Art makes us passionate for sure! @Vroom be sure to add your favorites in the Wiki section and we’ll count those up too!

Jim Lee set my standard for gorgeous art and set pieces back in Hush. The only people who have ever came close have been Fabok and Janin.
Huge amount of respect goes out to talented artists such as Daniel and Joelle Jones who not only draw beautifully, but write entertaining and engaging stories as well.
