you should probably try to classify artists by the age in which their artistic contributions were significant

Great, we can have another contest that runs forever. I think the BA Survivor contest shows it`s best to start with about 20, otherwise it just drags on for too long.

Thats why it is a preliminary list.

To be truthful to one's self I don't see how a "best artist" can be chosen unless there are criteria that have to be met in order to qualify...ie: amount of work... specific genre...yada yada yada...

 

 

Perhaps if you were to make catagories and see who gets chosen as the best at that catagory...

 

For example:

 

Best at portraying the human anatomy.

Best at showing fluid motion.

Best storyteller .

Most prolific.

Yeah think kirby would win easy without catagories because he created so many characters.

 

[rza808]

I like the list and I think Neal Adams or Frazetta wins best artist although Frazetta is mostly mags he did it for me more than Kirby ever did
