Feature-ish Thing!

Hello once again, people of the internet! As you probably know, there are SO MANY people here on deviantArt that use their talents to create wonderful pieces of artwork. But sometimes the swift click of the favorite button is not always showing as much of appreciation for a work of art, or even an artist, that should be shown. That's why I ended up creating this journal, to say "Thank you" to all the artists I've noticed that have created truly amazing works of art and have inspired me to keep trying (even when I don't want to/when I stink at arting, which is a lot of the time). So here are some of the people who have really motivated me to keep going and have graciously displayed beautiful masterpieces in this art community here on dA:

AspiringIllustrator Even though we know each other in real life, our busy lives don't always allow us to see each other very often. So I wanted to let you know (even though you don't have any art up here yet) that you are an AMAZING artist. You are so good at drawing realistic dogs and foxes and all kinds of nature, and (despite what you might say) have mastered the art of using water colors and the inking process. Even your cartoons are fantastic, and your occasional craft usually blows my mind (if it's one you finish before your dogs get at it, haha). I don't know how often you're even on dA and I don't know if you'll see this for two months, but I wanted to make sure you knew how great of an artist and friend you are

Blairaptor Not too long ago, I discovered your art here. I don't remember how I came upon it, but after scrolling through your gallery and only taking a look at a few of your recent pieces, I was literally just like whoa. I was so impressed by your work. I instantly fell in love with the way you outlined characters, the way you colored certain parts of each piece, and the way the sketches that you posted looked so perfect. And once I found out more about The Monster Club and REM by reading some of the descriptions on each art piece, I realized you are not only a wonderful artist, but you have extraordinary story ideas. Stay strong in your faith, and I really hope that in the future you will be able to do something BIG with all of your ideas and art
This has to be one of my favorites from your gallery currently...Nathan is such a dork

Bonkalore To be honest, I think you were one of the first artists I found out about here on dA and one of the reasons I ended up joining in the first place. Before having an account, I would sometimes just look up your username and see what awesome thing you created next (not in a stalker-ish way, haha). Looking through your gallery, I noticed you just have so many creative and wild story ideas more than anything else. Although drawings can be cool, stories are very important and you are exceptionally well at bringing the audience into the world that the story takes place in. You are amazing at both digital and traditional works and I hope everything works out for you with the Paperman Project, as well as some of the other ideas you have
Ever since I first saw it, I have always loved this piece. The colors are amazing!

cgratzlaff You were also one of the first artists I discovered here on deviantArt! I think I found out about you by your Guards! Guards! fake trailer somehow...anywho, I have always loved your style SO MUCH because quite a bit of it involves black outlines, which is how I like to draw digitally (or really the only way I know how to at the moment). Your characters are appealing and lovable, funny and cute, and there's really nothing to hate about your art at all. Your short comics are great and your animations are flawless. Even your flat color sketches are neat. I have to say, there can't be one thing I dislike about your artwork
For some strange reason, I have always gone back to look at this comic because I like it so much. Finch and Shady FTW

sharkie19 Gosh, there are SO MANY things I could say about your artwork. It's just so amazing! To start, I seriously love the way you use color; whether bright colors or dark colors or both, you always make the picture pop and come to life somehow. Your style is really cool as well, and even though you draw a lot of characters from TV shows or movies, you really make the characters your own through your style. You probably get this a lot, but your style's very cute and appealing and everything about it is so wonderful. Your original pieces show how creative you really are and I can't get enough of the patterns and random shapes you always add to the background of pieces. You draw eyes so nicely, your lines are smooth, and it is obvious that you love what you do. All I can say is awesome.
This piece will probably always be my favorite...the colors and how unique each character is really stand out to me.

Because I can't write a short paragraph about all of the artists that are amazing and inspiring, here is just a little something about a few more:

markmak Your Gravity Falls art is fantastic and looks as if it could've come out of the show
Miss-Jazz-DaFunk I seriously can't wait to see what you do with your art in the future because it's so awesome!
Naomi-Bee Your cartoon style is so adorable and I always love seeing something new from you in my messages
ElvenWhovian I love the way you sketch things and the way you portray Wheatley and Chell from Blue Sky
CherryVioletS Your Gravity Falls drawings are really amazing! I love the way you use colors in each one
DB-artwork I always loved Stitch as a kid and your art makes me remember how great of a character he was. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought you worked on the animating the film because your drawings are spot on
muminika I think your drawing style's really neat and I have always loved your Portal drawings, as well as any other art you have posted! Your style's very appealing
TangledMangle Your crossover ideas are really cool and the humans you draw look very realistic in a cartoon-ish kind of way. I think that's awesome
KreApex Though I found out about you just recently, I can tell you have a lot of potential. I love Malakai and his story, and I think all of your pieces are beautiful

Well, that's about it! That took a little while, haha I just want to say thank you again to all of these artists for truly inspiring me and brightening my day by posting art every once in a while. You make me smile And hopefully this brightened your day too!
