whaaaaaa *________* I'm going to have to go through this thread later, right now I'll just post artists I'm pretty sure haven't been listed, although I second (& third & fourth) some of the artists mentioned.

amazes me. the colors are always lovely, the pictures are always lively & yet somehow dark. Super duper work. The kind that makes me squeal.

was just discovered today, but the gallery is amazing. It's anime, but with beautiful colors and amazingly crisp outlines. It has a fantasy quality that just makes me gush.

amazes me. The art is bold, the characters are wonderful. One of the few artists I watch whose work I don't consider "pretty" just damn powerful.

is vert's sister & possibly my favorite artist ever. She manages to get digital media to look like real, thick paint. Her art is bold like her sister's, it's beautiful but not "pretty". I think it's the colors that make her stuff just like POW.
http://nurcum.deviantart.com
inspires me to no end. She's the same age as me, but her style is wonderfully unique, her concepts are well thought out. The colors are great, again, & it's clear that she's trying to improve not just tread water. I can't wait to see her stuff in a few years.
http://nashya.deviantart.com/
is great too. Her work is beautiful; I think I must have missed someone mentioning her, because I have a hard time believing no one has. If you have a spare moment, read her comic Fungus Grotto, the art's great, the story is so far, & overall her work just has an elegance to it.

does lots of minimalist coloring with great expressions. I love her hands & eyes. Plus her reoccurring Klaus character whose gender she won't reveal 8D
there are so many more on my watchlist D: maybe I'll post again, but those are some of my favorites on dA!
