Your Dream X-Artist... with a catch

[Hakael]

Pick some artists you'd like to see on the X-Books, but here's the catch... they can't be past X-Artists. This is to see who you'd like brought in as new blood for everyones favorite mutants. If you have a specific book you'd like to see a certain artist on, feel free to name it.

Also, try to post a sample of some sort if its available.

Here's some of mine:

artist: Stefano Caselli (Avengers: The Initiative, Civil War YA/Runaways)
target book: Uncanny X-Men
http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/6097/vavengersinitiaticcv4.jpg

artist: Alex Maleev (Civil War: The Confession, Daredevil)
target book: X-Factor
http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/660/maleevwm2.jpg

artist: Ryan Ottley (Invincible)
target book: Young X-Men
http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/6177/ottleynr1.jpg

[Deep_Sleeper]

It'll never be done, because I doubt he'll ever have mainstream success. Still, it's a dream:

Eduardo Risso on Uncanny X-Men

http://bp1.blogger.com/_7S6koRX0l1w/RygnLyTgREI/AAAAAAAABmQ/XX38ouiCpLY/s1600/RissoStrip.jpg

[La Fea]

Artist: ADRIAN ALPHONA
You know him from: RUNAWAYS
Target book: ASTONISHING X-MEN
Why?: He's got the class of a flagship artist and manages to not only make pretty faces, but fantastic backgrounds and small little details that brings you into this new world that Adrian Alphona built.

http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/1011/runaways1ep7.jpg

Artist: Daniel Acuna
You know him from: UNCLE SAM AND THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS, OUTSIDERS (Covers)
Target book: X-FACTOR
Why?: He's got the elegance and noirish quality for an investigative firm, the flash of an action artist, and the funny faces Monet would make when Rictor 'accidentally' walks in on her naked again.

http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/8941/7479400x600ub2.jpg
http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/3524/usff02ss8.jpg

[La Fea]

Artist: KARL KERSCHL
You know him from: TEEN TITANS: YEAR ONE
Target book: YOUNG X-MEN
Why?: The youth book, more than any other book, needs life. It can't be ordinary and it can't be plain. Kerschl is stylized, hilarious (OMG Aqualad speaks to me!), and just overall really talented.

[Slung]

I was going to say that Ed Benes would be hot on an X-Book. (Perferably one with Jean!!) But I think he's done some issue before (not as a regular artist - but maybe a one-shot or something).

Hotness:

So, now I'll have to think about it more.

[claimtosubclaim]

Steve McNiven (Civil War, The Amazing Spider-Man)
book- Uncanny X-Men
http://powet.tv/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/civwar_2.jpg


David Aja (The Immortal Iron Fist)
book- X-Factor Investigations
http://comicsmedia.ign.com/comics/image/article/745/745662/immortal-iron-fist-the-20061113045349029.jpg


Olivier Coipel (Thor, House of M)
book- X-Men: Legacy
http://comicsmedia.ign.com/comics/image/article/842/842814/thor-20071220010754900.jpg



Pia Guerra (Y: The Last Man)
book- X-Men: First Class
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/ryandevisser/YTLM60p30.jpg

[claimtosubclaim]

Gabrielle Dell'Otto (Secret War)
book- Astonishing X-Men
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j19/ryandevisser/DellOtto.jpg

[creaky]

Olivier Coipel (Thor, House of M)
book- X-Men: Legacy


Actually, Coipel has done X-men before. He did a couple Uncanny issues with Claremont - #448 and #449.

D'oh! Oh well.

[podmark]

From those already mentioned:

Stefano Caselli (who's quickly becoming one of my favorites)
book: Young X-Men

Ryan Ottley (though I never want him to leave my precious Invincible)
book: Young X-Men, Uncanny maybe

Karl Kerschl (would have made a great rotate artist with Skottie Young for New X-Men)
book: Young X-Men

Steve McNiven
book: Uncanny X-Men

I'd like to throw in Todd Nauck, again for Young X-Men.

These days I tend to be drawn towards the more stylized art that tends to work best in books with younger cast.

[Christoffer]

artist: Alex Maleev (Civil War: The Confession, Daredevil)
target book: X-Factor
Artist: KARL KERSCHL
You know him from: TEEN TITANS: YEAR ONE
Target book: YOUNG X-MEN
Why?: The youth book, more than any other book, needs life. It can't be ordinary and it can't be plain. Kerschl is stylized, hilarious (OMG Aqualad speaks to me!), and just overall really talented.
These are great picks! :)

[Kage Kisaragi]

Adam Warren:
Book: Young X-Men
http://image.comicvine.com/uploads/item/8000/7058/2084-adam-warren_400.jpg
Why: Because he brings a youthful energy to his works. Also even despite the look of his work the guy knows how to do sequential art like we know how to be sarcastic.

