It is time to feature more tutorials and undiscovered art! :dummy: As usual, the feature will be divided into two parts. The first part includes tutorials on how to design characters and creatures, and the second part is a selection of artwork I’ve discovered recently with fewer than 50 favourites. Previous features are linked at the bottom of the journal, and I post a new feature each month on my profile, usually around the 15th :la: This month, we'll focus on an art form which can be a bit hidden on DA, namely writing. There are a lot of good stories, fan fiction and poetry out there, though - as well as some excellent tutorials on writing! First, we'll start with... well, story writing. @illuminara and @OokamiKasumi start us off by giving some tips on how to start writing in general, as well as giving some beginner tips. illuminara also has an enlightening guide on how to write your first draft, and then @MomoPoms gives some great advice on how to write good fanfiction

The theme for this month is Garden Dragons! 🌱 For this tutorial I will be featuring Minty The Mint Dragon as one of my favorite Garden Dragons to draw! Follow the steps and create your own artwork! Post your drawing on DeviantArt with the tag #GardenDragonTutorial and get a Profile badge! I mainly sketch my work in Painter SAI2. A lot of my color work is done in Corel Painter using the "Mona Lisa" brush. :bulletgreen: What is a Garden Dragon? A garden dragon is a plant-like dragon that lives in a garden pot. I originally called them "Bonsai Dragons." I have evolved them since the first creation of Bonsai Dragon and have made several different variations of them like Minty Dragon. :bulletgreen: Why this art style? I love to read and make comics of my own and have developed this cute art style to fit my very own comic that I run called Lucky Dragon and Friends. I post this comic regularly here on DeviantArt as well as on WebToon. Some of the recent episodes of my comic

Hello to everyone reading this journal! Before we move on to the interview itself, some of you may ask yourselves questions such as, ‘What is fractal art?’ or ‘Who are ‘fractalists’?’ Let me provide you with a very brief introduction. According to the Oxford Dictionary, fractal is a curve or geometrical figure in which each part shares the same statistical characteristics as the whole. These structures can be found throughout nature, including in plants, minerals, and even in different states of matter such as gas (smoke), liquid (waves), or solid (snowflakes). In simpler terms, Fractal Art refers to fractals presented as an art form, created using fractal-generating software. Term "Fractalist" consists simply of the two words - fractal, and artist. If you would like to know a little bit more, I recommend these brief, yet informative journals by C-91 and tatasz. Finally, welcome to the latest issue of a project called Hidden Fractalist, led by me, @LukasFractalizator. I

Exclusives are the perfect way to earn from your unique creations on DeviantArt! If you’re unfamiliar, Exclusives are one-of-a-kind artworks that artists can sell and buyers can own. Many DeviantArt creators sell adoptables (character designs, outfits, or accessories) as Exclusives, but you can also sell digital art, 3D art, photography, traditional art, and more! Exclusives can have one unique owner. Artists can allow the owner to resell the Exclusive later if desired, and if resales are allowed, the artist will earn royalties on resale. Why artists love selling Exclusives on DeviantArt Exclusives is a secure, automated system, which means you’ll save time without having to communicate with potential buyers. You’re guaranteed payment the moment your Exclusive sells. If you allow Exclusive owners to resell, you’ll earn a 10% royalty each time one of your Exclusives is resold. You receive free promotion as your Exclusives are highlighted on your deviations, profile, and in
