feature and feedback contest
As the header states, this shall be my entry to Agaave's Feature and Feedback Contest
During my five years of browsing deviantART I've stumbled upon some real masterpieces.
I've seen digital artworks which looked like traditional and on the other hand I've seen traditional art which I've mistaken for digitally made material.
Before buying my first tablet a few years back I didn't have the kind of respect for digital art than I had for traditional
and somehow it became a kind of an artsy milestone for me if a traditional piece fooled me into thinking it was digital.
Maybe it's the vivid colors ?
This feature is dedicated to those artists who have made my jaw drop when I've scrolled down to see that the fantastic piece of art is traditional.
(Every artist has music recommendations attached to them, you can find the players in the end of this journal)
Keep amazing people with your skills !
Windspirit-aquaeris
Windspirit-Aquaeris is the master of colored pencils.
Her dragons fly through vivid sunsets or stunning views of space.
I've been watching her for years already but I still can't get tired of her magnificent masterpieces. There's thousands of details in every piece she makes with the best color combos you'll ever see. There is some kind of magical sorcery going on behind her incredible works, I swear ! Someday I hope to be able to color like her but in the meantime I'll rely on my Copics.♥
Music to listen to while checking her gallery out:
Imagine Dragons or Bastille
Lindoart
On the contrary to Windspirit-Aquaeris' bright and upbeat works, LindoArt creates dreamy moods in her paintings. The artist's use of pastel colors contributes to the mysterious vibes in her art and the fact that she's painting on wood panels is unbelievable. The texture it gives looks ravishing. While watching her works I usually listen to Lana Del Rey or
Florence and The Machine's music. It is recommended wholeheartedly !
theirison
theirison is a remarkable artist with a unique style and use of color.
All his works are very well executed and the attention to detail is truly mind-blowing. I fell in love with the bright colors and geometric shapes. The mix of abstraction and photo-like people in his works is luring the viewer to take a closer look. I have a habit of taking long trips into his gallery whenever I feel blue and it surely does wonders ! Top that with EasyFun or Dreamtrak's music and you have a match made in heaven.
Mature Content
awaicu
awaicu is definitely one of my favorite deviantART users ever.
Her style is recognizable and fascinating and her use of gel pen to give the artwork some edgy details is spectacular ! The different creatures' anatomy is always flawlessly drawn despite the angle it is positioned in.
I'm always eager to see what she has created when
I see a new artwork from her sitting in my watchbox !
Uplifting old goldies like Kraftwerk and Jean-Michel Jarre are very suitable to be listened to while wandering around her gallery !
cam-miyu
I am a sucker for anything Art Nouveau and cam-miyu's gallery is full of the two things I love to bits and smithereens: Art Nouveau and tattoos.
I chose to feature only one of her fantastic works solemnly for the reason that, as you can see, it features the lovely little dwarf Gimli.
The color combo is fantastic as is in her other works too
and the details are stunning, making the piece one of my forever-favorites.
Recommended music: The 1975 or Arctic Monkeys
sysirauta
Sysirauta is a fellow Finn who has a freakish talent in stuffing numerous details in their artwork.
Being a total pro in using a wide variety of traditional media to create these magnificent pieces, Sysirauta is a one of a kind with their unique and recognizable style. I've always wondered where their ideas and concepts for art come from because, truly, their original characters are some of the most fascinating and detailed creatures I've ever seen. Visiting their gallery is a guaranteed inspiration. Just take a look yourself !
Music recommendation: 30 Seconds To Mars or Linkin Park.
