First Underrated Artists Feature of the year so far; I'm making a conscious effort to try to get back into watching out for up and coming artists here these last couple weeks, and I'm a big fan of the art scouting change made recently that allows people to get scouted even if they only have one piece so far. I used to see a lot of folks in that unscouted portal who had three really nice pieces, but I couldn't scout them until they finished a fourth.
I'm hopeful more newcomers will be encouraged to keep posting with all the streamlining changes the site's been making on that front lately, because I'd love to make these posts a monthly thing if I can. There's always so much to see!
And on that note, let's get started!
@gloopyscrabble combines unique color schemes, with some wild anatomy and crazy poses. Their work has a certain offbeat sort of sensibility to it that I really admire.
@SheepHeavenly has a couple different "modes", and I really like them both, but I think there's something extra special about the MS-Paint pieces, maybe because I don't really ever see anyone attempt to do lineless work in it. In any case, I like the way they do eyes too. Very expressive.
(I'm putting three pieces here, because I know the moth girl probably isn't in the top 2, I just wanted to include it because I love her. 10/10 design.)
@anzky's art is just fun. I get so much joy just browsing through their gallery and seeing all these little goobers goofy, stupid faces. Their stuff is oozing with charm.
@mahogare is someone I just discovered a couple days ago, but I instantly fell in love with their cute character designs and expressive faces. I'd love to see them do a few more polished pieces sometime, but there's a lot of charm in what they're already doing too.
@Trisynine is a little bigger than most of the folks I typically feature in these posts, but they have SO much really high quality, really imaginative, nightmarish work, that I decided I needed to feature them anyway. There's so many crazy details and patterns hidden away in their stuff, and those neon palettes only add to that sense of surrealism.
Debated whether or not to include @Astroma on this list, because it's been a while now since they've posted new art, but maybe they just need a little push. (Please give them a follow, caus I wanna see more!) I really like their linework though; it always feels really confident, but has a certain level of looseness to it too. Some really nice character designs.
And I think that's about all I've got this time! Hope you all have a nice Valentine's Day! (or at least treat yourself to a fancy box of chocolates if you're single)

I believe I was scouted at one time but apparently that’s no longer the case. If you want check out some of my drawings.

You look scouted to me!
