Wow, that's recognition !
Alan Davis
Walt Simonson
Erik Larsen
Francesco
it depends a lot on which characters, My main would look great drawn by Davis or Larsen, Francesco could probably handle any of them really well, but my Wargod series of villains would have to be drawn by Simonson.

Ok I thought of a new one. It's this new guy working for DC called Alex Ross I think he has potential.

Meanwhile...On The Internet...
Now if only we had a way of contacting and commissioning these guys.
Marc Silvestri takes commissions, but only for established characters (Batman, X-Men, etc), not for characters of your own design. He's also really expensive, beginning at $2K USD.
I'm sure if the others (who still live) take commissions, their prices would be similar.

Virtue Server: Kheprera, Malefic Elf, Lady Omen, Night Rune, La Muerte Roja, Scarab Lafayette, Serena Ravensong, Kyrse, and Arachnavoodoo among others.
Ed Benes used to take commissions, but he's too busy now. I would love to have Jim Lee or Ed Benes draw Brit, Warfox and Invincibelle.
Stuart Immonen is too busy to do commissioned work now.
But !
...maybe someone here can emulate the style of some of these guys... ?
Actually... my dream illustration would be done by one of the folks that does sci-fi book covers.

Don't forget to add Luis Royo to your list there, Prof.

Upon examination, some images in that link may be considered NSFW. 
...Just sayin'.
Luis Royo is really good, I just wish he put clothes on some of his women and that some of them didn't look like they were posing for a trashy nudie mag. He has a really great style.

That's my thing with Royo, his work is excellent, but most is a bit TOO barbaric for me.
Not that I don't like it... it just doesn't 'fit' my characters all that well.
Except for La Diablesse or Baroness Samedi. A Royo take on Samedi would be the ultimate.

I know I already made my choices but I would love to give honorable mention to Ross Andru. When I started collecting Spiderman he was the artist. So many wonderful memories of his work on that series. I'dd like to add him to my list.

I remember his work on old, old Metal Men. In a way, he makes me think of a thin, gangly, cheeky British guy - with an equal parts charm and annoyance. After Romita (Sr.) he was really good for Spiderman.
