PE DD Week: A DD is not an award, but a feature.
A DD is not an award but an art feature.
There. I said it. A DD is not a prestigious award that will change your life drastically, it's just a 24h feature.
But why is it so important to make this distinction?
It's just a way of naming something and therefore should not be of great importance, yet it makes all the difference in how people perceive a DD.

On the importance of terminology
As mentioned in the intro, the biggest problem when it comes to Daily Deviations arises with the choice of words used to describe what a Daily Deviaton is. When you call it an award, people will automatically assume that the Daily Deviation is the cream of the crop of every deviation posted ever on this site and that no art featured after it should be able to be perceived as "worse". However, when you call it a feature, most people are fine with the picked deviations and don't even hold them to the high standards of living up and

Spotlight Features - Vol 2A new series that will feature art selected by me. There will be a wide range of themes and genres covered. In addition, there will be periodic interviews and artist spotlights. This article will be also be the home of my upcoming "Awesome dA Artist" feature, which is a re-birth/re-imagining of my "Awesome Emoticonist" award.
Daily Features
On my profile page, I feature a new deviation every day (or two or three). The piece is usually something that caught my eye. Could be an amazing digital painting, a fun stamp, a quick photograph that made me smile, perhaps a piece for a weekly theme, whatever. However, it moved me enough to share it with my visitors. Below is a list of the artists which I featured during January 2011. I am showcasing different pieces from their gallery in the hope of showing them a bit more love. If you would like to see the original piece I featured of each of these artists, please visit

Friday night Street Specials v11.4

Need Input for Message Center RevampIn the deviantWATCH, we would like to switch to Feeds vs. Messages you have to "X" away one by one.
Now, I could use a wide net of input for message center revamp, but really I'd like to start with a narrow view of just deviantWATCH.
The deviantWATCH lives within Messages, which contains within it Feedback, Notices, etc. as well. deviantWATCH messages come in like crazy in your message center once you are watching 20+ people. And of the folks reading my Journal, I know you guys tend to have over 100+ people that you +WATCH.
Help me understand something. Because if we go off and make changes, we're going to have a riot on our hands. And no one needs that kind of sadness in their lives:
Why can't we switch to feeds?

Feeds would effectively index YOUR deviantWATCH in to deviantART's search engine, so your deviantWATCH Deviations would have all of the filters and capabilities of the home page. Categories, Newest, Most Popular 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month, etc. BUT a

1000 Words and Knite Shipping and Tracking InfoHey guys, it has come to my attention that a lot of people still have not received their 1000 Words book orders, or even some Knite products. There was a huge delay with the book due to printing issues, but all the books should have been mailed out a long time ago which means if you still have not received your order, something might be wrong. The case is especially true for people living in areas affected by Hurricane Sandy. It's possible that some orders are delayed in transit or lost due to the storm. But no need to worry, we will make sure you get your order

4DE (the company that handles all sales of 1000 Words and Knite) have posted an update on what to do if you order has not arrived it. Please read it here http://team4d.deviantart.com/#/d5kv0j0
If you have any other questions about your order, please e-mail sales@4DE.com
Lastly, I hate to say this but please do not ask me about your order information. I am just the artist and do not handle sales and do not have access to your

Imagine FX Magazine Cover and Workshop

Hey Guys, For those who are not familiar with Imagine FX Magazines, they are general aimed at different categories of digital art. I'm happy to have participated in the making of the recent manga issue with many great artist and staff.: ) I worked on the cover and I also provided the magazine with a tutorial and a video walk through of my progress. If you guys are interested or curious in checking it out, please click------>[link]

I bought the issue! My first ever Image fx magazine! Your work inspired me to purchase it because I was so intensely intrigued and curious. I want to know more of your work! I was watching one of the audio videos you were voicing while you were showing us how to do your work and I laughed so much because you were so cute trying to talk and paint at the same time. theres so much content.
