Journal topics: Timeplan Rest of 2023 Commission-Change with open/closed commission list New limited commission type "Alkas Happy Bag" Hey everyone~ It's been some time, since I wrote my last update and you might be confused why I am already talking about 2024, but trust me - it is important to write it right now, close to middle of November. 2023 was a Rollercoaster for me. A lot of very crazy things happened, good as bad alike and I think its just fair to say that I grew more as person, artist, martial artist, friend, family member and partner, then ever before. It was "a lot" to make it short. If you are part of my Discord Server, you know about most things. But this journal is a not a view back, rather then a short collection of thoughts and decisions that I have done in perspective of 2024 arising on the horizon already. So let us not waste anymore time and start with : -Timeplan Rest of 2023- Rest of November until December 7th - December 11th - will be solely to prepare

This monthly series highlights artists from the Adoptables community. Learn more about these artists, the art they make, and what inspires them to create. You’ll love this handpicked collection of adoptables, so consider buying some of their work! @SlayersStronghold Hi, Slayer here. Originally, DeviantArt was the perfect place to save and share all my past, present, and future art. I soon learned about adoptables and species communities and though I told myself I likely wouldn’t jump into those communities, here I am! The people I've met and the art and ideas I've seen have inspired me and shaped my interests for nearly a decade, and the time I've put into creating designs, for myself and for others, has meant the world to me. As a preteen, I was coerced away from art. Years later, I picked my pencil back up because I was encouraged by friends and community members here to continue to design and draw. I love making colorful designs, and I hope you enjoy them, particularly my fluffy

Hey everyone! It's been a while since we talked about something fun, and a friend of mine asked me, if I would not like to see people joining in my smaugtember challenge for this year. As you might know, I did 3 smaugust+smaugtember in 3 years in a row - but this year there will be less pictures because of some gigantic projects I am jiggling in the background. And since that means there is more space for cool draconic artworks - I want to invite YOU to join me! I will finish my card set with the end of september at the 28th. If you want, you can for sure choose another major arcana card, or draw one that I already published. All entires will be collected in a journal and the best 5 will get a secret gift made by me! The rules are as followed: No NSFW. No Gore. No Ai. Design has to be created for this years challenge. One must be able to identify the creature as draconic creature. And yes, Hydras are allowed. One picture per person. Must tag me in the artwork description, so that

Summary: Update on grandpops Commissions closed + new prices Writers Contest and the future of Inz Hey everyone~ It's been a few months since my last update journal and I am having the time to sit down and give you all a small - well tbh, a big - news update on my situation. As you might remember, last time it was a lot about my grandpops and I wanted to first take the moment and thank everyone who send their best wishes my way and to my grandpops. The situation is now that he still is in senior care and it somewhat became the new 'daily status'. Health is very unstable, but he is still fighting. I am thankful beyond words, that you supported me with emotional back up through this hard time, even tho I cannot say how long this 'peace' rn will last, but I try to stay optimistic. Carefully optimistic. But what is with this head line of the journal now? Well, as many of my older watchers know, I am working on my own TTRPG empire "INZENTIA" and as one step towards sharing more of my

"- or how to earn nugget stars to get discounts or even entire commissions for free". :D My der nugget family, it has been some time since my last journal, but I wanted to make use of them when I have important things to share. Such as today. Today I want to introduce you to a system that I am working on over the course of the past months, that shall make it possible for me to give some of the support back, that you guys have gifted me so often during the past 8 months especially. You people helped me to crawl out of the darkest place I have seen in quiet a few years and guarded me - or still do! - until I could stand on my own feet again. I always felt like I want to give something back, but only printing some stickers and throwing them at you in random numbers and situation, just won't do it for me and for the amount of gratitude I have towards my community. So, let me introduce you to the system and clear possible questions as good as possible. NOTE - You can already claim

Unfortunately, many artists and content creators have had their art stolen to be minted and sold as NFTs by imposters trying to make a quick buck. This issue is impacting artists across the web on all platforms where they publish and share their art — including Twitter, ArtStation, DeviantArt, and more. Although DeviantArt is the first platform to
