Undiscovered Weekly: TraditionalWelcome to the Traditional Edition of Undiscovered Weekly In case you're not familiar with it yet, Undiscovered Weekly is a series of articles aimed at putting a spotlight on some otherwise unknown talent across dA's various galleries. Featured Artists :iconbumblerbee1: :iconzennna246: :iconezekiel-thrash: ~ BumblerBee1 :bulletblue: Hello! Thank you for participating! Please introduce yourself! Hi!

Undiscovered Weekly: Stock and Resource:iconpackwood: :devpackwood: Hello! Thank you for participating! Please introduce yourself! Hi, my name is Dean Packwood, I'm 42, New Zealand born and currently living in Taupo, New Zealand. I've drawn and sketched my whole life, mainly in pencil, ballpoint pen and coloured pencil. About 20 years ago, I got caught up with work and other stuff and really didn't get back into it until the beginning of 2013. I had never really gotten into painting in a big way until now. If you haven't done anything for a while, don't despair, it's like getting back on a bicycle, you're a bit rusty but pick it back up in no time at all. It was only a matt...

Presenting inknalcohol, an awesome writer who is wrapped in silk ties and waiting.
Tell us a bit about yourself!I'm a writer (and I'm using that term loosely) that runs a zoo of animals, has a psycho-crazy-awesome housemate, and a very strong addiction to Monster.
:thumb363315532:
How did you find deviantART?The same way I find many things. My cousin invaded my home and refused to leave until I checked out what she wanted me to see. I was hooked as soon as I joined.
<da:thumb id="166975935"/>
What inspired your username?
When I first joined it was fenris242 mainly because I use that everywhere, but then I met thorns and after finding out my last name is Grimm and I was using a reaper-like avatar at the time, I became Grim Face (she'll tell you it's Grim Face the Jerk Face, but don't listen to her, she's an cheesecake supporter!) So when dA allowed us to change usernames, it was an obvious change because everyone was already calling me Grim Face.

How does deviantART stand out for you?The Community. I don't think I'd be here if it was for the Community. Especially the Lit Community. I was welcomed with open arms and they haven't kicked me out yet.
<da:thumb id="309463855"/>
What do you aim to do in the deviantART community?Feedback and recognition for others and of course helping out wherever I can. I started my Be A Critic challenge to get more feedback for writers. It's done well, and I hope it continues to do well. Lit is still one of the hardest things to get feedback on.

Being part of the fella team has given me the opportunity to get writers from all walks of life noticed as well with the Undiscovered Weekly features.
Individuals aside, I've also put in lots of work with various groups. Whether it's helping them get back on their feet, or just lending a hand when their staff is down. I enjoy meeting new people and being an admin has brought all kinds of new friends my way.
:thumb210339522: :thumb215339323:
What inspires your work?All sorts of stuff. My prose is almost always inspired by life or things I wish were happening in my life. I'm also an avid people watcher. I've written lots of shorts and vignettes based off watching people in the store, at the beach, in a bar, or at a park.
My poetry (if you want to call it that, I prefer not to) is spur of the moment. Whatever fleeting feeling I'm having at that very second is what I write.
<da:thumb id="364080732"/>
What is your main genre(s)?I'm a romance writer. I've always loved love and I love writing it. My housemate tells me that I'm in love with love. I haven't been able to argue it successfully yet. So I tend to agree with her. There's just something about the story of two people coming together and discovering each other that excites me.
<da:thumb id="199624954"/> <da:thumb id="204131716"/>
Any difficulties regarding your art?Getting words written. That's the hardest part. I tend to rush through my writing and I need to learn to take my time and explain/describe things more.
What is your future as an artist?I'll always write. I've long given up the dream of being a published writer, but writing has gotten me through a lot of rough patches and I know I can never give it up. It's always been an outlet for me; a way to get out the anger that needed to be released.
<da:thumb id="364760651"/>
What words of advice do you have for others?Dream big! It's a life motto. If you're not dreaming big enough, you'll never know what you are capable of. Sure, you may not make it, but there's always that chance that you will and that's worth fighting for.
What is the inspiration of your hot icon?
Who wouldn't want a raving Slenderman as their icon?
Cake or coconuts?Definitely coconuts. Even the thorny variety. Cake is fake. Pie is the holy grail.

Thank you so much Damien!

How to Suggest a DD
Daily Literature DeviationsOver the last few weeks, we've been discussing the ins and outs of Daily Deviations - but that's not the only feature a writer can receive... What are Daily Literature Deviations? A Daily Literature Deviation (DLD) is another feature available for writers, serving as both a badge of quality and an opportunity for further exposure within the literature community. Every Monday to Friday, the DLD account :devDailyLitDeviations: posts a journal that features five outstanding pieces of literature from community submissions.

#CRLiteratureIntroducing #CRLiterature With the new year, one of the things that the literature gallery moderators want to focus on is the interaction and growth of the community as a whole, and part of that is being able to chat in a comfortable environment that will still further artistic and personal growth. And so, with this new year we have decided to launch :#CRLiterature:, a Community Relations chatroom for literature. The Chatroom Structure The first step toward integrating the community as a whole is the overlooking of user symbols in building the chat structure.

The Tiny Drop of Darkness A tiny drop of darkness Resides in my heart. It lives within me, barely stirring It drifts about listlessly like a ghost A being that just can’t seem to disappear even if I want it to. All the corrupt words people feed into my mind only hurt me. They internally beat me black and blue. They make my body feel cold on the inside As they make the tiny drop grow Into a pitch-black abyss with no end. So this is what anger is like. This is what it means to hate. It is very unlike me To punch a wall, to yell and scream and shout To let others know how I am feeling. To let people see my emotions Is unthinkable, unheard of. So, instead, I liste...
What You're Made OfShe wanted to simply be. Simple. Spend everyday in a sashay across this life. It would be so much better than dealing with days from hell itself. Cutting around every corner. Trying to miss the void rapidly approaching. Hoping to find meaning in every broken second. Maybe it would all add up. Maybe she could figure it out.But sometimes things just fall apart. And sometimes things couldn't be stitched back together again. Not if she couldn't learn to fall. Not if she wasn't willing to lose herself. Life was supposed to be beautiful, wasn't it? Big doe-eyes shine in disbelief and tears paint overworked cheeks. Maybe not, she thinks.Maybe not.
Poison.You observe her, stretched out to her full length on your black sheets; her sinuous silhouette draws a flickering, quivering shadow on the wall (even her shadow fears her, you think to yourself). Not even the warm, dim light of the candles makes her more human. She smiles at you, all menacing white bone, and as she opens her sensuous mouth, sibilant words slip between her lips and wind around you like a snake around its prey. Chillingly beautiful, in a frozen, calculating way. Dangerous. And you know it, you know that you're about to give yourself into the hands of a viper and that she will steal your very soul if she so fancies...but you ...
