This round I'm adding little nods to my favourite stuff that we can't vote for by the artists as it's work outside of Tharg's realm. Well I was shocked to realise I don't really know any Mark Harrison work beyond Tharg's kingdom... I mean I looked it up and there's not much out there I can find - in comics certainly. Weird... So anyway as you decide between two modern masters you be diverting your eyes from that filthy webcomic The Traveller (do look after it seems very good!) and awesome Lazarus Churchyard stuff!
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 the Quarter Finals, but please add anything else you'd like to say as well.

Anything else just ask and I'll make something up.
D'Israeli this round but Mark Harrison's work on The Out was awesome
Ooh....going to go with Mark Harrison here, for so much wonderful stuff on Durham Red, The Ten-Seconder etc. Ask me tomorrow and I'll give a different answer.
Harrison for me
D'Israeli gets my vote - I love his endlessly evolving style and experimentation and it's always, always a joy to see his work on absolutely anything.
Harrison.
The Out is wonderful, but I've found some of Harrison's work lacks clarity (if less so these days) and his tendency towards Barbie women irks. D'Israeli is one of 2000 AD's most creative artists in terms of visual style. I'm not keen on his Dredd, but almost everything else he's done has been a delight.
So: D'Israeli
D'Israeli.

One of the very few who can challenge Carlos for me.
And he's a hell of a nice guy, too.
Mark Harrison.
D'Israeli
So tough! If I'm honest neither is an artist whose work I have fallen totally in love with, but I admire both for pushing various boundaries of what comics can look like.
Reckon I'll go with Mark Harrison, for his visions of the far FAR future in deep space are just so evocative, and I'll never tire of his efforts to put background noise and especially music/chanting into this work, it always adds atmosphere.
Mind you, that Low Life: Creation, though.
D'Israeli
Harrison.
SBT
Mark Harrison for Durham Red, The Out and for - a story that I would love to see being brought back - Glimmer Rats.
Both are fantastic but D'Israeli.
Harrison.
Because Glimmer Rats.
Mark Harrison. Glimmer Rats is one of my favorites, largely due to the incredible art.
I've loved Harrison since The Travellers, and far more now, but there is only one D'emon D'raughtsman.
D'Israeli (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkXAmx33pj0) for me, but I rate Harrison's work very highly as well.
Harrison, if only for The Out
D'Israeli for me
D'Israeli here.
Fackin ell. What a choice.
D'israeli by a whisker.
Love D'Israeli's technique. Really stands out.
Mark Harrison's work on The Out was really great though, i have to say.
Mark
This one is coming to the end of the line so if you have a vote you've not cast yet get it in today and I'll count up first thing in the morning and let you know who'll progress.
VOTING CLOSED
So far this round has been very one sided, to date, if at least in terms of votes, if not the individual decisions folks are making. There haven't been many votes as close as this one however. Both artists had triumphant strips last year and both have very distinct, bold styles. And both pulled in the votes in spades.
As it is
D'Israeli
Just drew more and so is into the Quarter Finals.
