Artist grades

With regards to the artists themselves, I give them the following grades and my critiques and comments on them. Not surprisingly, my favoritism of the GNs themselves on the basis of art alone tends to follow these grades

Artist	Grade	Critique and Comments
Jason Badower	A	+ Spot on likenesses + Deep, Moody, coloring + Crisp and solid + Otherworldly/cinematic quality to art + High impact action
Robert Atkins	A	+ Smooth and clean with rich texture + Flowing lines convey energy and action well + Good likenesses + Great work in Bounty Hunter + Soft, yet solid
Michael Gaydos	B+	+ Gritty, thick, rough, earthy texture + Good likenesses + Conveys shadow and darkness well + Conveys action moderately well
The Kotzebue bros.	B	+ Good likenesses
Staz Johnson	B	+ Smooth, flowing lines + Energetic art
Tom Grummett	B-/C+	+ Gritty lines + Flowing lines convey energy and action well + Good work on Revolutionary War - Too lumpy, especially with regards to the cheek bones & chins - Poor likenesses due to lumpiness - Clothes drawn fitting too tight
Ryan Odagawa	C+	+ Smooth and clean
Adam Archer	C	none
Marcus To	C	none
Peter Steigerwald	C-	- Too rough for the thinness of the lines
Micah Gunnell	D+	+ Smooth and clean + Conveys energy somewhat well - Poor likenesses at times, making characters hard to recognize - Lack of detail in wide shots - Poor anatomical rendering
Alitha Martinez	D	• Art is smooth and clean sometimes, but rough at other times - Flat faces in profile shots at times - Penny drawn too ugly in Faces, Part 1
Steven Lejeune	F	- Poor anatomical rendering - Poor likenesses
Eric Nguyen	F	- Dirty, sketchy, thin lines
