who will be featured in June and 
who will be in my May Feature that opens a week early. With so many wonderful artists here on deviantART it is really difficult to stand out some times. I know that features are one really great way to share work of other people with other people.
It is really difficult to make these choices some times. However, we really do have to face the music and step up to the plate when it comes to such and really make those choices. I have had a difficult time this week because I have been working on my monthly artist feature which will be coming out a week early and lasting till the end of May. The next month will host another feature and will start on the first from there on out.
I really got to know many amazing artists when I asked people to submit to becoming my monthly feature. I have selected two of them the first will be featured this month while the next will be taking up the next month. After that, I may sometimes hold contests, host poll votes to get ideas as to whom I should feature or sometimes simply feature an artist who truly is an inspiration to myself.
Sadly out of so many wonderful artists who submitted to the monthly feature, I may only select twelve a year. That really is a lot of pressure! I have decided to pose the runner ups in third place and on in a little mini feature in Mini Feature Sunday Journal.
I have also selected a couple of other amazing artists who did not submit to my monthly feature announcement on the forums in this mini feature.
So let's get down to the features now yes?
Is a wonderful artist. She has a very diverse gallery that I believe anyone would be able to find at least one thing that they really enjoy from it. Here are a few that I personally like from different categories in her gallery.Pixel Lovins
Digital Paintings
Drawings
Has a rather Unique Style and definitely deserves a full mini feature. His style is very original and his gallery is seriously worth a look through! So why not head over to his gallery and take a trip through his amazing imagination.:thumb297404900: :thumb297227973: :thumb297227752:
Is another eclectic artist which provides us with many different styles to look through. I would definitely suggest heading to his gallery to really take a few moments to look at the different styles of artwork he has to offer the community here at deviantART. 
Is a pretty darn good writer. This artist made a great point to me that sadly written art is not nearly featured as often as it should be here on deviantART. I really wish I could have placed them into my monthly but with only twelve spaces I really had to go with the artists who truly moved me. Either way, head down and check out AmayaElls' gallery.Red DustPainted by the red dust
We shoulder the weight
Scoured by the red winds
We carry the future
Connected to our origins
But never to return
We answer to Earth's people
Yet this planet is our own
Can we carry our own future
And cease being used?
Can we gain our independence
Without fighting a whole world?
Painted by the red dust
We shoulder the weight
Scoured by the red winds
We carry the future

Angels and demons have been in a war for thousands of years, waged in the skies above a neutral human kingdom. Few remember what started the war, but it continues through racial hatred and continued wartime atrocities committed by both parties. Demons and angels both seek the favour of the lesser human beings in order to gain a small strategic edge, but time and time again wise kings, or wise advisors have turned them down, maintaining an uneasy equality in their kingdoms.
Yethzer is a member of the Demonguard, an order of demons equal to great generals when not protecting their king in battle. One day, on a routine training reconnaissance mission he and his young flock are attacked by a group vastly different from any they have encountered before. They are attacked by a flock of demons supported by an angel choir, an impossibility due to the strong inherited hatred in every single member of both races. Yethzer alone escapes and takes his story to the humans, s
See These ShacklesI put my head in my hands, how did I end up here of all places. The place where I would be the least welcome, the place where everyone hated me for what I was. They didn't care who I was, or how I came to be there, or even that I was there quite legally. I looked up into the eyes of the officer above me, gasping for breath. He was looking through my papers, trying to find a fault that was not there. He would find it too, anyway to punish me for being different. They wouldn't send me back though, back to where I came from. If I was sent back there I could go where ever I wished again, as long as I avoided this hellhole. I put my head down again, not looking at him. Finally he stopped reading and whacked me over the back of the head.
"What's this here?"
I looked at the print he was pointing to, "The expiry date, six days from now."
"Exactly this will expire while you are here."
"I was expecting to get it renewed."
"It takes months for approval to go through here."
"I had not expected to
So I am not sure how to feature a group itself, so I will feature a journal from a group while telling you that you should check out the group itself. I love this group I am a new member to it but I hae seen that the true love for Manipulations held in this group leans toward this group being a great place for artists of ALL skill levels to make friends, learn from others, and who knows maybe even teach some of what they know to us!?!
Anyways, go on over read this journal and then check out the group #ManipLovers

Thank you to all the amazing artists out there on deviantART. Without you all I would not have much of a chance to really explore my art work the way that I have been recently. So thank you again! Also if you are interested in being featured for one of my features please feel free to note me. Thank you!
