Hello my dears!

OMGEEE!!

It was absolutely NUTS this past week and I wasn't able to write this when it happened, but on March 22nd I GOT A DAILY DEVIATION!!! I was sooo in shock! Here's the piece that was chosen!! ; w ; <333

:heart: :heart:

I'm going to tell you what made this DD that much more special to me: I was actually at Zenkaicon with my beloved friends Eiru and Umi :iconEir

Types of Dragon...(Not by me)
AMPHISBAENA - An African dragon with two heads, one at the end of its long tail and at the head end. It has a curiously bird like body with the feet of a rooster, and by grasping the tail head with the other is able to travel by rolling around in this hoop. Usually portrayed as having a scaly body and a pair of feathered wings. The modern day lizard was named for this known dragon.
AMPHITERE - This type of dragon can be found in Britain, the Middle East, Egypt, and several Latin American countries such as Peru. Their appearance is similar to that of a gigantic jade-colored snake with multi-colored feathered wings, and some also possess a single pair of front legs. In European and Middle Eastern countries, the Amphitere is known to possess all the secrets of the world save one, and are born with such fantastic powers as hypnotic eyes, which are usually invested in guarding the treasures of the land, like myrrh trees, gold, and other assorted riches. Even the bo

DD Feature
Some of my DD suggestion that weren't selected. Please show them some love, they really deserve it.

What is a photomanip Daily Deviation?Hello everyone! How are you?
deviantART policy defines a DD as an image that [a staff member or volunteer] finds impressive or otherwise interesting enough to deserve being brought to the attention of the community-at-large. In other words, it is a deviation that ROCKS and that we think everyone should have the pleasure of seeing!
DDs are important because:
They bring personal exposure to the artists who are featured AND, to a lesser extent, to the artists who suggest themThey bring attention to the photomanipulation community and show everyone what we are all aboutThey provide a way of touching or influencing people on a large scale by providing a powerful messageThey give people something to strive toward and serve as a source of pride.Thus, it is an honor and a privilege, but also a significant responsibility, to be able to award them.
While I select Daily Deviations, YOU are able to suggest excellent work (including your own) to b

10 Irrefutable Facts About deviantARTWritten with tongue firmly in cheek, from the point of view of someone who has been here for six and a half years, witnessing much dead horse flogging and dArama from a comfortable distance, armed with a sense of humour.

It was better last year/5 years ago/August 2000/before Jesus was a little boy.

Daily Deviations are shit.

They were so much better last year/5 years ago/August 2000/before Jesus was a little boy.

They're all porn.

Like almost everything else on dA.

Apart from the anime and furries, which are EVERYWHERE and impossible to escape.

All the Admins are NAZIs.

That's why they don't care AT ALL about the masses of hate art you report and wilfully ignore your complaints, probably because they have it in for you, personally.

But hey, dA is all about the corporate greed, stealing your money and not giving away enough cool stuff for free to millions of users.

Unlike last year/5

An interview with =ninaste and `d3rzi.
Tell us a little about yourself!
=ninaste: Alright, My name's Lau and I am 29 years old graduate Graphic designer but have been an artist for over 20 years I believe, I started in the art world at a young age but only about 3 years ago I discovered the amazing world of digital art and was instantly hooked, I love art in general, I have never studied anything about art, I have read about movements and stuff alike, I would nonetheless be very glad to someday take on some art classes maybe? I am self taught and very proud of what I've achieved in the little time I've been working with digital painting tools. I love to read too and I am very opinionated, that's not a great quality but even though this am one of the most easy going persons you'll ever meet, that doesn't take away that maybe someday I'll be a grumpy opinionated old
