Beautiful feature, lovely to see some men in there too. It's not so often that you come across male portraits, especially nudes that are so tastefully done

I definitely tried to balance it out more this time. I have always wanted to show an equal balance of men and women, it's just hard with female portraiture dominating the site.

Back to BasicsHey all

.
Gonna get back to basics soon. I won't be taking charge of any groups from now on. I'm just gonna be browsing through awesome portrait and nature art. I'm gonna make some simple art features Naughty by Nature style, (beautiful portraits in nature settings, with most featuring nudity). I may share some actual nature work as well. With dA's new system for alerting deviants when their work has been mentioned, art features are as easy as ever.
If you're into checking out some great portrait and nature artists, look to my journal entries in the future!

Hello StrangersHey all. No one sees that much of me these days. 2013 was a fucktastrophe, so I haven't been doing too much.
This winter has been particularly gruelling for everyone, and I am pretty tired of it. I'm hoping that this summer brings me photo opportunities, and the motivation to take photos, (unlike last summer). Either way, I'd like to be outside more this summer to make up for this awful winter.
deviantART has turned into a chore for me, mostly because of my group. I haven't looked at any art in a long time, and I only come on to accept/decline submissions. Not gonna do that shit anymore, so I'm closing the doors on my group permanently, and just gonna focus on looking at cool photos and appreciating photography again, instead of trying to critique everything.
Hopefully I can take better photos for it.
Anyway, if anyone still watches me, (which is unlikely given the fact that I only submit photos 3 months out of the year), then I hope to shower you all with new and excellent photos this

A Twist, PerhapsWhile I haven't really taken a lot of nature photos lately, I still love deviantART and would never close my account. However, I also started my nude photography account a while back, and I think it's time to call that one quits. I just didn't really get the kind of response I was hoping for. While I was hoping to find that most people saw a definite increase in quality over other male-oriented photography on this site, all I really got were comments from mostly gay men, and some pretty weird notes once in a while. A few females here and there would appreciate my work, and I am grateful for that.
Perhaps it's my fault for not filtering my images better. Either way, that side of photography is not something I am openly pursuing anymore. I haven't taken a nude self portrait in months. Still, there are some images that I am extremely happy with, even now. So I have decided to post a few of the best images from that account onto this one.
The images I do post here will be the highest quali

No PhotosI've been so busy with other things this summer that I simply haven't gone out a lot to take photos. I lost a lot of my photography spark, so I haven't even really tried. August has usually been my photography month, and I didn't even pick it up for its entirety. Still, I may go out once to get some shots and see what I can find. I guess that when I post photos for 3 or 4 months and then back away for so long, I don't get the kind of response I like when I come back the following summer. A few favourites here and there, and no comments. Not really worth it.
I've been hanging out with friends, doing a lot of gaming, (Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn), and I've actually started writing a book. I'm writing a fantasy novel that will eventually turn into a trilogy. It's an idea that I've had for a while, so that's taken up a lot of time too.
Anyway, maybe you'll see a few more photos from me this year, but don't get terribly excited. I'm even pulling away from my group a bit; only d

hateom - July 2013 Nature Winner

Why I chose this photo:
Quite simply, I chose this photo because it was unique. I see a lot of landscape and waterscape photos on a regular basis, but I've never seen something quite like this. The landscape and sky alone are exposed very well, but then the ship-wrecked boat is exposed well too, with that beautiful orange glow. Impeccable work.

brenditaworks - July 2013 Portrait Winner

Why I chose this photo:
It's hard enough to capture a beautifully exposed portrait with natural, warm, inviting light. It's even harder to capture movement in a photo while paying attention to all of those other elements. This shot really shows all the pieces coming together. Even the model's face is in a perfectly neutral expression, which is not easy when moving like this. The whole photo just radiates beauty.

