If the "big 4" of heavy metal are Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Pantera, who are the big four of character designers?
Mikimoto, Kenichi Sonoda, YAS and Nobuteru Yuki?

>big 4
>Pantera
You fucked up.
The big four of thrash metal includes Slayer, Pantera not being thrash (or good). A big four of heavy metal in general would not include Anthrax or Megadeth, they're just not THAT big.
DO YOU EVEN METAL?

Does he even have a design aesthetic other than *insert big nose*? Almost all of his designs were based heavily on others' preexisting art.
Replace him with Sadamoto and we're good.

Lodoss War is all him and it's one of the best looking things out there.
Not even any big noses.

I still can't get over the fact that her face and Shinji's are the same, anyone got that picture ?

The Big 4 refers to the Big 4 of Thrash metal. Metallica Slayer Anthrax and Megadeth. And most actual Metal fanatics agree Exodus should replace Anthrax. Theres also the German big 3: Kreator, Sodom, & Destruction
Pantera is for stupid rednecks. Its radio Rock music
So I guess, for your pleb ass, the equivalents would be Anno and whoever did the the designs for Big O, Gurren Lagann, and whatever else Toonami kids like

It's about popularity, not quality. Anthrax made it big, Exodus didn't. It's the 'big' four, not the most awesome four.
80s original design would be Yas, Mikimoto and Kogawa, a big four would be arbitrary unless someone else has an idea.
>Yas refused so let's give Kitazume a chance
>The original Southern Cross guy (can't remember the name) fell through so let's turn to Kogawa, even though fans begrudge a Super Dimensional series without Mikimoto
Then they mostly retire and you have to create a new big numeral because there are too many designers, but you can't just have Yas and Mikimoto and some other two guys.
I personally like Akemi Takada outside of them, though she did a lot of adapted designs.

>No understanding of metal sub-genres and instead listing an incorrect Big Four of Thrash Metal.
It's not that important, because the thread's not about metal but it does make you look a bit silly.
>>14848875
I meant thrash really,and like >>14848706 said, I got Slayer and Pantera mixed up.
Anyway, this is now a heavy metal thread. Pic related.

For /m/ characters?
Yas,Kogawa,Sonoda,Mikimoto
>>14848796

I would say Exodus, Testament, Overkill, or Nuclear Assault.
>>14847864
>pantera
Wrong, it's Slayer you retard.
And it's the big 4 of Thrash Metal, not heavy metal.
Pantera played glam metal and then groove metal.
