Suggest a December Daily Challenges Tag
Daily Challenges has been a really fun way to engage with artists across the world and this past year we’ve received literally hundreds of thousands of amazing deviations covering all kinds of themes, subjects, art styles, and genres inspired by these tags. Let’s keep the fun going through the end of the year with an entire month of Daily Challenges tags in December suggested by Deviants!
How to Suggest a December Daily Challenges Tag
❄️ Think of things that you associate with December: colder weather, snow, winter, holidays, gifts, traveling, spending time with family, eating too much, sweets, etc. … ask yourself: what does December mean to me?
❄️ Once you have a December-specific idea, try coming up with some words that describe your idea but are still open to most art styles and genres … for example, #Icicle is more accessible than #IcicleWatercolor.
❄️ Before you share your idea, scan the comments below to see if anyone else has already posted that #tag … if so, don’t post the

YCH Showcase - October 2024
YCH artists don't just create art; they ignite your imagination with boundless possibilities. With each stroke of their pencil or brush, they sketch a scene, a moment, a pose that invites you to envision your character within it. It's not merely a commission; it's a collaborative journey where you and the artist co-author an unforgettable experience for your character.
Welcome to this monthly feature where we spotlight the exceptional talents of YCH artists and their inspired creations. We invite you to immerse yourself in the imaginative worlds they've crafted for characters like yours. And, who knows? You might just discover a space for your own character to shine within their art!
's prolific gallery showcases a diverse mix of expressive and dynamic YCH poses, often centered around fantasy themes. Her art style blends soft, eye-catching shading with playful and elegant details that bring her creations to life.

Fan Art Friday: Blue Eye Samurai by AlexanderPaupoff, journal
Fan Art Friday: Blue Eye Samurai
Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix is a visually striking animated series with a gripping storyline, unique characters, and powerful themes like identity, honour, and vengeance.
Set in Edo-era Japan, the eponymous blue-eyed samurai, Mizu, embarks on a relentless quest for vengeance. In a society that values purity and conformity above all else, the mixed-race Mizu is an outcast, experiencing deep-rooted prejudice and abuse at every turn. Demonised by society, Mizu's insatiable need for revenge against those responsible for her origin begins to threaten her very humanity.
This week's Fan Art Friday feature pays tribute to Mizu's unforgettable journey - her strength, determination, and vulnerability - with some amazing fan art created by the community.
An artist gives all they have to the art, the whole. Your strengths and deficiencies, your loves and shames. Perhaps the people you collected. - The Swordfather
If one god forsakes you, another one will help you.

❄️The Legend of Snow, Part 1: ❄️
The desert is unrelenting as you make your daily march to the only well within hundreds of miles. From more than a mile away, you can already see the snaking lines of people queuing for their daily water allotment, already knowing it is never enough to crush that gnawing sense of dehydration in the pit of your stomach, but it is just enough that you won’t collapse while scavenging for food.
As you make your way down the hard scrabble path from the rocky outcrop you’ve called home for 20 years, a small boulder slides from under your feet, sending you toppling forward and onto your hands and knees. As you recover

Would you?
Would you notice?
I think not, but I hoped you might.
And it's become clear that the air collects like smog in my lungs.
They won't exhale, as they wait to explode.
Nail down every last daydream so I won't float on.
Rotten fruit sometimes becomes wine, but not today.
Stagnant waters birth only ever blood suckers.
Everything feels heavy, I can do nothing but shrug.
Microdosing existential Dread hoping that time will stand by....
It won't.
My age creeps on like the death in my veins,
Bitten at a tender age.
