For the week of October 17, 2015, we take a look at the works of art created by Renderosity members posting in the 2D Graphics gallery .

The 2D Graphics gallery (called simply "2D" on the Renderosity site) has to be one of the most interesting and professional of any gallery I've presented this year. Meisiekind, the 2D Graphics forum moderator, defines what constitutes 2D: "2D" refers to items that have width and height but no depth. This includes any still image made on paper, canvas or computer screen. It excludes sculpture, metal, woodcarving and other three-dimensional forms of artistry. We are most interested in those items you've created using pen, pencil, charcoal, pastels, or paint, whether those tools are physical or digital.

This definition perfectly fits the kinds of 2D digital art you find in this gallery. Everything from full born illustrations to line drawings to doctored photographs and everything in between. I love this gallery and found several artists I hope to feature at the renderositymagazine.com site.

I've chosen 12 artists to represent the range photographs that members have shared in the Holiday gallery. Click on their gallery links to discover more of their works. And check out the short video at the bottom of this article which features all of the artists listed here. Remember, it's only a small sampling of the very interesting images being shared by Renderosity members in this gallery!
