Here's my guidelines for suggesting DDs to me, if I ever reject your submission please don't be discouraged and keep sending me more! It's impossible to accept all suggestions, specially when I already have enough suggestions for one area. Also don't forget that these are guidelines, not rules.

Do YOU want to sell prints? One mistake you make.Hi people!
Today it is a short journal without photos, sorry.
I would like to give you one important advice, so I hope it can be still useful

I see many people try to sell prints here. And they are often sad they have not sold anything yet.
But at the same time I see they do the same mistake. So:
HOW PEOPLE TRY TO SELL THEIR WORK AS A PRINT?
1. you took a photo (drew a picture). It is nice, so you want to post it as a deviation.
2. you edit it. Making it sharper, more colourful, adding contrast, CHANGING a size to some 850x600px, for example.
3. you post it as a deviation.
4. you look at your deviation and think "hm, it looks pretty cool! Maybe somebody can buy it. I will allow it as a print."
5. you click at "submit as a print" and in "print submission" option you just scroll down and click at "SUBMIT AS A PRINT".
6. now deviation in your gallery has that cool "buy this print" green button and you are excited about somebody buying it.
7. you are disappointed that nobody bought it.

One epic Journey needs your helpI rarely write to promote others efforts in raising money for charity. It's because there are so many out there, that to promote each time I come across one would be ongoing forevermore. However there is one particular cause that I would like to direct your attentions to today.
A friend from my college days is cycling unaided from Lands End to John o' Groats in June of this year. That's basically from the bottom of the UK, to the top. He's doing it for a very special charity based here in the UK called Naomi House. And why? Because in 2008 his newborn niece unfortunately died - but Naomi House were there to make her last few days as comfortable as possible. Naomi House provides respite to sick children with life limiting illnesses - and their families. It keeps a family together until the last possible moment.
I urge you today, not to donate. It would be nice if you can, but that's not entirely why I am writing about this. But I urge you more than anything else to spread the

Asking for PointsEvery now and then, someone I don't know posts a comment on my profile page asking me to give them Points. Very occasionally, the request is of an I'm collecting for a Premium Membership/print/whatever and was wondering if you wouldn't mind donating a few Points to help me reach my goal nature but more often than not, it's just Will you give me Points? or something to that effect. I've actually had one comment saying simply POINTS PLEASE.
To be honest, when it's the first type of request and it isn't just a copy-pasta to a hundred people, I'll consider it. I like to help people have a better dA experience and not everyone can afford to buy a Premium Membership, so if someone asks really nicely for a bit of assistance, I'm usually happy to help if I can. But when it's the second kind of request, it's just rude. Asking strangers to give you things isn't polite, and it's even worse when you can't be bothered to explain why you're asking someone to give you something t

Spirit Day Artisan CraftsToday, October 19th 2012 is Spirit Day! Spirit Day started on 2010 as a homage to the LGBT people that lost their lives or committed suicide due to bullying they suffered, and while the main focus is still on the LGBT community it's now a day to take actions against bullying. No one should have to endure bullying, ever.
$Moonbeam13 wrote an article about Spirit Day and listed some ways you can help, please give it a read!
I looked around and I found some great Artisan Crafts supporting Spirit Day, so here they are! I was really happy to find awesome people that even make crafts and donate the profits to LGBT charities

If anyone knows of any more crafts please let me know so that I can add them to this collection, extra bonus if you upload something about Spirit Day

PE - History of DollingWritten by `IridescentStardust and ~ye-ye
The original idea behind dolls (and why they're called dolls in the first place) comes from the cut-out paper dolls - a paper cut-out of a figure (typically in underwear) with separate clothes that hold onto the figure with folding tabs.
The first popular version of virtual 'paper dolls' was through a Japanese program called KiSS (Kisekae Set System), dating back to 1991. Originally they were the same as paper dolls - only on the computer. A base figure, or template, had different sets of clothes to drag and drop onto the template. Using layers, they were able to create an illusion of depth not possible with paper dolls (for example - a figure with their hands in front of them would have different layers, making it easy to have a sleeve in front of the chest, a bag, arm-warmers, or other accessories).
These vir

PE - Dolling 101 (Or Dolling For Beginners)

Hello, welcome to Dolling 101! We'll be going over all the basics that every beginner doller should know. There's a lot, so let's get to it!
Lesson 1: Terminology/Vocabulary

What is a Doll?

