Best Current RPG Artist?

[talinthas]

since we're talking _current_, i'd have to go with Lockwood, Vinod Rams, and Matt Stawicki.

Old school, and we get Brom and Elmore. Unfortunatly i havent seen much from either these days.

Oooh!, there are so many cool artists around today, let alone from days gone by. Let's see...

Definitely a big fan of Adrian Smith, kudos to Yuval for getting him for Red Spire. Paul Bonner is another ex-GW artist who is superb.

Lovin' Wayne Reynolds' work at the moment, and a big fan of Lockwood and Wood too.

Guys who are relatively new and should be getting top gigs-
Andy Brase (Braz)- great detailed pen and ink style, awesome stuff for Midnight.

Ralph Horsley- great, detailed, classical and classy work.

But the Master is Frazetta, it's what he doesn't need to paint that makes him so good.

Well, thats my two penneth worth.

I've always been a huge Todd Lockwood fan; I really like Jason Engle's work, too (picked up a whole slew of his originals at GenCon; I love his linework).

One of the books I picked up at Gen Con was Larry Elmore's Women of the Woods. It is a D20 NPC book that has detailed write ups of several female NPCs with all the illustrations by Elmore.

elmore's current art just isnt as cool as his older stuff, imo.

For current Comic artists I have to go with Aaron Williams, but Dave Trampier is still my overall favorite.

I love Wayne Reynolds stuff. Also dig Stephanie Law, Sam Wood, Todd Lockwood, and Tony D.

One of my favorites that I have not seen mentioned is Mark Sasso. His colors are incredibly vibrant.
