no subject
1. From the outside at least you appear to be approaching with a feeling of fan worship, which is difficult to build an equal friendship on
2. It's very hard to become friends with somebody when you know who they are but they don't know who you are
Figure out your honest feelings about this person. Why is this person "amazing"? Is it because their work is really top tier, or because the personality they put forward is the kind of personality you want in a friend? Is your interest in them as a person, genuinely, or in their persona or an idea of them, or in a feeling of being starstruck?
Assuming you are referring to this person's personality and you want to actually be friends with the real person: Try reaching out. A good, easy way is through reviews and such; be in-depth, and separate yourself from the simple "I liked it" crowd - don't come off as just a fan of theirs, be a fellow fan of the work who wants to appreciate it with them. Do they participate at all in discussions? This is also a good way to reach out. Do they have a tumblr? Submit an ask.
You can also have a more student-teacher/mentor-protege/etc relationship if your admiration is primarily of the person's work. This is a way to have friendship but have it focused on a subject besides complimentary personalities, and inequalities in the relationship aren't toxic.
