genius. <br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="" "><br><img" src="" "><br><br><div" style="text-align: left;">Second up is Eiichiro Oda of One Piece. Some people can't really stand the art style, I LOVE IT. It's so distinctive and unique, not to mention the sheer level of detail this guy packs into the art. Granted, he probably has assistants helping him with the background, but to think he does the story, layout, composition and characters of twenty pages PER WEEK at the least... it's just insane.<br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="" "><br><br><div" style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 1247px; height: 926px;" src="" "><br><br><div" style="text-align: left;">Lastly, another mangaka; Hiroyuki Takei. The guy doesn't get enough love but his stuff is also great, really distinctive character design and fantastic line art. His stuff really seems like a blend between western graphic novel art and the typical anime style. I love it.<br><br><div style="text-align: center;"><img style="width: 887px; height: 665px;" src="" "><br><img" src="" "><br><br><hr" style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"><br></div></div></div></div></div><img style="width: 379px; height: 240px;" src="" "><br>"
