Hello there deviantART and all deviants!

My name is Dan, a.k.a. *Hadarniel, and one day I had a question


Whatever happens to DD Suggestions that don't get featured?


And that question soon turned into a whole new desire to feature the hidden talents among deviantART. Because we put effort into a good DD suggestion, and because we believe the artist deserves the honor, since they put even more effort into their deviation.
Just because the suggestion we send does not get featured for some reason, it doesn't mean we should just forget about it.

If you're not following me, I suggest you check these FAQs
FAQ #61: What is a Daily Deviation?
FAQ #18: Who selects the Daily Deviation and how is it chosen?


Why 'Don't Decline'?

Well, just because a suggestion for a DD you made doesn't get featured as one doesn't mean that you should give up on it
Feature it with me, and let's help it and the artist get more recognition!


So that is the idea behind DD is for Don't Decline!, to bring to you what some of us consider great deviations in need of recognition


You can make a difference! Don't stop trying!
To this day I am the suggester of 23 Daily Deviations!
Take the opportunity to share a deviation you love with the entire community, and give the artist the recognition they are entitled to

The Suggester says: "I don't know too much about vexel art, but I saw this in the newest section and had to nominate it; it's just gorgeous", and I totally agree. This wonderful deviation makes excellent use of color and detail to bring forth fantastic imagery.

Waechterin der Zeit is mystical and alluring. Normally, the pink color stands for cute or girly, but this is hardly the case here. Its elegant and delicate look is simply too good to pass up. Excellent composition and interesting choice - and use - of elements make this deviation by ~Miyanko-chan amazing.

A Mission in Peace is a fractal which's beauty resides in the graceful harmony between curves, spirals, and color. An intrincate design with many details to be apprecitated, it is an image that conveys tons of things and nothing simultaneously. A wonderful work of *MzKitty45601.

This piece is spectacular!!! The perspective is stunning as well as clever. Skyline by ~Roboto-kun is a breathtaking piece of work.

====================================================================

Radiant, and with a great use of contrast and composition, Jewel by =BlackSatechi lives up to its name. Just as gemstones allure those who view them, this photo will draw you in and entrance you with its beauty. As the suggester says, "I believe it is such a beautiful photo"

====================================================================

Tatra III. by ~kgeri. Great composition, surreal perspective, and a breath-taking view. What else do you need in a photograph? It's as if many of Earth's levels had approached each other to smile for the camera.
(Suggested by ~Nami-chan13)

I love this conceptual work of this brilliant artist. This piece is creative, deep, extraordinary and so original. Have a look at her gallery and you'll be amazed!

Daddy's Little Girl is a heart-warming anthro image of excellent quality. Not only is the humanization of the characters physical, but their feelings as well - their expressions are so authentic! Clearly one of *Chibi-marrow's best.
(Suggested by *Hadarniel)

Anthro > Digital Media > Paintings

====================================================================

This fractal shouts perfection in satin. Although the primary color is white, it is not overdone and has the perfect contrast. The red centers bring your focus to this wonderful piece. The use of space is excellent and contours flow nicely.
(Suggested by `DWALKER1047)

====================================================================

Valkyrie by *Iribel hardly appears as a photomanipulation at first sight. This astoundingly detailed deviation seems to be a painting of legend. The aftermath of the battle could be considered gruesome, but the peaceful nature, and the beauty of this image, turn this image into a beautiful sight. It's one of those that has a wonderful story behind it.
(Suggested by *rhunel)

====================================================================

Wild and vibrant, The Accident is a neon-like fractal that is simply gorgeous. It's shiny, full of motion, and overall upbeat; makes one want to get up and dance. And it also has a wonderful sense of depth too. ~Astourna has performed greatly on this fractal!
(Suggested by *Hadarniel)

====================================================================

The Suggester Says: "The colours are amazing; lots of pinks but not too many of the same shade to make it hard to look at. The character pose is well drawn, and her hair is beautifully detailed. The transparncey effects on her dress are a nice touch as well, and the skin is very realisticly coloured". The Bridge to the Stars by =whateverwinnie ladies and gentlemen.
(Suggested by *Lyricanna)

Manga/Anime > Digital Media > Paintings

====================================================================

Colors all over the place in perfect harmony make Phantasmagoria a beatiful deviation. It seems as if the protagonist's memories were coming to life, a great effect by ~ephemeratics. All these strange but creative characters have a life and charm of their own, and the touches of scenery and decoration make a lovely complement to the collection.
(Suggested by ~Nami-chan13)

