Whether you are a new deviant or someone who has been on this site from months to years, the :devforum: might be new and a daunting place for you. You might have heard rumors of users being torn alive! :noes: Or of some enchanted praise of it :O_o:.

Welcome to the 11th in the series of The F Word.

Welcome to the 8th in the series of The F Word. Recently I asked my watchers in a poll about their one favourite work by an artist in deviantART, with a reason as to why they chose it, even if it wasn't mandatory. I also have a few more wonderful works to feature as well along with some other information around dA including contests!
Enjoy :heart:

The free, web-based software, still in beta, allows Thorne to create a five-minute video in about two weeks, cutting his work time nearly in half."

Welcome to the second in the series of interviews I have been meaning to do interviewing artists in deviantART. While most of the interviews will be more digital art centric, but they will deviate to other art styles as well [hopefully]! Don't forget to visit the awesome deviants' galleries while you get to know them or their thoughts! :meow:

:iconballoonplz: So it is my honour to have an interview with the one and only :devsakimichan:! :la:
