Holiday Art Raffly by ManlyKaz
1 min read
As a little extra for the end of this year, my friend 
has opened up an art raffle to participate and being into lottery, I am quite certainly hoping to catch some interest for him. :3
So then, who wants to participate and maybe give him a watch on his dA, FA and Twitter?

The Raffle can be found here: <da:thumb id="822968909"/>
Edit:
Here an example of his art, so you have an idea of what you could get.

Talking about things
2 min read
About two years ago, I made the journal of me leaving behind a certain group of people on DeviantArt, led by an individual who as I look back on it now... has no deserving of any mercy nor forgiveness I am usually willing to give. And in regards to this, I wanted to share a journal bringing a lot of light to the situation. While I do not condone the practice of naming and shaming, in this regard it is a dire need to create awareness:
![]()
Mature Content
As for other things, I admit to have been silent ever since my grandfather's death last year. Even before to be honest. Life has been a bit exhausting on my end and I have tried to stem my real life a bit with a few smaller issues than the state of DeviantArt. However, I used the time to look back on my story of Fatal Radiance and how to move forward from this point on and how to make something that ultimately is far more personal to me than anything I tried before. I want to deal with more complex concepts and ideas, to explore emotions far more indepth than I did when I was being fed with the MBTI system.
In this regard, I have to thank a lot of people. I may have been very silent for a long time, only watching and not writing, but I love you all. To the deepest of my heart, I regret to have been very inactive. You people are beautiful in heart and mind.

Friends in Need of Support

Alright, despite a lack of recent activity, I am currently seeing that two people I know are struggling with things and could certainly use some aid in their endeavors.
First off, we have :icon-Colonel-Motivation:, who due to some stupid incident needs money to come by. More on that in his journal:
Since Colonel drew most of the commissions I got in my gallery, I want to say that all in all there is certainly a lot of reasons for you to look into it, as I can certainly assure he can do excellent artworks:

Second, I got 
, who similarly has opened up emergency commissions. She is currently on a look for a better job and thus could certainly use some money. Regardless, I canassure for a good work for the prices she offers, so be sure to check her out!
An example of a picture she drew for me was this one here:
For all help that you can provide, I will be grateful.

Be sure to share both journals as well, if you wish to help that way!^^

An Update
1 min read
Okay, I must admit, I have been hardly very active as of late. Things have been rather stressful snd busy and not gotten better ever since the beginning of the year. Recently my grandfather got severely sick and died and just last Saturday I was on his funeral. Things are quite frankly quite bleak as it is a huge change for everyone who was close to him. My grandmother has been hit the worst understandably. And well, furthermore, there are other issues as well, which have drained me of time and energy. Things should normalize, yet I cannot say when that would be. Things have gradually gotten more difficult.

Artist Feature: ThylacoleoCarnifex
3 min read
Ja, Hallo erstmal, ich weiß ja nicht ob ihr es schon wusstet, aber.... yeah, you lot probably don't know that line. Anyway, AudeS here with another wee art feature for an artist I have found recently by chance. And like several of my good friends, he is quite good with traditional art, but like a lot of other friends I also got pretty good with digital too, hence why I want to make a little bit of a showcase for him.
Now, say hello to
! And as a favor, I will pick three images of his gallery to showcase his skill spectrum quite well.
1.
A funny thing about dragons, the variety this term can cover is immense, given how many different mythical beings are called such (and except for liungs, where the name may come from a crocodile). SO, I found this lovely design of his, showing a dragon design that is close enough to the general conception of a dragon to be called such, but with plenty of personalizing details for this character to appear more spirit like, including a lot of incense (which I don't mind, they are stat boosters in SMT games XD) and a staff, which does evoke a bit of a sage-like aura even. I must say, this one is really lovely.
2.
Give this some time to load for the speed to match up. I like this gif for its distorted feel and the eerie theme it has, including binary code in the foreground that perfectly gets distorted to the shape of the skull, giving it a bit of a three-dimensional feel, as if it was a single layer being pushed in by the skull.
3.
Saving this gem up for last. I found that this really showcases his skill the best, given how beautiful this water-covered planet looks in this image, with those clouds of orange in the background, and a tiny ship traveling on an endless ocean. It really does work well with the scope and colors, and really showcases how aw-inspiring sci-fi could be, if we were to see planets more often than space, as in the infinite of space, there are worlds only our imagination could comprehend.
