Hello everyone and welcome to the first of a monthly news Article which will have art that the admin around dA have hand picked.

The idea of this is to get those unknown artists better known.
So I decided I would ask the admin in dA what art they would like to see featured . But there was a catch. Each piece of art had to 50 favs at the very most. Now I realise some of these may have a little more then that now, but at the time it was sent to me it did have 50 or less favs.


I'm sure you dont want to hear me yapping on so Ill just get right into the features, cause that's what your here to see right

Admins Hand Picked

A little about ^Jules1983

I'm - along with ^shebid - the Gallery Moderator of the Vexel gallery. My main goal is to keep the vexel gallery clean as well as support vexel artists by featuring them and getting them involved within the community.

So... I guess this is goodbye by - ~Three-Ring-Circus

^Jules1983 - I'm totally blown away by the colors and perspective in this.


Exhibited On White by - ~Echoia

^Jules1983 - This is so different. I love the idea with the white canvas and the wonderful expression.


012 - Insanity by - ~StillLifeBattle

^Jules1983 - So simple, but the color transition is great!


Breeze by - ^shebid

^Jules1983 - I admire ^shebid's talent when it comes to freehanding things. It's one of the many things I wish I was good at. Another thing would be her talent of using gradients.


The Sunrise, Ayumi by - ~JimmyLy

^Jules1983 - I'm begging for this vexel, and this artist in particular, to get more faves. Such attention to detail shouldn't go unnoticed!

A little about $hexentanz

If you know me or have been to my page before then you will know it is no secret that I really love Moss & Lichens. From the smell to texture and color I just cannot resist their natural beauty.

Lilo Silloutte by ~opticalblasphemy

$fangedfem - Simple yes, but still a wonderful capture of a feline moment with the subtle texture adding a unique feel.

All Away - by `jerryhazard

$fangedfem - A piece that captures emotion quite well, like a shattered mirror that still allows a glimpse of the full being.

Look...Spring time Coming by ~vids

$fangedfem - This just makes me smile, a lot! Not only damn cute but captured very well.

43. Walking On Water by ~loverulesall

$fangedfem - A very different perspective on a cat! Very creative and has a surreal touch that makes it even more awesome.

A little about ^Thiefoworld

Well I'm ^Thiefoworld and in the Gallery Moderator of Cartoons & Comics alongside ^Cedarseed My job is to foster creativity and communication within the community, in this case focusing on the C&C community. What I try to do is to offer exposure to deviants as well as encourage positive interaction with the members, via Daily Deviations, feature articles and in the near future, contests and events in chatrooms.

Sol... by ~VioLeS

^Thiefoworld - A simple photograph with a huge visual impact, the contrast of lights gives a nice and crisp effect that captures your attention inmediatly.

Hysteria by =enis-tareh

^Thiefoworld - Talking about images with a visual impact, this photomanipulation can be interpreted in many ways. The red color really adds an interesting feeling to it.

Payaso By ~Deino

^Thiefoworld - A drawing that remind me of the classic portraits of sad clowns, great use of traditional media in a stylish presentation.

A little about ^Helewidis

Hello, my name is Eloísa Valdes and I'm one of the Photojournalism Moderators. This means I'm part of the volunteer staff and that all I do (except giving DD's and moving deviations) you can do too. It pretty much can be summed up into the Community Relations "Theme": Fostering Creativity and Community Spirit!

morning glory By ~alho

^Helewidis - I was immediately drawn to it by its way of "loose drawing", when I saw its thumbnail in ~alho's gallery. "Morning glory" reminds me of those nights when something went wrong and one can tell it from the next morning's appearance in the mirror... but it can also be taken to the wildest interpretations with stories about that girl and what happened to her... and makes us have questions, too! and that's why I liked it!

Opinion By ~philippajudith

^Helewidis - ~philippajudith's gallery is filled with cute comic strips amongst other equally great works, but "Opinion" struck me hard due to its darkness and how well it illustrates a point and how people perceive internet bullies. My congrats!

Lucille et son sac By =germaine-en-tongs

^Helewidis - I've been devwatching =germaine-en-tongs since long ago and I love all of her drawings, but the "patatons" are what made me devwatch her, and so I am very happy to see her doing one of them again after so much time gone. These lil fellas are fluffy and cute and overall very friendly and.. did I mentioned how cute they are? xD

Sister's Depression By *BreakingFree

^Helewidis - "Sister's Depression" by *BreakingFree speaks for itself, really. But if you want to know a lil' more, read the description. As for why I liked it, I can't point an exact reason. I just felt compelled to it.
It's calm and serene, but also sad - and that comes both from the palette of colours used, but from the pose, the clothes and the hairdressing, that reminds me of the victorian times, but also of rapunzel (which also takes me to the sense of being in front of a children's book illustration), that is also a sad story in itself...
