If you are interested in purchasing some of my art, then please check it out!  

Thank you guys for supporting me and my art!! :D I really appreciate it.


:heart:



Hello all :wave:

It's 2013, and with the new year comes a new art challenge for me. I really enjoyed my 366 Days of Art and I am very glad I did it!  I was able to practice my art a lot. :) I would definitely recommend doing this if you would like to improve your work!

I didn't make a lot of finished art pieces last year though, with so many studies, quick sketches, and practice pieces. So this year I have a new challenge for myself and I'm going to keep a record of things here so that I keep myself accountable!

My 2013 challenge is to make three finished, uploadable pieces of art that I will post online each month. So that is hopefully 36 new artworks by the end of the year. I will upload all of these to dA and post thumbnails as I go.

I hope everyone has a great year. Time to make some art!! lol :D :dance:

I've decided to do a project this year. I need to become more active with my art and learning. I have the time, I just get lazy often and I don't do it! This year I am going to try and change that. So I've started this project for myself and hopefully I will be able to stick to it! I will be keeping track of the art I make here by writing down the date and what I did that day.  Hopefully it will keep me more accountable. :D Anyway, I will post links to works as they are uploaded.

Wonderful Artworks!

EDIT--Results---> [link]

:star::star::star:After 8 hours, voting is now closed- Thank you to all who helped! Top 3 winners will be announced soon :)

First of all THANK YOU to everyone who joined the contest and took part in any way. Every entry was truly great and I hope you all enjoyed creating your works! :hug: If your entry did not make it here, please do not be upset or feel discouraged. If nothing else, you have an awesome new artwork to add to your gallery, so thank you for joining!

I wish I could feature all the entries here, but with 333 entries, I would exceed the limit! :wow:

So with that said, I need everyones help picking the final three winners.
There are three equal grand prizes:
:bulletpink: 400 dA Points :points:
:bulletpink: 65 dA Points from ~llamablaster :points:
:bulletpink: Feature from =gabbyd70 *Kachumi *sabanna*JDarnell~Crazypurplebat
(There is no 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in this contest. They are all three the same prize.)

:star:How voting works::star:
Anyone can vote, both contestants and non contestants.
(Please just don't vote for yourself.)
~Please pick your TOP 3 favorite entries that you think should win a grand prize.
~Write down the numbers (found next to the images) and post it in a comment on this journal.
~Comments will be hidden as they come in so the voters will remain somewhat anonymous.

IMPORTANT! If your piece has made it to the Top 24, please DO NOT ask anyone to vote for you. Please do not post a journal, send notes, tell others to vote for you via comments, etc. If it is discovered that you have asked people to vote for you then your work will be disqualified. Let's try and keep this as fair as possible!! :)


Once I feel I've received a good amount of votes,
I will tally up scores and the winners will be announced!

:rose:Girl with a Flower Contest:rose:

Hello Everyone :wave:
I haven't hosted a contest in a long time, so I figured I would host a little contest since I have some points. :D

The objective is simple. Draw a girl with a flower! It can be one flower or it can be many. It can just be a simple flower in the hair, a flower incorporated into her jewelry, a flowery pattern on clothing, a flower tattoo design, a flowery background, or she can simply just be holding a flower. It's up to you. Let's just see what beautiful art you can make with this idea. Here are some great examples by some amazing artists- [link]


:bulletblue:R U L E S:bulletblue:
(Please read all these rules, if you still have questions, leave a comment :D)
  • You may make a drawing or painting and it may be made either traditionally, digitally, or a mix of both.
  • It can be one flower or it can be many. Your work just must contain a girl with a flower.
  • One entry per person.
  • Entries must be new. (uploaded on or after 10/21/11)
  • No deviations that need a mature content filter will be accepted.  Also no blood, gore, or other frightening imagery.
  • To enter, upload your piece to dA and please put a link to this journal in your artist's comments (the text section under your deviation) and say you are entering the contest. Then note me with a link to your piece.


:bulletblue:D E A D L I N E:bulletblue:

:bulletblue:P R I Z E S:bulletblue:
(Please let me know if you would like to donate a feature or other prize to the winners. It would be very much appreciated :aww:)
Three winners will be chosen based on how aesthetically pleasing the pieces are and they will each receive these prizes:
:bulletpink: 400 dA Points :points:
:bulletpink: 65 dA Points from ~llamablaster :points:
:bulletpink: Feature from =gabbyd70 *Kachumi *sabanna *JDarnell ~Crazypurplebat


:bulletblue:E N T R I E S:bulletblue:

I'm excited to see some beautiful art! :D I hope everyone who joins will have fun. Make it less about winning, and more about making a piece of art that you are happy with and that you enjoy creating.
