To know someone here or there with whom you can feel there is understanding in spite of distances or thoughts expressed. That can make life a garden.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe




All of us have friends, some of them are really special and they are also great artists in here. 2 in 1 - a great friend and a great artist. We've got lots of them here. But I want to present you people who are special to me. Since 2002 (my begining with deviantART) I've met lots of people but currently I've got some to introduce you. Of course few of them you know, few of them maybe not. I present you people who are the dearest, who changed my virtual life and even my real life! People I love. People that can be an example how to be that "2 in 1" with pride and self-confidence (not with egoism), with a helping hand for others (not with ignorance), with care and love (not with hate). We truly need that kind of artists here...

This is the biggest tribute to people I've met here on deviantART, people that I'll always love as friends and artists.

It's still the vol. 1 of this feature.



*Lilyas

Lily is well known as one of the best CSS journal-layouts artists here. She puts a lot of effort in each template. She also creates beautiful designs and fractal art. Well, except her tallent she is a kind and lovely person. For me she became the one who is truly "for-people" artists. She supports lots of other people here, makes interesting contests for them and writes feature-articles as a tribute to tallented and mostly unknown artists. She has got the time for everyone and helps with a smile. She is also one of the greatest friends I've ever had and I'm sure I can always count on her. Her optimism and joy of life makes me happy. Please, see her wonderful works:





*Carcharadon

Also known as the Evil Genius Jay is the one of his kind. A loud and strong man with the head full of fiery and demonic ideas can scorch you with his awesome hell art. Both he and his lovely wife are great and kind friends. Jay supports mostly dark art and his selections are always good. His great sense of humour can always make people smile. There are few pieces of the Burning Hell, feel free to explore:





~Panicalex

One of my friends who are with me since almost the begining of my adventure in discovering deviantART. I remember I was lured by her avatar and I wasn't wrong. Her works always inspire me and make me proud of her. Her unbelievable kindness for all deviants and lovely comments make her one of the most wonderful artists here. She can make my day special with only 1 note. It's my humble tribute to her:





~Loreena24

A person whom I have a pride to call my sister. A sister in art, a sister in taste, a sister in many things. I don't have to introduce her here because she's really famous recently. Lady Loreena, a pure tallent and a great friend. I don't know how can I repay her for her friendship but I hope this tribute article will make her smile. She's the mistress of digital painting and her arts charm lots of people in the entire world. Her enchanting "spicy" dark style with a stroke of fairytale lured me a long time ago and holds me forever. She's got many tallents, painting is only one of them, so it would be lovely if you browsed her gallery in search of other things as well A tribute from the bottom of my heart for a great person and a wonderful friendship. Hope it will last forever:





*Dragor666Shadex

For me this person is an example that impossible things truly happen in my life. Since a long long time Jorundr is the dearest person here for me and the best friend because... he is my fiance And of course we've met each other here - on deviantART. It's the most personal feature here but still how could I skip it? He was always a kind and loving man. I know I can count on him all the time. He is not a typical gentleman, he is a pure noble man, the Jarl. He is polite and helpful for lots of people here and he always has time for everyone. And also he is a really tallented photographer and painter (his traditional paintings I've seen in person are totally inspiring). He is the example of an artist who creates art with heart and soul and for whom the art is the passion of life. It's a tribute for everything he has done to me, from a pure love and gratitude to the best of men, to a real Viking and my soulmate. I present you with pride and pleassure his realm:





=angelgaby

Peter is well known especially because of his Daily Deviation and since the time he received it we started to call ourselves Mr and Mrs DD Yeah, jokes. They always keeps us together in an optimistic mood. Life is strange and full of obstacles but Peter is a really strong man and he always can cope with everything and keeps his head up high with a smile. His great sense of humour brings light in the darkest parts of mind. He is a person that you wait impatiently for each comment from him and when you receive it you smile and laugh out loud. His sense of humour and a pinch of irony you may find in his splendid extraordinary arts made with effort and a big bunch of tallent. There's no one as good at it as he is. He is just special:





=Moniquette

Monica became one of the dearest people for me very fast. Her politeness and a golden heart for other artists suprised me a lot. She is on board when you need a helping hand and she makes you happy all the time. She started a project of interviews with particular artists that received a general recognition here. She's a lovely optimistic person with a great sense of humour I like a lot! Her lovely art creations put you into a dreamy mood like you might travel to a realm of imagination. A great friend and a great artist in one lovely person. Check this out, you won't be disappointed.
