It's been quite a while, so I thought now was a good time to do this again. :la:

One 3-month subscription, one 1-month subscription, and 200 points are ripe for the picking. :)

If you wish to enter, simply fave this journal. I will use a random number generator to choose the winners from the fave list.

The three winners will be randomly generated later this week (Saturday or Sunday).

:bulletred: If you have a subscription already (or even if you don't) and wish to have it given to someone else as a gift, you are free to say so
:bulletblue: It's a subscription only (no point-equivalents).
:bulletgreen: Feel free to leave a random comment; they're fun to read. :XD:





Good luck! :shamrock:





Devious Inspiration

Tue Apr 9, 2013, 5:08 PM


Greetings, everyone. Long time, no see. :XD:

I have been thinking of starting a new feature series, and I would like to base it on who or what inspires you on dA. If you'd like to participate, it's a simple process. All you'd have to do is note me with a deviation thumbnail or a deviant's username along with a comment about why the work/the person inspires you. It can be any kind of inspiration, not just art-related. If it's a few deviations or deviants, that's fine. You don't have to limit yourself to just one. I will make news articles that feature the works/deviants, as well as your comments. If you would like to be anonymous, please feel free to state so.

I look forward to hearing from you. :happybounce:


Kiriban - 400k

Mon Apr 1, 2013, 11:29 PM


It's been quite a while since the last one. :XD: But I figured the time is ripe to do another. And, since I haven't been on too much lately, I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to announce it early.

If you're not sure what a kiriban is, it's a numerical goal someone wishes to meet, and there's generally a prize involved if another person is able to catch it. In this case, I'm willing to offer either a three month sub (or its equivalent of 636 points, your choice), as well as a feature.

If you stumble across it, just take a screen shot, upload it somewhere, and drop a link in a note. :la:



Thank you for your continuous support. :hug:

Come Back for MeAbandoned here,
No where to go.

Was it me?
Something I did?
Something I said?

If it is,
I am sorry.

I did not mean to,
I did not know!

Please,
Come back.

Do not just abandon me,
Do not just leave me here!

I did not mean it,
I am sorry!

Do you not believe me?

Is that what it is?

I am here all alone,
No where to go,
No one to turn to.

Have I not learned my lesson yet?

You will come back for me,
Will you not?

If it was my fault,
I truly am sorry.
Sarah's Journal - 8A/N – Remember the link for the meaning of flowers? Here it is again. Just because. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_of_flowers

Aware of the fact of the occurrence of the End of School dance, and knowing that Sarah's friends knew that it was happening, Jareth made it a point of being not visibly around the Castle Beyond the Goblin City from Friday the 15th through Monday the 18th. Just because he enjoyed letting Hoggle worry.

I'm sooooo glad that I listened to Karen, and got the shorter heels instead of the really tall ones (that looked great!!). My feet aren't really sore today. I mean, a little bit, yeah, but
Megatronus        I would have to say it felt good to have my sworn enemy, Optimus Prime under my foot. I was going to KILL him finally, helpless under my foot as I leered down at him, so HELPLESS. I finally won after all these vorns, the last Prime under MY foot, and at MY mercy. "Why is the blood of Unicron erupting from beneath here?" Optimus asked from beneath my foot, weakly, pitifully.

       "A question Optimus, that you will take to your grave." I sneered at him. I rose my blade up and was about to strike the weak Prime down, but then I saw a ground bridge open, and then WAM. I was knocked away from Optimus. I looked at my attacker, and it wa
Starry NightIt was a starry night
when I chose your eyes
from all fixed stars to be the ones
to illuminate my night skies

It was a starry night, we
sat on the rooftop and I
didn´t want to touch you because then
I wouldn´t be able to let you go anymore

It was a starry night, the stars
were dancing through the galaxies and
wrote our names on the ink-black sky

It was a starry night when you could
hear the voice of the universe
and we recognized our own insignificance-
when we sat there in infinite power,
risen above the city lights

It was a starry night when I was afraid
that the next moment anyone would

  • Mood: dA Love
It has to be said. :heart: I really appreciate all of your support. :hug:

Every comment, every fave, every watch is taken to heart (even though it takes forever to respond ^^;)

You're all awesome. :love: Whether you're a new watcher or one that's been around for a while, thanks for sticking around.
Update: accumulated points now equal 430. Someone should be able to receive something soon. If you know of an awesome deviant that deserves a surprise, feel free to drop a comment.


