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.

Moo Deng, the baby pygmy hippo from a zoo in Thailand, has taken the internet by storm with her tiny size and dramatic personality. Her playful waddles and big, curious eyes have charmed the world, making her an unexpected viral sensation. As Moo Deng's fame spreads, artists everywhere are capturing her in all her adorable glory. Here's a collection of fan art from the community celebrating this little, pint-sized star that everyone can’t stop talking about.
Born in Khao Kheow Open Zoo on July 10, 2024, her name literally translates to "bouncy pork". It was chosen through popular vote.
Moo Deng is a lifestyle icon... inexplicably moist at all times... slightly blurry in most photos... probably screaming or sleeping... round

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.
