Stolen from the lovely [link] VaguelyFamiliar

Rules

1 - I will add the first 13 people to comment on this journal to the Promotional List.
2 - For each of those 14 people, I will put their avatar (don't know how to do that) and three deviations I like from their gallery on the list.
3 - If I feature you, you'll have to do the same in your journal, putting me in first place, completing the list with 14 people in this way.

The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!

Note: I am not cool enough to have a subscription, so no thumbails, but I will post links.

1) [link] VaguelyFamiliar:
An expressive artist with a wide variety of work. From stunningly lifelike portraits to real life costuming, this gallery has it all. (I'm really quite terrible at this.)

[link] Desert Vagabond Trinity - Jude: With amazing movement, this piece not only grabs you with it's pose but the emotional mix of sorrow and apathy in the characters eyes is enough to catch anyones attention.

[link] A Dream of Ashes: Stunning. Simply stunning. This portrait captivates viewers with it's delicate and flowing composition, but again it is the emotional eyes that keep drawing you back. The artist has suggested adding a background, but I think the dreamlike, gray fog behind her suits the write up too perfectly to change.

[link] Mira Costume - Front: Fantastic costume and a gritty setting make for an awesome cosplay piece. To think the whole thing was done for around $15 is just mind blowing. I wish I could pull my costumes together for so little. <3
