Thank youHello inspirationalists,
we want to thank you for all your generous donations to our donation pool on my page. So far, we have collected more than 1400 points! That's good, but sadly not yet enough to renew our Super Group status. Well, we'll continue to gather your spare points until we have enough to afford it. Please be as generous as our dear donators, who will now receive a little feature for their help:

Manga/Anime Spotlight: Russian-LullabyManga/Anime Spotlight: =SpiritLullaby
Manga/Anime Spotlight is a weekly feature that highlights the different artists across the deviantART's Manga/Anime community, and is a portal to get to know a bit more about them and their works.
This week's feature is =SpiritLullaby

1.) To start off, what is your favorite medium and tools to use?
My favourite medium of choice is definitely Traditional; Prismacolour Pencil Crayons or Copic Markers (when I can afford them

) are what I use best with the occasional gel pen for highlights and tiny details on clothes as well as stamp ink for shading and background purposes. I don't own a tablet nor do I really have the patience to work with Digital (though there are a few of those lurking about my gallery)

2.) When you draw, do you plan everything out first, or do you just see where the drawing takes you?
Most of the time I just go with where it takes

Emoticonists on dA (11):iconkrissi001:
&nbsp;
I asked in a previous Journal that every Emoticonist should write a comment there.
You can still do it on this Journal if you haven't commented yet.
I sent notes to all of those who commented there and asked them a couple of questions.
And now I am going to feature all of this deviants and their answers

If you saw that I have featured you and i didn't include all of your answers/or any answers, you could write a Journal and include all of your answers there. ;D

What is your first reaction when you find a new Emoticonist?
I'll go "zomg, a brand new emoticonist!" *watches* (Sometimes I might missed some

)
Pick 5 of your most favourite Emoticonists and describe why they are special to you, what makes them stand out from the others?
It's quite hard to decide but I'll

As an owner of cats, this piece tickles me much. The expressions are dead-on.

Master of Elements by ~KinnisonArc is a really impressive emote scene. Each of the elements gives an intense sense of power and the image in the middle just helps the elements flow together. The emotes in each corner fit really well and the expressions help give a sense of individuality to each Master.
2.

The bright colours of the lava in Hanging on for Dear Life by ~PokeartKid really grabbed my attention. The details included in the whole background really help bring the scene to life and give a realistic feel to the situation.

I found ~litecrush and =Indae’s entry to the ‘Opposites’ themed collab event a really interesting twist on the theme. Both sides have been nicely pixelled with a clever link between them to make a single great piece of work.
2.

I just love how ~ROBlNHOOD has managed to animate a range of different water themed items into H2O in one fluent emoticon. Each has a great feel to it and some of the special effects really shine through

Character emotes aren’t always easy to master, but :devsparklyde

Halloween GoodiesHalloween! A day filled with candy and dress-up and lots of ooky spooky fun. Recently, I asked a few of my dA friends to help me gather a collection of spooky themed deviants to celebrate the day. I hope you find something to you like.

Regarding submissions and a new contestHi folks and fellas!
You know, we accept most of your submissions gladly. There are just two things we don't like: bad quality and non-nature subjects. Concerning the latter, I have recently had to decline a few shots because the motives were not pure nature. Please remember that this group is called #Nature-Shots for a reason; we only accept photos of well, nature. Animals, landscapes, forests, etc., you get the idea. This means that we don't want to see humans or man-made subjects in our gallery. Thank you for understanding.
In other news, our dear friend *rainylake is currently holding a contest. The theme is "Friendship". Entries can be of any kind of art (even literature) and they are accepted until May 15th. Check out this journal for all the information and the long list of prizes: http://fav.me/d5wnfvd
See you in spring!

feature: =Nilanja:iconNilanja::iconNilanja::iconNilanja:
Actually this feature is long overdue already, but I simply can't delay it any longer.
This feature is for the multi talented =Nilanja.
Besides wonderful conceptual photographs, drawings and even some artisan crafts she has revealed a new talent: writing.
And that's not all, she decided to combine it with her photography!!!
Now we are being treated to a photo and accompanying story. Both are great pieces on their own already, but together.....

The story is called Ausbruch and can be read in both German and English.
Just click the title or the big thumbnail below.

Still here?
Do you want to see more?
Some more photography?

Or some drawings?

You'd better look at her
