Well, finally I found the SoulFire series, and there is one thing to say about them - I have one new favorite artist! Michael Turner is my second favorite!

Do you have any links to his art work that you can share snow? I mean to some of your favorite images of his.

You should post links to their works that you like the best. I would like to see what you like.

Well, I would Byrne, but I haven't the slightest clue how to do that. I really do need to learn. I'm so behind. Sigh.

As soon as I move, I'll get my friend to show me and then I'll also put up some pictures of my artwork. I think you guys might like it. The last thing I've been drawing is a pic of Batman. It's Jim Lee mixed with Joe Mad!, I personally think. I'll put it up soon and see what you guys think.
As for more artists, I've been checking out Talent Caldwell. He's definitely a mix of Mike Turner and Joe Mad!. I can't wait until his style develops more.
J. Scott Campbell is another one. Very cartoony, but very very good. Looking forward to his Spidey. His style suits the character well.
Mike Turner is another no-brainer. To me, he's a little overrated, but his style is great. It's just that he always seems to be drawing the same thing or same image, just in a different costume or pose. Plus they always have him drawing women. Enough already! I get the fact that you can draw women well. Really well. But, draw something different already. Same goes to you, Campbell. I was glad to see him drawing Batman, Superman, and co. and now the Civil War covers. I am glad to see that Turner's working on Wolverine. That should be interesting.
The Kuberts. Awesome. Glad to see the move to DC. Andy Kubert's Batman rocks. I don't like Superman much, but Adam's take on him is pretty good.
Ed McGuinness. If you like big, bulky characters, he's your man. Plus, an art style influenced by Joe Mad! doesn't hurt.
That's about it. I picked my brain enough today, so I'll catch you guys later.

Maverick1104, I have to disagree with you for what you say about Mike Turner. Well, his most famous chicks are Aspen and Grace - both are very different, and if you look at both deeply you'll see that Aspen is much different from Grace. Both may have similar faces, but they are also so different. The same goes and for MAD! - he also makes his character with similar faces, but they're all recognizable. And that he (Mike) likes drawing chicks is nice, but fortunately he doesn't make a whole comics with each panel focused on the chick's breasts or butt. I hope you have read Soulfire and saw how much this comics is different from all I have seen so far!

I agree with you on most of your comments, snow, but I still think Turner is overrated. Though, very very good, I just think he draws the same drawing over sometimes. And I did also say the same about Campbell. Those two are great artists and I hold them as some of my favorites, but it just seems to me that they can sometimes draw the same drawing over again. Not that they do it all the time. Mad! on the other hand, has characters that are fat, skinny, muscular, cartoony, realistic. His art can and is for the most part, all over the place. I don't see Turner and Campbell ever really drawing fat people. I want to be surprised when I flip the page. With Turner and Campbell, though, I kinda already know what I'm going to get. I don't know if this makes sense to you, but hey, it's only my opinion. Everyone is different, y'know?

Good point there Maverick, I think that you have some good views and it sounds as though you have, in truth thought this out. Therefore, I respect your opinion.

Who's the person that draws the Castlevania covers for the games. I believe it's a woman, I just don't remember her name. She's awesome.
