I have decided to feature some artists whose work in my opinion does not get the attention it deserves. I am also featuring some up and coming artists that need your support to further their skills. So without further ado, here's the work of my selection of deviants.

is an excellent photographer who is also taking her first steps in digital manipulating. Her landscape pictures are breath taking and she shows promise and talent. Here are two of my favorite works of hers



This artist has an ethereal and fairytale feel to his work. His style is very individual and I could easily see him illustrating books and novels. He has so little traffic it's ridiculous for the work he does. These are two of my favorite works of his.



is a really friendly, very talented artist with a sharp mind. His work is varied and has a style of it's own. Here are two of my favorite deviations of his



is an original cool dude. His personality is as interesting as his work. He's very inventive in his work. Take a look at my picks out of his gallery and see for yourself.



is a really sweet girl and it shows in her art that has a hazy, dreamlike feel to it that I enjoy very much.



is a girl i've known on DA for years. She's a really cool girl with a very personalised anime style. I've always loved colouring in her characters although she does a wonderful job shading with her pencils anyway.



happens to be my boyfriend. But this is not why I am featuring his work. It's because I have seen how much effort he puts in his work and the pathetic pageview count he gets. He is great at digital colouring and knows Photoshop like the back of his hand. However, recently he's shown great aptitude for 3D as well.



is an artist improving rapidly in her work. She has a style that will go places, full of colour and joy. She desperately needs some encouragement so please give her some love so she can grow as an artist.



is an imaginative writer who also illustrates his characters. He is a fast improving artist who seems to not believe in himself. We've all been there, we all know how it is to compare your work to artists who seem so much better. So go give him some love so he understands that if he perseveres he will reach the level he aspires.



is an artist with so few pageviews it makes you wonder. He seems to prefer pencils and digital colouring and he definately does it well. Check out some of his awesome work

Updated! New contest entries!

Hey peeps. There's one thing I wanted to stress about the rules to my contest, in case there is some confusion about it.

You have to draw two or more OCs in ONE scene, somehow interracting with each other. The two characters have to be visible in the frame. This is why I set a rather late deadline. If in doubt, please ask me, I will answer all your questions and guide you through the rules of the contest.

Thanks again to all of you entering. I can't wait to see what you've come up with.

*group hug*
