Awesome Deviants from DA

I thought I would do a post on the awesome artists at Deviant Art whose line work I have colored or just have amazing artwork. It would be insane to try going through the entire site and picking out artists so, I am just using those in my watch list which is still quite a hefty list and growing.

There is no particular order for any of these artists as saying one is better than another just wouldn't be right, they are all amazing and some are still perfecting their craft. I will list links to the artist's DA profiles at the end.

First up is j0kersWILD, an awesome artist from Australia whose favorite character happens to be DC's Harley Quinn. I have colored many Joker and Harley pieces drawn by her in which the line work could make you cross-eyed at times with the level of detail. She has recently gone to drawing other fanarts including some Pokemon (mostly Team Rocket) and some Disney characters. If I remember correctly she is either still an art student or takes many art related courses to learn new techniques and work out her style. Her gallery is definitely worth taking a look at.

Next up is Deamond89 from Germany. I have several pieces of line work from this artist waiting to be colored. The nice thing about Deamond89's line work is the fact that it is labeled according to how difficult the piece will be to color. The pieces are also usually in a very large resolution that is murder on a low RAM system. Most of the gallery is in a manga style and based on Original characters but, there are some fanarts like Link from Legend of Zelda.

Next is JosephB222 from the US. This artist's gallery is very sci-fi based with fanarts from Star Wars and Mass Effect. A very talented artist with other line and finished fanart works including Futurama, GI Joe, several DC titles and other cartoon favorites like Kim Possible. His Sith Princesses gallery is very entertaining, the thought of Disney Princesses as light saber wielding Sith death machines, Awesome and well drawn.

Next is CallMePo, an artist from Canada. This is definitely a gallery to check out if you like the girls/women of DC. I will admit that not all of his pieces are viewable by everyone and I have colored a couple of his more mature rated line works. CallMePo is very talented in the art of Power Girl from DC, he also has a section of his gallery just for Kim Possible. Many of the pieces in his gallery are commission based but, he does have some line work that can be downloaded and colored.

Next is KidNotorious also know as Charles Holbert Jr. This artist gallery is very diverse, you can find works from Marvel as well as DC and many old and new Saturday morning cartoon favorites and Anime. His line work is very clean and easy to color, my biggest problem is the ink work is usually so well done that I don't want to mess it up by adding color.

There are still several other artists in my watch list that have amazing work but, these are the ones that update the most often and whose work I have the most experience with. Other artists in my watch list are photographers and photo-manipulators who do great work as well but, their works don't exactly fit the idea behind this post.
