Your underrated favorite artist

[Stark]

I was looking through Noxizmad's thread (courtesy of hm333) and I realize that there are some people on this site and not on this site that are just overlooked. I personally find Bumskee (Min) to have some exposure, but I think he is underrated in terms of how fast he lvled and how useful he really is. He's the nicest and most modest guy I know, right after Mike C.

So, all I wanna know is who do you think is underrated and should get more exposure or more comments/critiques? I'm not looking for the ass pat of the year award for whatever you guys choose, but someone who deserves to have his/her work looked at a bit more closely.

My list:

Bumskee
Cookiedough
Texahol
DamienFlux
Openanewworld

I have more, but those are just the ones off the top.

I totally agree, Starkablez. Bumskee is really underrated. He's got teh skizillz. Cookie's art is really awesome and so original. And Tex has improved by the bucketloads. That's really all I have to add. I'll put some new names in here later...

Tell you the truth I don't think any of em are under rated. I think all there sketchbooks are 5 stars. I remember Bumskee winning lots of CHOW. I think all the Marko threads are purely cause he's accomplished something in art that we all want. "Making it look easy".

Tensai
Manu_is_Malin
Bumskee
Tom (Idiot Apathy)
DanielC

few more I can't think of right now....

M.C. Barrett. Check out his work in the Guild Wars threads. It's amazing stuff. He's one of those artists who can design good looking creatures, costumes, architecture, and vehicles with equal ease, and his paintings have a great sense of light and shadow. He pretty much only posts artwork in the Guild Wars image dump threads though, which is probably why he doesn't seem that well known.
Other peoples:
-Fungi- good designer, very nice sense of color and value. Doesn't post very often at all.
-Caskin (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=80126)- Good creature designer.
-AztcFireFlower (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=81093)- Freaking amazing figure drawing skills.
-Auden100 (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=32420)- Another one with fantastic design skills, yet hasn't posted in months. Check him out anyway.

Min has a complex, I think he's blushing himself into a coma just because his name was mentioned in this thread ;)

We need images in this thread

[Stark]

I wouldn't doubt it Interceptor. That guy is a really cool person and is always willing to help and listen to criticism even from the likes of me. Can't get enough of slinging his name around.

Openanewworld FOR SURE.

Idiot apathy, Daniel C, Sirgreensock.. have you seen the sheer amount of work he puts out? And it's all like shaded and colored and stuff...

Armando has some rad skillz as well.

Ironbrush isn't so much underrated as sort of under the radar. This dude is infreakincredible.
