The Beauty lies in the Eye of the Beholder
That's what I heard a couple of times here in the comments. Maybe some have missunderstood the concept of this project. This isn't about personal tastes and preferences, it's about facts.
Scroll down and go on reading to learn about the criterias! Maybe I cannot judge alone who is a great artist and who is not. That's the reason why I need your suggestions. Thanks to the deviants who have suggested already!
NOTE: This list doesn't claim to be complete. I tried to be impartial as far as this is possible and I also reviewed suggestions of other deviants but after all the list reflects my personal opinion.

TOP Artists Directory, a continuing project to provide a database of tope deviantART artists. Not all categories are completed yet. I will release other parts of the list step by step. So please watch out for updates.
How to be added
The project has its home base on *
TOP-ArtistsDirectory. I will regularly update the list with new artists and myabe also new categories. You may suggest other artists or yourself to be added to this list. Please send me a note to *
TOP-ArtistsDirectory with your suggestion. I will review any suggested artist and will decide after the following standards:
Criteria for being a TOP Artist
- top skills
- top execution
- top render quality
- professional settings
- fancy, inventive and imaginative concepts, themes and characters
- original and unique style and technique
What I not consider to be TOP Art
- copied characters invented by someone else
- paintings based on traced photos
- coloring of other peoples works
- plain popularity
You think you are qualified...
but you are are not listed? This can have the following reasons:
- You have only a few pieces in your gallery
- You are not very long a member of DeviantART
- I am just in a different personal opinion
- I don't know your gallery
You may suggest other artists or yourself to be added to the list at any time. Send your complaints to my notes and I will reply to you with my honest opinion.

Tired and lonely. Sitting and staring
Weak and filthy. No longer caring
Wasting to nothing. The rubble of you
Hoping for something. Poison where love grew
