Hello everyone, and welcome to the fourth Muro for *Membership contest! Here you have the chance to win one of two one month premium memberships by making a Muro drawing either in the journal comments or by linking one that's based off of two or more provided themes each month. What makes this contest unique? That no matter what your skill level is as an artist, as long as you meet the minimum requirements of each months contest, you are eligible to randomly win a premium membership. After the end of each contest's submission period, each qualifying deviant will receive a number starting at one and go up as high as it needs to, and after each person gets a number they are entered into a random number generator and the middle and last numbers that represent the people will win a one month premium membership.
Please check out this journal if yo

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

March DD suggester of the Month: EindraaHello everyone! Please drop by ^PolyMune's page and give her all your support and maybe consider commissioning her to help her get through this tough situation!
I know, I'm late again OTL, life's taken my lemons and is spraying its acid in my eyes very slowly

I mentioned that my computer had died on me, so a friend of mine helped me get it fixed but in the process we accidentally got rid of my drawings folder... So all of my artworks, my psd files, my sketches, everything I had drawn from 2006 vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye... :icontouchedplz: So long and farewell, piece of my heart... We're going to try to restore what was lost but there are no guarantees of success

So yeah, I'm not in the best mood right now. Also, I must return to my lab duties by Monday and I was supposed to do a lot of writing for my thesis but couldn't get none done because of these issues and me getting sick didn't help either. So I'm stressed as hell. Ugh.
Please I b

Project Educate: Interview with ^kingmanchengPassionate animator, dedicated Community Volunteer: today, we'll be looking into the thoughts of ^kingmancheng!
Please tell us a little bit about yourself.
I graduated from university with a BA honour in illustration and animation, having worked at a different university for a few years, I am now a fulltime freelance illustrator and animator.
When did you start animating?
When I was a young teen I reckon! During that time of my life gif animations really took off all over the Internet and so many young animators at that age got ahold of free gif animation compilers, so although I can't give an exact age, I was pretty young at the time!

When/how did you discover deviantART?
When I was about 15/16 years old, one of my friends from school did graphics design work in his own time and uploaded it here. He w

Traditional Tuesdays #52OMG OMFG OMFG! This is week fifty-two of this little article, and I can honestly say that I didn't think it would last this long. The night I started this feature, I was bored and just browsing around the Traditional Gallery. I was finding all kinds great artwork, that for one reason or another I couldn't/wouldn't give a DD. It could be because they had a DD recently, but mainly it was for a link to go back and see what they created next, and if they took it to the next level. Now it's more for artwork that I no longer have time to DD, I can't DD everything! I still find the article fun to do, and I'll keep doing it until it no longer is. So.... here is fifteen works of art that I thought you should see. I can't trust all of you all with anymore awesomeness, you might hurt yourself! Anyway, on with the show!
**WARNING:Viewing these works of art may cause giddiness, elevated heart rates, and happiness in the pants(which could

Feature for Angelo Sotira's Birthday!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.

I hope you all enjoy this.

Journals / Culture / Contests

Hey everyone! Its been a long journey over the past few days, and let me tell you, I watched my message center explode with messages.... absolutely explode, but in a good way.

There were 720 eligible deviants in this giveaway, talk about insane!

Sadly, of the 720, only five were able to be picked as winners, I wish that I could have offered more prizes, but I'm not made of money, and this is a stretch on my budget.

This deviation lists all 720 numbers randomized, and the ones colored in blue, and written on the side are the winning numbers. Going in numerical order, the winners are the following;

With the number 90, ~KiwaTec is the first winner! Congrats!

With the number 289, ~Lyrimn is the second winner! Congrats!

With the number 356, ~Kaess-desu is the third winner! Congrats!

With the number 485, *yuuh-chan is the fourth winner! Congrats!

and finally;

With the number 628, ~eyeburn is the fifth and final winner! Congrats!

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!!!

Thanks to a donation from =Mathness there are now two more winners!

So please thank him for the donation!

And now without further delay, here are the two extra winners, brought to you by =Mathness

With the number 160, ~AaMlgIrL is the sixth winner! Congrats!

With the number 555, *FumetsuOkamiRyuu is the seventh and final winner! Congrats!

Please note, even if you aren't one of the winners, there will always be a next time.

If you would be interested, please check out my #Muro-For-Membership group, it holds monthly contests where you can win a one month premium membership every month, so this way, there is always a chance.

Congrats to the winners, and a very warm thank you to everyone who took part. I'll try to hold more of these in the future when my finances are in better shape.
