Shoutboard Deviant April 2010

^{The feature, based on the Deviousness award given monthly by DeviantART, will feature a different deviant every month in my both my Shoutboard and in a custom box on my front page, as well as in a monthly article.}

esstera

Having stumbled across esstera’s gallery a while back I was shocked by the level of skill in her work. The painterly feel and the combination of many elements in her work is truly spectacular. The dreaminess and versatility of her work creates a range of different atmosphere and emotions. Her gallery also includes a small collection of promising Photoshop brushes that will hopefully one day turn into a full stock gallery.

As well as being a talented and skilled photomanipulator, esstera  is truly a community deviant with her aims being to get involved in the community (she is a moderator of TwistedFairyTales as well as contributing to many other clubs) and to appreciate art, which she does extensively. All her journals are taken up by staggeringly long features each with a different theme. The care that is taken to select each piece is indicative of an artistic eye and kindly personality.

I have also had a personal experience where I had not submitted anything for a while and she left a comment saying that she missed seeing my new works. Taking the time to encourage other artists is a gift we should all strive for.
