DA can be so cruel sometimes. Otherwise how can someone explain the miniscule no: of comments on this immensely talented Srilankan artist - ~marlonpeiris . Great sense of colour, layout and overall balance paved way for some wonderful website designs and a flair for photography to match. Kudos to this talented young artist- My Deviant of the Month.
[link] and [link] are my personal favourites.

For an illustrator, the most painstaking part is for a style of his own to evolve and perfect. *AJ1 has plenty of potential and is getting there. Just look at some of his illustrations. [link] is one of my favourites.

Portrait sketches are something I always aspired to do. Its been a struggle to try and do that effortless strokes and capture emotions and physical features of people. I realized that its an inborn talent and I finally gave up trying.

Maybe seeing some great sketch artists in DA might have something to do with it. They dont get enough attention mind you, probably because the scanned sketches doesnt reflect the texture and more importantly the skill and effort that has gone into it.
~uztarroz makes me want to take up the pencil and give it a try. So inspiring are her works and a great display of talents is evident in each of his works.
Personally I would rate [link] and [link] as her best. But do check out the rest of her gallery.

Despite the seemingly endless talent that is displayed in DA, there will be a point of time for even the most optimistic, when you will have the "Same old thing, I have seen it before" feeling. Cure is definitely on the way! Take a look at he1z's gallery. His usage of colours, shapes, silhouttes and typography is something I have never seen before. Very unique and original. Do take a look.

Peace,Love and Understanding would be one of my favourites.
A piece inspired by his style got a DD by the way ... ---> [link]

Surreal art is always intriguing, sometimes captivating and very rarely gives the sense of completion if the artwork is done without feeling. Here is a artist *madhs who requires no description. Spend some time on her gallery and you will know why.
