deviantART and Journal spam: what we're doing!Spam is a constant thorn in the side of every Internet user's daily life. From the mundane to the surreal, these emails appear in our inboxes so frequently, messages from South African attorneys offering $10 million dollars get marked as spam without a second thought to savvy users.deviantART and Journal spam: what we're doing!2 years ago in Personal More Like This
We define spam as the misuse of communication systems to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately to our deviants. Typically, the content of spam messages is aimed at advertising a product that is often counterfeit or potentially malicious. With the rise of social networking, there's been an increase in more direct spamming -- companies who directly target your social network profiles.
"Over the last few years, deviantART has had a small but unfortunate stream of such abuse. Usually, it’s as easy as banning the offending members and moving on to more pressing problems, but recently something happened that caused us to re-evaluate how we handle spam issues."

Character Design: An introductionCharacter Design: An introduction4 months ago in Art Features More Like This
Arvalis-2012 by `arvalis
What does 'Character Design' mean?
The character design is the process which comes after the characterisation and consists in defining the character through his/her physical appearance.
We need to consider a character as a little fictional creature, human or not, that aims to please its creator and the public as well.
While the basic characterization of this fictional creature (his tastes, his fears, his behaviors) may take a little mental effort, as it is a sort of list of emotions, facts and feelings that come and go in the life of a character, the process of visual realization of this creature may not be as simple. That's why many writers and characters creators prefer to rely on experienced hands.
Also many of the mental aspects of the character are not possible to gain by using 'static' visual medium. For 'static' I mean all the illustrations and drawings unable to tell a
Happy Birthday H.P. LovecraftToday is the birthday of the father of modern horror and prophet considered by actual Cthulhu cultists, H.P. Lovecraft. He is 122nd today. And he is one of the greatest inspirations to horror writers, mangakas, comic book writers, artists and film directors since he's a big influence on Stephen King, Junji Ito, Sam Raimi and his Evil Dead trilogy, Clive Barker, Artist H.R. Giger with his design for the Xenomorph, John Carpenter with The Thing, Mike Mignola with Hellboy and Del Toro, Alan Moore,Neil Gaiman, and Stuart Gordon. Even video games such as Dead Space, Alone In The Dark, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Resident Evil (Mostly Resident Evil 4) and Silent Hill. Even Internet Phenomena such as The Slenderman Mythos, Candle Cove, and SCP Foundation are influenced by his writings. And there are also the actual Cthulhu cults that see Lovecraft as a prophet. Without Lovecraft, we wouldn't have horror that isn't influenced by insanity and things that peoplHappy Birthday H.P. Lovecraft9 months ago in Personal More Like This

Welcome to the Crazy World of Creepy Creations.
In my opinion next to photography, sculpting is an expensive hobby to get into. These folks take not weeks but months sometime to create just one piece of art to share with you and its all worth the wait. Our own `LabyrinthCreations watched over this community as a volunteer and one of the first ones that got me to really appreciate the craft. She is still with us but also following her heart by becoming the co-founder of a new group. #DeviantSculptors They are just a few months old but already have the eye of the community.
Check out some of this wonderful art and visit these amazing artists....

Lucifer - The Fallen by *RainerKalwitz
Marble, Granite, Bronze, Silver, Gold!
Early statuary depicted one’s god’s, and since the medium is
as much the message as the visual message itself – the medium had
to proclaim: This god is as forever lasting as this stone that His
rendering is hewn out of! But all that is solid eventually melts
away into the air, even the most powerful ancient gods and kings –
As the poet Shelley so poignantly noted in Ozymandias.
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp’d on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock’d them and the

Contours in Context
The argument for the nude in art:
Our visual perception of the human face and then the human body has set the basis since the beginning of
human history for our sense of what is beautiful and what initiates all our seminal ineffable sublime feelings
about the nature of love, life, desire, destiny, eternity, ad infinitum. The curvatures and symmetries of the
human body even lay the geometric basis for the artistic structures of all our art forms, not only for the visual
arts but also for literature and architecture. Given the primacy of the body as the beginning of all that we are
in life, and given the eye as the primary receiver for the collection of all information in our lives, how could
the artistic nude not be a massively represented art form on a global arts forum like deviantART? And besides,
