Under-appreciated artists

So recently I found a few AMAZING artists here who could definitely use some more attention. Most of their art has under 20 :+fav:s  when they should be getting so much more. Really, take a look at these. They're all either newbies with AMAZING talent or just under-appreciated artists with AMAZING art. All of them are on my :+devwatch: list and I suggest you do the same. :D
BTW these were all found while I was just looking through group messages. I don't know any of them outside of dA. XD
So without further ado, I present to you...


With only 873 pageviews and under 20 :+fav:s on each piece (some even only have 1 o.o), this girl deserves so much more - her work is gorgeous. I'm jealous of her hair skills and her toning. Take a look:
..::Colored Run::.. PC by Tia-Alir Lies by Tia-Alir Zebra Wander by Tia-Alir Life Goes On by Tia-Alir Green Glory by Tia-Alir Autumn Flee by Tia-Alir

This girl only has 540 pageviews and so very few :+fav:s, but she has INCREDIBLE talent in BOTH digital painting AND manipulation. She's only been manipulating since January!
I actually want to say something about her first manip, which is this one: horses are magical. by passionforhorse
It's hard to believe that this is her first manip. The lighting is PHENOMENAL; the hair, while not really painted, looks natural, shiny, and fits well in the manip, and there's even a vignette frame. I submitted it to Elite-Equimanips, wondering if her FIRST manip could make it in, and it indeed did. That is true talent.
Here's some more from her, all with gorgeous coloring, and amazing stock choice:

This girl does breathtakingly gorgeous work with only a laptop mouse pad. o.o Her work definitely deserves more recognition. Wish I could draw hair like hers! (And her lighting is gorgeous too!)

This girl has some gorgeous work and just deserves some more attention. XD  Under 10 :+fav:s? really?


Also - if any of you reading this journal finds other artists that definitely deserve some more attention, let me know! I'd love to take a look. :D
This is a little on the tail of dream-seer's journal recently about newbie artists who are finding their way (makes you think "Ahh, I remember when I was just starting to learn that!"... when you've been manipulating for as long as I have, it's always nice to look back and go... I remember when I first learned to cut! [or smudge, or whatever]!)... or on that note, have AMAZING talent and make you go "Oh WOW. You just started? O.O"

Spreading the Word

So there's a cool contest here on dA where if we share a link and tell others to vote, we get the chance to win a Wacom large tablet... a bigger one than the one I have would be AMAZING.
So I'm gonna give this a try. :)
Click  here: www.getontheshelf.com/product/… and vote for that. It does seem like an interesting idea. :)
Argh, wanted to make that a link with text but apparently dA doesn't support a href... O.o really?
I also stuck it under the links at the top of this journal entry. :)

About Journals in General

Someday I'll get around to making my own journal skin. XD Looking through the code, it doesn't seem too hard (I've coded tons of CSS on horse sims and such) but mostly I can't decide what image I want. :P
Anyone wanna give me ideas?
