How to make good comics: FailMaybe it's because I'm a (self proclaimed) comic artist, but sometimes people come to me to ask for advice about how to make good comics.
Aaaaand to be honest, I have absolutely no idea.
That doesn't stop me from trying to! My brain has a bit of an excitement rush right now since I'm going to leave for an almost-week-long road trip tomorrow with some friends which really makes me want to do something completely irrelevant to anything ever, so have some of my typical rambling again! Been a while, huh?
I bet many of those who ask how to do good comics want to become great comic artists as soon as possible, but actually, I think that one of the best things to do to become a good comic maker is failing. Yeah. Failing is something everyone wants to avoid, as if failing meant instant death or something, but it's something that really isn't all that easy to avoid. (Yeah, failing is embarrassing, which is why people who look like they're good don't show their fails.) And actually I

Steins;Gate manga returns in Comic Blade magazineLong time since we've heard news, eh? Nothing yet about the movie, but there's still the manga to look forward to.
The official website for Mag Garden's Monthly Comic Blade magazine has announced that Taishi Tsutsui's (Esprit, Fukashigi Philia) Steins;Gate: Hiyoku Renri no Sweets Honey spinoff manga will return to the magazine in a new manga titled Steins;Gate: Hiyoku Renri no Sweets Honey Final.
The new series will premiere in the magazine's January 2013 issue shipping on November 30.
The tone of the series is slapstick comedy compared to the more serious overtones of the anime, but even the anime had its great funny moments

Case Of Art Thief (C.O.A.T. 04)Greetings everyone,
This person, :iconDuma55555: has stolen art from :iconDarkfinder:, :iconGarih: and :iconMeru-chan:
The stolen arts are
and the originals are

Do care to follow deviantART rules when taking care of the art thief. Make sure that the original artist has been informed of what pieces of art have been stolen from him/her so that he/she may report them himself/herself.
REMEMBER PEOPLE, REPORT WHILE USING THE SILENT NINJA TECHNIQUE. Which means:
- Go on the art thief's page
- Report
- And most of all, DON'T LEAVE A SINGLE MESSAGE TO THE ART THIEF, NOTHING! NADA! NIETE! ZERO! NO INSULT OR BASHING, NOTHING AT ALL!
So if I am to post a journal entry about a case of art thievery, you in return MUST NOT go and bash the art thief (as much as it is tempting.) Otherwise we become a group that encourages harassment and this is not what this group stands for . And

Five Things About Me:
1) I have the bad habit of getting obsessed about books/cartoons that are supposed to be for a kid's audience. (but i suppose everyone already knew it ~~no one said the 5 facts should be secrets right? right?~~)
2) Also they way I'm obsessed about them, as for all the other things i'm obsessed with, is scary in many

Manga REC : Oumagadoki ZooOk since it seems like this weekend i won't be able to draw anything because of various reasons, i want to try making manga recommendation

sorry for the poor english i will probably use ahah (- -)''
The manga is Oumagadoki Zoo ~~and i didn't choose it just because there was a rabbit-boy in the cover or maybe yes~~ written ad illustrated by Kōhei Horikoshi.
The manga talks about the life of Hana, a youn girl who is very shy and clumsy. She hasn't got many friends but she really loves animals and spends lots of time reading informations about them. At the beginning of the summer she decides to start working in the local zoo - that is actually pretty unknown and desolated in the zone. But once she arrives there she founds out that the Director is a crazy rabbit who barely tries to hide his face with a hat.

Though Hana saw his real face the Director, Shiina, decides to "interview" her anyway for

The DAvengers InitiativeGreetings everyone,
I'm ~FallenAngelGM and like all of you, I am a member of DeviantArt, the world's largest online art community.
Some of you know me for my manga project #Heart-Of-Wildfire. But most of you probably know me for my actions taken against art thievery. After the recent case I've solved with the wonderful help of you people, I decided I had enough of this. We Deviants on this website work hard on our artistic pieces and we put our heart and soul on each and everyone one of them.
But when we are stroke by art thievery, it is never a pleasant experience. Especially when we try our hardest to report. Sometimes, the art thieves are still roaming around and their acts are never correct.
That's why I decided to create this group, :iconthe-DAvengers:, along with this movement:
This group, with your help, has the unique goal of reporting to DeviantArt moderators in a faster and hopefully more effective way. With your help, by joining and watching this group we'

SUBMISSIONS ARE OFF BECAUSE OF CHANGES.Many of you have noticed,
many of you know why,
but there are also those who haven't,
and also those who don't.
Well, the group folders are being consolidated (basically.. flattened together into simpler folders) into the following categories: Digital, Traditional, Crafts, Literature. Because of my tight schedule, this change will not be completed for several months (and I am SINCERELY sorry for it ;n; ). And so that I don't have more submissions to move into the correct folder, I have turned off submissions for the time being.
And I know it's probably a good idea to find co-founders or extra help to categorize all these submissions, but (this is my personality problem..) I have trouble relying on others to do things that I really want done my way. But if you are legitimate about being a co-founder, you are welcome to NOTE us/me an 'application'. If that's your decision, IMPRESS ME. A person fit to be co-founder should be able to impress a high schooler. And by impress

More Like This FeatureI've put the brand new More Like This discovery tool to good use!
I picked one of my own photos, and then used the new tool to find deviations "like it". I picked a photo I liked from that selection, and then used the tool to find photos like that one. Then I picked a photo from those results, and so on. Here is what I found!

Please add this feature to your

to help more people to see it. Thank you.

Two fellow deviants, rest in peace.~oxai sadly passed away last night. Rest in peace

We also shouldn't forget =Lisa-Schneider, who passed away earlier this year. It's her birthday in a few days. May she rest in peace also.

:iconoxai: :iconLisa-Schneider:

Need something to do this Fall?As you're all aware, our recently completed mascot contest ended with the chosen mascot 'Fletcher', by ~gavi-gavi. Now, we need to spread him around!
If you're looking for a great way to contribute to the group AND get your style featured on our page (which gets a lot of views!), draw Fletcher!
Your works will be put directly on the front page, but here's what's required for it to be on:

1. No background.  You must remove it so that it is a transparency.
2. It cannot be larger than 150 x 150 pixels.  The smaller, the better, as we can fit more on the page.
3. You may not use bases :C  sorry, but it's not your own work, so we can't put it up.

But that's it!  Traditional, digital, pixel art--anything!  Draw Fletcher in different styles so that he may be all over our front page :'D.
Tip:  When in doubt, go chibi!
Thanks again!
Pika.

Frequently Asked Questions - F.A.Q. !Finally! I chose the most frequently asked questions and I answered them. Hope this dispelled all your doubts. If you have any - write them down!
-------------------

Why lady2?
It's very easy - or so stupid. As a child I watched over and over again Lady Oscar on tape (yes, yes - cassettes are my childhood ...). By registering here it occurred to me that I would like be the second lady

How long have you been drawing?
It's such an obvious question. Isn't it? I will answer like the most - from when I was a little girl. Although it used to be different ... But when it came to draw something in the school, for colleagues, etc. all appealed to me. Even my mom, who needed drawings for her work. Seriously I decided to wake up and start develop my style in 2009. And so to this day I'm not stoping doin' so ...

Have you ever attended to any art school?
No. Never took any art classes. Although I attended some classes - but they ju

For What It's Worth...

Journals / Personal

"For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again." - Benjamin Button
