Seniority Announcements - January 2013

This article marks the latest additions to the dizzy height of Senior members in our community. With just over 1000 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 that stands out above the many other

Here's looking at you, 2012Around August, I thought about my end of the year journal.
I was worried that I would have nothing interesting to write about. That there was no way I could ever live up to 2011. After all, in 2011, I graduated college, started working full-time at the best job ever, and took a two-week trip to Europe.
But then, late August hit. And, as you'll see, I knew that this would, indeed, be an interesting year.
Let's start from the top!
February: After my roommate told me she was moving out, I was a bit frantic to find a new roommate to replace her. I interviewed a few different people, and found one girl I thought would be a good fit. We came down to signing the papers, when she got cold feet and left me with no other leads and a looming rent due date. I decided to talk to the landlord, who gave me a pretty good deal on another apartment she owned, and moved into my own 1 bedroom apartment. It's been great for me and while the move was stressful, it ended up being for the best.
In Febr

Manga/Anime Gallery Suggestion: Fanart Subcategoryby `Nyiana-Sama

Manga/Anime Gallery Suggestion: Fanart Subcategory

What is it?

A way to help reduce the number of miscatgorized deviations in the Manga/Anime gallery. A lot of fanart is submitted into the M/A gallery under the assumption that is where it belongs. Any drawings of a copyrighted character, or any drawings of copyrighted creations or universes belong in the fanart gallery.

Where will the drawings end up if fanart is selected?

The proposed change would place them in the Fanart > Manga & Anime > Miscellaneous gallery. This would be in order to keep the submission process as simple as possible, and would not need to create multiple new gallery branches.

Does this apply to Anime/Manga > Digital Art as well?

Yes. It would be the same situation for the digital art, only the fanart pictures would go to the Fanart > Manga & Anime > Digital Art > Miscellaneous gallery.

I like this idea, but how would I support it?

One way to support this proposed idea would be to favorite it, and to help spread the word about it. Another way would be to leave a comment here suggesting that this change, or one similar to it be made. Leaving a comment in that thread is the best way to go about having a change made.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

*Yenni-Vu Nov 20, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

do actually OCs made by friends also belong to the fanart gallery?
i think only drawings of copyrighted characters by professional mangaka or characters of anime, manga, games, etc. are real fanarts...

`Nyiana-Sama Nov 28, 2012

Technically yes, but just about no one ever does it. Drawing a fanart of a character means that you're drawing a character that isn't your own. So they are "technically" supposed to go there, but just about none of them do.

*Yenni-Vu Nov 28, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

ah, i see!^^
but this would be too complicated cause many user still put their sailor moon fanarts (as an example) into the manga/anime gallery.

`Nyiana-Sama Nov 29, 2012

Yes, that's why I proposed this idea, it would help ease the amount of fanart that gets into manga/anime, I've also been trying to get the gallery descriptions updated, they're old, out of date, and too vague.

Maybe one day changes will happen.
