Favourite CLASSIC art droid Round 1 - Bryan Talbot or Sean Phillips

[Colin YNWA]

Another pair of Art Droids who've gone on to exceptional levels of acclaim since having their restraining bolts removed by Tharg, Bryan Talbot has won the Costa Prize and Sean Phillips numerous Eisners. Yet both have left a considerable legacy before that and have series that really standout for Tharg. Talbot being the Droid brave enough to take over from Kev O'Neill when he left Nemesis and with Book IV some would dare to suggest surpassed him. Sean Phillips have us Devlin Waugh in the near perfect Swimming with Blood.

Alas we still have to pick our favourite and to do so just pop the name of the art droid you'd most like to go through to Round 2, but please add anything else you'd like to say as well.

Rules for what they are worth

Anything else just ask and I'll make something up.

Bryan Talbot. His figures always have a wonderful solidity about them, despite their frequently weird and arcane nature.

[abelardsnazz]

Bryan Talbot, for incredible work on Nemesis.

[Bolt-01]

Based soley on work for TMO -- Bryan Talbot.

[Link Prime]

Bryan Talbot.

Advance warning - I don't know if I will ever be able to vote against him.

[Magnetica]

Clear choice for me. Even if the only thing he had ever drawn were those scenes on the beach in the far future: Bryan Talbot.

Love Sean's work but cant' do anything but vote for Bryan Talbot here.  The Gothic Empire alone would seal the deal (imagine having to step into O'Neill's shoes for that gig - and he made it his own) but add in solid work on Dredd and one of my favourite shorts (Wages of Sin) and it's just impossible not to vote for him.

[AlexF]

Agree - it's impossible not to vote for Talbot in thie contest. Seems mighty unfair given how good Phillips is - but on the other hand, much of his 2000AD work was him learning on the job.

[Tomwe]

Bryan Talbot. If this were judged on current work it would be the other way as I'm on a Bru/Phillips kick right now.

[SmallBlueThing(Reborn)]

Yes, Bryam Talbot.

If I were taking into consideration Phillip's  Hellblazer work and his current projects, the result may well be different. But in going entirely on Thargwork here, and, well, Nemesis.
