A bit of catchup + News

Journal Entry: Sat May 18, 2013, 9:45 AM


Hello!

So I had a bit of a backlog of point giving to do that I hadn't had a chance to as college kinda killed my activity towards the end. 

After aFinal Push for VNP a few deviants really helped get the word out, so the following deviants have each received 250 points! :la:

In addition I offered a few points a while back to someone who commented on `Milotic1406's profile. ~hgfdsasdfgh received those points! 

In other news, I am now out of college for the year, and will be headed to the Berkshire International Film Festival fairly soon to work there for two weeks! :la: 

How about you all, what's going on with you?!




Hello Deviants and Fellas!

For the past few months `RockstarVanity has been running #fella and has done an extraordinary job! However, she is trying to pull back a little and has handed leadership of the group over to me. `RockstarVanity will still be a part of the group's posse and help run things within the group. 

For those of you that do not know me, my name is `TimberClipse, or in real life, Zev. I am a student and filmmaker and absolutely love the deviantART community. I currently run a number of groups, but the two main ones that I focus on are #fella and #deviant365 (deviantART's official 365 group). 

We will be ramping up some new events here at #fella shortly including a small contest that will be announced soon, so stay tuned! 

In the mean time, drop by `RockstarVanity's page and give her a huge thank you for all she has done and will continue to do. :huggle: 

My best wishes to you all,



Being Devious - ` for one year - A Feature!

Journal Entry: Tue May 7, 2013, 10:25 AM


I was reminded today (thank you ~Allyntu) that May 1, 2013 marks the anniversary of my deviousness award! 

It seems incredible that it has been a year since that absolutely amazing day, but since then so much has happened both on dA and in my life. 

When I received the award, I was the youngest recipient to have ever received it. Since then, my close friend and amazing deviant, `JoseFelipeM has beaten me! :evileye: 

I would just like to take a moment and thank you all for being absolutely amazing deviants. My time on dA is incredible, and I look forward to a future continuing to be incredibly active here. 

I wish to keep this short and sweet, but, wanted to include some of my favorite deviations from the last year.

Deviants

I would also like to feature two deviants that I have been absolutely stunned by the work of. 

`BenHeine is perhaps one of the most original artists I have had the amazing enjoyment of seeing and talking to. His work is exquisite and beautifully executed. He has actively inspired many deviants and artists across the world, and his work appears in more and more locations. Since having first found him on deviantART, I have seen his worked featured online, in magazines and in more places than many of us dream of. The originality of his pieces brings light to what I wish to strive for as an artist myself.

=Pickley is the second deviant, someone that, this year, I have had the opportunity to not only talk to but work with Aaron. His sta.sh app (featured above) has revolutionized the use of Sta.sh on the iPhone, and his continued work with such apps for deviantART shows his dedication and compassion to so many people. He is wise beyond his years, as at the age of 20 he has completed much more than many people. He is someone that I look up to and his design and coding work is absolutely stunning.

:icontimberclipse:


During week 18, we asked deviants to submit a deviation to a new or lesser-used category! =fluf-studios submitted a fantastic wallpaper, and we are happy to give her the 6 month premium membership! 
TechnoWallpaper by =fluf-studios

Mothers are perhaps very dear to our hearts! And, as Mother's day is at the end of this week, we'd like you to find a deviation for your mother. One that she would like, and tell us why she would like it! 

Now, we know that many families are different and if you would prefer to share a deviation that reminds you of family, then that is alright as well! 

Simply comment with your links! :typerhappy:

Two deviants who share will receive a 6 month premium for themselves and if any members of your family are on deviantART, one of them will receive a 3 month premium membership as well! 

Best of luck to everyone, and Happy Mothers Day! 



In addition, we are looking to our members of way to improve. As a result, this week we have turned on critiques for this post. If you have feedback, write us a critique! We are looking forward to hearing from you!

I mentioned this earlier this year, but I have made a goal for myself to post 10 amazing images a day on my Tumblr every day in order to help with inspiration and find what I really enjoyed in art over the course of the year. I have found some fantastic pieces on deviantART and I wanted to share a few of my favorites with you all.

Hello Deviants!

It has been asked for many times by deviants, but as of today we now have the first ever official deviantART Calendar that is run by a select few at #fella!

There is a lot of information about the calendar for you all, so I am includign a shortened version at the top, and for those of you who would like to know more, there is additional information below.

The calendar is intended for official events by deviantART Inc., its affiliates, and official groups or projects on deviantART. Deviant contests will unfortunately not be included at this time.

