I'm quite sure that the half of the world already knows about DeviantArt.com, a website where art meets application. This new, interesting online platform became the fertile soil on which the seeds of aestheticism grow. Even though this platform is maybe not the best place for writers to introduce their work to the audiences (Duh, we have Odyssey for that), visual pieces of art bloom across it. Therefore, I decided to count down 5 of my favorite DeviantArt profiles/artists which already grabbed the hearts of numerous art omnivores across the Web.
5. Wojtek Fus (http://wojtekfus.deviantart.com)
This amazing Polish artist is recognizable by his extremely detailed digital art pieces. Majority of them suit perfectly as my laptop wallpaper for more than a year now. The futuristic sites on his works could make the most beautiful video game backgrounds, while his obvious admiration of Star Wars franchise floods his archive with the light-sabers.
4. Alice X. Zhang (http://alicexz.deviantart.com)
Alice comes from the US and her art takes a less mainstream path. Blended colors and unclear lines give an unreal effect to her digital pieces. Her page is covered with popular culture characters, from Marvel and Disney princesses to Sherlock and Doctor who. If you're into richness of color and the style diversity, you'll love this profile.
3. Sakimi Chan (http://sakimichan.deviantart.com)
Chan is arguably one of the best manga style artist on the platform. Some of the works on this profile, however, are not purely manga, but are rather mixed with the western styles. I hope you don't mind a bit of nudity, because the majority of this artist's pieces are based around sexy characters (often from the popular anime series and video games). If you do mind it, it's still O.K., because the mature filters are on and you can still enjoy the quality of Chan's work. The profile contains a bunch of artworks, which include gender bending, humanization of animal cartoon characters and even the human versions of web browsers. On top of that the artist is eager to share the techniques used and present the drawing tutorials.
2. Kelogsloops (http://kelogsloops.deviantart.com)
This young artist from Australia brings a unique and beautiful visual art. The artist has less works than the previous one, but the quality of the artworks makes up for it. The paintings on this profile seem to be the combination of watercolor and the digital editing. This combination will leave you staring at Kelogsloops' works, fascinated by their aestheticism.
1. Gabriel Picolo (http://picolo-kun.deviantart.com)
Frankly saying, there is nothing on the Web as charming for me, as the Picolo-kun Deviant Art page. Simple style, yet full of details is what earned this Brazilian the Deviousness award in April, this year. His interest switches between the simple notebook ink doodling and Harry Potter book pages to the compelling story of Icarus and Sun. Disney, Avatar, Digimon, Pokemon, Studio Ghibli, Cartoon Network original series, Pixar, and so on- Picolo has it all covered! He's one of the artist which makes me gladly come back to DeviantArt every time.
