Hey, I was wondering who peoples favorite artist is and why? It’s always great seeing what your favorite artist has done and may still be doing. Personally my Favorite artist is Ryo Ueda. I love his old school ex cards those being some of my favorite cards in the hobby period and he has also done some phenomenal cards for worlds and trophies. Below are some of my personal favorites. Let me know who yours is. I’d love to hear it.
Can’t say I can choose just one, since I love a few and their many varied arts, so I’ll choose 3:
Tomokazu Komiya
Love how iconic their cards are. I loved them as a kid because I thought it was a kid who drew them, not knowing at the time that they’ve perfected an art style meant to represent kid art: Atsuko Nishida
Her art is timeless. She continues to display beautiful pieces of art in her depictions of Pokemon that make her art feel ethereal:
Tokiya
Always known for his badass displays of powerful Pokemon. If Nishida is the Milotic of Illustrators, it only makes sense that Tokiya is the Gyarados counterpart:
Honorable mentions who could easily be placed alongside these 3: Arita, Sugimori, Himeno, Kusajima, and Masago.
Mine would be Naoki Saito. The cards drawn by them have vibrant colors and tend to have thick strokes that make the details extremely clear. They’ve also drawn for a Hatsune Miku combined into Digimon collaboration in the past.