You may look at the calendar online here: [link]

All times are in PT (current time in California)

There is also information on how to add it to offline calendars (such as Apple iCal and for iPhones) below.

:bulletblue: Please remember, this calendar is for OFFICIAL deviantART events only. This means events hosted by any groups that are endorsed by deviantART such as (but not limited to) #fella #hq #deviant365 #projecteducate #PremiumMembers #communityrelations etc.

:bulletblue: Groups that are dA gallery related and CV run (#deviantART-Related, as an example) will only be allowed to post contests + chat events. No other events will be permitted (such as weekly blogs, features, etc.)

:bulletblue: The following events are types that can be included: Contests, Chat Events, and Weekly Posts (if including a member contribution).

:bulletblue: In case of rescheduling or extensions, the original date will have MOVED put before it, and the new date will be added. In the event of cancellation CANCELED will be placed before. Nothing will be deleted.

Process of Additions for Other Deviants


Deviants who run official groups may request additions to the calendar. This can be done through submitting the following information to #fella via note.

1. Deadline (MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS)
2. Title (Include Group name with # first)
3. 2-3 Sentence Summary of your choice
4. Link to article

Sharing


The calendar is available for all to view online here: [link]

Adding to iCal and other CalDav Applications
You may subscribe to this link: https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/devfella%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics

We are currently unsure of how to add it to anything but iCal (Calendar.app) on Macs, but I am sure it is doable (if you know how, let us know!).

1. In iCal (also knows as Calendar on MAC OSX 10.8) go to the File Menu
2. Click "New Calendar Subscription..."
3. Paste this URL: https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/devfella%40gmail.com/public/basic.ics
4. Click Subscribe
5. Edit the calendar name (optional)
6. Choose either "On My Mac" or "iCloud" depending how you set up your data
7. Set Auto-Refresh to "Every day"

8. When completed it should look something like this: [link]
9. You will see the events populate your calendar!

FAQs


Q: Can I add my own event
A: As explained above, only official deviantART events may be added to the calendar. 

Q: Why is this off-deviantART
A: Currently there is no system to have a calendar implemented into deviantART, and in order to give the most flexibility to users, it was decided to hold it off-site and leave it accessible for applications and Google Calendar Users.


My Thoughts on Valentines Day - Friendship

Journal Entry: Thu Feb 14, 2013, 7:09 AM


Hello deviants, friends, and family.

After a horrible recent breakup in which I was repeatedly lied to, threatened, and cheated on, my thoughts on Valentines day have changed. I now believe that Valentines day is not a time for those in love to endorse that once again, there is no reason you should have to "re-endorse" such a thing with chocolates or flowers. Instead, it is a time to reach to those around you. Your friends. Your family. Tell them that you love them. Remind them that you are there for them. 

And that is what I wish for you all today. 

To those of you who know me personally, either in real life, or from deviantART, you know I am here for you, and I am so honored to have you all as friends. 

To those of you I know less well, this next year, I want to know you better. Come say hi, drop me a message! I am so happy to be in a community where friendship is only a few clicks away, no matter where you're from or who you are. 

Thank you, to all of my valentines. 

Luv Ya by ~NonexistentWorld


Feature for Angelo Sotira's Birthday!

Journal Entry: Wed Feb 13, 2013, 7:19 AM


Tomorrow, February 14, 2013, is +spyed's birthday for those of you who may not know. Angelo is most likely the most dedicated deviant out there, after all, he keeps this place going. However, he is also a very kind deviant who often asks towards giving to others rather than giving to himself. 

This year, I wanted to feature a few amazing artists I have found as a dedication to Angelo as well as to those artists. Angelo, happy birthday, we appreciate all the work you have done for this amazing community. :heart:

I hope you all enjoy this.

Congratulations to the winners from last week's task!
~CassandraMoon has won a print from their wishlist!




February 2, 2012 is Groundhog Day in the United States. Whether or not you live in the USA, you can still guess on whether or not Punxsutawney will see his shadow!

Comment below with a deviantART muro representation of whether or not Punxsutawney will see his shadow by February 1 at 11:59:59 PM PDT

Three deviants who draw what ends up happening will receive EITHER:
- A devWEAR T-Shirt if Punxsutawney Phil does NOT see his shadow (as he has predicted an early spring)
- A devWEAR Hoodie if Punxsutawney Phil DOES see his shadow (as there will not be an early spring)

Good luck!
