Segata Sanshiro said:It's not that Western artists suck, it's that by and large the best Western artists are not working in games. Japan is fortunate in that their top comic and animation artists have been deeply involved in the game industry, whereas ours by and large have not been.
I wish I could be saying Jim Lee or Jack Kirby or Don Bluth or Joe Quesada. I guess I can say Don Bluth, so I'll add him to my previous choices of a Japanese artist and a French artist.
Yeah, this is absolutely true and I should have mentioned it in my previous post. There are definitely a lot of amateur, freelance and pro artists in the States that create stunning, stylish and appealing art... they just don't work in videogames.
