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 5000 (new), Under 10 000, Under 20 000.

Under 100

~arahna-ua gallery is really conceptual, needs time and will to understand the complex messages she has weaved into her works. Strong color choices, powerful use of elements, original themes - all of it just impresses me. I have not seen such personal, conceptualbrave gallery for long time and I definitely did not expect it from a deviant who has less than 10 pageviews.





I am so surprised that ~axelg has less than 40 pageviews after being on DA for just under 9 months. This is astonishing. His work is really magical and I can see a great journey ahead of him on DA. I’m sure if he keeps going with manips he’ll be a great success in the future.





Under 1000

When doing this article I really look for either original ideas or a definitive style. I believe ~startapanic has some really original ideas in her gallery. Her works all have a very dream-like quality, sometimes paired with a dark edge. All this makes her work fresh and interesting....a definite must on your watchlist.





~the-divided-self has a unique, vivid gallery that seems like it's being shown through some kind special prism as everything seems to be just right in her works, but with closer inspection, the way she has built her themes and concepts - there is something different, like reflection through a round mirror. Really promising and different, a beautiful gallery.

I really love the intensity of ~dhn-al3ood’s gallery. Her rich, vibrant colour choices combine to create wonderful differences in tone and an awe-inspiring depth, although this is partly because of the immense amount of detail she manages to cram into her work. This creates an incredibly realistic background in every piece. The lighting is superb….and the models…..what can I say…..stunning.





~SuzyTheButcher' gallery shows well the artist's very personal style, unique conceptual ideas and brilliant technique. All this together leaves us with no doubt that she has already achieved so much, but with genius ideas like hers - we will see many more superb works from her in the future. I usually have a clear idea which of the artist's works to feature here, but looking through her gallery really left me speechless and I had such a hard time picking only four:





I somehow feel that vivid galleries with strong colors are the ones that catch me most often and maybe that is the reason I could not take my eyes off ~Litchi0' gallery - the balance of intense colors, measured contrasts, the feeling in each of her works- the sun is setting, creating a unique atmosphere with multiple rainbow color shades.





Under 10 000:

The first moment I saw *TheSilentCry's gallery and that he was just starting it - I know - he will catch wide attention - the powerful way he does his unique dark art, the dreamy and perfect worlds he creates - all this just cannot leave an audience cold. He has a special eye for color choices, quite monochrome but instead of being boring it makes his work even more unique. But the biggest draw in his pieces is how hard he works on the details. They just leaves me stunned:





I don’t think I’ve ever seen a gallery like ~Ade-Lusha’s. It’s really unique partly because of her imaginative use of stock but also because of her creative composition and texture use. Her works are different within themselves, since she really tries to experiment with her works. A very different gallery that is certainly worth a look.





I love ~Aerelin’s gallery more than words can say, but for the purpose of this article I have to try. She always gives her all in every piece and this definitely comes across in the results. He work is so meticulously planned, perfected and created that they can’t be imperfect. Take a look for yourself.





Under 20 000:

=OneTaintedAngel has definitely made his name here on DA already but this is not a good enough reason not to feature him as he fits into the brackets we have settled for this article. His works are always unique, setting trends for others. By using his personal approach to dark art and magnificent skills to create photorealistic pieces but still making something surreal, something eye-catching. A good example that deviants can get a wide audience with an original style and unique works.





If you look at =ellymarinova’s gallery you would see her beautiful photographs but if you take a closer look at her gallery you’ll notice some rather special manipulations. This multi-talented artist has a very definitive style that makes her work stand out due to it’s beautiful saturated colours and textures. Beautiful!
