I don't know how to break this to you.I'm really tired of only being able to submit one jpg in to a deviation. My art is often an adventure and the art is in the adventure.

deviantART doesn't allow me to publish that.

That's an easy thing to fix, technically. It just has big implications. But I think we should just do it and see what happens.

How?
It would mean that you could publish things made in Stash Writer as deviations. Which breaks the promise that when you click a deviation, all that results is a deviation. It could be an entire publication, like $techgnotic's articles.
We're pussy footing around this change within the company, and today while attempting to publish my art work for the fifth time lately I've just effing had it. I haven't posted to deviantART since the summer because of this.
And my current gallery? It's a sham compared to the work I've been doing th

About #seniormentorsSome time back now, I was trusted by `lazybutt to step up as the founder of #seniormentors; a request I accepted as an honor. This group pre-dates the group platform of deviantART--I wanted to be a part of #seniormentors when it was `seniormentors. The purpose behind this group has always been focused on mentoring the community in creating quality work--by having all the tools they need to achieve their best potential. As the current founder, I would like #seniormentors to be the hub for seniors of the community to portray the best of dA and feature tutorials that help learning artists improve.
Through my years on deviantART, I have noticed how vital ticked off deviants can be if their "powers" (increased visibility in the community) are focused on positive growth. I've asked seniors why they think they're a senior and many have no clue why, some have an idea, but all have made an impact in the community. I'd like to give seniors more purpose through this

Election 2012I suppose it's a little odd.
However, it may help to know that I was a Poli-Sci major in university. It's also possible that because the US and Canada are neighbours, I involve myself in your election but regardless of the reasons, here I am, the day before, wishing I had a vote to cast.
I have watched each and every debate and for you poor sods that watch my twitter, you've witnessed my running commentary. Alas, I'm Canadian and cannot vote tomorrow but for each and every American that can, I implore you.. SHARE YOUR VOICE.
I speak from no agenda. If I had a vote, I would undeniably cast it for Obama but that is my personal decision and I base that solely on what I believe and hold dear.
As a Canadian, I am plagued by the statements that Canada has no National Pride or Identity and the USA has an amazing set of both. I love the idealistic vision of Naitonal pride but let's face it, the US voter turn out rate is so low it's embarrassing. I have spoken wit

On the topic of new CV's and #devart/#dAmnSo I've been looking at the general response to two particular new CV's that have been put in their positions recently. It's apparent that a lot of people on dAmn don't like these people. Mostly the people who frequent #devart. I've heard various responses and seen a whole gang of quotes, screenshots and to a certain extent... deactivation.
My only reaction to the whole thing has been: You people are fucking surprised?
You're actually surprised that some people you don't like or considered absolute nuisances became volunteers? Some of you are even outraged?
Yeah... tell me more how you've always really cared about the outcome of dA's community. I could understand it if it was a major slip-up or just someone being an asshole and picking people out of spite... but I have an idea that $Moonbeam13 knows what the hell she's doing. I've witnessed reasons to trust her judgement and I've got reason enough to understand if it doesn't work out with the new CV

Apparel Collection: Inside VoicesWords are full of meaning, and the characters themselves are fun to think of as individual characters (literally!) in a dialog that speaks the words. I envisioned this shirt as being worn by someone with an eclectic team of friends, working with them on a common collaboration. It’s always exciting to work together, and doing so never fails to bring out the best qualities in everyone in the group. I can’t recommend it enough. Band together with your fellow artists, and make big things happen.
This piece started out as a thought scrawled on a sketchbook page. It sat for some time, and when searching my sketchbook for unfinished ideas, I happened to stumble across it right at the perfect time. This piece had the fun challenge of making characters out of the physical characteristics of the letters themselves.
The "d" is a perfect girl with a feather in her hair.
The "e" is a funny, little monster with a gaping mouth.

February EMTC! + 18 Entries! + CLOSED!

Lots of great entries! Let the judging commence!

Gothic

So, it's February again. The month of cupid, hearts, and single people rebelling against the materialistic importance put on Valentine's Day. I will let someone else host a contest with that theme.

Me, I want to see darker pieces for this month.

Now, this doesn't mean I want to see a bunch of emos lamenting about the sad state of their miserable lifes, although
those are completely acceptable.

The theme, however, is much broader than that. This term is used to describe a form of architecture, a sub group of Germany, Medieval times, a romantic horror genre of fiction, as well as things relating to the macabre and grotesque.

Show me some goth!

Need Input for Message Center RevampIn the deviantWATCH, we would like to switch to Feeds vs. Messages you have to "X" away one by one.
Now, I could use a wide net of input for message center revamp, but really I'd like to start with a narrow view of just deviantWATCH.
The deviantWATCH lives within Messages, which contains within it Feedback, Notices, etc. as well. deviantWATCH messages come in like crazy in your message center once you are watching 20+ people. And of the folks reading my Journal, I know you guys tend to have over 100+ people that you +WATCH.
Help me understand something. Because if we go off and make changes, we're going to have a riot on our hands. And no one needs that kind of sadness in their lives:
Why can't we switch to feeds?

Feeds would effectively index YOUR deviantWATCH in to deviantART's search engine, so your deviantWATCH Deviations would have all of the filters and capabilities of the home page. Categories, Newest, Most Popular 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month, etc. BUT a

Boosted Boards Best Thing Since Hover Boards

by +spyed, Dec 7, 2012, 7:34:46 PM
Journals / Fun / Technology

So it's the year 2013 just about, and we don't have hover-boards yet. I'm just as bummed as you. But there's great news, because at least we have Boosted Boards!! This kick-ass project got kick-started with $450,000+ and my buddy Garry Tan over at Y Combinator got me an intro after I rode his beta-model. I'm such a fan...

Here's me riding the new model, Garry will be so jealous I got to ride it first! These long boards have the goods to hit 20+ mph up hill!!! If the limiters were off they could hit 60mph, but I felt really safe on this thing. It's so smooth and easy to drive... I haven't skateboarded in over a decade and look how easy I make it look!

Meeting Sanjay (CEO) and his co-founders Matthew and John plus other members of the team solidified this project for me. These guys are super bright, 110% dedicated and working their fingers to the bone on this project. It's the ultimate gig; innovation, engineering, tangible design, incredibly fun! When $SGonzalez and I left we were buzzing for the rest of the week.

That night, I dreamed of the feeling of being on that board... something that only happens to me when I ski, or snorkel. It's exhilarating!

I've set up the boosted boards team with beta DreamUp.com accounts... if any of you make it in to the private beta version of the platform, look for commission work from these guys and you'll be a part of a really great project!

Also, while there... we met the DOUBLE ROBOTICS team who are building The Double. The Double is a "telepresence robot" allowing you to remotely move around a space anywhere in the world with a gyroscoped bot you can drive around! As shown below, people can see your face and talk to you! Something like an RC Skype-Bot! They're still $2g's but... the company is young so hopefully the price will come down!

Have a great weekend

Awesome

It may not be a hover board but I bet 100 Points that this could become a new trend some day. Heck this might even be some good groundwork for Hover Boards someday

How awesomely creepy...

That movie 'Surrogates' is on its way to actually becoming our new reality.

For now....we're heads on wheels...tomorrow it's all "I'm to lazy to live- I'll send out Robo-Me!!!!" XD
