After the announcement that ~The-Undiscovered project has been closed, *Iardacil, who was a staff member there, felt that there is now big gap for featuring up and coming future artists. So, to try to fill that gap a little, she asked her dear and talented friend =Behana to help her and the result they produced this news article.

The aim of this article is to give exposure for promising, talented and outstanding photomanipulators, who have had little or no exposure so far. These deviants are chosen for their skill, works, originality and variety.

Maybe these fortnightly features combined with our words of encouragement will help some new photomanipulators catch some of the limelight, but also to give audience’s here some idea that in the world of photomanipulations there are no borders and the possibilities are endless. The only limit is your imagination.

There are four categories, all based on how many pageviews the deviant has. Under 100, Under 1 000, Under 10 000, Under 20 000.

Under 100:

~Valiexe has started a very unique and promising gallery with her personal and outstanding work. She has combined her dark style, with unusual element use, adding a thought-provoking sentence with every piece. The result is something refreshing, enchanting and emotional.





I really love ~mskiwi’s gallery and believe that in time she’ll develop into a really great and popular artist. She has a really good eye for composition and an aptness for choosing beautiful tones of colour. She is also developing technically and looking at her work you can see that in the few works she has produced she has progressed in the art of merging stock and making it look right. I really think she’ll go far and learn a lot….definitely one to watch.





Under 1 000:

~Silvia15's works first caught my eye for the brilliant colour scheme that stands out for the usual monochrome we see around here a lot. On closer inspection, the patiently worked details sally from the colours, add a new and deeper meaning for the work. Add that with symbolic, maybe even surreal themes, create something unforgettable.






As an artist I know that the hardest thing you can achieve is a definite style. Something that makes you different from other artist, and in my opinion even some of the successful artists need time to develop their own style. So when I saw ~veronica-p’s gallery I was to put it slightly a little envious. She has an instantly recognisable style that combined with her poetic view of the world makes her work wonderful to view.






Under 10 000:

~Sidkwa's photomanips leave me just speechless as the magical world his works bring us, is just indescribable - the bright but still so calm and balanced colours at the same time, fantastic backgrounds, combined with mystical atmosphere and setting. The depth of his works, the clearness and hardly worked details - magnificent. Something you would not want to miss:





~Superiorgamer really amazes me with his so intense and impressive landscapes - a thing we do not often see around here. He has very clear vision of what he wants to create and the outcome is always astonishing - in world, he will take you with his art, has possibilities beyond our imagination.





Dramatic sceneries and horses - those two things would be the first things you would notice in ~BlackJaq's gallery. Combined with clear and careful technique, the gallery stands out even more. She has had the courage to do something she loves, even if it is different from others. And she has no reason to regret as her works are just marvellous.





*pixellabor's surreal, variably, unique and just so different gallery leaves no room for doubt that after viewing his work, you won't forgot them so easily. The impressive, outside the box thinking for composition and theme, strong and bold choice for colours - this gallery was the hardest for me to choose only four pieces to feature here - the whole gallery is a little miracle itself.







Under 20 000:

For a while I have been wanting to feature ~restmlin. I’ve always felt that their gallery has been very different form any other gallery. There is a beautiful array of styles, al executed wonderfully using magnificent technical skill and imaginative creativity. Some of their pieces are truly mind-blowing in their simplistic beauty.





I must confess that I’ve never seen a gallery quite like ~Shavanna. She has a very unique and intriguing view of the world that is brought to life through her work. Her vibrant colour and simplistic style makes her work stand out from the crowd. A really unique deviant whose gallery you will never tire of.






~Dhuaine has been on my list since *Iardacil and I started this article but I decided that now was the time to feature her. Looking through her gallery you are transported to a world that is truly magical. The extensive use of light in her work is truly incredible and I must say she’s has mastered the art of lighting to perfection.





To be honest I’m not a great fan of texturing. I’d love to add more to my work and occasionally I do push myself to do a piece centered about them, I can not claim however to get as good a result as ~lacerated-soul. Her imaginative use of texture and vibrant colours is very distinctive and really rich and beautiful. Her challenging compositions make her an artist to be admired.
