Yuri artist's art seem so... mediocre... vast majority are kinda shit.

I kinda agree on the mediocre (in general), I disagree that it's "kinda shit". I think 95% of the times, the art is functional: it just gets the job done without getting in the way. It still saddens me that the best artists in yuri aren't even close to the best artist outside of it.
I'd like to see Samura doing the art for a good yuri author '-'

I'd have to go with Nakatani Nio, specifically the series Bloom Into You. Don't think many artists even touch her for craftsmanship.

http://dynasty-scans.com/authors/inuzuka_bouru (I don't remember how to do the thing) has really yummy art.

http://dynasty-scans.com/authors/sugano_manami has a really nice moe kinda style

http://dynasty-scans.com/authors/canno I think usually hits the spot

The few things we have from China (Their Story, Beloved., Magan & Danai) are usually very nicely drawn, albeit in a comic-y full colour style.

Edited cos dumb.

When not simply comparing yuri art with each other, the ones hailed as best are the functional ones. Hardly anything amazing around here, tbh.

I do admit, I fall for art style and not just what yuri lacks: quality,
and thankfully theres some around like:

Imamura Youko (your avatar) with http://dynasty-scans.com/series/the_real_her

Natsuneko's hhttp://dynasty-scans.com/authors/natsuneko

Cloud Palette http://dynasty-scans.com/authors/cloud_palette

Mekimeki Oukoku has signs of quality under the bubbly style, seen well drawn poses and angles that most don't draw at all. http://dynasty-scans.com/authors/mekimeki_oukoku

I'm afraid we have vastly different concepts of functional then, so I'll have to respectfully disagree.

A bit surprised no one has mentioned Beloved. yet to be honest

I don't think it's so surprising, considering it's pretty recent on DR. OP kinda did tho, in a general way. Either way, I agree it has gorgeous art.

Mezashi is super now but it's really good and polished

Ah, that's the name of it! I originally wanted to mention just that but couldn't find it, thought it was called Love.(.) Thanks for pointing it out.
