I had the wonderful opportunity to chat with @SacriHeid for the February edition of The Art of Adoptables interview-feature series [EMOTE]We discussed the different (and sometimes surreal) places from which they draw inspiration, their intentional choices and method in building their unmistakeable visual brand, and how they continue to nurture their creative instincts, among many other things. Check out the full interview by clicking below and please show it a whole lot of love by faving and commenting [EMOTE] [DEVIATION]

The photos I wish I had taken - 26

Yesterday

This blog gathers some of the photos of other Deviants, seen or found during these last few days, which have captivated me and which I have placed among my favorites. I would have been proud to create them myself, if I had had the opportunity, the technical means or simply the sufficient skill or artistic eye. Don't rush, there's no hurry: take the time to look at them I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Ce journal rassemble quelques-unes des photos d'autres Deviants, vues ou trouvées pendant ces derniers jours, qui m'ont séduit et que j'ai placées parmi mes favoris. J'aurais été fier de les créer moi-même, si j'en avais eu l'occasion, les moyens techniques ou tout simplement le talent ou le sens artistique nécessaires. Ne passez pas vite, rien ne presse : prenez le temps de les regarder J'espère que vous les apprécierez comme je les ai

[DEVIATION] Hello everyone and Happy Tuesday [EMOTE] [GIF] I hope everyone has had a good start to the new week and the last week of February. It's almost March and the first month of spring, something nice to look forward to. [EMOTE] I have some updates that I want to share with you... Normally I'm a very private person, but I've chosen to share this because it will probably affect my time online. As some of you know, I've been complaining for a long time that I'm so tired and exhausted all the time. I myself have thought that it's because of my insomnia period that started in April last year. I've always had periods of insomnia so I didn't think much of it. But lately I've noticed that my body started to behave strangely in different ways, but I thought it would pass so I tried to ignore it. (Yes! there's a reason why we nurses and doctors are known for being the worst patients I guess) [EMOTE] But anyway, last week I went to the doctor and they immediately took a bunch of

A compilation of winter outfits

2 days ago

I already did this with autum, so now I'm doing it with winter. You'll see from the photos below that winter equals to the period during whitch I have to wear the following: furry coat, leg warmers, lined boots. We will call spring the day I have to switch these 3 items. I - Luala Here's a recap of the season Realises it's winter so puts winter coat on but forgets to put goat legs on (leg warmers) so gets cold. Starts wearing the goat legs and is forced to show legs in every photo from then on. Gets happy at glove and bag colour match. Tries new thrifted coat and gets disapointed, goes back to grey coat. Thifts pair of fleece lined leggings, leg colour options get down to 1. Realises the green fake fur collar isn't just a photo prop but the best thing ever, starts wearing it and swaps back to green gloves and bag (bag on Mister because shoulder pain). Breaks old lacy umbrella. Gets mad at always wearing the same coat on photos, tries to put together an outfit that wouldn't

How to draw Minty The Garden Dragon!

Jul 1, 2024

The theme for this month is Garden Dragons! 🌱 For this tutorial I will be featuring Minty The Mint Dragon as one of my favorite Garden Dragons to draw! Follow the steps and create your own artwork! Post your drawing on DeviantArt with the tag #GardenDragonTutorial and get a Profile badge! I mainly sketch my work in Painter SAI2. A lot of my color work is done in Corel Painter using the "Mona Lisa" brush. :bulletgreen: What is a Garden Dragon? A garden dragon is a plant-like dragon that lives in a garden pot. I originally called them "Bonsai Dragons." I have evolved them since the first creation of Bonsai Dragon and have made several different variations of them like Minty Dragon. :bulletgreen: Why this art style? I love to read and make comics of my own and have developed this cute art style to fit my very own comic that I run called Lucky Dragon and Friends. I post this comic regularly here on DeviantArt as well as on WebToon. Some of the recent episodes of my comic

Resources For Artists: Colour Scheme Tools

Jan 4, 2013

Colour Scheme Tools So I have been thinking of doing a few articles apart from feature articles to link some useful resources for artists and this is the first one of these. While this is a mini one, it's helped me a lot on several occassions.Sometimes it gets confusing to decide which colours to choose. "'Should I go with a turquoise and a gold for the face? What about the room? I was going for a chic cool modern palette which is minimalistic!" Surely, a lot of us have gone through those decisive moments. Below are some colour scheme tools that would help you with your colour scheme choices. Click the titles or the links in asterisk to go...

Fan Art Friday: Heated Rivalry

0 min read

This week’s Fan Art Friday is turning up the heat with Heated Rivalry, the beloved hockey romance by Rachel Reid. From stolen glances across the rink to years of tension that refuse to cool, this story gave us one of the most unforgettable rivalries in romance. The chemistry between Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov is electric, complicated, and impossible to ignore. What starts as competition on the ice becomes something far more intense behind closed doors. Whether you fell for the sharp banter, the secret meetings, or the slow unraveling of two guarded hearts, this series has given fandom plenty to scream about. Time to celebrate your favorite moments, scenes, and interpretations through fan art! [DEVIATION] “You’re my favorite,” Ilya whispered. “I’m not ashamed of this. I’m not ashamed of you.” - Shane Rivalries this heated don’t just stay on the page -- they leap off it. This week, we’re celebrating the art, the angst, and the sparks that make Heated Rivalry
