This week I received messages from two different people (through Etsy and Storenvy) offering to make a review of my work. They splattered huge statics, like having millions of instagram followers, popularity, or having done it before and making people famous. Of course, their generosity was conditioned by me agreeing to send them some of my work for free. While I don't object the concept of reviewing someone's work, I worry that this has become a popular way of scamming artisan crafters to give away their work for free with promises of e ]]> http://chat-noir.deviantart.com/journal/Polymer-Clay-What-is-it-and-who-is-using-it-214156867 http://chat-noir.deviantart.com/journal/Polymer-Clay-What-is-it-and-who-is-using-it-214156867 Tue, 02 Oct 2007 20:28:28 PDT Polymer Clay: What is it? and who is using it? nonadult journals/art/artisan chat-noir http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/c/h/chat-noir.png?2 Copyright 2007-2013 *chat-noir

But for this to work, two things need to happen.  
1) The character needs personality.  
2) The readers need to be able to visualize the character as they read.
The first is achieved through characterization, while the second is traditionally thought to be achieved through physical description.

Hello and welcome to my little html tutorial. I've been working with html codes for a couple of years and I'm going to teach you what I know about using some basic html on deviantART. This won't make you a html expert or something and I'm not an expert myself but it will give just enough knowledge to make your journals, comments, news articles and other neat and lovely looking. :)

deviantART actually has FAQs about html but I still wanted to do this because they look a bit unorganized, in my opinion.

It most likely does not need to be said, but deviantART is a global art community. Inclusive of people from all geographic locations that this complex series of tubes known as the Internet can reach and filled with people from all walks of life from those locations. deviantART is populated by artistic styles that span the map from the traditional painter to the manga artist, poet, graphic designer and beyond.
