In January of 05, my wonderful, amazing, lovely, beatiful wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. So far, she's fine and her prognosis is good and her outlook is exceptional.
When someone you love is affected by this terrible disease, you tend to educate yourself about it. One of the facts I've learned since my wife was diagnosed is that one out of every eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
No, this woman isn't my wife. I have no idea who she is. She's just a breast cancer survivor. The other seven women are less important.
Ladies, have you had your mamogram lately? Guys, how about your wives? Mothers? Daughters? Sisters?
This picture is the first of a trilogy.

::claps:: Beautiful job. It's simple, yet explains so much. I never been able to do simple things like that. Glad to hear she is ok, and it's nice of you to be trying to reach others with your artwork.

Very great. I love art that is inspired by emotion and concepts. You have clearly done that here. Very staggering statistic, I'm glad to hear your wife is Ok. Great job on this, this also does good to get a serious subject out to an audience.

Okay so if you haven't noticed V6 was launched late last night/early morning (depending on your time zone) to mixed reviews.
We as admins have had a little more time with it than the rest of the masses and as such I thought I would volunteer my knowledge with whomever is interested. Rather than complain that everything is different perhaps I can help show you how much more user friendly and easier the site is to navigate.
So... if you have a question concerning V6 please ask it. If you know of someone who is having troubles, please link them here. I will be updating this journal with your questions and hopefully answers to said questions.
In painting, white can be crafted by reflecting ambient light from a white pigment, although the ambient light must be white light, or else the white pigment will appear the color of the light. White when mixed with black produces gray. To art students, the use of white can present particular problems, and there is at least one training course specializing in the use of white in art.[citation needed] In watercolor painting, white areas are the absence of paint on the paper. There are also speculations about the use of white and other colors.
[edit] Light A cloud A cloud
Until Newton's work became accepted, most scientists believed that white was the fundamental color of light; and that other colors were formed only by adding something to light. Newton demonstrated this was not true by passing white light through a prism, then through another prism. If the colors were added by the prism, the second prism should have added further colors to the single-colored beam. Since the single-colored beam remained a single color, Newton concluded that the prism merely separated the colors already present in the light. White light is the effect of combining the visible colors of light in equal proportions.
In the science of lighting, there is a continuum of colors of light that can be called "white". One set of colors that deserves this description is the color emitted via the process called incandescence, by a black body at various relatively-high temperatures. For example, the color of a black body at a temperature of 2848 kelvins matches that produced by domestic incandescent light bulbs. It is said that "the color temperature of such a light bulb is 2848 K". The white light used in theatre illumination has a color temperature of about 3200 K. Daylight can vary from a cool red up to a bluish 25,000 K. Not all black body radiation can be considered white light: the background radiation of the universe, to name an extreme example, is only a few kelvins and is quite invisible.
`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More

maybe you can re-draw this.. the shadowing needs more working on
or maybe someone can do a vector for you, that would be perfect!
