I was head over heels from tumblr user lumomoth's drawings of every pikmin 4 enemy their style is just wonderful. I personally do clay art myself so I have a massive soft spot for the work done by www.youtube.com/@Kerobyxclay . I may have to think for a bit but those artists works easily make up a good amount of the other top spots. Hope you enjoy and have a nice day.
