Welcome to the seventh edition of TWENTY. Joining the TWENTY family now is ~anemovatis. Join us as we take a look at TWENTY new high quality artists who deserve more recognition than they are currently getting.

The picks and reviews will be alternated between myself (S) and ~ anemovatis (A). Here are this issue's artists in no particular order.

1. (S) ~benjaminprice - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="115" height="88" border="0" alt="bolts"> <img src="[link] width="86" height="115" border="0" alt="Dramatic Virgin number two"> <img src="[link] width="115" height="84" border="0" alt="Rivendale Sunset"> <img src="[link] width="115" height="86" border="0" alt="San Francisco Peaks">

While he's gotten some pretty good recognition for a few photos, I think ~ benjaminprice isn't nearly getting the wide scale recognition he deserves. This kid is amazing behind a lens. I had a most difficult time selecting just 4 of his works to feature when his whole gallery is full of rich, vibrant color and some of the best shots I've had the pleasure of viewing on dA.

2. (A) ~peet - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="115" height="108" border="0" alt="Treebeard or Fangorn"> <img src="[link] width="115" height="87" border="0" alt="Farewell to Lorien"> <img src=" [link] width="88" height="115" border="0" alt="Gandalf the White"> <img src=" [link] width="115" height="86" border="0" alt="The Riders of Rohan">

For all the funs of LOTR here is a different flavor of the world of Tolkien, from a very talented fantasy artist. His washed-out colors manage to create a feeling of oldness and authenticity, things that you don’t see in the bright and glowing world of Wacom and photoshop.

3. (S) ~mecky - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="115" height="95" border="0" alt="Lilies in the pond"> <img src="[link] width="92" height="115" border="0" alt="Swan Bells"> <img src=" [link] width="115" height="91" border="0" alt="Little Red Boat"> <img src=" [link] width="115" height="91" border="0" alt="Up Close and Personal">

~mecky is another fine photographer who has a really good eye for shots and colors. His gallery is a bit small but expect more from this talented Australian.

4. (A) ~fallout75 - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="86" height="115" border="0" alt="Listen and Learn"> <img src=" [link] width="90" height="115" border="0" alt="Visual Warrior"> <img src=" [link] width="77" height="115" border="0" alt="Side Lip"> <img src="[link] width="59" height="115" border="0" alt="Chopper Head">

I am in awe of Fallout75’s Portraits (Caricatures), just look at them in the eyes and you will surely realize the talent of the artist. There are not many deviations in his gallery, but I am sure there are going to be a lot in the future.

5. (S) ~pesten1349 - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="81" height="115" border="0" alt="Grumple"> <img src="[link] width="81" height="115" border="0" alt="Jeg er en lampe"> <img src=" [link] width="83" height="115" border="0" alt="Den Glade Kemi"> <img src=" [link] width="63" height="115" border="0" alt="dust on LSD">

I like the paintings of ~pesten1349. With a bit of a mix of dark, trippy, and humerous this gallery was a lot of fun to look through.

6. (A) ~retrolex - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="115" height="112" border="0" alt="Wicked Blue"> <img src="[link] width="115" height="97" border="0" alt="Hallows"> <img src="[link] width="82" height="115" border="0" alt="Hallows 2"> <img src="[link] width="94" height="115" border="0" alt="Copper Sky">

The alternative perspectives and the bright full of life colors make
Retrolex's art look like it jumped out of manga movie from your TV.
I have to tell you that I have almost put his entirely gallery into my favs
the very same day I found out about him. I love his art and his excellent
coloring techniques. His is certainly a must have to your devwatch.

7. (S) ~rdd - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="91" height="115" border="0" alt="autumn fluffy"> <img src=" [link] width="93" height="115" border="0" alt="abstract - red wine"> <img src=" [link] width="88" height="115" border="0" alt="rdd - abstract"> <img src=" [link] width="90" height="115" border="0" alt="another world">

Im a huge fan of macro photography and ~ rdd has a gallery full of great macro shots. From abstract to otherworldly this gallery should not be missed.

8. (A) ~defected-angel - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="79" height="115" border="0" alt="remember the good old days"> <img src="[link] width="99" height="115" border="0" alt="the creatures"> <img src=" [link] width="83" height="115" border="0" alt="vasuki"> <img src="[link] width="84" height="115" border="0" alt="christmas present">

For all of you who don't afraid to face your nightmares, enter now the
twisted world of defected-angel. I really lost myself inside his gallery, trying to
figure out what I was looking in each of his deviations. I suggest that you will do the same and don't forget to use a Gothic Metal soundtrack while in there.

9. (S) ~travisty - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="94" height="115" border="0" alt="Maison"> <img src="[link] width="93" height="115" border="0" alt="Detail - La Sagrada Familia"> <img src="[link] width="103" height="115" border="0" alt="Edinburgh"> <img src="[link] width="91" height="115" border="0" alt="Avebury Tree">

Another passion of mine is long exposure night photography and ~travisty has some excellent shots, He also has some great cityscapes and street scenes. Also not to be missed is his Avebury Tree shot which I've included in the thumbs.

