Thank you to everyone who participated in the Digging for Diamonds event!

Diamond badges were being pulled from the rough for these categories:

- Favorite Deviation

- Favorite Caption/Comment

- Favorite Runner-Up

These categories are entirely based upon my own impressions and do not reflect the quality of the artwork or captions themselves. All of the pieces are wonderful and I thank you all for participating in this impromptu share of the community. I look forward to seeing what the next event brings!

Without further delay, our submissions:

Favorite Deviation

Taehyung birthday art 2022 by @SeverinLee, suggested by @LyraMorgan.

Just picking one of SeverinLee s artworks is like asking me what kind of chocolate I like the most... problem is I love all of them. All of their pieces have a very balanced composition, the colors have a certain harmony to them and yes I have a soft spot for hot characters (don't judge me ) I mean I have nothing to do with bts but I'm loving the fanart that this amazing artist is putting out!

Favorite Comment

Brennan by @N3XU5-PRIME, suggested by @LadySionis.

I don't need a diamond badge this time around, but I do want to share an artist here who I've enjoyed working with for the past 2-3 years! He's a great friend of mine now and I have always loved his work. My dears, please give a warm welcome to my dear friend, N3XU5-PRIME !!! If you were to look through his gallery, you'd see all the creativity and inspiration from all things cyberpunk and even Batman (which if you know me, I love so much!!). One of his characters to me, shows the epitome of one of the good guys.

I mean, just look at that talent! You could clearly see a good man tired of his job as a cop, but doesn't give up when the going gets tough. This right here, is a lot potential for story writing as well as making reference sheets of all his facial expressions. My friend deserves so much love and attention and if the internet gets its way, this incredible creator would be lost to time and space, so please my dears, give this man a round of applause and some attention!

Favorite Runner-Up

MERRY CHRISTMAS! - Chibi OCs by @JIMENOPOLIX, suggested by @ShinyJonDiamondGlitz.

I must say, the reason this photo deserves some admiration because the person who drew many people’s OCs really did take their time to make them perfect and adorable! So adorable, it makes me wanna say: “OMG, all these characters look kawaii drawn as chibis!”

The other entries and comments have been given Emerald badges. Thank you all again and have a wonderful New Year!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Digging for Diamonds event!

Diamond badges were being pulled from the rough for these submissions, as participation was low this round.

The hunter and the Hunted by @TobiAraiguma, suggested by @talos13a.

Not only is Tobi an excellent artist, but genuinely GOOD people. She has always helped and encouraged me with my art journey, asking for nothing in return. <3

A DeviantArt Sing Along by @PeezyPuppy123Forever, suggested by @ShinyJonDiamondGlitz.

The reason I admired it is because OC crossovers (good ones) are sort of my fave.
