Sailor Moon - 1st DD by LuAntunes

Sailor Moon by ~LuAntunes
This lovely traditional-art drawing of the fan-art character, Sailor Moon, is delicately drawn, right down to the shadow on the cheek. The stars that usually surround Sailor Moon are even part of the drawing. Subtle and petite, the drawing has a gentle elegance. Be sure to check out the rest of the gallery for additional traditional art.

Princess escape by Manweri

Princess escape by ~Manweri
Even a fairy princess cannot wait for her "Prince Charming"! Not only is this digital work well done with the perfect expression on the dragon's face, and look of fear mixed with hope on the face of the princess as she scales the window in an attempt to escape her tower, it, also illustrates how many people cannot wait for someone else to come along to help out. People have to learn to help themselves. This is an excellent example of taking that chance towards an unknown destiny.
And besides all that, it is a wonderful fantasy piece with crisp details right down to the ivy on the tower and the birds in flight in the sky, as well as a thrill to the heart when one looks at the Dragon and sees his not-too-friendly face peering around a too-small roof that barely holds his scaly body.

At - the God of Machines by Sergey-Lesiuk

At - the God of Machines by *nitro-killer
The suggester states with great respect, "I find this eye-catching, professional and scale-concept of the God. Keep it up, my dear friend and teacher!"

Last Roll Out by Grouper

Last Roll Out by ~Grouper
~Grouper captures the Space Shuttle Atlantis, with its giant shadow reflected on an even larger building, slowly making its way out of the hanger. This night picture is crisp and clear, but more importantly, it marks the last great shuttle launch of the United States, which will be July 8, 2011. The Space Shuttle Atlantis will mark an end to an advanced era of history. NASA� has been running the Space Shuttle Program since April 21,1981, marking 30-years of Space Shuttle Missions, and a career of launches that go back to the later 1960s.

A Storm is Brewing by Reckless-Buddah

A Storm is Brewing by ~Reckless-Buddah:
CATEGORY: Contests / 2010 / Picture Yourself in Wonderland:
This digital work that was for the "Picture Yourself in Wonderland" contest that is now over, has great attention to details. I adore all the cups of tea that show the table in movement since the tea is splashing out of the cups. The young queen is planted on the table obviously pressing down firmly with her hands and feet in order to hold on for dear life. The look of the eyes of the queen is creepy and yet stirring at the same time. The overall hue gives the entire work a dreamy and ethereal look. She looks to be in distress and vulnerable and yet determined at the same time. The tiny crown, the brooch, the pattern on the tablecloth, shows a determination by the artist to provide as much detail as possible, without overwhelming the deviation.

How to Be a Better DeviantHow to Be a Better Deviant
Despite so many of the complaints some people have against it, DeviantART is a very good social network geared specifically towards artists and people who appreciate art.  DeviantART is, in fact, one of the very first sites of its kind, predating even such social networking giants as Facebook and Myspace.
It is a wonderful place to share your work, to look at the work other artists have created, to offer and receive advice on artwork, and many other functions.  You will find that there are lots of fellow Deviants out there who want the best for you and want to see you excel as an artist and as a member of the DeviantART community.  On the other hand, you will also find an alarming number of people who like to troll, flame, spam, and just generally cause trouble for fellow Deviants.  Every place has them, and there's no escaping it.
That said, there are a few ways you can survive the onslaught of some of

How to Be a Better Deviant by HarmonicSonic

How to Be a Better Deviant by =HarmonicSonic
CATEGORY: deviantART Related / deviantART Tutorials:
The suggester says of this well-written, precise and thorough treatise on "How to be a Better Deviant", "I've come across a DeviantART-related piece of literature that I think is highly deserving of a DD (and several deviants have commented on the piece expressing similar thoughts). The tutorial-style piece of literature entitled "How to be a Better Deviant" by =HarmonicSonic, is very informative, and I think it pretty accurately addresses a lot of deviants' frustrations with the site; it also promotes a positive attitude, which I think is a very good thing here on dA."
I not only agree with *sleddog116's assessment, I would proffer it henceforth as mandatory reading for all deviants! If only I could.

Thor - Frost Giant Concept 3 by *michaelkutsche
Holy Concept Art, Batman! Oh, wait... wrong movie. Frost-Giant concept-art for the movie "Thor" drawn by deviantART's own member extraordinaire, *michaelkutsche. His gallery is incredibly professional and aside from that, simply awesome. Take a look and drool.