Paco Madina:
Book: X-Factor
http://image.comicvine.com/uploads/item/7000/6737/173648-paco-medina_400.jpg
Why: Because he does competent work, and again can do sequential art rather well. His technique is better than his style I'll admit, but I like his style to. It's kind of inbetween cheery and moderate.

Ed Benes
Book: X-Force
http://image.comicvine.com/uploads/item/3000/2401/90756-ed-benes_400.jpg
Why: Because ... I'd like to see Benes do something on this level of rampant bloodshed. There isn't to many ways he can do cheesecake (which I don't mind at all really. :p) but it'd force people to stop labeling him as just a cheesecake artist.

[Josef F.]

Caselli's work is beautiful.
I have no interest in The initiative.
But his art on it was Bee-yootifull.
I just looked at it in the shop and was pleased.

He should be on Uncanny.
I despise Land's porno Pixie.
He should be Exiled for that.
Like.. .. Liefield exiled.

[Don Quixote]

Alex Maleev. His art would really suit X-Factor, I think.

[Shade101]

Artist: Jay Anacleto
Where you know him from: Aria
Target Book: Any X-Title
Why: His artwork is drool worthy...

http://comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=359940&GSub=31372

[ubergeekette]

Artist: George Perez
Book:Uncanny X-Men
Why? Perez is ofcourse the ultimate team artist. He can also do any type of epic story. If the X-Men want to be in space, he can do it, if they are fighting Sentinels, he can do it. Plus wouldn't you want to see him design new mutants?

[timbox]

OOoooh, good thread... I don't even think I have any new ones to add, a lot of good choices made already.

Steve McNiven or Stefano Caselli would be awesome on Uncanny,

Olivier Coipel is perfect for X-Factor.

Adrian Alphona or Stefano Caselli would work on Astonishing.

Karl Kerschl or Stefano Caselli for Young X-Men.

Steve McNiven or Olivier Coipel for X-Force.

[diablo7]

i'd like to see either bill sienkiewicz or simon bisley on x-factor or x-force

[Trey]

Risso is drawing Logan right.....now! ha. I love his stuff

Great choices. Caselli is very good, although I think the coloring on A:TI is a little off.

What ever did happen to Alphona? MIA

[pryde15]

I am going to say I agree with every single one of La Fea's choices.

[La Fea]

I am going to say I agree with every single one of La Fea's choices.

Yay! Thanks!

I'm glad there's Kerschl love! I expected him to not garner as much as love as there has been.

And isn't he totally doable???

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Kerschl

[pgonzo98]

sienkiewicz co created new mutants. if you haven't read the bear issues you've missed out.:confused:

[La Fea]

Alphona will be on Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane when writer Terry Moore joins the title!

[Hakael]

I like Karl Kerschl's work myself, but if he were to be on an X-Book I would rather he not use the style he's using with Teen Titans: Year One, just because I would prefer to keep that book its own animal, unique. He did an issue of the Deadpool solo way back that wasn't bad, though his take on Siryn was a bit frumpy.

Adrian Alphona would be an inspired choice, but he seems to have fallen off the Earth. He was announced for Spidey loves Mary Jane, but that was back during the summer and who knows when it'll ever get off the ground. Anyone know if he's working on anything now? Acuna is also solid, though for X-Factor I would probably choose somebody a bit more gritty, like Maleev or David Aja.

Pia Guerra was posted already with a suggestion for First Class, which is a great book in and of itself, but one I don't read. I think she would be awesome for X-Men: Legacy myself.

Great choices everyone!

Here's another...

Artist: Nic Klein

Ah! That's sexy.

I really dislike the style he uses on the New Warriors covers, but that's pretty hot.

[ThePhenom]

Artist: Bryan Hitch
Title: Uncanny X-Men
Why: Because it would be damn epic, very facially based on a book packed with characters that everyone knows and loves, I would've picked Astonishing but the tone Hitch sets doesn't seem wrong. It would also force him to draw their costumes as opposed to his typical costume design which is starting to wear thin.

Artist: Pasqual Ferry
Title: Young X-Men
Why: Well, I don't know how I feel about his non-cosmic art but nonetheless he has this heavy stylised art that would seem right, it's kind of bright and colourful perfect for a younger X-Men book.

Artist: Cary Nord
Title: Cable
Why: His facework and individuals just look perfect to me, but I can't imagine him on a team book, thus something like this would be perfect I think.

