Neon Girl Star wrote: Tracey's art was a bit bad at first, it looked like it was his first time drawing in the Sonic the Hedgehog style. I particularly disliked the way he used to drew Rouge (her eyes almost kept appearing fully open, not that I have a problem with that I just find it unusual and her head was drawn wierdly), Sally (Tracey made her eyebrows too thick and noticeable) and Tails (he often made faces that looked too well detailed (look at one of the panels from Sonic the Hedgehog issue 179 as an example, it's the one where it shows Sonic and Tails faces up close, Tails is so wierd looking in it)). However Tracey's art style has changed and Rouge, Sally and Tails look a lot more better. I really like how Tracey drew issue 235, I can't take my eyes off Silver.

Jon Gray's art is AWFUL! It looks more like a cruddy anime art style (kinda looks Dragon Ball Z like), and the characters tend to make creepypasta looking faces. And now Jon has been drawing off-panels for some issues. I just can't stand looking at his art!

I used to like the way Steven Butler drew although now his art resembles Tracey's art (I'm not saying Steven is coping Tracy though).

Jamel Pepper's art also resembles Tracey's but I don't have a problem with that.

Lamar Wells is a good artist.

Ben Bate is great but I don't the design he gave Jullie-Su, he also drew an artwork of Sally and her face was a bit strange

Evan Stanley's art is quite alright. Any poor qualities Tracey's art might've had in the beginning have been rectified now. I also LOVE how he wrote the "Pirate Plunder Panic" SU arc (Bean the Dynamite FTW!).

One thing I should note about Ben Bates is that he drew STH #230's cover---which happens to be the very thing that first attracted my interest in these comics. As for Julie-Su...well, I think he did a good job; since the Ken Penders lawsuit case forced Archie to take Julie-Su out, however, Ben never got a chance to improve on his drawing of her, now did he?

Jamal Peppers's art does INDEED resemble Tracey's, & to a very great extent; I've noticed that myself. Steven Butler's art, however, does not; I say again, his artwork SUCKS (no offense).

Evan Stanley's art isn't just "quite alright", it's fantastic! The same goes for Lamar Wells's art, but he's mainly a cover artist; he really needs to do more issue stories, IMHO.

So, am I good at admiring art or what???