Steps of Annwn by SWKerr

Steps of Annwn by *SWKerr
This beautiful oil painting is one of many lovely paintings in *SWKerr's gallery. The details are incredible; as if the viewer is peering through a window looking at the scene. Every detail, from the swan, the flowers, the intricacies of the patterns on the clothes, to the oar handles on the boat, keeps the eye busy sweeping over the picture taking in the breathtaking view.

Mermaid by Unilight

Mermaid by *Damienn333
Even in this beautiful sunset, the Mermaid looks sadly out to sea for her lost love. Beautiful colors, stunning sunlight, an incredibly cool boardwalk and the evening sky all make for a gorgeous photo. Check out the gallery. Just beautiful photography.

Snow O Parker by s27w

Snow O Parker by ~s27w
CATEGORY: deviantART-Related/deviantID: Given for Concept, as well as for just being really "cool".
The suggester says, "A beautiful and elegant ID."
And I have to say this reminds me of the White Witch from the movies/books, "Chronicles of Narnia" ~ eerily white and cold with a demanding presence that cannot be ignored. Very well done from the makeup to the photography, this is a unique deviantID.

Welcome to Wonderland by shalizeh

Welcome to Wonderland by ~shalizeh
CATEGORY: Contests / 2010 / Picture Yourself in Wonderland:
Originally made for the Wonderland contest, this amazing work is a feast for the eyes. The details are many and well done, and I adore the Cheshire Cat and the background, as well as the way the young woman (wearing a Mad Hatter Hat!) sits on the frame corner with the teacup in her hand that appears delicately outside of the tilted frame. This eye candy will keep your entertained as you seek to see every detail. And do not miss the gallery! Full of wonderful art!

To Catch A Moon-Fish by Qinni

To Catch A Moon-Fish by *Qinni
CATEGORY: Contests / 2011 / Fotolia Contest; One Cat, One Fruit, One Clock:
Originally entered into the Fololia Contest, this fanciful deviation ties in the elements with skill and blending for a delightful piece. The strawberries are part of the clouds and the clock is patterned in a cool way into the fish dangling from the gorgeous blue sky. The adorable kitty is perched far above the city as he takes in the imaginative sights.

Nocturnal fight by Red-IzaK

Nocturnal fight by *Red-IzaK
This is just one of the amazing art pieces in the gallery of *Red-IzaK ~ this fantastical work comes from within the thoughts of the deviant who says of her work, "...Rawena, (the black gryphon) fighting with Mizerykordia (the evil golden bird) under the stars..." The details are simply breathtaking. The looks on the faces of the creatures, the wings, the background sky... beautiful.

Forgotten Fairytales by JoJoesArt

Forgotten Fairytales by *sanguisGelidus
CATEGORY: Contests / 2011 / RIFT Create a Colossus Contest:
The suggester says of this deviation originally created for the RIFT contest, "The image is full of atmosphere and magic, mostly because of the lighting and wonderful colouring. The blue eyes of the dragon as a contrast to the greens and yellows of the background add a focus to the picture and make the dragon look like he would be hypnotized by the dryad's melody. Overall, the image is massively detailed where needed, well composed and highly enchanting. It seems to tell the viewer a story, which not every picture can achieve."

Harry Potter by ReillyBrown

Harry Potter by *ReillyBrown
The suggester, who wishes to remain anonymous, says, "I think this piece is a great tribute to the series, and is a very dynamic art full of movement - I love the emotion captured in the golden trio's expressions and poses, it's so dramatic. I also like how the work is not entirely based on the actors playing the characters, but rather it's from the artist's imagination."
And in the meantime, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ~ Part Two" is released today. Sadly, it is the end of the movie saga but millions upon millions of Potter fans are very anxious to see it!

Behind The Mask by Vulkanette

Behind The Mask by *Vulkanette
Beautifully painted in oil on stretched canvas, Hogwarts' Castle is in the background while Snape holds the ethereal mask that demonstrates how he has had to work both sides of the issue to quietly work to help Harry get to his destiny. The painting shows the anguish in Snape's face, as well as the knowledge he probably won't live to see the magical new-world order.
The colors from the glow of the orange sky, to the fog that surrounds the mountain, to the darkness of Snape's robes, the painting illustrates a scene that can vividly stand out in the mind of the viewer, long after the deviation has been viewed.
The final segment of the Harry Potter movie saga is released. Watch it and take in the books in full visual view.

