>>153404554What about Shane Glines?
>>153404554What makes Todd McFarlane just OK tier?
>>153404825Good tierKinda too derivative of Bruce Timm and Darwyn Cooke but still really nice to look at
>>153404852His style is too much of a product of it's time despite his unique design sense and his draftmanship isn't really that good Nemesis The Warlock and Marshal Law era O'Neill executes a similar exaggerated edgy shape-heavy art style better imo
You forgot Frank Quitely. I’d put Daniel Warren Johnson higher his stuff is awesome.
>>153404554Alessandro Barbucci, for Sky Doll, Lord of Burger, Ekho, and original creator of W.I.T.C.H. with Barbara Canepa
>>153404554Olivier Ledroit, for Requiem Vampire Knight, Wika and others
>>153404554Alex Alice, for Castle in the Stars, Siegfried, and others
>>153404554Robin Recht, for the Conan adaptation The Frost Giant's Daughter, Michael Moorcock's Elric Vol. 1: The Ruby Throne, and others
>>153404554That's a good list.
>>153404554>MoebiusIts wild to me that Moebius heavily inspired so much pop culture like Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli, Akira, The Matrix, 5th Elemebt and so much more shit I grew up with that I had no idea about until recently and no one ever really talks about it.
>>153404554>No Carlos Nine nor Alberto Breccia,>That hack Kirby in God tier.Troll thread
>>153404554Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri - for Druuna
>>153409749
>>153407751Dudes in the back lookin like a mix between Bing Bong and the Lion King hyenas
>>153404554Frank Miller was a good storyteller but a mediocre artist, should be in OK Tier. Neal Adams belongs in High Tier with David Mazzucchelli and old artists like Wally Wood, Bernard Krigstein, Gray Morrow, Alex Raymond, and Leonard Starr.Jack Kirby and Sergio Toppi should be bumped down to High Tier.Steve Dillon should be in OK Tier. Dave Sim/Gerhard, Brian Bolland, and James Harren should be in Good Tier.Alex Toth and Alberto Breccia in God Tier. I'll think of more in a bit.
>>153404554Bryan Lee O'Malley should be in OK TIER. I don't like his work either, but come on.
>>153413112Prove your point with a convincing example. He knows how to stylize but when he deviates there's plenty of weak points in his art. He's like Raina Telgemeier - good at what they do but lacking true technical skill.
>>153409749>>153409765Wasn’t this mostly porn?
>>153408079How did moebius inspire matrix?
>>153413508I think he meant Blade Runner.
>>153404554Eisner belongs in high tier, as does, Colan, Buscema, Miller and Byrne. You objectively cannot have the, any lower. Frankly I’d have cooke and sale there. Mckean doesn’t belong that high at all. Hes not even better than a few of your good tier guys. Romita jr is rated far too low. Janin, Gerads, Christian ward and Travis Moore belong on Greg land tier Guillem March, Gorman Parlov, and Carlos Pacheco should be in good tier. Honestly not a very good ranking at all.
>>153413362I've read all of Druuna and it's maybe 15% porn. It has a whole dystopic sci-fi plot about a generation ship lost in space and struggling to contain a plague outbreak among the passengers.
>>153414074>high tier>Miller and Byrne.No.Your ranking isn't any better.
>>153404554>GOD TIER (The Big 5)No opinion on Toppi, Moebius is placed well. I would move Frazetta and McCay down to High Tier. Maybe even Kirby, though I am a huge fan of his.Frazetta could do three things very well, but if you ever look through his portfolio, it quickly becomes a grind.McCay's political cartoons are excellent, his dream sequences inventive, but I personally wouldn't consider him god tier. His strips are a chore to read in terms of layout, lettering, "plot".>actual God TierHal Foster. In the newspapers and the comic book, he has no competitors. Phenomenal draftsmanship, the definition of realism in comic art. Multiple artists on your list - Kirby, Frazetta, Williamson, Kubert - either were influenced by him or kept his art in their swipes. Any random page of Prince Valiant blows most of these guys out of the water. Fantastic layouts and actually readable pages.Alex Toth should also be in God Tier. He knew how to tell a story through art.Wally Wood should be somewhere on the list, I'd say High. Solid artist, beautiful inker (his work on Kirby's Sky Masters is particularly breathtaking).Bernie Wrightson for High Tier.Geo. Herriman for High.
Enrico Marini deserves to be fairly high up on the list.
>>153413875How the fuck do you mix the matrix with blade runner?
Alex Toth should be in God tier, add Jordi Bernet to Good tier, and bump Joe Kubert to Good tier or high tier.
>>153414417Looks like Good Tier.
>>153404554Timm should be lower and Druillet should be higher. Any man capable of adapting Salammbo is beyond the land of peasantries.
>>153404554Too many to name.
>>153416487just name 10 more
>>153404554What about James Jean, Reiki Murakami, Kamome Shirahama, Frank Cho, and Frank Miller?
>>153409749This reminds me: Georges Lévis, despite being perverted, is a rather decent artist.
>>153404554Jack Hamm , Don Decarlo, and Kerascoet?
Alex Raymond for High, Stan Sakai for Good.>>153404554Watterson should also go down a notch. I know C&H is baby's first comic strip but he isn't that good.
>>153414147You’re insane if you think mignola, mckean, simonson or really most of the names in the tier are a better artist than either.
>>153414417No he doesn’t lol Good artist but Hes not higher than sale or Cooke The problem is OP vastly overrated some like Mignola and Mckean which makes the entire concept extremely broken
>>153418780You're insane if you don't.
>>153418780Mignola is absolutely a better artist than Miller
>>153404554Where would they(Carl Barks And Don Rosa) rank?
>>153421258Barks is god-tier. Rosa made some good fan comics.
>>153406999This>>153407751I liked him in 2008-2010.
>>153413508The Wachowskis commissioned concept art and told the guy to draw it like Moebius. Geof Darrows maybe?
>>153421334Barks is Good Tier. He's great at one thing.
>>153404554George Perez goes in high tier
>>153425600No, he's also Good Tier.
>>153425600That is not good art at all. Blegh.
