100 COLLABORATIONS (mine and not only) by AndersAG, journal

100 COLLABORATIONS (mine and not only)

2 hours ago

When the number of my collaborations with other artists on DA began to approach 100, I thought about creating this journal. In it I would like to reflect on this, in general, not quite usual form of creativity. I would also like to better understand for myself why I do this? Is there any other purpose, besides unusual visual perception? I wonder what other artists were thinking when they created collaborations, were they driven by anything other than the “corporate” nature of co-creation, a desire to collaborate, or simply because they liked a particular artist or the work of others? Although this journal is dedicated to the anniversary of my own works and most of shown here will be collaborations with my participation, I will also publish wonderful collaborations of many other talented artists on DA. Of course, this will be my choice and only a very small part of them, but you can always go to their account and pay tribute to their talent. If you have an answer to the question of

You Can Still Earn Badges! Check the List Out

2 days ago

Check the Following Journal for any Badges You May have Missed but Still Want to Get!! IMPORTANT! As Quoted from the Above Journal "Each tutorial includes a hashtag that's the key to earning your profile badge. Once you've finished your artwork and click submit, be sure to enter the tag exactly as written in the journal into your tags section." My Two-Cents: Without the Proper Tag the Badge will NOT be Given, and Even When Edited to Add the Tag, it Doesn't Work to Receive the Badge, so it Must be Resubmitted. I Know this From Experience!! Available Badges: 2024 Badges you can still earn!

Writing Challenge Part 2: Protagonist

Yesterday

This July, CRLiterature would like to give you the tools you need to write an engaging and entertaining short story through a series of fun tutorials. Each week, a different group cofounder will guide you through an important part of the writing process and teach you how to set your story up for literary success. At the end of this 4-part series, you'll be writing more confidently and will be able to convey greater depth and emotion in your prose than ever before. Are you ready? No: Relax. Take a load off. Have a refreshment. Now, repeat the question. Yes. Ok, you may continue. Did you complete the Writing Challenge Part 1: World-Building? No: Go check out Part 1. Yes: Thank you! Please continue 🙂 This is the second installment in the CRLiterature four-part tutorial series that will give you the tools you need to write a compelling short story. Each week in July 2025, we’ll release a journal with some guidelines to help make you a better writer and set you up for writing

Writing Challenge Part 2 (Extended): Protagonist

Yesterday

This is my example of going through the steps to creating a protagonist for part 2 in @CRLiterature 4 part series to help all create an engaging and entertaining short story. If you see this post and haven't read about the series or haven't seen part two please use the following. Part 1 https://www.deviantart.com/drthomasstockmann/journal/Writing-Challenge-Part-1-World-Building-1204683561 Part 2 https://www.deviantart.com/hddeviant/journal/Writing-Challenge-Part-2-Protagonist-1212132548 If you came here from part 2 and want to see my example of creating a protagonist, please continue. This post will show an example of developing the protagonist in the world I started to develop based on the first week challenge. For those who are less experienced you can have multiple protagonists, but for this exercise I will focus on one. A protagonist in any story is the character a reader/listener is following who has a goal that will be achieved, usually at the end of story but not

July: Paths of Purpose

2 days ago

Welcome to July! Another new month is upon us and I am happy to see its arrival. Summer is my absolute favorite time of year and I enjoy being outside, hiking and basking in the sunshine. On another note, I am now entering the final five weeks of my last college class for French and hope to be done the first week of August! I will get my official IU degree sometime in October, and I know it is a long time coming and still does not feel real at this point. When I started this new journey far back in 2018 and began taking my new English and Technical writing and website centric design classes, I was not sure what to expect but as I continued onward, I discovered a new talent that I was excited to expand on and still enjoy sharing my online business portfolio with excitement— and do hope to add to it newer projects in the near future. Do take a moment to tell me, what are some of your upcoming plans for this summer and fall? Anything exciting? Are you also taking part in Flash Fiction

Discovered Treasures 7.7.25

Hope you're still in a solid state and not melting in the sun this summer. I am so tired lol. If I accidentally included AI or someone who doesn't want to be featured, feel free to let me know. If I included anyone twice, enjoy the bonus . I'll also take this moment to mention that I'm more active on Cara & Bluesky, if you wanna say hi: Cara: https://cara.app/craftsbyblue BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/craftsbyblue.bsky.social P.S. Follow if you want, but know that I don't F4F - been there, done that, it doesn't help either of us. I'm looking for genuine interest and engagement (ex. comments, questions), not numbers.

Useful websites and other stuff for Artists!

Dec 10, 2024

I guess in the current world flooded with AI it's important to reach out a helping hand to other real artists. So I decided to share as many resources as I can and I hope some can find that interesting/important/useful! I'll make sure to update this periodically and keep it all "topic accurate" (as a specific sections so everybody can find something for themselves! Most of them are free to use! If you know any useful sites then feel free to share! USEFUL TOOLS FOR WRITING! Thesaurus | Synonyms and Antonyms of Words - I think this one doesn't need introduction, haha! Punpedia The Online Encyclopedia Of Puns - This one also speaks for itself! Many categories of puns at your disposal for your writing shenanigans!

How to draw Minty The Garden Dragon!

Jul 1, 2024

The theme for this month is Garden Dragons! 🌱 For this tutorial I will be featuring Minty The Mint Dragon as one of my favorite Garden Dragons to draw! Follow the steps and create your own artwork! Post your drawing on DeviantArt with the tag #GardenDragonTutorial and get a Profile badge! I mainly sketch my work in Painter SAI2. A lot of my color work is done in Corel Painter using the "Mona Lisa" brush. :bulletgreen: What is a Garden Dragon? A garden dragon is a plant-like dragon that lives in a garden pot. I originally called them "Bonsai Dragons." I have evolved them since the first creation of Bonsai Dragon and have made several different variations of them like Minty Dragon. :bulletgreen: Why this art style? I love to read and make comics of my own and have developed this cute art style to fit my very own comic that I run called Lucky Dragon and Friends. I post this comic regularly here on DeviantArt as well as on WebToon. Some of the recent episodes of my comic

Resources For Artists: Colour Scheme Tools

Jan 4, 2013

Colour Scheme Tools So I have been thinking of doing a few articles apart from feature articles to link some useful resources for artists and this is the first one of these. While this is a mini one, it's helped me a lot on several occassions.Sometimes it gets confusing to decide which colours to choose. "'Should I go with a turquoise and a gold for the face? What about the room? I was going for a chic cool modern palette which is minimalistic!" Surely, a lot of us have gone through those decisive moments. Below are some colour scheme tools that would help you with your colour scheme choices. Click the titles or the links in asterisk to go...