Freeze Frame - Toy Story 3 by Jullith

Freeze Frame - Toy Story 3 by ~Jullith
CATEGORY: Contests / 2010 / Freeze Frame 2:
The suggester says of this delightfully wonderful scene that could be in any of the "Toy Story" Pixar� Films, " A lovely and tender drawing, like a scene from the movie itself."
The drawings and colors are muted a bit, with the center light coming from the TV, as if the boy has set up his toys to enjoy his favorite TV Show. The delicate touch of the artist flows to Andy's eyes, wide open with wonder, along with the munching on his popcorn snack and taking in every frame of the show with baited breath.

In Memories of Severus Snape by WilliamSnape

In Memories of Severus Snape by *WilliamSnape
CATEGORY: Traditional Art/Oil: SPOILER ALERT!! For anyone who hasn't read the books or seen any of the movies, the following is a critical plot point!
Alas, as this touching painting shows, Severus Snape is no longer. Finally Harry could see the truth, but unfortunately, not before Snape was dead. Beautifully done in a dark tone to reveal the darkness that surrounds the subject and the dank place in which he met his demise. The Shrieking Shack, long ago abandoned and in hideous shape not just from years of neglect, but in which the way it was treated by its occupants during the full-moon cycle by Remus and his friends, became an unfitting place to die for an incredibly brave man. Looking closely at the deviation, note the wooden planks as the floor, the broken doors, the slant of the ceiling, the damaged wall.... giving the aura of emptiness, decay and incredible sadness. RIP Severus.

S t a t i c D e a t h . by *korn13blind
CATEGORY: deviantART-related/deviantID:
The suggester states, "...i have been watching *korn13blind for a while and her latest work in my opinion, is really riveting."
This deviantID has been photographed beautifully; with the contrasted black background the ID showcases the redness of the hair, the beautifully-outlined green eyes, and the luscious lips of the model that coordinates with the starkness of the tattoo on the upper arm. Tying in the greens with red as a highlight, this deviantID is, indeed, striking. Very well done!

Great Couch Great Dane by KonikPolski

Great Couch Great Dane by ~KonikPolski
The suggester says, "I grew up having a Great Dane. Words can't describe how much these giants can teach you about principles and values that the world seems to forget so often about. They represent an amalgam of opposites: they have such an impressive stature, but they move around you and around everything that you own with an immense care and attention, they have an amazing agility, but they show it only when you nourish their excitement, they have an unimaginable strength, but they act like they are fragile, like babies, most of the times, because they yearn for attention and for love, they know honour and respect and they live by them. It brings joy to my heart when I read about people like ~KonikPolski, who are lucky and human enough to take part at activities meant to rescue Great Danes who had the misfortune to be abandoned or mistreated."

The suggester says of this heart-breaking, traditional-art deviation, "I think this is a very special piece and it has an important message to say."
Having lost friends and relatives to Alzheimer's Disease, this deviation is especially meaningful to me. The artist description explains the concept that the body is still there, but the mind is completely gone.

The amount of phenomenal detail, character pose, design, and execution all blend together to capture a tremendously alluring seductiveness in this gorgeous woman being formed together out of dissolving pink ink... now THAT is just spectacularly original indeed, and needs to be in the main spotlight as a DD, I truly gotta say!!

Absolutely adorable and a perfect deviantID to demonstrate family fun and togetherness.
Then sadly, on June 25, 2011 he passed away in a horrific way. The family will forever hold him close to their hearts. RIP Henry. A happy, playful and precious kitten. His family will miss him.

A Never Ending Battle by ~Misted-Dream
CATEGORY: Contests / 2009 / Bring Your Vision to Life:
The battle between good and evil, brought to you by ~Misted-Dream in full, warring color. As she says herself, "In all things, I believe there is both good and evil. Each rages inside fighting for control, but the battle never ends. One side may dominate over the other momentarily or take control for years...." Beautifully done, the unicorns play out their battle in a scene that flows from the light into the darkness. The water shows life as it flows into dry, barren land. With each view I see another detail of the battle between Good and Evil.
