deviantHEART's The Kindness Quilt Community Project fav.me/d59ifix
"The Kindness Quilt is a blanket created from the love of deviants right here on deviantART. This quilt is built upon love, respect and gratitude. Every person has a reason to and a means to create their own quilt square. To say thank you, to share a collaborative work, to show off a gift, commission or request, as a present, or simply as a design. The quilt square is 500x500 pixels, and when included in a completed quilt, can be resized smaller."

Good-Intention
"Good-Intention is a group dedicated to the kind acts that take place daily around the deviantART community.  From users spending their time on free resources, to those who choose to feature the artwork of others.  No act is too small or too minor to not have a spotlight shone on it."

"Our concept is simple: You give people critiques, they give you critiques. Come join us if you're looking for meaningful and constructive comments!"

FeedbackFrenzy