Artist: Stefano Caselli
Title: Ultimate X-Men
Why: Brighter, kind of more upbeat art, cartoony but not so that it takes away from action or more serious scenes, all the reasons named. I always imagined him in UXM though because they are still teens (ala the Initiative) and this is the main X-title I read.

[Hakael]

Not a big fan of Hitch myself, but some of his work on the Ultimates was impressive. Hasn't he had a stint on X-Men though? or am I imagining things?

Spot on with Ferry and Nord though.

[Diablito]

ARTIST: Mike Mignola
FAMOUS WORKS: Hellboy
DREAM TITLE: Uncanny X-Men, New X-Men

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/15/Hellboy-Mignola.jpg

[rwsmith]

Mine have already been said:

- Steve McNiven

- Bryan Hitch

- Ed Benes

Luckily I'm already getting McNiven on Wolverine, so that's cool. :)

[That JonoGuy]

I've always wanted to see John Paul Leon take a stab at the X-Men.

[La Fea]

I've always wanted to see John Paul Leon take a stab at the X-Men.

But he has!

On New X-Men and I believe some Apocalypse origin project that I really don't care about. But it was gorgeous, guaranteed!

IMMORTAL CHARACTERS SHOULD JUST DIE.

[Mitsaso]

ARTIST: Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri
FAMOUS WORKS: Druuna, Morbius Gravis, Creatura, Mandragora, Druuna X
DREAM TITLE: Astonishing X-Men
WHY: You want heavily detailed artsy art from European artists? Serpieri's the man you want! He's pretty much the second Milo Manara!

He's never been the ongoing artist though. I'd love to see what kind of costume redesigns he'd have.

[diablo7]

i just ordered some sienkiewicz new mutant issues but i don't remember if i ordered those...

here's oscar chichoni's art..he did some stuff for heavy metal, i think he'd be great on a x-book set in the future

http://chichoni.com/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=70&Itemid=136

[david r]

I'd love Steve McNiven to draw an X-Men book. That would be sweet.

As for writers, I would die to have Geoff Johns work his GREEN LANTERN magic on the X-Men. That would be a dream for me.

Why thank you very kindly. :)

[Greg Anderson]

...heh...:o

[Hakael]

I'm not a big fan of Warren's to be honest, even though he's a fellow New Hampshire native. The art is very standard manga, and doesn't really even compete with the likes of Kubo or Kishimoto on that stage.

that said, empowered is at least a fun read, even if its not very deep.

[Jack Flash]

What book is this and what is it about? It looks quite fun.

it was a really fun book. I think it's collected in Digest form now. so pretty cheap, I'd suppose.

I've got plenty of wishes that haven't done the X-books. Most of my favorite artists are "Indy", but I'll have to come up with a good list before posting.

[Jack Flash]

Let's see....

Ryan Kelley from Local
Becky Cloonan from Demo
Steve Rolston from Pounded and Mek and Queen and Country AND The Escapists
Paul Pope from Heavy Liquid
Phillip Bond from The Invisibles, Kill your Boyfriend, and The Deadenders
Warren Pleece from The Invisibles, The Deadenders, and Kinetic

Those are just a start. I'd love a New X-Men Underground Special by Mahfood to match his Gen X version.

[Joe Franklin]

Artist: Bryan Hitch


Hitch used to do Uncanny X-Men art fill-ins in the mid 90's.;) :)

[Joe Franklin]

I want DC's Ivan Reis to draw X-Men Legacy for Marvel.

[Matthew K.]

I love each of your choices La Fea (Alphona, Acuna, and Kerschl...awseome) ...they are great picks for all the titles you paired with them.

Also, I love the Stefano Caselli choice, Hakael.

I suggest these two artist for cover work for x-books:

Phil Noto (Beautiful Killer)-X-Factor

http://i30.tinypic.com/30m6fdx.png

James Jean (Fables)-X--Men: Legacy

Lol yes! His art is so adorable, He needs to be on like every teen book out there!

[pryde15]

I love Noto's art as well lol, I see his work all the time at comicvine, but I never knew who it was!

[Jack Flash]

I can't wait for the Trade of Kerschl's Titans work. And Noto's work is totally dreamy.

I second/third/fourth Alphona's nom as well!

Matt K. and La Fea's nominations sum up my life.

Throw in Hitch somewhere too.
Millar/Hitch can do their insane revamp!

[theardri]

I'd love to see Terry Moore both Write and draw an Xseries, and have it B&W like his self published stuff. He characterizes better than most, and is a good artist. For an Indy he is also always on time!

