About the artist
Kim Jung Gi was probably the most famous illustrator in the world, his talent was beyond all human comprehension and was held in the highest of esteem by fans and fellow artists alike. His skills were absolutely incredible. His ability to render extremely complicated scenes near-perfectly from memory, without the aid of references, stretched the boundaries of what many artists believed was possible. He sadly passed away in October 2022.