10. (A) ~carcassius - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="86" height="115" border="0" alt="face of the city"> <img src=" [link] width="91" height="115" border="0" alt="the river of the dead"> <img src="[link] width="115" height="85" border="0" alt="coured demonic whores"> <img src="[link] width="94" height="115" border="0" alt="THE JOKER OF TSIOU">

Paranoia, Decay, Death and a Hidden-Romance can be the only words hat describe carcassius's art. As a tattooist in his real-life, he really knows how to use his free-hand skills to draw around him his very own darkworld.

12. (A) ~zenphoenixa - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="86" height="115" border="0" alt="Jayden and Frost Thunderbyrd"> <img src="[link] width="86" height="115" border="0" alt="Fawriel - Holy Warrior"> <img src="[link] width="86" height="115" border="0" alt="Juliana wings"> <img src=" [link] width="86" height="115" border="0" alt="Orora">

Light and magic (but not industrial just fantastical) i think is the the best suitable
description for zenphoenixa's art. The dynamic flow that exists in all of his creations and the
excellent blending of bright colors are enough to draw your attention.

13. (S) ~adras - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="115" height="91" border="0" alt="low rider"> <img src=" [link] width="115" height="91" border="0" alt="Racer by Audi"> <img src="[link] width="115" height="91" border="0" alt="Niagara Falls at night v2"> <img src="[link] width="115" height="91" border="0" alt="Winter Shadows v1">

:devadras is another brilliant photographer who's shots you may have seen before. He still doesn't get much in the way of recognition though. Many of his night shots are to die for. So go look. Go on, go!

14. (A) ~eurayo - View Gallery

:852151: <img src="[link] width="115" height="43" border="0" alt="Skateboard4"> :890141: :1025083:

Here is a fresh new artist that should be watched. Eurayo gives you the feeling that
you just woke up from a beautiful dream and you draw it in one single picture the
moment after. Only 4 pieces in his gallery so far but all of them true diamonds.

15. (S) ~loci - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="115" height="82" border="0" alt="THE CHANNEL"> <img src=" [link] width="115" height="82" border="0" alt="030502"> <img src="[link] width="115" height="83" border="0" alt="LIZARD SKY 2"> <img src=" [link] width="115" height="82" border="0" alt="LIZARD SKY">

Loci has some very amazing and interesting abstract art, the way his colors blend and flow is simply incredible.

16. (A) ~marzena - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="85" height="115" border="0" alt="monumental dream part II"> <img src="[link] width="88" height="115" border="0" alt="Portrait of me while being sad"> <img src="[link] width="86" height="115" border="0" alt="Ravenos"> <img src="[link] width="87" height="115" border="0" alt="Moon came out from the fog">

Faces of melancholy is the way that marzena describe her art and i cannot disagree with her. The use of dark colors and the stunning expressions that gives to her characters are just enough to love her creations.

17. (S) ~josiebean - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="115" height="95" border="0" alt="Muse of the Orca"> <img src=" [link] width="90" height="115" border="0" alt="Abstract Watercolors 1v"> <img src="[link] width="96" height="115" border="0" alt="The Dondle Mock"> <img src="[link] width="115" height="98" border="0" alt="Wilting Roses">

Josiebean has a gallery full of amazing fantasy art, vivid watercolors, and some stellar photography, much of it hasn't even been looked at. So go already!

18. (A) ~noistar - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="115" height="106" border="0" alt="Limage vomit le mot"> <img src="[link] width="99" height="115" border="0" alt="Surreal killer"> <img src=" [link] width="115" height="79" border="0" alt="Skulleggs"> <img src="[link] width="73" height="115" border="0" alt="Scarecrowd">

A macabre artist is always a beloved artist for me. And this is what noistar really is. His drawing skills are unlimited
and so is his fantasy. A deviant who definitely deserves a lot more recognition!

19. (S) ~andimspent - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="91" height="115" border="0" alt="weary wisdom"> <img src=" [link] width="75" height="115" border="0" alt="post mortem of divinity"> <img src="[link] width="92" height="115" border="0" alt="society"> <img src="[link] width="110" height="115" border="0" alt="the love of lust">

Freehand at its finest form, ~andimspent is most definitely worth a long detailed look.

20. (A) :devKle: - View Gallery

<img src="[link] width="87" height="115" border="0" alt="kle35"> <img src="[link] width="84" height="115" border="0" alt="kle36"> <img src="[link] width="89" height="115" border="0" alt="kle41"> <img src="[link] width="115" height="69" border="0" alt="kledergi15">

What can be said about kle, his art is so insane that will make a madhouse patient feel healthy. The extreme details, the wicked perspective and the overall originality of what he draws are enough for me add him to the no1 place of my best artists list.
