Thank you for the nomination, Katamaheen! I feel honoured to be selected by you among all the beautiful art here. 
Speaking of that, I want to return the favour and nominate some artists myself:
I nominate @The_Nguyen_Nguyen for the funny, creative and adorable artwork “Having a chat with the fish” 
Next up is @NovaAstralis with her work “Becoming the Lake”. It makes great use of a limited colour palette, uses a unique graphical style and an interesting pose of the main character. You can really feel this druid or sorcerer holds power over the waters. 
My third nomination is “Inspired from Alice in wonderland” by @Cheshire. This artist already shows amazing skill, even though she only learned to paint with Krita recently. While her username makes a cameo in the flat colour scribbles of the background, the eyes are drawn to two beautiful girls in the foreground painted in semi-realistic manga style. Bold colours, a nice shadowing style and gentle lineart round of the picture. 
“Torii and Geisha” is an artwork of a colourful and symmetric style that you don’t see every day. Its creator, @Syntetyc not only shows the drawing process on video, but also has created and uploaded his own brushpack here.
While @ynr_nohara is not exactly new here (check this huge sketchbook!), the artist is making great progress lately, experimenting and training a lot while carefully evaluating the results so we can learn as well. 
What I notice in “Lucy Cyberpunk Egderunner Fanart” is a step forward in the 3d effect, values and skin rendering while also featuring a powerful rainbow colour scheme which does not look easy to pull of.
Good Luck to everyone!
