Superb colors. The reflections and lighting puts the viewer right in the room with the red vase. By ~timseward Suggested by `La-Fi Featured by ^PurpelBlur	METROPOLIS by ~whmurai is full of just the right amount of details. The use of colors and the character design is just wonderful and entertaining! Suggested by ~Yuka-90 Featured by ^cosmosue	For a moment I thought I was seeing things. But when I paid a close attention to Hug by ~darin3200 I realized I was sane after all. My congratulations for the captured decisive moment and optical illusion! Featured by ^Helewidis
Starry Night by ~turp is a vector portrait that stands out from all the rest. Only the full view can explain the detail that went into this work. Featured by ^lemontea	Watching The Kids Play by =Arsiema. Like the Peoples Republic of China (not to be confused with greater China, like Hong Kong or Taiwan...and my Taiwanese friends will kill me for even mentioning Taiwan as part of "greater China" LOL), the window on life that is street photography is now closed on the United Arab Emirates. No longer can street photographers there share slices of their daily life in the UAE with the rest of us here at dA. And thus another government steals opportunities for understanding. Featured by ^bQw	My dad is a rock. He is solid, he is powerful. He can still pick me up and toss me over his shoulder. He is never seen to cry, he can never be swayed or damaged by opinion. He is a real estate agent, and he pushes those deals and sways those clients with confidence and experience. He flexes his arms at the dinner table when I ask him and points exactly which way it is to the beach or the gun show. He is a tree, a mountain, a thick and formidable presence in any room, in any place, against any person. “He’s late,” my mom said, and pursed her lip What Spies Do by ~MsCellanea is a story about kids who have to spy on their dad to keep him from straying off his diet. The suggester appreciates the "solid characters and brisk story telling -- carefully balanced between not bogging down readers with too many details, and being too stark." The writer makes excellent use of repetition, producing a strong, moving story. Suggested by =Iscariot-Priest Featured by ^lovetodeviate
Young Love- needle felted isn't your ordinary custom dolls. Unique with great craftmanship and personality, ~FeltAlive uses a barbed needle to sculpt wool into felted characters with heart and soul. Featured by ^Myana	Decidedly amorous and all the more intimidating, Cinderella by ~bagger043 is a fascinating exploration of what associations can be made through intricate arrangement of form. That the imagery entails characters so well known definitely serves as a wowing touch. Suggested by `wroth Featured by ^snowmask	Despite the slightly incorrect title (it's a vexel, a VEXEL!), jolie vector by ~casual-funky-monkey is classy, sensual and technically superbly done. Great job! Featured by ^Jules1983
Azurewrath by ~Ikaami has completely transformed this landscape into a soulful and timeless scenery. The suggester says: "Striking landscape, incredibly realistic, yet with a powerful fantasy atmosphere that simply stuns the viewer. The blending is perfect, even taking care of the highlights on the towers and doing photo realistic blurring of the foreground." Suggested by *Dhuaine Featured by ^WilderWein77	Hellboy by ~raede"is superior comic art all-around." With bold colors and dynamic linework, this piece delivers action and fun with great skill! Suggested by ~thincage Featured by ^ArtisticAunJuli	Always Waiting by *MPhilipPhotography is one of those portraits that will stay with you for a long time. The success of an emotional portrait is defined by how well it gets the message across and I think that with this particular one you can actually feel the heartbreak. To quote the artist.... everyone has a love story... Featured by ^Katerina423
Mechameleon Front View by =iFeelNoSorrow is a very detailed model which I feel like I could reach out and touch. Suggested by *tonare Featured by ^joannastar	When I was suggested HEARTS : Wonderful Night by =pinkx2 I turned to mush because of how adorable it is! The colors used work so well for such an adorable piece, like the guy in the back's hair makes me thing of sherbet. Of course the huge ice cream cone help with this feeling. There is just so much to love about this piece! Suggested by ~Eppur Featured by ^Damaged927	Suggester wrote: "Beauty of Nature IIII by =dexter13-sk is like viewing a diamond in the rough of the forest, the lighting plays with the water drop perfectly." Suggested by `feetpeet Featured by ^dandelgrosso
