BIG NOTE: This is a WIP, shall complete when getting home, cant seem to save drafts properly using school computer.


All righter, Eugene here, approximately 4 days ago +/- 1 day (Depending on your time-zone), i begun roaming about deviant art daily, in between my coding sessions. Some may have seen me, read the comments i gave, and the critiques given. And the fruits of it all, was finding underrated / future potentially great artist.

The feeling of finding one of those hidden gems, and in light of their work , they certainly deserve more credit, much more then what they have now. Similarly we stumble upon artist that showed great potential. He/She may even be having a gallery full of , but there are reasons to be optimistic, so look out, give them one or two years, they (hopefully) would get better.

So poof, this mini-feature was born. (my definition of under-rated is below 100,000 views +/- ALOT ) Note that other then the categories, there are placed in no particular order, and each of them has 5 images chosen to represent, them, which may not necessarily be the best. But is representative (i feel) of them. Also, for most of them, a FULL VIEW is needed to appreciate the work.


A dominantly traditional medium artist. Underneath the mess in this gallery, you find a few pieces of absolutely wonderful pieces of work, several paying homage to famous icons in the world, artistically rendered. If you searching for good quality painting of portraits, this is the fellow you want to look out for. Wonderful traditional pop-culture paintings.

Another dominantly hand based artist, wishing to get a tablet to break into the digital art realm. However he has the basic and the ground up, his works are of great standards. And his ink work, is wonderful, and beautifully done. But it does not end there,[The first image] was an attempt digital art, with a mouse. For those who ever tried coloring with a mouse, it is a torture compared to the tablet, and with the work he pulls out of his hat, a tablet will really be useful for him in the long run. Wonderful ink work, that is masterfully done [see image 2/3/4], making him probably one of the best hidden gem in this whole feature.

Notes from Eugene:

Daily deviant, check... Photo realistic render, check... Attempts bending the line of 3d and 2d, check... Heavy eye for details (in 3d), check...
Page views at about 2800+, WHAT THE !!! ...

The above may have been dramatic, but that is the weight of the hammer that hit me, every now and then i look at DD but when i found this wonderful 3d artist through the daily deviant, with 2,800 views. I was surprised (go to DD and look at the average amount of views the contributor receive, and you will get what i mean), he is a wonderful 3d artist, go take a look, and show him some love

Using his line sketches, and dabbing them with photoshop brushes, he is an artist to look out for. Versatile in adapting to various design situations, from portraits, to character drawings, to comic/manga pages (and he is having one WIP), to even "speed" painting, [Yes above is arranged accordingly], its a wonder, with over a 100 deviant, he yet to cross the 50,000 view mark.


An artist who has yet to fully specialize in a single style. However, as she explores her various style. She manages to produce relatively good gems, mixing and matching several methods on the way. And for those who are able to experiment diversify and get away with it (as shown), usually face continuous steady improvements. Dun prove me wrong 2 years down Just keep on creating more works. [Note: she is technically not a freshie, if you count her old account, but lol so am i ]

Ayne, seemingly uncaring and tomboy-like, though she still have her feminine and kind side. Back on Earth, she took life for granted, having had an unbroken family with no financial problem, she got everything that she wanted e.g. DVDs, Books, Toys etc. Her ordinary life back in Planet Earth was thrown away, the moment she was warped into another world altogether. Forced into a live and fight situation, she reluctantly help take command of several forces in this new conflicting world. As she journey across this new world helping its residence while finding a way home, she embark a journey of friendship, hardship, leadership, loneliness, triumph, and falls.

It was certainly a humble experience in learning about 1 important factor... timing... halloween brings about a huge flood of competition and festivity. >_> We hence apologise with the closing of this competition, and appreciated the few who were msged and were intrested, but failed the submission deadline. We are however unable to extend the dateline, due to the work commitment involved in the final game submission. Hence the humble apology.
