Deux paires d'yeux (Two pairs of eyes)
Deux paires d'yeux
Dans ces cieux si noirs, quand je fus dans mon lit,
Je pus apercevoir, Ténèbres Infinis,
Quatre beaux points d'ivoire et je fus démuni.
Dans ce très grand manoir, mon corps entier pâlit.
Quatre points isolés, quatre points terrifiants !
Montagne désolée dont ils sont les amants !
Ils sont paralysés dans ces arbres géants,
Structures édifiées dont je suis le dément !
Ces sombres quatre points pourtant si lumineux
Me fixèrent de loin tel deux paires d'yeux
Comme si, avec soin, m'observaient deux Dieux :
L'un par tendre bes

Feature: Drawing Humans and Undiscovered Art
This curated feature is brought to you by @BeckyKidus It’s May, and people who follow me know I’m in the middle of a feature series showcasing tutorials and undiscovered artwork. The first part of this feature includes tutorials related to drawing human figures, and the second part is a selection of artwork I’ve discovered recently with fewer than 50 favourites. I post a feature like this once a month, on or around the 15th. If you’d like to see more features like this, previous features I’ve put together are linked at the bottom of this journal. I hope you're able to make use of these great tutorials and enjoy beautiful art you may not have seen! Tutorials: How to Draw Humans Drawing humans can be complex, so to keep things simple, I’ve broken this tutorial feature down into sections. The first section covers general body proportions, and the sections that follow will cover heads, faces, hands, and feet. Proportions To start, @Anastasia-berry created references covering basic

To add to the fun of the beta launch of Adoptables, DeviantArt is hosting a party for custom creations, and you’re invited to the colorful celebration! If you’re not familiar, adoptables are one-of-a-kind works of art that interested buyers can adopt from artists. In most cases, these are character designs (often human, anthropomorphic, mystical creatures, otherworldly beings, or entirely new species), outfits, or accessories. Get on the guest list! To join the festivities, create an adoptable using the following color palette: #9EFC36, #FF83EB, #6B6FFF Once you’ve created your attendee, submit it as a deviation with the tag #AdoptableParty by June 7th to get a brand new badge for your Profile! Want some inspiration on what to wear to the party? Check out these styles from early attendees: Digital Dragon by @Sindonic
Requested improvements to Adoptables offers by team, journal
Requested improvements to Adoptables offers
Adoptables sellers can now select when their sale period will start, and offers now display in the right sidebar on the deviation page for easier tracking and offering! Adoptables launched as a beta feature in March, and in response to community feedback, the DeviantArt team has been working on improvements to make the feature more efficient. Two improvements have just been released, and you can try them out now! New Sale Duration Options Previously, when an adoptable was listed as accepting offers, the sale duration would start immediately when the seller completed the listing process. Now when you list an adoptable with the “accept offers” option, you can still set 24 or 48 hours as the sale duration period, but you can also choose between two settings to determine when that period starts: The sale duration starts immediately after you list the adoptable for sale, or The sale duration starts after the first offer is placed. When a seller selects the second option, the adoptable

Celebrating Deviousness - June 2023
The Deviousness Award is given to one deviant each month in recognition of their exemplary contributions to DeviantArt and its community and has been a long-standing tradition since DeviantArt’s early years. @LualaDy is the recipient of June 2023’s Deviousness Award, so please join us in congratulating her! @LualaDy has been a community rockstar for a very long time, and her long-standing work to promote other artists and ensure their work gets seen by a wider audience is near-unmatched. She has posted art features on a daily basis for multiple years—some days posting more than one feature at a time—while also running groups that feature even more artwork. For her continuous dedication to the artists of the DeviantArt community, we are proud to name @LualaDy the recipient of the Deviousness Award for June 2023. Hi! Hello, it's me. I do stuff. Sometimes. Sometimes I don't. I draw, paint, crochet, knit, write, and take photos. And I do maths! I'm pretty good at maths. Oh, and I sew

Run
I run. I was born in the dawn, Pale child of the sun, Like my father before me Holding ash in my lungs, Like my mother, my sister, And their pyroclast veins, Until I tasted the ocean And the salt sang my name. So I ran. I ran to the north, To the emerald fields, To the bogs and the heather Of a land wounded deep, Where the streams are elegies, Where the mountains lament Their sons and their daughters Lives heedlessly spent. I heard songs on the marshes, So sweet that I drowned Under rains that fell endless And soaked through the ground. But the words were not mine, And I could not speak Their odes to the heartless Their requiem of peat. So I ran. To the north, to the north, To the cold, to the dark, Where longitude ends, Where maps have no mark. A roar in the oceans, A whisper in the woods. There is something here Just barely understood. In the clawing peaks, Across ravenous ice, In the furious rivers, In the cinderglow night, There is something waiting At the edges of sight And
