James Kei, does concept design on games and movies, some of the best examples are Left 4 Dead 2 The scarifice Downloadable content concept and the recent movie Sucker Punch.

James Kei's Concept work.

He seems to use an airbrush like tool for the fine colour, tints and shading he uses on his images.
his design style uses drawings which he changes to digital images and then uses an airbrush.

My review of his work is that the pure style and creation of the games and movies poster is, well fit and diverse as the airbrush tool adds a really cool effect and helps promotion, i enjoyed the drawings and airbrush design, the scenes are really well designed and purely amazing.

Kat Von D, Tattoo artist, tattoo illustrater.
Kat Von D is a tattoo artist who covers black and white tattoos, she is an inspiration as i have admired the beauty and meaning in and behind the tattoos, she covers meaningful and sometimes healing pieces of body art. Her signs are used in realism and she covers alot of potraits of the deceased to keep them in memories and show love and respect for the person.

Kat Von D's website

This website has her tattoos, designs, and art work. Many of her pieces are based on real life, as she does a lot of portrait illustration.

My review of Kat Von D's work is that i really think that it's awesome, i enjoy the realism in her work, the beauty and context behind her work really speaks out and is a really cool illustration, as it shows a real life image on a flesh canvas.

 Ami James, Tattoo artists and Tattoo illustrater.
Ami focuses on traditional tatoo artwork, though he does do others, in tattooing Ami, Kat and all other tattooos illustrate a design on paper before actually inking onto skin, this is to see if the client likes the design, and to see if the size will fit on the limb it is being placed on especially if its a small muscular canvas. This design and style method, helps alot in body art. Ami, like Kat does alot of meaningful tattoos, the beauty behind the art and design is astonishing. The skill, precision and attention to detail is amazing in illustartive areas.

Ami James Website

My review of Ami James' work is that it's purely amazing, i always have loved the japanese art style, the way he recreates the illstration into a totally different design is pure genius, i have always admired Ami's work as it helps alot of people and i have full respect for that and the artist talent behind the work.
                                                              
                                                                           Yoshiyuki Tomino

 Yoshiyuki Tomino, Manga artist and illustrater.
Yoshiyuki's drawing style can be seen alot in manga most famously in Gundam Wing, his design style is amazing with colour, futuristic illustration designs and the drawn skill, and attention to detail prowess, its amazing style and design is what made it famous. The detail on the characters, 'mobile suits' is awesome with the attention to detail on the nooks and crannies of its armor, weaponary and colours.

Yoshiyuki Tomino's, Gundam wing website

i was unable to find Tominos website, so i found his most famous creation's wiki Gundam Wing.

Yoshiyuki's body of work, i find is inspiring, as it was the first manga/anime i watched and that really got me into the genre as the drawn style, shading and colours are amazing i have always enjoyed this illustration style as it looks beautiful.
