We have a new Community Volunteer for the dA Related, and it's ^ladygagz (me)! You're welcome to send as many DD Suggestions to me, but please read my DD Suggestion Guidelines beforehand (it's basically the first thing you see on my page).
I'd like to thank $namenotrequired for being an awesome volunteer for dA Related, and wish him good luck with Community Projects.

A big welcome to the other Commun

Hey guys!
I updated my DD Suggestion Guidelines last week to reflect what I look for in Daily Deviations. Please be aware they are not rules or guidelines - they're just my preferences.

Please read the question I've left at the bottom of the article, I'd love your feedback on the topic.
Have a great week!

Hey deviants,
I'm back from my short holiday, so I'll be going through all the DD Suggestions I received and replying to other notes I received. If you have any suggestions for the dA Related gallery, don't be afraid to note me.

I'll approach all suggestions with a clear mind.

Have a great week!

Hey deviants,
I was quite slack in terms of DDs this week, but don't worry we have a full week next week! I will be revising my Daily Deviation Suggestion Guidelines this week. In terms of the rules, they won't change - but I will be including some of my personal preferences, as some deviants wanted to know what Volunteers are actually looking for in terms of accepting suggestions (

Hey deviants,
We had an awesome time at the chat event yesterday! So many people participated; you should take this opportunity to look at some fabulous muro drawings on #fella's page! We got everyone to draw what Fella's house would look like.

A full recap will be posted some time during the week.

Have a great week!

I'd like to take a moment to issue a very important "THANK YOU" to YOU! The deviantART Community. On the heels of our 12th Birthday, I've looked back at the projects that my team have undertaken and realized that in the last year, especially, the deviantART community has stepped up and helped to make projects like #projecteducate and #ArtHistoryProject successful. Without your contributions, interest, faves, feedback and participation, projects like these would go no where. I'm looking forward to more community interaction and participation projects and am always open to your feedback regarding projects or endeavors you'd li

Seniority Announcement - June 2012

This article marks the latest announcements detailing the latest additions to the dizzy height of Senior members in our community. With just over 900 deviants holding the highly saught after ` -- it's clearly a moment that deserves recognition.
:faq29:
So what does it take to become a Senior? That's a question many have asked and have never really been able to get a straight answer on. Some have gained Seniority as a thank you for their time spent as a Volunteer, or to recognise their contribution to a particular project or collaborative action. Some have gained Seniority because of their community spirit, providing help and assistance to many other deviants and taking time out to promote the work of others in the community.
Some people have received Seniority because of their artistic endevours, having a positive influence on their peers by sharing resources, providing constructive criticism and by being a voice t

Happy Birthday Moonbeam13!Hello all
Today marks a very special day for someone, and since this someone is our wonderful team leader, $Moonbeam13, we wanted to write a journal to say...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIE!
Now a lot of you know Danie as the big chief of the Community Relations team, but I doubt half of you truly know how much of a hard worker Danie is. Not only does she have to look after us lively lot (and by “lot” have you seen how big the CV team is?!), but she works on copious behind the scenes projects on deviantART, making this place just a little bit more devious and better for all us Artists out there in the big dA community. Not only this, but she has to have a life at the same time!
Now we have decided to use Danie’s birthday for three things:
1. To wish her a very happy birthday (of course)
2.

1. New Submission Process and Thumbnail Examples
In my opinion, one of the greatest advantages to the New Submission Process, are the thumbnail examples and descriptions that appear when you're selecting a category. It's no secret that we have misplaced deviations throughout the galleries and it's probably the most complained about topic I deal with on a daily basis. My team and I have been working hard to improve the descriptions and thumbnail examples for all of the galleries, and I'm happy

all mediums for the contest sounds only fair

depends though on the theme

Thanks you very much!!

=SingingFlames Jul 29, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

Great, as always! As for a dA Related contest, I would prefer all mediums since I'm a writer (and my drawn art is just ... bad ...

). Thanks for sharing!

`GillianIvy Jul 29, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

Contest with all mediums sounds good to me, would have to see what the contest entailled though. But I think the more entries, the merrier! Thanks for the double feature!!!!
