Hello to all the community! I wanted to ask if you guys have any good artist i could collect which is rather unknown and maybe not super expensive to complete. I mean not someone like Komiya or Kanda that have cards that go for over 300 euros.
On the top of my head the first underrated artist i can think of is Mori-Yuu.
I would like to find other artists that have few cards that i can go and hunt down at local shops or trade with other people.
Thank you in advance for the help!
sHiNJi KaNDa lol
No but for real I’m a very fresh artist recognizer so I’ll let you know when I find someone who should be more popular
I collect REND cards they have a small hand full of Illustration rares most of which are under $5! They make such beautiful pieces.
oooooo… very pretty!
Some that I love for their beautiful backgrounds:
Mori Yuu
Haru Akasaka
Narano
Some that I love for their lineless art style:
Hyogonosuke
Jerky
Taiga Kasai
Other artists i really like:
Atsushi Furusawa
Oku
Kiyotaka Oshiyama
I don’t know about underrated, but…
If you’re after a newer artist, you might like OKUBO. The most expensive card I saw was around 30 USD:
For vintage check out Masako Yamashita. Some Vending and several common/uncommon from Neo and e-Series:
Both have around 30-40 cards.
Alongside my overrated artists binders, I started a Sekio binder recently. The style is immediately recognizable, with its strong hand drawn feel
When sorting through bulk I can’t help myself picking out these little aquarelles
She has only illustrated 3 cards so far, but check out Yoshimoto Yoshimon. Her art style is a standout.
Very cool art! Personally not a big fan of his syle but I love the close shots and how well the lighting is arranged in their illustration
Tysm for all the suggestions, personally out of all the ones you suggested i really love the vibrant colors of Narano and Jerky, thank you so much for making me discover them!
I really like Zig
He only has 12 cards so far and his last was scarlet and violet base so maybe only 12 cards
I really like Masako Yamashita, but for what I’ve seen for now their collection is a bit expensive ahaha
Very very nice, ill be on the lookout if she makes more art!
This artist completely went over my head, thank you so much for letting me find out abt him!
Umemoto is a woman - I also love her vending cards and e-series
My pick is Shin-ichi Yoshida, lots of cards there that are really good (vending hitmonlee) but unfortunately also a few duds…
