I haven't done a countdown in a while now and I had a hard time pondering what should the theme be since I didn't want to do a fandom countdown since I'll have one in December anyway. But then it hit me, why not do a style countdown and not a fandom since deviantart is full of different mediums. I may do a digital or a craft countdown in the future.

The way this countdown works is if the picture was categorized as traditional art, it would be accepted as an entry as long as it hasn't been in other countdowns I have done. So scraps do not count. Okay here goes.

From the devious folder
11) ravenoath's Perfume
perfume by ravenoath
I love perfume. I have a huge collection of them varying from sweet to sultry. But what I like the bottles too, the abstract ones. This picture captures the essence a perfume gives to me. I can smell a perfume store whenever I see this picture and I want this perfume whatever it is. Thats why I put it on my list. 


From the TV and Movies Folder
10) :devgigei: The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead by Gigei
I never seen the Walking Dead. Nor do I plan on ever seeing it since I'm not really a zombie person. I was only intresred in Michonne becuase of BAMF girls features her and she is my favorite that they parody. That being said, this picture changes everything about the Walking Dead, making what is scary, cute. Plants vs Zombies is an adorable game just by the trailers, since I never played it. I also like the "There is a Zombie in Our Lawn" song. Also the techinque is very complex, so it deserves a spot here.

From the Hunger Games Folder...
9) FloksyLocksy's Finnick Odair
Finick Odair by FloksyLocksy
I love Finnick and I really can't find very much good fanart of him. Most of the Finnick fanart came prior to the movie and the movie version is so hot. I came across this picture which was as close as I could find besides a realism sketch (which I found a lot) and its so awesome. I like the cartoonish look to make it more original than a general realism sketch. Its very unique.

From the Naruto Folder...
8) :dev
Julie-Destron:'s Orochimaru
Orochimaru by Julie-Destron
I am one of very few Orochimaru fangirls. That being said, this user is a huge Orochimaru fangirl that a good chunk is mostly Orochimaru. This piece in particular is my favorite. It emphasizes his sexuality and personality in the form of his favorite animal, the snake. As simplistic and as old as this peice is, I really like it. 

From the TGWTG Folder...
7) PhilWiesner's PushingUpRoses Scorpion'd
Pushing Up Roses - Scorpion'd by PhilWiesner
PushingUpRoses is an amazing female reviewer, in fact currently my favorite female reviewer with JO retiring soon and no other TGWTG ladies really posting anything other than Hagan and sometimes Lupa. That being said, wouldn't it be awesome if PUR was a warrior? The artist in this picture lets the imagination run wild with that idea and makes PUR more badass then she really is. I like the realistic yet anime style, really makes the picture pop.

 From the Sailor Moon Folder...
6) JennyJinja's Neptune
<da:thumb id="438034070"/>
With Sailor Moon Crystal that just came out not to long ago, the Sailor Moon fanart has been blasting out fan art like there is no tommorow. So it was really hard to come to one solid picture to repersent the Sailor Moon folder without the entire countdown devoted to Sailor Moon. Since Cycle 2 of Cosplay Top Model, I had to join the Sailor Neptune club to prommote the voting since Michelle was in that cycle. Then I got this picture in my inbox. Michelle's personality is quiet and polite as well as strong willed the picture captures the personality well as well as having an intresting techinque.

Also from the Sailor Moon Folder...
5) :devcampantinaaa:'s Year of the Bunny

Mature Content

Year of the Bunny by Campanitaaa

I usually don't consider Rini or Mini Moon sexy, due to the fact that she is a child and is stuck in that form for centuries. Though there are times we see her as an adult both in the manga and the 90s anime. This picture has a great pencil technique and really expresses the sexuality that I would never expect from this charcter and really deserves a slot on this list.

From the Pokemon folder...
4) :dev
Pitchblackespresso:'s Wingull's Letter
Wingull's Letter by PitchBlackEspresso
Besides the Snorlax, another favorite pokemon of mine is the Wingull. Also my favorite pokemon games are the adventure team ones rather than the ones where you are the trainer and have to go to trainer to trainer to battle. In the adventure team games, the Wingull and the Peliper deliever mail and I always found that adorable. The artist captures the Wingull's cuteness and makes the style her own by giving it a more complex setting rather than the simple pokemon style.

From the Buffy folder....
3) Smileyrunner's Spike 
Spike by Smileyrunner
Who dosen't love Spike? He's powerful. He's sexy. He is funny. He looks good in a leather jacket. Did I mention that he is sexy? There was a lot of good drawings of Spike though most of the ones that were sexy were those realistic screenshot pictures, which I really didn't want. This one seems more unique and its very alluring.


From the Video Game Folder...
2) WarBrown's Dig Dug
Dig Dug by WarBrown
One of my favorite nostalgic video games is Dig Dug just becuase it is very simple in game play and makes very little sense story wise. So let me get this straight, Dug is a spaceman who is under groundsand those cheep-cheep things and the dragons are demons and the only way Dug can defeat them is threw the power of the mighty gas pump? Genius. I wanted to find some good Dig Dug art and this one picture was the first thing I saw and I instantly fell in love with it. It united me with my childhood and I love the techinuque used. Can we just listen to the Dig Dug theme before we get to the number one slot? K thanks.



And from the Purdy Things folder....

Aprilj0313:’s Triton and Mermaid

Mature Content

Triton and Mermaid by invokeartsense

I love fairies and mermaids. They are just so pretty and majestic. I also like folklores of mermaids and fairies. This picture tells a story about a mermaid and her love for a merman. Its worth a thousand words and is very beautiful.
