wonderful art..interesting gallery. :)

so,this is a pregnancy?it does not have to be carried to term,ha ha.No,this is a great painting.abstracts are very hard to do;realism is easy,in comparison.maybe I should try that Zen,and let it draw itself,I'm too controlling.

Needs front page again

This is one of the best drawings on this site.

Amazing depth of color and texture, and what a different choice of subject.

Was a fine piece

why does it say "begin" down in the left corner?

very excellent, and great political piece. (how do you get the grid on there?you drew it?for the wierd perspective?yeah, that angle looks difficult. the five sided star is used for a lot of things, but also just to design. it's beautiful, love that it's the twin towers, thank you!

Need this on the front page again

Zacks workin... game art and all that kinda stuff http://zackf.deviantart.com/

And I loved that freakish windmill house and the village on trees where everything looks peaceful but there was something rotten there.. Oh, and he also had a great piece with blues and yellows, it was some sort of organ combined with a machine..

Fuck, I knew I should have low balled him starting at $20.

I like Staci's idea, something more like Daily Deviations would be cool. The whole 'like and dislike button system' seems like it would be counterproductive because it allows people to judge anonymously and without explanation, making the showcase purely a popularity contest (opposed to a place to display the sites more skillful or innovative or interesting digital art). And yes, judging things like this would be subjective but could be relatively objective if there was some loose criteria to be met that we all agreed on (I mean, don't most prominent and respected award systems work in such a way?).

Thinking about it now I think there are pretty solid reasons a lot of pieces were showcases like this one. There was a collective evolution of skill as 2draw developed from when I joined in 2004. There seemed to be a point where the bar was raised weekly for a few years and then we got to now where it has kind of gone stagnant. We are left to look at the current content as a whole and maybe a lot doesn't fit, but when it was showcased it was amazing, inspiring, or whatever at the time it as created.

rare... but i like..!

very good; uh,so I'll pass along my "German girlfriend joke." "My girlfriend was German(How German was she?)She was so German,when we were in a restaurant,she had them bring her beer in a bucket,cause she refused to have a Stein at the table."

He's still sailing along

I have trouble getting the skin tones,and the freckles,and subtle coloring right;wonderful.You did it.

what a pure look!

Those eyes are so beautiful. I noticed how excellent the hair looks also. Just a beautiful amazing drawing, so innocent this lil one looks.

this is worth bringing back to the top of the stack, time after time...

totally agree

This is sweet.

yes, put this in the showcase. beautiful!!! wow.you could do professional illustrating,. too.

already been in here for 7 years?Hah. we dig out the archives?

>.< It already is in showcase Dotty, for about 7 yrs now.

I forgot all about this.. so cool

it's very good.but I just wonder why some things are chosen for show case,and other artists who are also incredibly good,are never chosen.What's the criteria,anyhow?I thought for a long time,it was just photographic perfection,but this one is not.so is it polish?finished quality?style?professionalism?hard to tell what the show case people are thinking,but then again,I could never tell why the Academy Awards were chosen the way they were,too.

@ Dorothyblueeyes Yeah.. Think of it as the Grammy awards.

This needs to be back up
