Who is your Favorite Palladium Artist?

Unread post by Maddog »

I haven't seen this question posted before which surprizes me:

Which of the many Palladium artists is your favorite?

Mine is Ramon Perez, his work on Bill Coffin's books are genius.

I hope I don't get band from the boards for this, but my favorite Palladium artist use to be Kevin Long.

Now it would have to be Scott Johnson.

I still do like a lot of Kevin Siembieda's older artwork, his more recent stuff hasn't been as good as his older black & whites.



As a side note: I think the Palladium Fantasy Main Book cover art is the worst cover off all time.

Without a doubt, Kent Burles. If you're including older artists, then Larry MacDougall is at the same tier.

Though he only did one pic for them, I gotta go with Larry Elmore.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the cover for Further Adventures in the Northern Wilderness, with the Wolfen raising undead, done by Larry Elmore? Or was that Clyde Caldwell? Anyway, I gotta go with the Ninja here. There's no talent anywhere in the world to match Elmore. He is the undisputed master of the fantasy art world.

That having been said, I have high hopes for Apollo Okamura as well. That guys gonna go far!

The cover of Further Adventures in the the Northern Wilderness was done by Thomas Miller. Adventures in the Northern Wilderness had a cover by the late Keith Parkinson. Elmore did the cover of Land of the Damned 2: Chaos Lands.

Thanks for the correction on that. Parkinson rules as well. Elmore is still my fav, though!

I love Freddie's (sp?) art! I'm a huge fan of the Robin comic book though so maybe I'm a little biased.

Perez is my favorite in general, followed by Johnson.

I'm really starting to dig Wilson though.

And since I've been reading PFRPG lately, Burles is starting to grow on me. I don't like him for tech at all, but for fantasy, I'm finally starting to appreciate his work...Particularily his landscapes.

I would have to say that Zelezniks cover for Pantheons was one of the best covers I have seen in a while.
