OC WINTER CONTEST WINNERS!Hello everyone! After five months my OC WINTER CONTEST has finally come to a close, with so many great, creative and well thought out entries I was left overwhelmed and in love by the talent and ideas put forward into each and every one of the twenty seven entries.
I knew it wasn’t going to be easy placing them in the first, second and third places for each the visual art and literature categories but hopefully I made the right decisions, I really wish I could award everyone. Whilst some touched my heart, others made me laugh. I hope everyone had fun whilst creating and I thank you for participating in my second OC contest.
To review the contest entries check them out in this gallery folder at #LoreithianChronicles!

I also want to thank everyone, not only those wh

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

Literary Compass - Vol. 3Welcome
If one is looking for Literature, you don't need to go far on deviantART. There is a large community of writers and a plethora of work to peruse. Featuring genres such as fantasy, mystery, horror, and romance, one would be hard-pressed to find an area not covered. However, due to the nature of the site, shorter works tend to get more focus. It's easier to quickly read a poem or a short story, and thus many of the feature articles on dA showcase those works. However, there are many novelists and serial writers among the mix, oftentimes fighting an uphill battle to have their works seen and appreciated.
With that in mind, I have started an article to spotlight some of those artists and their literary-worlds. The works covered in this feature will exclusively be long-form fiction such as novels, trilogies, etc., or fiction serials.

Artists of Loreithia - Vol.1 - PiccolaRia!Welcome to Artists of Loreithia!
Artists of Loreithia is a feature article series featuring artists and artwork from my novel series project Chronicles of Loreithia (otherwise known as Loreithian Chronicles), this article series also doubles as an article series featuring gifts and art for me. As I usually showcase works made for me whether in polls or various journals, I wanted to try and do a more formal series in which I will be publishing once a month whether it would be contest entries, gift art or commissions, anything will be featured as a show of gratitude, of course I cannot feature every single piece an artist creates but you can always find them at #LoreithianChronicles or in this folder. So here it is!

The Big Guide to deviantART ForumsWhat is the Forum?
A deviantART +forum is dA's own coded forum. Yep, a forum/community board that you can find elsewhere on the internet but functions a bit differently from the other forums out there, like the phpbb3 forums for example. Whether you are a new deviant or someone who has been on this site from months to years, the +forum might be new and a daunting place for you. You might have heard rumors of users being torn alive!

Or of some enchanted praise of it

.
This guide will hopefully help you providing some core ideas and rules and notes on how to go around using deviantART +forums. This will link to various FAQs on the site, links and articles by other deviants out there and give some tips to get you started on being active on this aspect of the site. It might be too much reading for one sitting, so bookmark/fave it for future references if you wish. While it might look hard to navigate or interact, using forums take some b

Happy New Year + December Daily Features Roundup

by `Endorell-Taelos, Dec 31, 2012, 3:29:56 AM
Journals / Culture / Art Features

First off I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year!

What an amazing year it has been! Best wishes for 2013 everyone!

Every day I feature something that catches my eye. It will stay on my page for 24 hours. To look at previous daily features check them out in this folder. The following was featured this month.

Please note: With my recent joining of the #communityrelations volunteer team, this is not to be confused with Daily Deviations. I do not select them.

If you want to suggest a DD, please refer to FAQ #18: Who selects Daily Deviations and how are they chosen?

Unfortunately December was not a good month for Daily Features due to my computer and internet technical problems, so I will do a recap as well as featuring some artworks of my OC's that was given to me as gifts or as a commission!