It might help to begin this article by telling you what you're reading about! A doll, or as we call them on DeviantArt, Digital Dolls, are small graphics, usually pixel-art, of people and characters. People create these by taking a base body another person has made, and creating art on it - designing clothes and hair, and turning the blank template into whatever kind of character they can imagine.
I will go over dolls more in detail, but that's the very basic description. Please, read on!

What is a Base?

Bases! You're probably familiar with this term. That's right, those pixel line-arts of bald/naked people that

CEA Blog: Mature ContentHey guys, today I want to talk about Mature Content on deviantART and hopefully clear up some misconceptions that exist around it. For those of you eager to look at some boobs and hot male torsos, I'm afraid I won't be including any here

.
How the mature content filter works
All members over the age of 18 can choose to enable or disable the mature content filter to suit their needs. All members with a registered date of birth under the age of 18 have the mature content filter locked on and can not disable it. All logged out visitors have the mature content filter enabled and can not disable it.
The mature content filter is split in to two types, strict and warning. The strict filter is completely voluntary and prevents any deviant with the mature content filter on from accessing the work. The general or warning filter is the standard mature content tag and will remove the image from immediate view when browsing and place an warning page on the devi

Things You Should SeeBecause they are made of awesomesauce and puppies (or kittens, if you prefer).

Personal Corner:
I started my online courses for medical coding and billing today. I've only completed the orientation bit but so far I am hopeful that this is actually going to work out. I was less than enthusiastic because online courses and me have not always gotten along in the past. But the site is set up in an easy to navigate manner and includes all sorts of great tools. Plus it is a pretty low-stress program. You can retake tests and quizzes until you get the answer right and work at your own pace and it just seems like something made for me.

Well worth the $175 investment. Tomorrow I start the actual coursework. Looking forward to making my brain work again!
Job hunting has continued to be majorly disappointing. So many of these businesses want you to put in online applications, but then they never get back to you

People of Austria I have a mission for you!

Journal Entry: Sat Jun 16, 2012, 9:18 PM

Find me

Awesome icons by ^maytel

I have a Storenvy too!

Stamps

I was just informed earlier today that my work was featured in a newspaper from Austria yesterday, Friday 15th. I WANT THAT NEWSPAPER. I NEED THAT NEWSPAPER. I was told it was a small article but it doesn't matter, it's the first time I'm published so I want to own it

Edit: I don't know which newspaper was it! All I know is that it's from Austria and the date.

So here's what we're going to do. FIND ME THAT NEWSPAPER! Cut the article, put it in an envelope with some cardboard and send it to me. In exchange I will give you a $20 giftcard from for my store, you can pick whatever you want. _{I don't know how expensive the shipping to Mexico is so if it's more expensive than $10 send me the receipts and I will give you more store credit. I want you to receive double the value from me than you spend.}

FLY FLY FLY! FIND ME THAT ARTICLE!
And to everyone else, if you could please fav this article so it gets more attention I would really really really appreciate it

thank you! Also if you spread the word you will get an imaginary MLP cookie, made from 100% pony meat!

In some other news I think I'm finally getting used to this CV thing, so I'm going to start doing artisan craft features and other stuff

And please send me DD suggestions, they're coming in slowly XD I guess not a lot of people know they can send them to me yet.

Everything will be all right in the end. If it's not all right, then it's not the end.

woo-hoo, that's great! It might be hard to find the paper though U_U (so many titles are on market). The person who saw it should give more clues for people to find it
