Malaysian manga artist Chong FeiGiap has some stunning work available to see on Deviant Art. The portfolio consists of different sections, so look out for the ‘Schoolgirl’ section which has some incredible background art, as well as the ‘Traditional and Student Period’ section for more realistic work. The background art includes a great piece which has traditional houses stacked on top of one another, seemingly reaching for the heavens. See for yourself…

German painter Charlene ‘Aurora’ Wienhold has some sublime watercolours on her Deviant Art page. I really like the warm tones of pink and yellow she often uses. If you like what you see, check out her Society6 page, where you can buy some of her prints.

Wenqing Yan has an unusual mixture of work; from cute and fun, to despair and abstract, I find a lot of her work really captivating. The most interesting illustrations for me are the surreal works, full of imagination and fantasy. There is an excellent interview on The Daily Californian, if you’d like to find out more about her.

Sidenote: I Googled Wenqing Yan and it was interesting to find an ‘award winning artist’ copying one of her illustrations!

See Wenqing Yan’s Deviant Art page for more. You’re in good company, she’s had over 8 million page views and counting…