Ramos has never drawn Deadpool. I'd have seriously felt my loyalty to DP tested if I had to endure that. Although, when I think about it, Ramos' style makes more sense on that comic than most.

[hierro_boshid0]

I dig his style, its all abstract and awesome looking. But for some characters, his art is a little too extreme. I don't really like his Cyclops, but thats ok cause I don't even like Cyclops.

Failure sir, is not an option. Your opinion has been stricken from the record...



That said, off the record... Ramos on 'pool... possibilities, yes... there are. But right now he's on Runaways... I'm still pissed that Joe Kelly is back with Marvel and NOT working on the Deadpool solo.... he best get tossed in for a mini or two, thats just not fair to us Deadpool fans to have Kelly back at Marvel and not working with Wade... tho having him on Spidey is still awesome.

Somebody's convention sketch:
http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii130/Logan-Wolverine/DeadpoolbyHumbertoRamos.jpg

[Madrox84]

There are quite a few artists i would like to see work on X-Titles, a lot of whom have already been mentioned... Like Alex Maleev, Adrian Alphona, Daniel Acuna, David Aja, Steve McNiven, Bryan Hitch, Nic Klein and Gabrielle Del'Otto.

One artist that hasn't been mentioned is Timothy Green III, he did the art for the Annihilation Conquest: Star-Lord mini-series (which was awesome). Here are some examples:-

Star Lord was indeed, awesome. Green II worked well on that series, I'm curious to see what his pencils would look like with some more contrast... he draws a mean Rocket Raccoon though... and thats what counts.

[caney]

I'd love to see a nice run on an X-book by Colleen Doran! I know she's done an issue or two of X-Men related stuff here and there (she recently posted some awesome art she did for a Mutant X annual on her website), but I want to see what she could do on a main book. I'd put her on Ellis' Astonishing in a heartbeat. She brings such wonderful emotion to all her character's faces (and she knows how to draw hot guys too). :)

[Cadeaus]

David Lloyd would be cool on X-factor I think.

[Deep_Sleeper]

I'm not sure about his speed, but I love his style.

Cameron Stewart! He did this awesome Quitely Cyclops. I know it's sort of a clash of styles, but it would have been so great to see Cameron filling in for Quitely during New X-Men under Morrison.

[hierro_boshid0]

-----------------------------

[Matthew K.]

A lot of the folk in the DMaX (& other draw threads) are kickass--at least in profile shots (not sure about sequential storytelling dynamics)--I think a story (perhaps a one-shot or pilot) by a few of those participants would be worthwhile.

I'd pick it up.

[protogarrett]

Young X-Men as drawn by H.R. Giger (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._R._Giger).

Awesome.

[booga]

Nice find!

even cooler fact about that ramos sketch, he did it using only a black pen

[Nadia Bjorlin]

J. Scott Campbell. This is long overdue.

[hierro_boshid0]

[Congo Jack]

But yeah, Ramos would kick ass on DP, his style suits the character.
So, so true. Hey - a new one:

This belongs to Perryn Flynn on CAF.

[booga]

Thats awesome, I really like his style. But I'd lose the sleeves at DP's wrist, lol I don't know why that annoys me when you see those lil sleeve things on characters. But what the fuck do I know? I can't draw lol. But yeah, Ramos would kick ass on DP, his style suits the character.

the fact it contains colour other than black obviously flashed past your spector

[AZPolaris]

Not gonna post samples since many names have already been mentioned.

Uncanny- Should have the "hot" artist. McGuiness, Campbell, Benes, or I would have loved a lengthy run by the great Mike Wieringo :( R.I.P

Astonishing- Should be the "Big Name" artist. Travis Charest, Adam Hughes, J.G.Jones, Alex Ross

Legacy- Keep the rotating artist for flashback, someone good with conversation and face. Mike Deodato, Ivan Reis, Gary Frank, Barry Kitson.

X-Factor- Very Stylistic. Alphona, Noto, Pat Gleason, Acuna.

X-Force- Someone dark, gritty. Doug Mahnke, Dan Brereton, Dave Finch, Aja.


Young- Someone who can draw young people:rolleyes: duh (why doesn't Marvel get that?). Todd Nauk, Kerschel, Francis Manupal, pascual Ferry

I can find samples of any of these if needed. Sorry for any misspellings. That was fun!

I can find samples of any of these if needed. Sorry for any misspellings. That was fun!

I love Francis Manapul's art! Plus he is an insanely nice guy :D

I also like upcoming She-Hulk artist Vincenzo Cucca but his site was hard to navigate and its a studio site so I don't really know which pieces are his.

