TOP Artists on DeviantART - Directory

`Lilyas:iconLilyas: reports, December 7, 2007


W E L C O M E

... to the TOP Artists on DeviantART Project!


This is a new community project held on *TOP-ArtistsDirectory :icontop-artistsdirectory:. It is meant as a compact directory for you find the finest art here in this community. There will be updates on a regular base with new artists and new lists. The first edition is not completed yet but there are five categories released already. Have a look at the top lists for:


Photography | Traditional Art | Digital Paintings | Photomanipulations | Fractals


Check the project account for other categories.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


How to be added to the list?

You can nominate other artists or yourself to be added to the list. Send your suggestions to my notes and I will review the galleries of the respective artists.


What are the Criteria to be added?
  • High skills
  • Professional execution
  • Top render quality
  • Professional settings
  • Fancy, inventive and imaginative concepts, themes and characters
  • Original and unique styles and techniques


What does not qualify for TOP Artist?
  • Copied characters invented by someone else
  • Paintings based on traced photos
  • Colorings of other peoples works
  • Plain popularity



You think you are qualified...

But you are are not listed? That can have the following reasons:
  • You have only a few pieces in your gallery.
  • You are not very long a member of DeviantART.
  • I don't know your gallery.
  • I am just in a different personal opinion.


You can suggest yourself to be added to the list at any time. Send your complaints and questions to my notes and I will reply to you with my honest opinion.


Disclaimer:

This list doesn't claim to be complete or correct. I tried to be impartial as far as this is possible and I also reviewed suggestions of other deviants but after all the list reflects my personal opinion.





You can use this stamp in your journal to support this project. Thank you!



Best regrads,

Well first of all, my splendidly beloved Lily on dA, I must personally congratulate you deeply ( :clap: :blackrose: :heart: !! ) that you are actually undertaking such an awesome way to give the new artists the grand treatment they deserve based simply on how damn amazingly excellent they are on just the quality of their own artworks and how they are to be done the right way, and not on how popular they are (page views, amount of watchers, stuff like that!). And second, I *absolutely* just love you on the way that you are truly stepping it up big-time to be such an intense blessing to this whole deviantART community in such a major way!!! :hug: :thumbsup: !!

MASTERFULLY WELL DONE FOR YOU ( :w00t!: :winner: :w00t!: ), my awesome splendid darling, I most seriously gotta say on behalf of both you and deviantART right now!!! :salute: :devart: :star: !!

As much as I love this idea, and am happy to see a list of the best, I can't support this. I don't know, something about a senior member making an exclusive group based on popularity and calling its featured artists "the best of the best" makes me quite unimpressed. But nonetheless, good idea, and I will +watch.

If I fav and run, it's because I like it and don't have any constructive critique, get over it.
`Tepara:iconTepara: Dec 7, 2007, 10:23:11 PM
You know what.. I have to agree with you here..
I don't like the idea of people been named "the best" I mean who has the right to same someone is better them someone else.
I think its a little hmm I dunno.. But I don't like it..
Its like not being a community, because the club is saying "These people are the best don't give a fuck about anyone else they arnt good enough so don't matter"

I dunno I'm strange like that lol I think everyone should be treated the same. It doesn't matter if someone is "the best" artist or not. everyone deserves the same attention crit, comments and understanding.
And now Ill shutup lmao.

But unlike you, I wont be adding them to watch :aww:

I'm personally not sure what to think of this project. Oh yes lets whore out the people who already are permanently on the front page even more then they already are! Of course they're there for a reason, but yeah there are a load of magnificent artists that aren't known. If they aren't, I'm sure it won't be long until they are any way. I, personally, get pissed off at seeing work from the same people under todays popular, and the same most popular deviants on the today page. It'd be nice to give someone else a chance. Its kinda hard to explain my pov here, I'm on the fence.

Plain popularity
Only the people who are either involved with dA or create alot of good work are popular anyway. If they're popular, its for a reason.

the TOP Artists on DeviantART

It is meant as a compact directory for you find the finest art here in this community.

Wrong.

This list doesn't claim to be complete or correct. ... after all the list reflects my personal opinion.

So it's not the top artists, just people that you (and a select few others) personally think are good.

Let's be honest and call it what it really is - just another place for artists you like to be featured. :unimpressed:



Also, way to support elitism. :thumbsup:

(and that's not a good thing)

I spend a lot of time to find artists who are make art on a high level. Let me quote one of the notes for your that I received from a listed artist:

"I'm really very surprised to find myself in any Top Artist category, as I consider myself to be very mediocre at just about everything I do these days ...

This is a real boost for me, and I have been thinking of late that I really ought to do some more ..."


If you have seen the lists you will know that there are not only popular deviants. I try to select after the quality standards I have given in the article, not after who is popular and who not. Which doesn't mean that someone who is popular can't qualify for the list.