FUR BRUSHES - PHOTOSHOP CS3 by ~KeepWaiting is an excellent set of brushes for creating realistic fur. Suggested by =Docali Featured by ^LawrenceDeDark	Kashmir's Dream by =ThePatchwork I always try to find the best images that haven't been seen or noticed by the photography community here on DA, photographers whose work is outstanding yet somehow aren't noticed. Let me introduce ya all to one heck of a great shooter, and this photograph represents his gallery very nicely! When I first saw this, I thought to myself "what the......10 fav's and 3 comments...why on earth!......." and yet here I am giving it a DD, and I honestly feel this shot deserves the recognition it will get. I find this utterly beautiful, it has such a serenity, a tranquility about it, that one could practically meditate on the photo to become more relaxed. I can almost literally feel the atmosphere in this....this conveys so much and captures nature at it's very best and does a HECK of a job at doing so! Featured by ^kkart	"This shot has an extraordinary creativity!" The Stars Will Eat This Up by =bigcitydreams Suggested by `karemelancholia Featured by ^FaMz
Capitulo by =lambchild Suggested by =meronine Featured by ^azarath	Rusting Pipes by *Kaeltyk shows us great texture through low quality rendering, some thing that I think is an awesome idea! Sometimes it's not always about the texture that you put into the image, but the texture the program creates when it renders the image. Along with the great colors and fantastic composition, the texture makes this a fantastic Xenodream piece! Suggested by =monochromatic-stains Featured by ^Platinus	Silhouette of a Small Murder by ~pootpuzo A wonderful design that wraps the body beautifully... The longer one looks, the more there is to see. And just the right pop of color. Featured by ^Battledress
Ever now and then little sparks of brilliance are born within #Flashers. SpiroDraw by =GirlFlash is one of many that grew from a basic concept into an interactive bag of fun. Featured by ^Age2003	'Martial Arts' is just one of the many wonders hosted in =ahkahna's gallery. Bright, cleverly composed, with a beautiful design and a nice blend of relaxing and calmed feelings with the pure action spirit of martial arts. Suggested by ^Helewidis Featured by ^skifi	There's something about the crayon-drawn looking stitches, the birds-nest hair and the model's crazed expression in Corpse Bride XII by ~lunaticisinmyhead that makes me think of The People Under The Stairs. Insanity at it's best! Featured by ^RockstarVanity
la poire et le moucheron - fin by =edredon shows a very broad range of depth available to a photographer. Angles, light, and objects can transform even the most basic of life's properties. This is a photograph to be lost in, even if it's just a pear. Suggested by `WaitingForTheWorms Featured by ^zerocomplex	The Cheater by *samuel123 is so packed full of detail i lost myself looking at everything on offer (or otter....) Try to spot the hidden otters and enjoy the image as a whole, pesky cheating dog! Featured by $zilla774	Mathematikoi by =arctoa. The suggester wrote, "This abstract composition is really outstanding, because every shadow, every break is visible." Suggested by =EternalFallacy Featured by ^opioid
The construction in Phantasm by ~schellstudio is unique. The structure is humanoid but features like the thinness in the arms differentiates it from being human (not of course taking the face structure and design into account). The detail to the texture like the skin and musculature is incredibly realistic from the glassy look of the eyes to the slight damp look of the skin. Suggested by *EvanCampbell Featured by ^Thebuild	" EZThumbz by ~Tsuto has completely reinvented the way #Thumbshare users chat. For the past 2 days we've done nothing but talk about how this script has made posting thumbs a thousand times easier. " Also suggested by =bigpaganjames. Suggested by =Ljelli3166 Featured by ^PurpelBlur	Bee-Bot - Wallpaper Pack by `manicho is a great 3D based wallpaper! Featured by ^archanN
