...For people who I think, on this site, don't get enough credit. Period. Please, please, please...if you watch my page, or you're just here visiting, go check out their galleries. You won't be disappointed. These are people who have been my muses for the last 4 years or so, even some who I have only discovered recently. Take some time out of your schedules, and go take a look. It's well, well worth the time.

1. *Sinnocently - I play Warcraft with Eve (and her hubby), and just recently found out that she was an artist. Her pencilwork is AMAZING. Do yourself a favor, and stop by. One of my favorite pieces from her - [link]

2. =NightmareGK13 - Rui puts SO much effort in his armor for his characters, it's incredible. He has patience most people don't have, and attention to detail alot of artists lack, I notice. Impressive, impressive stuff. One of my favorite pieces from him - [link] . The inked piece is also up there, but I'm a HUGE fan of his linearts.

3. ~DrKitch - Not just because he's my boyfriend. Brett does things with literature that artists do with images. He brings them to life, and immerses his readers in the world of the imaginary. One of my favorite pieces from him hasn't been put up here yet, so this one will have to do. [link]

4. *jamberry-song - Jams has always been kind to me, from day one of me stepping into the #getLIT chat room. Her work is fantasic, and her Lit is always insightful. I recently found out she also does artwork, based on the fact she drew Solaris and Imarei (two of my OC's) via commission. And she did an incredible job. One of my favorite pieces from her: [link]

5. ~c3rmen - The manner in which she paints light just astounds me. Her colorwork will astound you, and she deserves more attention than she's gotten. My favorite piece from her? [link]

6. =samekh-mem - Really, Really, REALLY incredible stuff. WHY DOES SHE NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS! Lineart, colorwork, everything you could ever want in someone on your watchlist. Go admire her prowess. Do it. NAO. My favorite piece by far of anything on dA - [link]

7. *sTiLLbROWN84 - This guy is off the chain. Seriously. He gets very little recognition, for the utter beauty of his work. Fave piece - [link]

8. ~tiamot - I talked to Tia last night on MSN, and she shared with me some of her work on one of her favorite OC's. I'm telling you, her work blows people away on dA on a whole new level. The woman draws hair and eyes like NOBODY else on this site. Period. It was some of the most realistic, beautiful stuff I've ever seen. There was a piece of her OC Nyan's side profile that blew me away. If you need a char commission, please talk to her about it. The preview she showed me last night of Julio and Julianna absolutely took my breath away. It was impressive enough I'm trying to convince her to make a profession out of it. Her photography is amazing as well. My favorite piece hasn't been posted to her gallery, but please, please, please, check her out.

9. =KyDragonblade - She's another artist who should have more recognition for her work. Lance is amazing. Period. So interesting a character, and I like seeing people who put thought and consideration (as Tia said last night) into their characters. My fave piece: [link]

10. *nocturnalMoTH - Her Eggs and Pills pieces make me laugh so hard. SO HARD, I'm telling you. I've never seen anything like it. Seeing this sort of stuff will cheer you up so fast it's rediculous. GO NAO! My by far fave of all the eggs and pills pieces: [link]

And so, there we have it. Ten people that should be on your watchlist, no question. I'm officially starting this feature...I urge everyone on my watchlist to do the same. Make a shameless plug, say something nice about someone else, and who knows? Maybe you'll inspire someone to greatness. Sometimes, we all need a kind word or two.

With all my love,
-D.B.