Can I draw Anime/Cartoons well?This question is always being asked on DeviantART--mostly by young, aspiring artists who really think they want to become a great, professional anime/manga/cartoon artist when they get "good enough".
The matter of the fact is that, no matter how much you try to be good at a style, regardless of how much you practice and how often you draw it--it'll never look right.
UNLESS
you study realistic form and proportion first.
Learn how the human body really looks and really works before you try to stylize it.
The best way to do this is to find out if there are any Figure Study classes being held in your town or city. A lot of places will have these sessions where anyone can come in at a certain time and draw nude models that will sit and pose for any artist who attends. These are perfect for learning the realistic human form. As long as you draw them as you see them and try to figure out why things are the way they are.
In short, figure studies are how artists dissect a human being wit

My tiny cat otter doll next to my large 3 feet long dragon doll!

- Starting the Armature -

I like to sculpt my doll's faces out of Sculpey Premo! polymer clay. On a doll like my kitsune or harlequin kittens, I used about 1/5 to 1/6 of an 8oz bar. That's about 2oz, which is a size you can buy some polymer clay packages in, convenient! Now that I make my dolls with soft paws and soft ears, I use even less clay.
I start by making a sketch of the actual size my doll will be, this helps me measure the wires and fit everything together. Photo references of real animals help me a ton with anatomy and sculpting.

I like to use a combination of aluminum wir

A Pepper in Every HomeI'm in Love:

It isn't just the incredible honor of having a Traditional Pepper drawing by Stanley " Artgerm " Lau, which in itself keeps me and everyone around me gazing in to her incredibly beautiful eyes..

... No, that's not the only reason. Owning a Pepper is a real treasure. This International Woman of Mystery has captured the hearts of some of today's most highly regarded digital artists. Her creator, Artgerm is easily the most popular artist on the Internet. His Gallery is filled with blockbuster art pieces. He achieves position #1 on the home page of deviantART with almost every submission to the site:

Long Exposure TutorialThis tutorial is for everyone who loves the magic of night photography, surreal effects, use of lights, and long exposures even at daylight! Or just for everyone who wants to try this section of photography. I used some of my own pictures as examples for the topics I am talking about. Every picture has the EXIF/camera data, so you can see how I took this photo!
Photography at night
The easiest way and also the cheapest to get long exposures is to take photos at night. The whole photography is a triangle: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fxbalKKB9mw/ScJbsMEPLLI/AAAAAAAAAlo/fV7m4syiOvw/s320/Exposure+Triangle.gif To get the right exposure, shutter speed, aperture and ISO are the main parts. If you have less light, open the aperture and ISO and shutter speed are constant. If you use a higher ISO you can keep your shutter speed and your aperture, and if you use a slower shutter speed (longer exposures) you can keep the ISO and the aperture! And this is what we need for night photography!

What is Loli ?What is Loli!?
What is the difference between Lolicon and Lolita!?
Thanks deviantART for banding our LoliFansClub, Now I have to explain this all over again!
First! Loli is indeed what deviantART call as underage girls,BUT under age girls or Loli art, ARE NOT 100% CHILD PORN GRAPHICS!! lots people always mistakes the meaning of this word, and think everything that is called Loli is related of child porn! which is NOT TRUE!! here is an example of Loli which is done of the LoliFansClub owner ZiyoLing

If may I ask, which part of this Loli ART is EROTIC?
If you're gonna say something like :
"OMG she's wearing mini skirt..its too temptation...!!"
Then I would say... :
"LIKE I TOLD YOU SO...stay away from porns... even its not child porn, it ruins your innocent mind!!"
deviantART is filled of many Loli arts, that are just not being notify as a Loli, such as Anime, Naruto characters are even underage, Original Characters that we have cre

Let it be SPRING !The beautiful spring came... and when Nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also...
I've seen many fabulous works about reneval of nature, and they all deserve to be seen... Unfortunately, I can't show them all in this one little showcase, so enjoy some of my latest faves
