Alright, I really suggest that you read the following so that you understand everything later on. Capeesh?

...Alright, so being New Year's Eve & everything, I essentially wanted to end the year with a bang. A bit of a big bang. So while I was on vacation, a thought popped into my head...An idea...What if this time, for a special edition of my Mini-DDs, I was to feature the 50 best Deviations of 2006??

...Thought that may grab your attention.

Well, first I guess I should mention that I'm not fully behind this. Seeing as how I thought I'd be passed out after several combinations of champagne & Pepsi by this point, I typed this all up earlier today, & I also let my little buddy ~Fefcaine handle the festivities this time around, including letting him use my account to post everything. I put my whole trust in him that he'll pull this off perfectly. Also, I like to eat stinky garbage. (Fefcaine: Tee-hee-hee! XD)

Anyhow, a lot of work went into making this list...For one, I decided to browse all 365 days worth of premium artwork, making sure I got the best...& in order to keep my sanity intact while choosing what to feature, I decided to limit the selections to only those with 75 favorites or more. Say that it's a bit shallow if you will, but only the community's best could rack up that much acclaim (well, except for that lousy Kirby/Link pic that landed on the front page one day). Besides, can you reallistically expect me to go over practically every piece of art on this site this year?

Well, it took me a few days, but I narrowed the whole shebang down to around two dozen works of art, & from there, I went with what I thought were the 50 best. Well, actually, I'm letting Fefcaine pick the best from the nominees as well...It's all good, & he's got a f***ing wicked taste in art as well, so here's hoping he does a good job as well!

Naturally, there was a lot of several amazing stuff that I just couldn't fit in, but I still stand by my selections, as they all kept me looking at them over & over throughout the year, going "Holy s***, that's amazing" when I looked at them. The whole list even involves a couple of scraps & more than a few DDs (sort of ironically) to boot.

Got a problem with all of this? Well then, I'd like to see you try & make your own list like this!

...Actually, I really would like to see anyone try & make a list like this. Hell, I'd actually pay to see stuff like that (though not much, as I'm on a budget)! Any takers? ^_^

I guess I should actually get moving along here. But first off, I'd like to acknowledge a few honorable mentions. You see, a few pieces were put up here in 2006, but were originally posted before 2006 & re-posted later for various reasons. And after mulling it over for a bit, I decided that it wasn't 100% ethical to include them in the actual list. But since they still kicked ass so much, I'd still like to give them each the actual award & show them off here. So the honorable mentions are:



...Oh yeah, I guess I mentioned an award. Well, here it is! My traditional token of great artwork for special occasions, the Platinum Fefcaine Award!



(Fefcaine: And this time I stuffed it with milk chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate, AND threw in several of those crumbly cookie things!!! ^_^)

Wow, am I droning on. So let's just cut straight to the big stuff: The list. In case you're wondering, all the features are sorted chronologically, helping to fit in with the year-long "2006" theme. Plus, can you imagine me trying to rank them all? That'd be too much work...Can you say "brain explosion"?

...Well, that's not to say I don't have #1 in mind. But I don't think I'll be revealing what my #1 of the whole year is...For now. Maybe with the right persuasion, perhaps...?

Alright, enough of that crap. Fefcaine's making his selections, & he's even got his little commentary started, which you can view here, & I'm starting to feel a buzz coming on, so before I get too tipsy, let's get it on: THE FIFTY BEST DEVIATIONS OF 2006!!!