- - - - -


I've been feeling inspired to do a "giving" project lately (especially after `JoseFelipeM's success), but it was taking a while to think of one. Then it hit today. Plenty of deviants have awesome items on their wishlists (devWear, prints, etc.). Why not help a bunch of people check one item off their lists?

There is no set goal for the amount of points desired to do this (since every item costs a different amount). Even if only a few people are helped, that's something. :love: But if we can help 30+, that would be even better. The donation pool is set to 50k, but that's a very tentative amount. We could easily go past it.

So, if you would like to help, spreading the word at this point would be best, just to get off the ground a bit. :) There is no time limit for this project; there's no deadline for the point accumulation. Deviants will be helped along the way. A list of who received what will be compiled here.

Suggestions for the recipients will be considered in the near future.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Thank you for reading. :heart:

Frankenstorm

Sat Oct 27, 2012, 7:06 PM


Yeah...so over the past week I've heard people talking about this storm (one that may end up a combination of Hurricane Sandy and a storm front) that is creeping up the east coast of the US. The panic seemed to set in for everyone today. Work today was an absolute nightmare. The store was so busy. By mid afternoon we had no flashlights, D batteries, battery powered radios, bottled water, or generators. We were supposed to receive an emergency truck today with some extra freight, but it has yet to show. I just hope it turns up over night.

So, those of you that live in the northeast corridor, try to be careful. :hug: It may not be bad as they're forecasting it to be, but you never know.

A Burst of Color (Photomanip Contest)

Sat Oct 20, 2012, 12:18 AM


A photo manip contest

:star: Starts October 20, 2012

Ends January 20, 2013 (tentative)


Sometimes the world is "drab and gray," but it's that one spark of color that brings life back to it.


This contest aims to do just that. Create a scene that, for the most part, lacks life essence, but has one part that has that flare.

Example:




:bulletwhite: 1 entry per deviant
:bulletblue: The entry must be a new piece (submitted after 10-20)
:bulletwhite: All stock must be valid and directly linked (no search engines or art used without permission) - if you use your own, please state so
:bulletblue: Please link to this journal in your artist comments
:bulletwhite: Send entries via note



:+fav: Entries may be found here --> [link]

63 premium subs

Tue Oct 16, 2012, 9:36 PM


This is a quick blurb about `JoseFelipeM's project to receive 63,000 points before Christmas. The points will go toward 100 3-month subs for random deviants. If you have a few points lying around and you're feeling generous, this is a great cause to support. :) There is a donation pool right on his profile.

Even just spreading the word would be awesome. :heart:

Commission Information

Due to financial struggle, commissions are now OPEN.

(requests are still being worked on in the background)



:star: Photo manipulations only

Transactions will be done through PayPal/credit card (I will send you my email address via note)

I would like half of the cost up front. Once the work is completed, you will receive a small, low resolution copy of the piece. Upon receiving the rest of the payment, I will send you a larger, high resolution PNG.

All works will be watermarked (to protect not only my work, but the stock providers as well) and uploaded to my gallery (if you want it to remain private, please state so).

If you'd like, I can mail you an 8x10 print of the work (add $6 to the base price). If you'd like a different size, contact for price adjustment. This is currently being offered only in the US.

For the time being, these will be personal commissions only (nothing will be available for commercial use)



Prices (set to "promotional" prices for a limited time):

:bulletred: Simple landscape (using two or three photographed elements): ($13) $10




:bulletorange: Simple landscape with model (no nudity)/animal: ($18) $15




:bulletyellow: Complex landscape: ($18) $15




:bulletgreen: Complex landscape with model (no nudity)/animal: ($23) $18




:bulletblue: Eye manipulation: ($10) $7






:star: Please send a note with full detail (as much as you can give!) regarding what you are interested in. :) I am constantly on a computer, so you would receive a fast response. If you have personal elements you'd like me to use, please provide them along with the details.
