Some months back I submitted a News feature on the prospect of a DA art book news.deviantart.com/article/34…

Whilst we are waiting for further feedback from the DA admin on this issue (I have been led to believe that we will hear something through the course of this year) I was inspired to submit a 'Tribute' to some of the really great art I have seen here on DA.

The saying goes "You can't judge a book by its cover"
One of the interpretations being - you can't judge a person by external features alone.
In line with that thought - you can't judge an artist by one piece alone either.

Here are some "covers" - so to speak - of some wonderful art from different categories. Not only are they great works, but they are also portholes into some truly wonderful galleries.
...but why don't I let you be the judge of that...

I hope you enjoy some of them as much as I did.