Anyway, I looked through the different Chesterquest winners blogs and I really fell in love with these two. I'd love to see more from Sara, but I really like her style and I am entranced by Matt's art. Its just amazing. It really comes to life.

Adam Pollina would be rad on Legacy.

For a second I almost thought that was Hi-Fi.

while I don't usually play the role of necromancer, this thread deserves to LIVE.

REBOOT!

Same rules apply:

Pick some artists you'd like to see on the X-Books, but here's the catch... they can't be past X-Artists. This is to see who you'd like brought in as new blood for everyones favorite mutants. If you have a specific book you'd like to see a certain artist on, feel free to name it.

Also, try to post a sample of some sort if its available.

*hiccup*...

[JurassicParkIsAnAwesomeMovie]

Ivan Reis on Astonishing with Whedon writing

[worstblogever]

Adam Pollina would be rad on Legacy.

He would... but wasn't he on X-Force in the 1990s?


For me... Oliver Coipel. Guy's amazing. Should be on Uncanny X-Men, easily.

[sneggz]

Aja for Legacy.

Caselli on Uncanny.

Maleev drawing the hell out of X-Factor

JG Jones on Astonishing

Alphona on a teen book.

sneggz, I think you just won the thread. These are all really good.

JG Jones even understands how to delay books. That qualifies him for Astonishing even more.

[Fatguy]

Has Gary Frank ever done an X-Book?

If not, I choose Gary Frank. Or Mike Mignola. In my wildest dreams.

Maybe Ed McGuinness.

Forgot about that. Must research into a rotating artist. Sana Takeda on rotating duties?

McGuiness did Deadpool... which... sorta counts as an X-book, I guess.

[Alex A Sanchez]

artist: Ryan Ottley (Invincible)


You may borrow Ottley, as long as he doesn't have to leave Invincible.

Artist: Bryan Hitch


I think it's been said here, but Hitch was an X-Factor fill-in during the 90's.

ARTIST: Mike Mignola


Mignola used to do X-covers back in the 90's. He even did an issue of X-Force with Liefeld.

sienkiewicz co created new mutants. if you haven't read the bear issues you've missed out.:confused:

What do you mean "co-create"? Bob McLeod created them with Claremont- it says so in the credits of the original run. Sienkiewicz illustrated the first appearance of Warlock, if that is what you meant.

And the bear issues were awesome :biggrin: .


New Xmen: Ken Lashley

Uncanny Xmen: Art Adams *drools*


Ken Lashley was the regular Excalibur artist for a while.

Art Adams drew the Longshot mini, Uncanny (Annual), New Mutants, and Generation X.

[Alex A Sanchez]

He would... but wasn't he on X-Force in the 1990s?



And he drew the Angel mini.



Does NYX count as an X-book? Because Josh Middleton would be my first choice for the Young book. If not, then I elect Gabe Bridwell (http://www.gabebridwell.com):
http://www.gabebridwell.com/img/gallery/nc/covers/NC18Cvr_Color.jpg

And also, I would love to have Duncan Rouleou back (He did X-Factor in the 90's), as he has improved greatly. But he's off-topic. So strike that opinion. :evilsmile:

[Shameless Fanboy]

For me, it would be Steven Butler (Silver Sable & The Wild Pack, Ultraforce, Sonic The Hedgehod, Archie Comics) for Uncanny X-Men. He's extremely versatile--ranging from traditional '90s Marvel-style superhero to very cartoony. Arrived at Marvel roughly around the same time as Mark Bagley and his work was somewhat comparable then...

The guy/girl who drew the last sample, yes. Everyone else, I'm not sure. The first guy has that terrible generic, lazy anime look that looks sweet on the television screen but not so much in comics. The second guy/girl just did a cover, so he's a maybe (it's hard to get a feel for sequentials with just a pin up). The third would actually be pretty sweet, without the terrible over-use of the Photoshop gradient tool and the empty backgrounds that draw attention to themselves.
Still, Christina Strain came from Udon and she is amazing, so I know they have talent there.

very nice picks... Caselli and Maleev were two of my first picks on the thread, and that they haven't been put on an X-book yet is criminal.

For new picks...

Tony Moore for Cable or Wolverine solo.
Talent Caldwell for youth X-Book.
Mihailio Vukelic for X-Factor

You liked Caldwell on Gen-13 huh? I saw nothing special about him on that book, but I can see him on New Mutants doing well if he's given a chance to get acquainted to the characters.

just to see his version of COLOSSUS

That pick is a bit of a reach, but I stand by it. If he toned down and refined his work a bit I think he could be quite good.

Coipel - Uncanny X-men

Is he still working on Thor?
