Do the styles really have to be "badass"?

Anyways, I'd say this guy's.

And here's a pretty badass picture he did.

well i meant awesome

Ah, good, another Awesome Art thread. We used to have one, but I think it got lost. At least, I can't find it anymore.

ANYWAY,



Shaun Tan. I'm going to go out on a limb and say he's possibly my favourite. Mostly does picture books.







Do I win a prize?

ALSO: Pina is fantastic!

[ChevyRay]

I was recently inspired by the badassness of this:

[roboprez]

YES! Shaun Tan has most badass drawings ever! My favorite book has to be The Arrival
(Some pages from The Arrival)



I also got the pleasure of meeting Mr Tan! It was awesome! He came around to my primary school and brought some of his original pictures from the books!

James Jean, one of my faves, without a doubt.




Sparth, another alltime favorite.



Dan McPharlin, awesome. Incredible sci-fi-ness.


Chevy: Holy stuff, man, source?

[ChevyRay]

@Xion: Pietepiet showed it to me, he found it here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=374094

That thread sort of links to the sources of all the different pictures.

And yes, the Arrival was a masterpiece.

[Gainsworthy]

What is... this feeling? LOVE?

That must've been so cool. I remember being wowed by The Rabbits when I was 6. So grim, and yet so beautifully illustrated. I must track down all of his books I haven't yet read! Especially The Arrival.

[MaloEspada]

I personally like Jacek Yerka's style

[Simon Andersson]

This thread needs more Rodney Matthews!

[LemonScented]

If we're doing awesome sci-fi art, how about some Chris Foss? Or Mr. H. R. Giger? Masters in their fields, IMHO.

I'd post images but I imagine everyone here is already aware of their works. If not, go look 'em up.

This really needs to be posted

Good ole Craig. He was a big inspiration for me in high school.

This guy has taken a new approach to the style of Sam Keith, which was a new approach to the style of Frank Frazetta. They are my favorite artists.

Ooh, yeah, he's (yet another) favorite of mine. Got a new site since last I czeched. Groovy.

That Tim Kelly guy is rad as well, I'd never heard of him.

[roboprez]

Wow TimKelly's Amazing! I really want to make something in that thick black line style. Unfortunately I can't draw for crackers  . There's a friend of mine that draws in kinda the same style but with thinner lines. He dosn't have a deviantArt or anything so I might scan some in later. Speaking of things that I want to do but can't some of you might know about Orioto.

His main thing is that he digitally paints scenes from video games. I just love his style and wish I could paint like that

[Melly]

Awesomesauce.

A Castlevania that looks like that would be ace. Kinda like Muramasa, with vampires.

[Pishtaco]

Goddammit, thanks for the Sparth link. That's exactly the inspiration I need for something.

[JLJac]

Sparth is an old fav of mine. I had a period when everything I made looked like that :D Next time you draw a landscape you'll feel how it's itching in the fingers to draw motion blurred little flakie things in the air.

His contrast between depth and flatness is pretty damn genious.

[Chris Z]

All my recent wallpapers have been something from Orioto's DA, I second the badass nomination.
