So, I've spent some time this weekend browsing dA, commenting, faving, trying to get back in touch with the community (to some degree anyway). Then I come across this: http://kongyong.deviantart.com/art/How-to-make-your-art-into-deviantart-Popular-page-369834458 - a journal about "how to make your art into deviantart popular page"

That means you link me to one of your deviations (preferably a medium I'm comfortable in, photography, vexels, vectors, a tiny bit of digital art in general), and I will critique it as best as I can. Deal?

I'll try and get as many done as possible. Thanks :)

it's my birthday this Sunday (:fear:) and I plan on giving back a little. Coz it's my party and I'll do what I want to! :eager:

I would like to give away one 3month subscription as well as one 1month subscription. Now... there's a few rules.

1. You can not be currently subscribed. (Actually, if you are subscribed today (October 28th), that's alright, as long as you are not subscribed on Sunday - makes sense? In case your sub runs out...)
2. You need to give me a good reason as to why you 'deserve' a sub. What would you do with it? How do you think it would benefit you?

It is important to understand that each color may connote a certain emotion. That, of course, depends on culture as well as people's own experiences.
In Western culture, white suggest weddings and purity, while in China it is the color of mourning. In the West, green is a symbol of fertility and sexuality, while for Muslims it is sacred.

I'm really proud of this group and we've started our very first challenge:

Theme: Beginning & End
Challenge: You may not use any kind of clocks, watches or other types of timers.

You may portray "Beginning" OR "End" OR both in any way you want. Try and be as creative as possible, but most of all have fun! Diptychs are allowed (A diptych is a photograph that uses two different or identical images side by side to form one single artistic statement. The two images can literally be in contact with each other, or separated by a border or frame.).

The idea of this group is to help photographers step out of their comfort zone and try new things. That will be done via weekly themed challenges.

Sounds interesting? You'd like to know more and be challenged?
Come join us and become a member. You may alternatively request to join as a Co-Founder. As such I ask you to be creative, and help us come up with interesting challenges, as well as answer questions from members if you can.

As some of you might know, I used to be involved in the :devdeviantarttimes: - a kind of club that had the sole purpose of providing the community with all kinds of news regarding deviantART and its members via articles.
Then in September my laptop gave up, making it hard for me to really do anything online so I stopped posting articles.
