Yeah, I love Awatake's stuff too, but man, he hates me because I once posted a picture of his to 4chan. It was a "post your favorite manga artist" thread, somehow he found it (even though Japanese IPs were banned back then) and read me the riot act. Banned my ISP for a long while, but it has since expired.
Of course, back then he had a big sign up on his website that said "My art is freeware", I pointed it out to him a few times that that didn't mean what he thought it did, but, yeah, oh well.
I still buy every single one of his releases on DLSite. I wish I knew enough Japanese or could draw well enough to send him gift art -- one of my biggest regrets in life was making a fool of myself on his BBS, and I wish I could make it up to him someday.
He is by far one of the better ENF artists. Murasaki Syu, Tower, The Seiji, and Suehirogari are the other big names. DuKE was pretty good in a weird sorta way, but he never did magazines et all, just his website which hasn't been updated in forever.
If I didn't know it would make him hate me even more, I'd start up a translation project for his "4 directions" series. He did 4 mangas, each with a nude in public girl on them, that revolved around some weird alien convincing girls to stop wearing clothes. A librarian, a shopkeeper, etc. The 4th one was a 2 parter that brought all the other girls together or something.
I think someday he's going to become a really successful manga-ka. The next Suehirogari, really.
