>>53100597>There are others that have also been there since the beginning but they aren't mentioned nearly enough as Komiya.Don't cut my words short to make your point. I said it's the combination of his length within the tcg AND his striking, unique, and grotesque/odd style of drawing. There is no one in the TCG that draws in such a way. That's why.
Tanaka has a very unique and obvious style, so does kusube, so does fukuda, so does baba, so does morii. I can pick their cards out easily. But none of those long standing artists have such an immediately striking style as komiya.
If you put a card of all the above artists in a row together and showed them to a person for the first time. I guarantee you they'd see Komiya's and say something like "man, did a kid draw this? / this one looks so weird. / was this artist on acid? / this art is wild!"
Baba and Tanaka have a childlike style too, but c'mon, you're being silly if you think they give a similar first impression to a komiya card.
