Genzoman. I need flashy and whimsical.

RPG artists have names??

That said, I this Melissa Uran (I think) has done some great Exalted art. She's also the only RPG artist whose name I know.

Very much depends on the game. Probably Stjepan Sejic. Or Giger if I go full crazy

Daniel R. Horne.
He's done so much of the art that I remember as being iconic D&D. I'd love to have him do some more high quality stuff.

Mike Mignola would be great for an RPG with a gritty, gorey tone. There's some other artists that remind me of his style like Ramon Perez's work on RIFTS

There's also The Dark Spire dungeon crawler, though I don't know who the artist is.

Would be good for one of those retro-clone games

Etrian Odyssey's Yuji Himukai also does the solid black shadows. He pays a lot of attention to nice metal armor details, he rarely does anything non cutesy though.

0. Tsutomu Nihei for any and all dungeon crawls.
1. Toren Atkinson.
2. Dennis Detwiler
3. Kevin Siembieda.
4. Larry Elmore
5. Echo Chernik

Notes on #1: He has indeed worked as an artist in the game industry. He's also the frontman of a band I really like, Darkest of the Hillside Thickets.

Notes on #3: not for anything to do with his actual artistic ability (though he is a fine artist, actually), just because it would be so goddamn amusing for KS to be in a subordinate role to anyone. Ever.

No notes on anyone else on the list, I just think they're good artists and/or cool people.
