Okay, so before we get to the real meat & potatoes & etc. here (you know, the DD-worthy features & such), it's time for a feature that's a little more special...I had originally planned to do this as part of my Deviant's Appreciation Day feature, but I sort of ran out of time. Basically, it involves an amazing artist that I wish I had featured here.

Said artist would be ~NinjaWeasel, a truly amazing anthro artist with a cool style & an equally cool body of work. He always manages to come up with several innovative & fun characters, & takes the time to create stunning pics for his friends as well.

Sadly, annoying criticism & insults from some annoying deviant here drove him from DA nearly a year ago...But no need to fear, as he took his amazing gallery over to Fur Affinity, which you can view here. And since then, he's still kept up the flow of amazing artwork with pics like these (Links only, they won't allow non-DA thumbnails in News articles):

For Alairan
Ziggurat the Fennec
Character reference - Snaggletooth
Big Bad Voodoo Mamma
Frigid Poultry

...Some simple yet damn fine artwork from a very talented artist...& a sort of "fallen comrade" if you will. Consider this a lesson: Treat those around you here at DA with respect...Lest we lose amazing talent like this.

So here's to you, NinjaWeasel...We do indeed miss you here, but don't stop with the amazing gallery you have there right now. Consider yourself bestowed with an honorary Golden Fefcaine Award for all your DD-worthy work. Cheers!

P.S. Um, will someone who's a member at FA please give this article's link to NW? It's just that I'm not a member myself, & I don't like having to join whole sites just to talk to a few other people. I've already joined some fighting game forum to send a message to an old firend, & I joined MySpace in an attempt to create an on-air protest of the VMAs getting rid of the Breakthorugh Video award, & that's enough there. So major thanks if you can pass the link along.

Alright, so with the little special finished here, what say we move on to the main event? Bring on the Mini-DDs!

Okay, so if you don't know by now, the featured artists here each receive the Golden Fefcaine Award:



...My little prestigious token of appreciation for anyone who created some amazing, DD-worthy artwork. Plus it has a delicious milk chocolate center! Do an amazing job, & why not, I'll throw in some peanut butter as well...

Alright now, on with the show! Here's this week's Mini-DDs...


~KhaoticStorM says that he spent over 100 cumulative hours working on Born 2 Rule...& the effort put into it certainly shows! Wild, vivid, creative, fun, stylish, glossy, well-detailed, mesmerizing, nice use of perspective, cool little character design...Actually, I could probably come up with about a dozen more words or phrases that describe how sweet this is, but only two words really do it justice: "Jaw-droppingly awesome".



Maybe it's the fact that I have "D.A.N.C.E." constantly stuck in my head these days, but MY COMPUTER BAND by ~fee1 is still one tantalizing piece of work. I mean, I can practically feel the music just coming out of this glorious, colorful, & well-designed mixture of several funky elements. So as the description suggests, go & have some fun looking at this baby...Trust me, you won't regret it!



lupy the usagi warrior by ~VanZero. Well, not much to say here...Except that you'd be foolish to pass this one up. With a cool style, some fun little cartoon character designs, some sweet coloring, & some nice details (including a simple yet eye-pleasing texture that makes it even more attractive), this is one beauty that definitely deserves all the attention it gets.



*cova is an artist whose designs have never failed to impress me...& PSYCHEDELIC AMBUSH is no exception. All it takes is a simple color scheme, a nice little concept, some nice little funky character designs (love those expressions), & a trippy feel to it all to produce a winner like this. I may not know much about Apes and Androids (the band this tee design was meant for), but I'll say this: They have some great taste in art.



Simply put, +. Two Faces of a Spycho .+ by ~Yuki-Koopa is a nice little twist on everyone's favorite fun, cuddly, psychotic schizo bear. With a fun, unique style (love the anthro twist to it all), a nice amount of detail (love the mix of blood & sparkles), a good concept & some great coloring (love those too, why not), this is something that definite belongs in your faves...Lest you face the wrath of Flippy (well, half of him)...



Well, there was a lot to work with here, & _Jambot is just one of the many innovative, fun, & overall sweet pieces of work in ~skulldozer's amazingly wicked gallery...But it's still amazing nonetheless. With a sweet concept behind it all, a cool style, some creative character designs, & a nice, twisted fantasy feel to it all, this is one beauty that nicely shows off skulldozer's talents. Now who wants jam?



*ChibiKeba does indeed have a very sweet gallery full of several fun cartoons, but Sour Bob just seemed to stand out the most for me. Maybe it's the fact that it nicely profiles a creative & fun character...Maybe it's the cool green color scheme that looks damn fine...Maybe it's the style, which seems to perfectly give off a mischievous feel to it all...Or maybe it's all of the above, which adds up to one (ironically) sweet drawing. Whatever the case, bravo!



=pronouncedyou seems to have this unique ability to put a cartoonish little smiley face on anything & make it look incredibly cute & cool in the process...Just like with Alacrity. Simple yet fun with some nice & cool little character designs, sweet details, & dark yet cute colors sprinkled throughout it all, you would honestly have to be some sort of soulless jerk to not give thise one a look. So are you a jerk or not? Huh?



Ghost Follicle by ~Davey-Impact is a stunning little design that sucker punches you with an amazing use of neon colors, a nice style, a psychedelic feel to it all, & even a little bit of sultriness...There's nothing much else to say except that (once again) this is a another sweet Threadless design that definitely deserves to be on a t-shirt.


...& that's all for this week! If you have any comments, suggestions, etc., they'd be greatly appreciated! I hope you've all liked what I've featured this week, & I'll be back next week with nine more DD-worthy works of art! Sayanora until then! ^_^
