The Top 10 Deviants of 2006 will receive a special gift from me - plz send me either your mailing address or email if you are on the top 10 deviants. Following that are the subcategories - I hope you all enjoy them as much as I do!
you guys seriously rock.THE TOP TEN DEVIANTS WERE CHOSEN BY ME - I base my choices on how they have influenced the genre of art they create - how they are involved in dA events and how they encouraged me and others around them. I ask everyone to join me in giving these ten wonderful people the credit they deserve.
!PLZ NOTE - I have not included any winners from last year on this list - just to be fair - but please know that you guys are always tops in my book!
1.
*boxedphotosA beautiful model and a super talent with photography - this lady is in the top spot for many many reasons. She has a way of making everyone smile. She made me feel confident and happy with myself when all I wanted to do was crawl under a rock. She's a friendly, lovable soul and I think dA would just not be the same without her.
2.
`cosmosueAnyone not familiar with this lady's beautiful gallery are really missing out. She has influenced my artwork heavily with her beautiful fantasy images. Her artwork is just pure magic - and her modesty is a refreshing change. No ego whatsoever, always in good spirits - she is an absolute pleasure to have on my watchlist.
3.
=asianrabbitMy new favorite all-around photographer - his gallery really does speak for itself. He is humble, sweet and very inspiring to me with his fantastic array of portraits. From Vespas to beautiful women - he brings out the best in everyone. A must-have on any photography lovers' watchlist!
4.
~omernosVector art has always been something I've admired and loved. Still not able to do it myself (I will get it someday lol) this guy is the reason I love it so much. Super fresh designs - totally unique in every possible way. His artwork makes me smile - and on a personal note - his personality and sense of humor makes me smile too
5.
^zilla774Ahhhh the almighty desktop wallpaper God
Yes he's an admin. I am aware of how irritated some folks get when I feature well known deviants - but I must say that without this man's encouragement and kindness - I would not still be on dA at all. He puts everything into perspective - he's intelligent, lovable and a really wonderful devpal to have .6.
=HeadzIf I had to name my favorite horror & macabre artist - he would be tops on the list without fail. I have always been captivated by his artwork - it's depth and realistic eerie textures make his art a spooky pleasure to keep an eye on
If you don't recognize his name - go check out his gallery (if you dare MWAHAHAHA 
!7.
=crossbraceA relatively new friend to dA - this man is one of the most encouraging souls I have met on this site. His 3D scenes are unique and captivating. His comments to my own artwork were helpful and kind - he has a good heart. Hard to find these days
If you are interested in 3D artwork - be sure to visit his gallery. His movie lovers' den scene is my absolute favorite 3D artwork ever. Amazing stuff !8.
*zeptaeThis guy needs no introduction lol
! his big beautiful women portraits are so damn impressive - and they were the encouragement that originally inspired me to step into the front of the camera lense instead of hovering behind it I am forever grateful to David for making Dee and I feel like we've known him forever - and I thank his models for being so bloody inspiring. If you don't have him on your watchlist - and you love fetish/artistic nude photography - go check him out and stick him on your watchlist. Trust me - you won't be dissapointed 9.
*tExTuReMaTtIcA sweet soul and a generous heart - this man is a perfect example of why the community on dA is so amazingly wonderful. He is a fabulous texture resource artist and an all around awesome person to know. After seeing the tireless effort he put into his recent fundraiser - I couldn't think of anyone more deserving of this spot on my list
10.
*Aegis-StrifeDirect influence on my artwork - he has a style that impresses everyone in this little community of ours. He has received actual dd's, a handful of ODDs and a ton of well deserved praise for his fantasy/surreal digital art. A true visionary of his genre - he is a wonderful person to know and to admire.
Honorable mention sent out to ~PsychoticChibiiUsa, =Gracies-Stock and
for being such supportive, wonderful friends! I have a little something for you guys too ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Horribly intrusive watermarks are tacky. If you're concerned about people stealing your photos, don't post them on the internet.
Photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event. (HCB)
I'm happy and proud to see people from my gallery on that list.
Keep up the awesome job. Some pimpage to you on the way
