Hello everyone and welcome to the second 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 artrists 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 peice 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.


Im sure you dont want to hear me yapping on so Ill just get right into the features, cause thats what your here to see right

waiting now by ~sliwka

$Dan14Lev -A brilliant blue dress in a sea of dull green - so beautiful!



Hugo Holidays by *1NNU3NDO

$Dan14Lev - I love the simplistic design with the splash of red and green. And the sparkles and glow just give it that touch of Christmas.



O-De-Su-style by ~vuda

$Dan14Lev - I'm in love with morbid photos. The expression in this is just amazing.



Serdar Gulgun by =suerdas

$Dan14Lev - Such a great angle. The cieling is a work of art in itself, the lighting, tones, and the angle - beautiful!

A little about @diamond281

I am one of the MN@ team who look after the forums and the chats to make sure our users are in a fun but safe envirnoment. I mostly focus on the chats and I can often be seen in #help, #MNadmin and #devart and in my other enjoyable rooms on dAmn. As an artist, I am a photographer and a poet.

Evening wave by *LeytonC

@diamond281 - Some people may know *LeytonC on dAmn but they don't know him as an amazing nature photographer, mainly at the beach in Aberdeen. In this particular shot, all the colours work so well with the light available. The waves almost look drawn!




Diz with Bird by ~Emartel

@diamond281 - I simply love traditional art and admire how much time and patience it must take to produce such amazing pieces. This piece really took my eye. I really do love the amazing colours used!

A little about @DreamingMyth

As an MN@ I am a volunteer who helps moderate dAmn (that's the chats and forums for those of you who didn't know).

A little about ^kkart

Well I am the Photography>Aniamls, Plants & Nature GM here on DA and my job is to promote nature photography as a whole in and around deviantART, and getting the word out about the nature photography community here, I also feature Daily Deviations, run contests, post news articles that are related to nature and nature photography,interview professional nature photographers, and actively recruit nature photographers to join deviantART. One of the things I find amazing is the quality of so many nature photographs on here and deviuants who are yet to be discovered. In fact, I have an entire collection dedicated to them and their images within my favorites titled "The Un-noticed by Unseen Deviants" and I invite people to browse this collection to find new photographers to watch! here are some highlights from that collection of images that deserve to be noticed:
