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 monthly 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
I do not lie if I say this is the hardest selection of the whole article. To find a magnificent gallery with few page views and impressive works – it is almost impossible. When you found one and bookmark it to come back to it when I start to write the article, almost every time that gallery has passed over 100 and so you have to hope you manage to find quite new and impressive gallery just before the article. Sometimes it can happen, on the other time, it is almost impossible. This time it was hard but I think that in the end, I have every right to feature ~RuslanKadiev gallery here as he has unique works, abstract and personal style and those works he has – they are impressive. But take a look by yourself.




Even thought ~insaneoutsider has just joined us I think his one work speaks volumes. Whilst looking at his page I noticed many people had commented on his name and it is curious. His first work, which coincidently illustrates his name is very clever and simple. His texture use is excellent.




Under 1000

~LaRebulera has quite an extensive gallery for someone who has only spent a little time here, although most of it is photographs in her recent works she has branched out into photomanipulation. With impressive results. I am always astounded by people who start photomanipulating, they really seem to get the hang of it. I really hope she keeps going and expanding her gallery.



~logtr has maybe on first glance a simple gallery but sometimes the beauty does not have to be on millions of details and very complex composition. Simple but balanced and well organized works can be as catching and also hard to make as others. He has not hold himself back on using colors and with that creating unforgettable atmosphere and feelings, having motion on every piece. You could almost feel the wind and sense the atmosphere on those works.




Under 5000:

Sometimes there is a gallery I have found and just does not stop hunting me. Even if I try to figure out why and what I adore there so much, I am not able to put it on words. ~Anemyah gallery is one of those. First you could say that she has nothing too impressive but she does have – the colorscheme in her works, the way how you can see development and the good level she is gaining in her last works. All of that just is prove that soon she will be making pieces what will stun us all.



~jarsson impressive surreal and dark on the same time gallery what seems to go it’s own way not caring much about the trends round here, has so impressive and original, personal looking works. The unique colorshcemes he uses, and the way his works have their own stories. A gallery you would not like to miss




I really fell in love with *braiiins gallery and especially with her most recent works. The way she blends stock and addresses the texture/smooth balance is very unique and individual. She gets the balance just right, which is extremely hard to do, even for the most competent of manipulators.




I was first drawn to *aphostol’s gallery after noticing his avatar (and recently watching V for Vendetta.) But when I looked at his work, it really impressed me. His works are a range of very soft lighting pieces, to very harsh. They show the diversity of his technique beautifully.




Under 10 000:

*MoOnshine90 is one of those deviants who have created very fairytale like gallery full of dreams, soft colors and beautiful emotions. But she has not only stopped with her own fairytale but gone deeper into the theme and find her own niche and started to create unique and recognizable works.



~Potential-Chosen-One’s gallery reminded me a bit of my own, her expressive use of colours shows her to be a master storyteller and can manipulate colours to convey the mood she is trying to create. What makes her different (in her recent works) is her use of a fractal texture, which used to great effect frames her work perfectly.



~emmysdaddy has something very refreshing here on DA. First you will notice the vivid colors but when you take a deeper look into the themes of his works, you will be impressed how stunning ideas he has and the way he has brought them into digital canvas. That kind of childish dreams, high hopes brought to us to remind that there is never too late to start dreaming and who knows, maybe when we grow up, we will become tigers like little kitty dreams in one of his works.

*ll-Tek-ll has very diverse, controversial and also little surreal gallery. But the diversity and variety of themes is not the only one what you can see there – the techniques he is using – high level skills combined with hard work on little details and the balance in composition and colors – with his unique ideas and brilliant technique – his works have something for everyone.



I was, and still am astounded by *psychobitchua’s gallery. Her work is truly magnificent an I defy you not to have her on your watchlist. Her work are so majestic and well executed you marvel at her technique and imagination. Truly special.
