Professional comic book artists who were influenced by John Byrne (and have elements of his style either in early works of their own, or throughout their career):
Alan Davis (Yes, his early stuff have traces of JB's style*, and he admits that JB was an influence to his art)
Mike Parobek (Yep, though his work work very cartoony, the Byrne influence was present).
Paul Pelletier
Dale Keown (Another, like Alan Davis, whose early work reflected the influence more strongly. Much like the way JB's earliest work had that Neal Adams vibe).
Vic Bridges
Anthony Castrillo
The original Image boys (Yes, they were all influenced by JB. Todd McFarlane regularly posts early amateur work of his online that often contains his fannish swipes of JB's work. Rob Liefeld continued to swipe Byrne well into his success as an artist. Jim Lee, Erik Larsen, and Marc Silvestri all have cited JB as an influence.
-- And there are more.
And as with any generation of artists, those influenced and that become successful influence another generation themselves so that later generations are technically absorbing some of that earlier artists' influence indirectly through the later artists' work.
*I find it interesting that in past months, whenever I have shared early artwork by JB, more than one person has remarked how it looks almost like early Alan Davis. So, aside from the fact that Davis never has denied the influence, others apparently see it on their own.
