how often does the futured artist change.. not often, he's there because he got the most viewed pictures, but since he's there it will stay that way since only he can show so many works.
i would rather see more upcomming art works; beecause i like to see the good works that get created here, and it should be fun for other people as well to be displayed there so give it some more space.

instead of the futured artist, and the top artists.. just combine those in a head-icon display ranking of who got the most views or stars.

also the list of new works should be larger, as well as commented list.. here arise the new works.
another view option might be under X pen strikes or above X pen strikes for those last two lists.
to filter out some of the too simple works (i'm sorry) but some seam to draw like spam.
