My fav artist would be Stan Lee, he has done great work in X-Men and Spider-man, just among the few...
[color=white] I may be wrong on this (and I'm certainly not trying to offend anyone), but Stan Lee never actually put pen to paper to create a single comic book as an artist. Stan was (and watch recent interviews for the words from Stan the Man himself on this) more the "Idea man" for many, many, many Marvel titles (my favorite, Spider-Man, included--and you must see Spider-Man 2! It rocks!). Stan has my utmost respect, you should know.
As for my vote, I give it to Alex Ross. His realistic style would be fantastic for the Halo universe, were money no object. Look at his work in the large size books on Superman,Batman, and Wonder Woman, and the "Kingdom Come" or, better yet, "Marvels" graphic novels. Ross tends to paint his covers, if not the entire work for the books he does. He uses models to get the right proportions and dimensions (Nightmare Armor, anyone?) and the results show the care and time he puts in.
Good to hear from a Bungie employee, Mehve. I can't wait to see the Halo 2 action figures and box art. Any chance we'll see another Halo 2 magazine cover before November 9th?
Anyway, keep up the great work.[/color]
