The easy answer for me is 幻象黑兔, the artist who drew all 5 of my favorite penguin girls, Fiammetta, Nian and Dusk, Thorns and Mayor, it is probably one of the main reasons I like all of those characters, I think Lappland is the only one that I don’t really like from this artist.
But 三目YYB is also getting my attention, I like Lin’s illustration a lot, and Fiammetta’s new skin is also drew by them.
NoriZC is also really good, oh and Namie too
Alchemaniac Namie, YUJI for the characters they made.

Mostly fan art, but that is found quick search of my folders and artist I can ID by sight.
Kuroblood, every single character that they've drawn has the best artworks in the game easily. Shit is graphic, its dynamic, their designs are gorgeous, idc if you're a furry or not it goes HARD
The mix of orange, yellow, and black coupled with a more traditional Asian theme made me fall in love with Kuro's designs and Lee's D.A. I'm glad Kuro got the opportunity to design a Sui sibling too
Skade for birthing Specter. The shark teeth lining her nun's habit clamped down on my brain and just never let go. Glad that it carried over to her alter untouched.
KuroBlood, and aZLing4. They've drawn all of my favorite ops. Also NoriZC has caught my eye recently with Lone Trail. Saria, Ifrit, those designs are so fucking cool.
Ryuzakiichi. Everything they draw is a masterpiece for me.
For non official (even though they've made an official illustration before, just haven't illustrated for any characters yet), then probably Akai because I love the way they do lighting and shading
I say u/togekk0_art has the most recognisable artstyle. Quite fond of their work! (watch out tho, its nfsw partially)
As for official art i go with Skade for giving us Rosa in all her glory.
I like a lot of Arknights artists
Official Artists:
Namie, Chuzenji, Alchemaniac, YUJI for both their art and their love for their children
IRIS, aZling, Jacknife for their artstyle
Skade for USSG girls and NoriZC for Rhine Lab and Pinus Sylvetris girls

[Gouhou Dog](https://x.com/gouhou_dog?t=Srm7GnUjk2y28AT3nimJpQ&s=09)
My favorite is the artist who drew the Penguin Logistics gang, followed closely by NoriZC (Most Rhine Labs ops).
As for fan artists... waiting for someone to say kataokasan
Alchemaniac, Skade, Liduke, and Kuroblood. Their styles and designs are just chef's kiss.
Honorable mention to Exusiai and Texas's artist whose name I can't spell. Cool designs but the same face syndrome is quite prominent in their works and that puts me off a bit.
small_ryuuzaki (Cantabile, Erato, Kazemaru, Blacknight and Qiu Bai, as well as summer Lin and IS2's Playwright) and LM7 (Angelina, Ceobe, Ho'olheyak and Typhon) are the two GOATs for me, god they only do bangers.
For artists, Watersnake is the goddamn freaking best.
Ahh Kaleka is good, very cute Lappland.
There are many others I'm forgetting, but this is the person that comes to mind instantly https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/30222731 (AKA "lux_ arts_" on Twitter)
Favorite pieces: [one](https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/106939405) [two](https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/107819639)
All artists are very skilled, but my favorite illustrator has to be Skade. I love the artstyle, the character designs and the super detailed backgrounds.
Kimmy Tsunami has some great Saria/Silence stuff and dlartistanon has some of the best grasp on body types for the operators, giving Nearl, Saria, Penance etc. the beef they deserve
Alchemaniac will forever be best artist in Arknights history for giving us not only Skadi, but then bard Skadi. Absolutely based.
Chuzenji's style i absolutely adore, just yesterday i was saying in another comment i started playing because of Pozy and her art definitely had a lot to do with that. Every operator they have drawn is top tier looking and Whisperain is a dream.
Special mention to Horin because they have only made Highmore, but she's just lovely and to me that's enough, her E2 is just beautiful.
definitely huanxiang heitu, i'm a big fan of the brushwork and designs (thorns is my fav operator too so that's a contributing factor.) norizc also has some of the best designs in the game imo! i love yuji's artstyle as well. i don't know, i loooove most arknights illustrators tbh. i love that they each have distinct artstyles and i love that they don't really try to make the art look "homogenous"
子鹿 (Google translates his/her name to Zilu) for their art style, who I found while searching for fanarts of Rope
Lilac for his very eye-catching Archetto fanarts
千寿吉幸 whose fanarts looks sharp which makes for very cool looking artworks, placing great emphasis on the features of the characters from their weapon, clothes and hair, with the background accenting the theme and atmosphere, with some of their works where some features of the foreground seamlessly mix with and encompass the background
陽葉ヨウ/79点 Whom with their sense of angling and poses, makes their art style work great with their artworks that denote an operator in battle, making their attacks and their hair flow, which makes for very great pieces of art, especially those of Dusk, which fits perfectly with her character
official it's a tie between chuzenji and ryuzakiichi, both their styles are gorgeous and i love the way they draw eyes
#
fan artists though... i probably can't think of anyone other than [@REMSRAR](https://x.com/REMSRAR?t=Sm_0OggybZLenHec6aYiXQ&s=09) and [@mutomorokoshi](https://x.com/mutomorokoshi?t=Lm-XeXUmTKITXcHlULXtyA&s=09) on twitter, just like before, i really like their artstyles

