Because the Anime Community is possibly one of the biggest and fastest growing communities here on deviantArt, a lot of fantastic anime artists are overlooked, when they should be getting the one thing they deserve: EXPOSURE.

The various pieces I have selected are not only beautiful, but also unique and innovative as well: you could not possibly dismiss Anime as an art form.

Years ago, photography was not considered an "art". If you ask anyone now, who would deny that photography is an art form? I hope that the anime community will be able to garner the same respect that other artists receive from the general public one day because the fact is: Anime Is Art.

Congratulations to all the artists that have been selected for this feature: you guys deserve it!!!

To anyone else who passes by: take some time to appreciate these beautiful pieces!
Feel free to recommend you own or someone else’s works for future features!

Cheers, Lizard
