It’d be nice to know what artists doing VNs you like and dislike, preferrably with links to their art.
As for me, as weird as that might sound, I haven’t yet played a single game drawn my favorite artist at the moment, Peko. His work on Konayuki Fururi caught my eye, but the game is not available in English, as well as any of his other works (I couldn’t even find if there are any, actually). I’ve only found this gallery. [size=85]He seems to be drawing a lot of Yuri, which gives him some extra points from me![/size] :mrgreen:
As for disliked artists, the only one that comes to mind is Sendorikun, whose work you all know very well from all those ZyX sexromp titles (which are also not my cup of tea). The way he draws girls puts me off for some reason, something about their faces that I find unattractive…
I’m sure you all know many many great artists I’ve never even heard of, so please share.
He also did all the Sono hanabira (serie of yuri VN).
I like the arts in Yume Miru Kusuri the best, but I don’t know exactly who did it and if he is the artist of some other VN (I think there was a discussion about that before and that he didn’t do anything else).
Itou Noizi (Unison Shift and more mainstream stuff like Haruhi and Shana), Ooyari Ashito (Littlewitch)… and that’s all I can think of off the top of my head. I’m not very good with names.
Favourites, from most favourite to least favourite: (note that I feel this thread is awfully familiar, although I guess this is listing my favourites, not ones I think are “objectively” good)
I probably forgot quite a few.
(note- most links are to the game’s galge.com page, and you should assume they are not safe for work. The first time you visit one, you will be asked to click the left button to confirm you are over 18)
No love for Rinshin or Mitsumi Misato? T_T
Lamuness should smack whoever doesn’t like 323!
Oh, yes, I forgot about Tony Taka --probably because, as much as I like his art, I avoid the games for which he does the art because most of them are pretty… “average”.
Thought about Mitsumi, but.. ehh, the only game she worked on that had art I liked was Tenshi no Inai 12gatsu, and the art for that still had a few too many problems - although I guess she’s pretty evidently more talented than Itaru or Iuro, I mostly included those because I liked the style than because of the overall quality. In short, I think there’s just too many artists at Mitsumi Misato’s level to include her on the list.
I’ve never heard of 323 and plugging ‘323’, ‘???’, ‘???’, ‘???’, ‘???’, ‘???’ etc. into EGS and doing a search returns zilch. I tried a few Google queries and found nothing either. More info please =P
Give France Shoujo a spin, it’s not average at all.
It’s not necessarily GOOD, mind, but it’s so unusual ‘average’ is the last thing you could call it =P
Well, nonetheless it is a valid example =P
As far as Ciel games go, I’ve been playing After… and it’s not too bad so far. Doesn’t exactly seem ‘average’. That said, it doesn’t hold a candle to France Shoujo in terms of the art quality, but the scenario is interesting.