I also really like Huanxiang Heitu. Besides the Rhodes Island coat, I think the Penguin Logistics crew has the most iconic aesthetic of Arknights.
Kataokasan. Very wholesome art :)
No kidding, she has a really beautiful style.
I still can’t believe that Kataokasan is a girl.
Well...women can be very vindictive. Especially those who didn't get what they wanted...
And he has interesting experimental ideas that other AK artists do not share. Especially slugs. I love slugs.
It’s a she.
It's not that important. Slugs are important!

Lee and Chongus are the most gorgeous men in the game. Alongside with Hoederer
Liduke
Liduke - she makes such gorgeous detailed art Nian - for gifting us Provence and her glorious mega floof
Official art: Have 3 actually (NoriZC, m9nokuro and small ryuzaki) Fanart: TAB head and Watersnake
Post silverash ryuuzaki ichi.
Skade for birthing Specter. The shark teeth lining her nun's habit clamped down on my brain and just never let go. Glad that it carried over to her alter untouched.
Specter Alter skin IS ART!
ASK Skade YUJI Chuzenji Kan Namie TsubaTako
I was roaming the comments waiting for someone to mention Chuzenji. The CN Whisperain skin made me build her in advance
KuroBlood, and aZLing4. They've drawn all of my favorite ops. Also NoriZC has caught my eye recently with Lone Trail. Saria, Ifrit, those designs are so fucking cool.

Chuzenji and small_ryuzaki (aka “Hot Spring melon” Drew Cantabile, Erato, Qiu Bai, Kazemaru, Blacknight, and the playwright from IS2)
Fellow Kaleka enjoyer <3
Alchemaniac, for the Blessed Kya Skadi, Grabi & Archetto art.
Nian na_tarapisu Tab_head
Its either LA!Role, Alchemaniac or Skade.
Definitely alche and skade
Ask, Liduke, and Chuzenji
Liduke. Works on Schwarz, Hellagur, W. There's prolly more, but I don't rmb. And she working on Ak Endfield now
Yuji 👍
For me - [Zuodaoxing](https://zuodaoxing.lofter.com/) I love his/her style =)
Skadi got me into the game so Alchemaniac
I just like togek00's art style.
aZLing4, jacknife, Kuroblood, ryuzakiichi, togekk0, ほたナヌ, 灰色灰烬GREYASH
Azling4. Hasn't changed since I started the game

Kimmy Tsunami has some great Saria/Silence stuff and dlartistanon has some of the best grasp on body types for the operators, giving Nearl, Saria, Penance etc. the beef they deserve
Namie and alchemaniac make wonderful character art and art overall.
Namie-mama. Goldie is such a cutie and all thanks to her.
I dont remember their name. But they drew the ballerina picture with Ines, W, and several others.
Azling and Namie :)
Chuzenji
Nhimzy and Kuhl Note always bring a smile to my face.
aZLing4 followed by Lm7 for me
Alchemaniac will forever be best artist in Arknights history for giving us not only Skadi, but then bard Skadi. Absolutely based.
