DevianTART: Lets get bready to crumble!
DeviantArt has been acquired again for a cool amount of dough and is being rebranded to DevianTART, home of the world’s largest online bakery and baking community. The acquisition was a long time coming, as bakers (formerly called deviants) have always had a passion for sharing their confectionery creations with the world! Top Off Your Treats As part of the rebranding efforts, bakers (formerly called deviants) are encouraged to put a delectable topping on bakes (formerly called deviations) that they love! When you find a bake (formerly called…you know what? You get the gist.) you think is good enough to eat, decorate it with Whipped Cream so it will look pristine in the bakery display. There’s enough Whipped Cream to last every baker until 11:59 PM Pacific Time on April 5th, so be sure to practice and perfect your piping by then! If you give 50 bakes or comments a Whipped Cream topping, you’ll receive a Baker’s Delight decoration for your bakery! The Great DevianTART

Suggest a Daily Challenge! by team, journal
Suggest a Daily Challenge!
Daily Challenges launched in September, giving artists an art prompt each day to fuel artistic ideas and build good creative habits. Over 200 challenges and hundreds of thousands of creations later, now’s your chance to suggest ideas for future challenges! How to Suggest a Daily Challenge Share a tag in the comments that you think should be a daily challenge! If your suggestion gets added to the calendar, a DeviantArt team member will let you know! You can also browse the comments and give a like or badge to suggestions you love! Tips for Challenge Ideas Come up with a challenge open to most genres.

Celebrating Deviousness - April 2024
The Deviousness Award is given to one deviant each month in recognition of their exemplary contributions to DeviantArt and its community and has been a long-standing tradition since DeviantArt’s early years. @TheFulkrum is the recipient of April 2024’s Deviousness Award, so please join us in congratulating him! @TheFulkrum has been an integral part of the DeviantArt community for over 15 years, focusing on the connections between artists and bringing people together over care and shared interests. From countless art features to running and participating in a wide array of groups, he’s put over a decade of effort into helping artists create, improve, and shine, and his efforts show in how highly other deviants speak of him. It is an honor to recognize @TheFulkrum as the recipient of the Deviousness Award for April 2024! Hello! My initials are AG. As a young boy, all that mattered were my bedroom walls and the radio.

[Kukuri FoD] - Best Decorater Wins [2086 Words]
The Carnival of Life was a huge success. Aquatics have now mingled within the other species and the rebirth of Life was on the way. The kukuris need to make sure they have everything cleaned up and ready for the festival. The king of the ocean, to which he likes to call himself, decided to make his way up to see what was going on. As he was walking, he looked around and saw the kukuris placing up decorations of flowers and banners while others were helping to clean up the coliseum. It was a mess as expected if Life got herself involved with the battle. The pearl aquatic was debating whether to help or not. It wasn’t really in his nature to be ‘nice’ to all the ‘commoners’ he’s accounted for. He was about to turn around and leave when he noticed someone familiar within the crowd. “Maxima is here?” He ruffled his long fur then decided to walk towards the raven aquatic. Once he was beside her he cleared his throat a little. “Maxima, fancy seeing you here” The busy atmosphere of the
