Art, Infinity Seven, zemotion, and ESports

Please go here for the official press release from DA! http://hq.deviantart.com/blog/44700501/

So as you can read (or guess from the title of the article), an E-Sports team named Infinity Seven has signed with SteelSeries and Deviantart, which for some of you less artistically inclined type is one of the biggest art-sharing communities in the world. Infinity Seven has the (pretty big) privilege of having zemotion as a manager (known as isJinn over there). Most people would say it's the other way around, but c'mon.

zemotion is a pretty big deal.

ZombieGrub, what are you talking about? zemotion isn't MVP, silly. Too true! But zemotion is almost the MVP of the art world. You can see her gallery here: http://zemotion.deviantart.com/

Pretty awesome stuff right?

And you know that awesome picture of Huk and Idra? Yeah, that was her. How about that Day9 sexy photo of him looking so nice in his suit? Her. She's a pretty good photographer, see, and her photography is so good anyone who spends about thirty minutes on DA will know her. Just like anyone who spends thirty minutes looking up SC2 E-Sports will know who MVP is.

So why is this so important I feel the need to a) write about it and b) compliment her like I'm about to go lesbian? A well-known photographer in the art world, who is a young woman, is taking the initiative to manage her own team and promote the world of E-Sports. For anyone out there who's an artist whose dream in life is to work at Blizzard (or any other gaming company, it really doesn't matter!), the combination of an icon from the art world joining forces with the greatness that is E-Sports is, well. Pretty great.

P.S: For that matter, I'd like to take the time to shout-out not only to zemotion, a woman artist pummeling her way through the male-dominated world of E-Sports, but also to any other woman or awesome artist who loves E-Sports. Art & E-Sports make me so happy.

* Zombie Legend is a casting team that is available for paid and non-paid casting positions. It consists of a girl who's mediocre at SC2 and a man who's pretty bad at SC2, but happens to be really good at talking. They both share something in common though: they love Starcraft 2.
