I'm getting into some anime art. I never really liked the art style of a lot of it but I've found a couple artist that do really beautiful works. What's a good source for finding artist that are similar to artist you like already?
One thing that bothers me about most of anime art is that it's just filled with drawings of female characters with balloons on their chest.
I don't even mind artist doing nudity or "sexy" artwork. My favorite artist I found primarily does that. But it's so hard to find good art even if it's not AI. I feel like most of it is just drawn by 30 year old virgins that have never seen a women's body before.
Edit: Soranamae is my favorite artist I've found. Most is NSFW stuff. I wish they had more variety or did different characters more because their art is beautiful. The saddest thing I found was some AI model trained specifically to mimic their art style. Made me upset.
Pixiv is a site that was made for japanese artists, though it's technically open to anyone.
An unconventional way is to look for artists from yearly releases. I have 2022 of this one:

And you can even find regional artists from similar artbooks

Edit: I forgot to mention but you don't have to purchase the physical book, you can find the features artists like so:

Pixiv is what I've been using. I guess I should research Japanese tags better. I really wish there was a "no balloons" or just a "natural looking" tag to filter it. I will definitely look at the artists other artists interact or follow though. That's a good idea.
Another note is that if you use any social media with following:followers, popular artists usually have their mutual artist circle as followed, so you can bounce around artists just by looking at who they follow.
