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!

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.
