[DEVIATION] Dandelion @Weissglut [EMOTE] Pearwood's 2026B feature log Steve's suggestions on how to leave a good comment... Tell the artist what caught your eye, something your particularly liked or didn't like. Tell the artist something you think they could have done differently or better. Suggest an alternate title; it tells the artist what you saw in the image. Interact with the artwork, continue its story. Ask the artist how or why they did something. If nothing else, even "Ooh, pretty!" or "Oh, ick!" is a lot more information than no comment at all.

DrThomasStockmann - I'm a DA Ambassador!

5 days ago

Hello there! My name is Thomas and I am a DeviantArt Ambassador for the @CRLiterature group. One of my goals is to help build a community for all the great writers we have here on DA! [DEVIATION] I love spending time in the outdoors, whether that take the form of hiking in the summer or skiing in the winter. I also like running outside when the streets are not icy. My love of nature definitely had a huge impact on my career, and now I am a professor who gets to talk about animals and mountains as part of his job! Reading and writing are some of my other passions. Books I enjoy range from YA fantasy to nonfiction on science, history, or contemporary politics. Feel free to ask for book recommendations (or give me your own!). As a DA Ambassador, I: Host activities on @CRLiterature Recommend a variety of artworks for Daily Deviations Offer prizes for contests in other CAGs I also love to offer positive comments on many art pieces I come across that look like a lot of heart and

#BlackHistory337 - 7: High Fantasy

Sep 1, 2026

#BlackHistory337 is about the time outside the 28 days designated as Black History Month, an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of the Black community during the other 337 days of the year. Let's continue learning all year long, because history doesn't stop when February ends. [DEVIATION] For this edition of #Black337 the focus is the genre commonly advertised as "High Fantasy". Fables , Fictional Slave Narratives , Comics , Detective Stories , plus High Fantasy are all fiction. Fables are fantasy as they have magical worlds/entities/objects/ or similar. Magic is defined as unsupported by what is known or science. Sometimes fictional slave narratives or comics or detective stories can be fantasy, but they don't have to be. So what is "High Fantasy" ? "High Fantasy" is fantasy with alot of details: Maps/Appendixes/Artworks. For example, no character type or story element in Tolkiens "Lord of the Rings" is absent in other fantasies. Magical Beings like elves or eagles who
