Enjoy!

CR Photomanip UpdatesHappy New Year!
Happy New Year from #CRPhotomanipulation! I hope the coming year brings each of you peace, prosperity, and CREATIVITY!
We have lots of stuff coming up in the coming year. We're trying to organize some photomanip workshops in the coming weeks, and we are also hoping to have some more creativity challenges.
And, of course, our official photomanip contest will start on January 15th.

We are still looking for prize donors and groups who might want to partner with us.
Project Newbie
As you've probably noticed, I haven't had much time to do anything with Project Newbie. When you have a lot going on, sometimes you have to prioritize, and that sort-of fell to the bottom of my many priorities.

But, I've been talking with *Gaias-Whispers, who has some cool ideas for getting the project off the ground. I hope that together we can make some progress on it.

dA love for everyone! #59

As the title suggests, this news article's goal is to spread the dA love into everyone's heart! You will find here a little bit of everything, from awesome interviews with talented artists, art features, group promotion to random deviants' features. I hope you will find this informative and entertaining!
Interviewed artist: *TwistedSynapses :iconTwistedSynapses:
Tell us what defines you as a person.
The scattered pieces of some grand vision and the motley, disorganized beginnings of profound opinions.
How did you found out about deviantART and why did you join the community?
I've always been ravenous in my appetite for the art of others. I can't remember exactly when, but it was only a m

Favorites, Comments, and Artistic GrowthFavorites!
No use in denying it; we all love receiving them on our work!

In fact, they can be a real source of butthurt in our community if we do not get them. But what do they really mean?
The bottom line? Maybe they don't mean much.
deviantART has given us these nifty little statistics like page views and

's so we can gauge others' level of appreciation for our work. I've learned through watching and learning, conducting polls, and talking with people that a lot of people feel pressured or bribed into giving favorites, which tells me that favorites really do not have meaning except perhaps to judge one's influence in the community. So, why are we (myself included) sad when we do not receive as many as we once did in spite of a lot of care put into technical improvements?
I think that favorites have become a source of bitterness in the community. Let's be real; I have seen some really, really bad pieces of wor

I am Sta.sh'ing and I know it!


First time I design a journal with Sta.sh's fullest capability, with this breakthrough feature: drag and drop pictures from favorites into the journal's body...

No need to copy thumb codes over!!

I have tons of collections but for now, here are some of them. Enjoy and thank you to my watchers for all their support! :iconcheerplz:

'Where are the photomanip DDs?' and other FAQsEDIT: Closed replies because I don't see the point in arguing further.
Hi gang,
Wanted to address a couple of concerns that have come my way recently and maybe provide some answers so that we all can work together to make a positive change in this community.
There haven't been a lot of photomanip DDs posted lately. That's not because I don't want to post them or am punishing people-- trust me, I wish I could post a good, strong DD every day. I do not do so because most of the suggestions I get do not meet my specifications.
What are my DD specifications?
Before you suggest, you should read my DD guidelines.In case you need a reminder, here is a short, short version:
A deviant can only have 1 DD every 6 months. There are absolutely no exceptions to this rule.All stock must be legitimate. You cannot just find a random picture via Googl

Top Photomanip Collabs from 2012Hellu, deviantART!

Hello everyone! It's that time of year when the air becomes colder and snowflakes begin to fall from the heavens, the landscape becomes covered by a blanket of white.. (depending on where you are in the world that is. :'D ) So, do you know what that calls for?! That's right an OC Winter/Yule/Christmas Contest! (I decided to launch the contest eight days ahead of schedule since the positive results on my recent polls asked for them.)

FINAL NEWS

Improved DMCA Reporting System

Hello, deviants! In an effort to keep the community informed and to provide the best possible experience for our members, we wanted to inform you of changes to our reporting system.
DeviantART is dedicated to protecting our artists, and in an effort to be able to more quickly handle complaints by deviants who have had their rights infringed on, we have changed the way we receive complaints from the artist or the copyright holder.
In the past, we took reports by the copyright holder in two different ways: An informal report via the Report Violation tool and a formal complaint via contacting the Help Desk. While both of these methods were effective, they presented many setbacks.

The informal report did not gather all the necessary information for a formal copyright complaint and was prone to misuse by well-meaning deviants who would attempt to report images they did not own the copyright to

New Watchers and Old FriendsI want to welcome some of my new watchers and greet my old friends here. A little 'Thank you' for all your support! I did not have so much time for dA, because I'm the driver of the family right now and the exam time of university have begun. So be not mad if I'm very time a bit late

10Can you remember what you were doing 10 years ago today? Most likely not -- I can't remember what I was doing 10 years ago yesterday

However, 10 years ago today, I signed up for deviantART, and the rest as they say, is history.
I thought about writing a super reflective journal, but it would be too difficult to encompass all the things I wanted to say in one journal, therefore I'll simply say THANK YOU to everyone who has been part of a decade of deviousness with me, and here's to many more.

Devious Accents `05Have you ever wondered what goes on in the artistic endeavors of a Senior? What makes them tick?
"Devious Accents" is a feature/interview series of Senior Members here on deviantART that aims to surface key features of each Senior and to show them to the community as a whole, brought to you by #dAseniors--the official group for Senior Members on deviantART!
Finally, thoughts and sentiments from the Senior-side are revealed to the general community. Let's get started!

Joining us this week will be `TimberClipse,
a young director of photography and Deviousness Award recipient of May 2012!
`Milotic1406: Why did you decide to make the leap and become a deviant?
`TimberClipse: I was originally introduced to deviantART by one of my friends right after turning thirteen. It was a fantastic decision and one that I truly believe has shaped the years following for me to grow and develop not only as a dev
