THE LEGEND OF VODEN TEASER 1Chapter Teaser: Oracle’s Verse
His life was as hard as pronouncing his name. He sighed while shuffling the cards that he just made.
“You can do it, Zyx.” He would say, before knotting his tongue, his words astray. Really, his name was as hard as the as the work that remained, the mountains of parchments, the tools of the trade.
He was a mapper, a seer, an oracle, to boast. His innate talent, to lie, to protect the secret he was afraid of the most. But what is this? The card he was holding, suddenly shined, glowing! And now he was even more afraid, for when he saw a whelp, called Voden among the frays.
He flipped his card, and he squinted hard, for his future was a total mess and stain. This dragon, he envisioned, shall be the center of all paths and pain. Without his element, he lacks recognition, but even with his gifted, shall bring war to an ignition. Will the power of the null shall be his bane, or will he stand against the reign?
He made the cards and a ca

#03 How to Format your CommentsProjectComment is a Group of many projects centred around comments, but, more importantly, constructive comments. Every week, one admin from ProjectComment will write an informative article on commenting that will hopefully be useful to you! Please help support us by

the article and contribute your thoughts and opinions on the matter.

This article aims to show you how to format your constructive comments, and why you should format them in the first place. 'Formatting' in this case means making your comment more readable with a few simple steps.
Many of us simply write down the good and bad things we notice about an artwork, along with ways to improve the bad ones, which can lead to a unstructurized outcome, which makes understanding the comment and following the advice given harder.
Why should I format my comments?

Clarity and legibility. A wall of text is m

W.I.T.C.H Hay Lin TG: The curse of Nerissa.

"We came to rescue you! There is no time! Come with us"
Those were words I never expected to hear. Especially not on my birthday. Not that this day would be different than any other. I was always alone working late until it's was dark and today was no exception. Yet what I dreaded the most was two hours on the subway just to get to my apartment and sleep for another day. If my neighbors let me sleep. I closed my eyes. I daydreamed of having a birthday party and friends that were trying to cheer me up. I didn't want to open my eyes and return to reality where I was all alone working in a cubicle calculating taxes in a spreadsheet. "if only I had friends. Someone that cared about me..." I thought to myself
I opened my eyes with a frown, annoyed at my dream was interrupted by someone pulling my arm.
When I turned around to see who was pulling me, I saw 4 teenage girls staring at me. A black girl with glasses was looking at me silently, a blond girl looked a posh blond girl was

Contest Poem: Mother's Day Tribute.Whenever someone asks
"What is your mother like?",
I smile with an image of her,
making breakfast in the morning;
dancing to a playlist of songs
in vivid memory
then say
"My mother has
Words of wisdom;
love like no other.
Eyes of comfort;
God's greatest wonder
with deep, hazel eyes,
willing to sacrifice
with scars left untold,
but has a heart of gold.
And I wish I could repay
beyond hugs and cards with "Thank You".
Now all I can do is give
a daughter's lasting gratitude".

Guide on How To Receive Feedback and Critique:iconprojectcomment:
This is an editorial written and submitted by namenotrequired on behalf of ProjectComment, a group founded by 3wyl that aims to encourage deviants to seek and provide constructive feedback that can help you to better yourself at your art.
What's in this article

1. Encouraging people to comment

2. Getting comments through ProjectComment

3. Other places to get comments:

Groups

Forums

Chatrooms

Make clear in your artist's or author's comments that you're looking for feedback. You can also ask specific questions to potential commenters about it (“Does this character come across as realistic?”, “Please tell me what you think of the composition/colours/...” etc.).
More about using your Artist's/Author's comments effectively can be found in our article

An Observation of deviantARTI've come across many complaints in posts or journals or comment threads from people concerning their lack of visitors or comments.
One friend in particular compared my stats to theirs, wondering why my page views and such were so much higher when they had been on dA far longer than me, and at the time had just as many deviations.
I'll tell you all the same thing I told them:
Put yourself out there.
If all you do is post things on your own page, whether it be art, writing or journals, or reply to comments made on your own work, the only people who will ever know about it are those who are already watching you or the few who stumble across your work during searches.
You know the old adage 'what goes around, comes around'? It's true. Take it to heart and put it to use.
You want visitors to come to your page? Visit other pages. Your name appears on their visitor list and they may get curious.
You want comments? Comment elsewhere and your comment may garner replies. If your comment

5 Tips to Maintaining and Gaining WatchersFor those who have many watchers, and for those who don’t have many, it is hard to know how one retains that interest as well as receive more. This article explores the basics of watchers and how we react to certain situations. Although it does not affect some deviants, and the tips are generally common sense, we hope the article is a worthwhile read and that the majority learn something from reading this.
1. When uploading deviations, do not bombard your watchers. If you upload only one or two a day, or even one or two a week, you will get more comments as well as more attention. People will have more time to comment and more time in general, whereas if you upload all in one go, they will most likely delete and just comment on a few.
2. Spend time on your artwork. Once you’ve finished a piece, it doesn’t stop there. You’ve got to consider the title, which impacts the piece significantly and the artist’s comment. Is art ever finished? Ask yourself that q

ProjectComment: A Guide To CommentingHow To Comment: Quick and Easy Guide to Commenting
A lot of people put hard work into deviations only to receive "Cool!" or "Neat. That's awesome." (Or the occasional "Gross...")
While all of those are nice and sweet, and it IS appreciated, it only takes one moment of your time to say something a little more, to give insight into WHY you liked it, WHY you thought it was cool, or WHY you thought it was gross. Even the negative aspects of a deviation are nice to know so you have that reference the next time you work on a piece.
You don't have to tear the deviation apart, you don't need to critique it, but by stating why you like the piece you let another person know how much you appreciate their effort. It is unfortunate when people give up when they have truly amazing potential because they feel their efforts are in vain. As a whole, it's not your problem OR fault if they choose this route, but often times, one comment can change their entire perspective!

My pieces are *just* too big for my scanner, so I have to photograph them, and I feel like it is just always coming up short. I have a nice camera, I wait for the midday-natural-light, blank background, I seriously have looked up many guides on taking good pictures and I feel like I can't seem to get it right.

Project Comment: A Poem, by Brandon ThomasonPROJECT: COMMIT TO COMET COMMENT!
By Brandon Nikolas Thomason
Comments, they're not what they used to be;
They've lost their real meaning, and they're no longer free.
A person has to give a comment, to get another back.
A person has to think a lot, for the education they lack.
When people feel like they're cheery and good, it's only at this time:
They comment to a deviation, one that's in it's prime.
The people on top of the deviant chain get the most rewards.
They barely give a little back; their fortune they go towards!
Why do the little ones suffer, they had so much pride!
They quit before they get ahead; the pressure turns the tide.
It's thus that comments are rare and valuable, they come at a large, large premium.
For time and money is of the essence... they certainty aren't a freemium
So do yourself a favor and show a dev' in need.
Comment on their deviation, give them your news feed.
This will make the deviant happy, and filled with tears of joy.
A comment is precious and
