You submission MUST be neat. That means, if people are having a hard time figuring what it is or if it looks sloppy, it is not neat and is not fit for submitting. If you submit a sloppy piece, it will be rejected but you can resubmit it once you have cleaned it up.

Devious Journal Entry*ahem*...

Update: Fair Exposure and Popular Browse

Fair Exposure and miscategorization
On January 24th, 2012, we released an #hq journal regarding Popular results for Browse. In this journal, we described Fair Exposure -- deviantART's algorithm for Popular browse results. Fair Exposure's goal is to showcase the most popular deviations in a variety of styles, genres, and art forms, without bias towards a particular topic.
Since the release of our Fair Exposure announcement, especially in the last handful of weeks, we've noticed a concerted, dedicated effort made by deviants, or groups of deviants, to specifically beat (or "game") the system. Deviations have been intentionally miscategorized in hopes of having them appear "higher" in Popular results. This has, rightfully so, resulted in complaints from deviants who submit to deviantART in a fair and honest manner.

Apparently I hit a sore spot.The news that I might one day return to the internet apparently isn't going over well.

Can you stop being a whiney attention whore for once in your life, and quit relying on 12-15 year-old kids on a public art site to validate your existence (that's all your DA post was. Don't kid yourself thinking it was meant to be something else)? Your art hasn't gotten any better since your hiatus, and instead of trying to improve it you either sick your fans to give you attention or tell them to attack your mean bullies. Your Brental Floss strips are getting uglier each time you churn one out, and to add insult to injury, you, Brent, and Dan can't tell a joke (People on ED edit your strips to make funnier jokes. Let this sink in your head for a while). Apparently you learned nothing from your "hiatus" after seeing that DA blog, as I'm trying to figure out how each Brental strip keeps getting uglier because that's the only comic you're fo

F.A.N.: Free Artists Network: Diverse Art Education for Creative Students

The Free Artists Network (FAN) is designed to modernize the field of art education, making art lessons more relevant to industry-standard skills and making content easier to access for a broader range of students worldwide. FAN aims to establish an international database of art lessons in various media modalities. These lessons will be contributed by other art educators, industry professionals, and software developers and will offer creative students industry-relevant lessons that meet their own diverse artistic interests, ability levels, and/or special needs.

PE: Interview with `miontre:iconmiontre:
`miontre
Hello `miontre, could you tell us a little bit about yourself?
Hello and Bonjour!

Let me first say that I am terrible at writing about myself!

I'm a hobbyist photographer - at the moment I'm really into Abstract and Surreal, but I like all types of photography. My other artistic interests are editing my photos, photomanipulation, graphic design, typography, web design, and 3D art. Some of those I don't do very often, but I find them all pretty interesting!

The only web design work I've been doing lately has been creating journal skins on deviantART - I've never had the opportunity to put my actual web designs online, and so skins are the best way I can do that at the moment!
How did you first get into creating Journal Skins?
I'd always been interested in creating Journal skins, and I'd known CSS for quite some time before joining dA, but I didn't have the patience to learn how to use

Steins;Gate manga returns in Comic Blade magazineLong time since we've heard news, eh? Nothing yet about the movie, but there's still the manga to look forward to.
The official website for Mag Garden's Monthly Comic Blade magazine has announced that Taishi Tsutsui's (Esprit, Fukashigi Philia) Steins;Gate: Hiyoku Renri no Sweets Honey spinoff manga will return to the magazine in a new manga titled Steins;Gate: Hiyoku Renri no Sweets Honey Final.
The new series will premiere in the magazine's January 2013 issue shipping on November 30.
The tone of the series is slapstick comedy compared to the more serious overtones of the anime, but even the anime had its great funny moments

Case Of Art Thief (C.O.A.T. 04)Greetings everyone,
This person, :iconDuma55555: has stolen art from :iconDarkfinder:, :iconGarih: and :iconMeru-chan:
The stolen arts are
and the originals are

Do care to follow deviantART rules when taking care of the art thief. Make sure that the original artist has been informed of what pieces of art have been stolen from him/her so that he/she may report them himself/herself.
REMEMBER PEOPLE, REPORT WHILE USING THE SILENT NINJA TECHNIQUE. Which means:
- Go on the art thief's page
- Report
- And most of all, DON'T LEAVE A SINGLE MESSAGE TO THE ART THIEF, NOTHING! NADA! NIETE! ZERO! NO INSULT OR BASHING, NOTHING AT ALL!
So if I am to post a journal entry about a case of art thievery, you in return MUST NOT go and bash the art thief (as much as it is tempting.) Otherwise we become a group that encourages harassment and this is not what this group stands for . And

... Because for some reason I thought we were still in January. 2012 Seems to be going by so fast already

--------------------

StupidFox will be at MCM Expo, London: Comic Convention --- MAY 25-27

This will be my first time exhibiting at a convention and it will also be my first time in Europe! ... I have no idea what I'm doing 8D ...

But if it were not for #FreshEpics and =Detail's help in organizing this, I don't think I would have ever considered attending any conventions this year.

[ More information on this when I have more information on this. ]

- The Year of Originality Project

Check out =Mau-Acheron's huge 2012 project, "Year of Originality", where she will draw One original character every day for the entire year! (That's 366 Drawings!) Not only is her style amazing, but she is also supporting Artists and their original creations

For more information and some sample drawings, check out the thumbs below!( Note: I picked the thumbnails at random)

And remember, if you're interested in a particular character drawn, be sure to check out the original artist

2012 -The year of Originality project - JanuaryHappy New Year for everybody! ^^
As this is the first day of the year, I decided, that I will start a big, one year personal project: 2012- The year of Originality

What?
I always love original characters, original stories, admire other artist's creativity and originality, and I always wanted to create some fanart about their stories. As I don't have too much time, near the university, and my other things, and the 2012 is here, I had an idea, that I will do a project. Project, that I can show, how many artists and original stories, characters are here, in DeviantArt. As my english is bad, sorry, but I will try to show and write why am I love them and their works, and maybe you will discover them too

So?
I will upload sketch fanart about artists' original characters day by day in 2012 (If my personal life, or my computer/intertnet not encumber this x"D)
So... as my knowledge are well, it will be 366 sketch about 366 artist's work. xD And the last d