====================================================================

When we think of arid regions, we normally associate them with lifeless areas full of dirt, and overall gloomy. That is not the case of Sierra Wave at Alabama Hills. Quite the contrary, this image is vibrant, with a charming range of lively earthen tones, complemented by a powerful deep blue sky. =shubat is very fortunate to have had the honor of being in that place.
(Suggested by *Hadarniel)

====================================================================

Brothers in Arms is a creative photomanipulation that exudes strength and determination. This image by *Azenor makes use of excellent stocks, combined in a seemingly simple arrangement, resulting in an astounding image! The viewer will certainly be able to feel the power flowing.
(Suggested by *Hadarniel)

Digital Art > Photomanipulation > Emotional

====================================================================

An adorable moment takes place in Stalking the Elusive Quetzal by =darkkitten8. Depth and perspective are alluring and accurate, and the greenery of it all is quite charming as well. But what stands out the most, is the two contrasting characters, with their story to tell and their role to play.
(Suggested by *rhunel)

Digital Art > Paintings & Airbrushing > Illustrations > Storybook

====================================================================

Curiosity is a perfect depiction of a feeling that we've all been through at a young stage of our lives. With color and creativity, ~azurecorsair portrays the innocence of children in a beatuiful way that I bet we all agree is accurate.
(Suggested by ~Nami-chan13)

====================================================================

Feel the love and passion hidden within Beloved. This astoundingly detailed fractal heart is clearly the product of a powerful love. Its smooth and glimmering surface is complemented gracefully by the ornamental gold patterns, making this an artistic jewel. =Yasny-chan has created a perfect gift!
(Suggested by *Hadarniel)

Digital Art > Fractal Art

====================================================================

Unusually appealing, this photograph will put the viewer to think. The perspective in The Mama Aiuto Gang by =Bobdollar is the first element to call the attention, but it's the odd combination of elements that puts the mind to work, trying to figure out the concept this artist is after. Certainly alluring.
(Suggested by ~Nami-chan13)

====================================================================

With great use of color and painterly effects, Suicidal Butterfly is an uncommon and gorgeous manga piece. ~bloodsoakeddove does an especially cool work in the use of textures, as well as the choice and arrangement of characters. As the suggester says, "It struck me as a beautiful piece that isn't quite your average anime, and the colours are really beautiful."
(Suggested by *Lyricanna)

Manga/Anime > Traditional Media > Drawings

====================================================================

I like the depth in this piece and its subtle tantalizing hues. It definitely fits its name, and there is a lot of interest to this particular piece. It is a wonderful Fractal Explorer fractal. Gradient used creates an illusion type effect, and is perfect!

Take a trip back in time and meet the grandfather of one of our favorite characters in antique r2d2 10! The detail placed into this sculpture is amazing, it undoubtedly resembles today's R2, yet with a nice touch of the good old days. ~amoebabloke has done a creative and awesome piece that the collectors would die for.

====================================================================

Fabrica de Fuego is a stunningly deep and intrincate watercolor painting. With all its details orderly placed in a complex design, and with a color gamut resemblant of old metals, it certainly lives up to its name. This image by *BLDRDSH has a lively charm, complemented by a mysterious air that it's bound to capture one's imagination.
(Suggested by *Hadarniel)

Had you ever seen a rodent go insane? If you hadn't, then you must not miss psychotic hamster by ~Kasia88. This hilarious drawing is creative and detailed, and certainly lives up to its name. I doubt you'll see something like it ever again. Priceless!
(Suggested by *Hadarniel)

Digital Art > Drawings > Macabre & Horror

====================================================================

Her character designs are amazing, and her use of colour, though traditional, is very solid and vibrant. Additionally, the good use of character-background contrast makes the drawing even more appealing. Not to mention the imagery created in the scene by the characters' poses and expressions.
(Suggested by *Lyricanna)

Manga/Anime > Traditional Media > Drawings

====================================================================

I was infatuated by this beautiful deviation upon first sight. The gradient is scrumptious, and draws the viewer to the center, getting oneself lost in the wonderful colors in between. What wonderful imagery in this fractal wonderland!

With a good use of lighting and contrast, A Miragem. is a warm and mysterious ID with a desert charm. *appleplusskeleton looks elegant and intriguing, and the look in her eyes cries out silently hundreds of memories and stories. A beautiful way to present oneself to the community.

Let yourself be entranced by the pristine beauty of metal of Coldness . WallPaper. This amazingly detailed image by *Kaeltyk contains a splendid use of contrasts and lighting, which combined with an excellent selection of wintry tones, create an elaborate and infinite design that simply cannot be ignored.

DJ gig poster is fresh, lively, creative, and appealing. In this piece, *fetish55 takes a bunch of everyday things and sights, and turns them into an amusing and attractive composition that is effective for advertisement or just about any other use.
