Getting Critique Without a Premium MembershipI have run two premium membership giveaways in the past few months and my rules are always the same: Fave the article about the contest, you must not have a current membership, and you must give me a reason as to why you want the membership. In each contest the most common reason has been wanting to receive critique. This somewhat baffles me, because it's so easy to receive critique without the fancy platform. You don't need that to get critique, and trust me, it doesn't guarantee you're going to get it. I have a ton of my pieces critique enabled and I'm lucky to get one good critique every couple months. But despite that it is still the most common reason I hear when it comes to wanting a membership. So I've decided to put together a little guide as to other ways to get critiques to help people get the feedback they want to see.

I need to distinguish them... you know.

PE DD Week: Why did an icon get a DD?Why did an icon get a DD?
Daily deviations tend to be a controversial topic within the community and whether or not a DD is worthy of the feature is, as such, often discussed.
As a CV for Icons & Handhelds I often find it interesting to read these discussions, since that way I can see what the community expects of the features, but the recent negativity on the Icons & Handhelds DDs is something I would like to address, which is why I'm thankful I'm given this opportunity during the Daily Deviation PE-week. I will try to explain why I think icons and handhelds are worthy of the feature and why they may be dismissed just a bit too quickly.

Let's begin at the beginning.
When deviantART first started, it was a site that mainly geared towards customization. Be it wallpapers or icons, if you take a look at some of the first DDs. So how come there'

Site Update: New Writer Look and HTML ChangesIn our continuous effort to improve the deviantART experience, we're publishing Site Updates to keep members informed and to gather feedback. Below is a list of recent changes to the site, bug fixes, and feedback that was brought up by members in the last Site Update.
What's New
New Sta.sh Writer Look
Sta.sh Writer has a brand new look! In the original design, the look that you were presented with did not match the published version of the Journal. The new look is more consistent and also includes the title field in the default skin allowing you to title your Journal as you write it. Previously, you had to title your Journal after you were done writing it.

HTML Improvements (Beta Testers Only)
Journal writers who use HTML have asked for more control over their layout and the abi

100 points giveawayCONGRATS, =Fauwnii! The winner of the raffle!

Sorry for giving the results so late, I wanted to hold the raffle in Livestream so the results were believable.
THANKS EVERYBODY FOR ENTERING!
I'll hold another one soon enough, I hope 8D
--------------------------------------
Just 3 more weeks of suffer--- studying, and I'll be able to resume the commissions! I would right now but most of you might have noticed how I'm in a style crisis, and I don't want my stupidity to show on commissions.
And I also found myself procrastinating by randomly giving points to lovely people. I don't need points right now, and I'll give away the few I have slooowly. Stay tuned for next giveaways~
To participate, +fav the journal. Yeah, that's it. If you want to comment, well, that's really nice of you ;u;
This is not only for my watchers, hohoho. but if you want to take a look at my doodles, I'd be honor

Touhou Crossover Fanart Competition!UPDATE OF UPDATE! submission is closed! There might be activity for people that have contacted me so don't worry about that

For judging I will need to contact everyone and there will be some behind the scenes stuff... (seriously how are we supposed to judge everyone's amazing efforts, this is overdrive) I am not giving a date when the winners are announced. But I will follow the timeline mentioned before.
A question about edits- minor edits are allowed. For example changing of levels/channels or if you forgot to colour one bit. Big changes means that regardless of the time you entered I will move your entry to the late folder. I've capped all the submissions!
Thank you very much! Hosting this contest, I'm really happy i did it!

Daily Literature Deviations for June 18th, 2012
Guidelines | How to Suggest a DLD | Grou

PE: Digital Art VS other categoriesThe category system within deviantArt has the purpose to organize the thousands of artworks submitted every day and group them together in accordance to style, media, genre and/or theme, etc. Imagine deviantArt without categories, it would be a chaos! Imagine yourself wanting to browse for photography only; without the system organizing every deviation by media, you would find yourself unable to filter artworks that aren't photography in your search results.
Thus the importance of categorizing your artwork correctly. By submitting your work to the appropiate category combined with a correct use of keywords, you're a step ahead of being discovered by people wanting to search for art like yours.
All this sounds so nice and all, but what happens when a particular piece could fit in several categories? The category system as it is now is very specialized and has literally thousands of different subcategories buried down tons of more subcategories, which is both a blessing and a curse. Havi

Manga/Anime Spotlight: izka197Manga/Anime Spotlight: =izka197
Manga/Anime Spotlight is a weekly feature that highlights the different artists across the deviantART's Manga/Anime community, and is a portal to get to know a bit more about them and their works.
This week's feature is =izka197

1.) To start off, what is your favorite medium and tools to use?
My current favorite medium to work with is digital art. I use Photoshop CS4 and SAI, I don't use a tablet, only a mouse. I still love traditional art, but I use it less than years ago. But I do sketch every single piece of mine, before I scan them and finish on computer, so I still work with traditionals

2.) When you draw, do you plan everything out first, or do you just see where the drawing takes you?
Usually I plan everything, but of course often it comes out totally different than planned. But also sometimes I do just sketch and sketch a lot and then see what the drawing brings me

POCKY DAY FEATURES

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 10, 2012, 9:57 AM

Greetings all friends, watchers, and random passer-bys!
Today on November 11th (11/11), there is a little random event going on in Japan in which we call it "Pocky's Day".

Q: What's a Pocky's Day?
The company that produces the snack Pocky has set 11/11 as "Pocky's Day" just to celebrate with randomness.
Conspiracy of snack companies, I know lol

You can check out their website, and see how much derp they have done so far!
[link]

I'm just joining the bandwagon to celebrate this random event for fun and have some excuses to eat pockys lol

Anyways!
As I have posted on my poll few days ago, I'm going to keep my words and hold "POCKY DAY FEATURES"
Anyone is welcome to join - all you gotta do is submit a deviation that's related to Pocky, and give me the link to it (you can just leave it as a comment on this journal or note me.). Then I'll be more than happy to feature it for you on my journal!
