PE: Community Week PLZ AccountsCommunity Week - PLZ Accounts

Overview

Can you spot the difference between

and :icongladlikeplz

If you hover your mouse over it, you’ll see that the first is a link to a deviation (http://fav.me/d5judp5), while the second is an icon for a special type of account called a PLZ account.
PLZ accounts are deviantART accounts made for the sole reason of being an emoticon. Anyone can make these accounts. (For more information on making PLZ accounts, see this previous Project Educate journal http://fav.me/d3jjwiv.) The deviant chooses an account name that represents the image he/she wishes to display, and usually adds the phrase ‘PLZ’ at the end, so other deviants are aware that that account exists to be an emote (in the example above, the account name is “gladlikeplz”).
To use the PLZ account, you merely

This is the icons I use the most and also all the icons I have saved in my "helpplz". I find new ones almost every day so I might have to update this now and then.

Warning: This will be long, weird and slightly.. sssexiii :iconsexybrowsplz:
There will be many categories so that you rather easily will find them all or at least kinda get the hang on how I use them hahahah
Also they might be in weird categories and some of these fit in more than one category.. It's also in the middle of the night here so I'm tired while doing this hahah ... but yeah.. Most of it should be okay

Critique Contest: ALL Mediums!About
In my opinion, critique is commentary on art or literature aimed at giving direction for improvement, encouraging artistic growth, and promoting education. These three elements are vitally important to any artist, in any medium because they provide a cornerstone for advancement.
On deviantART, we see entire communities dedicated exclusively to giving and receiving critique because artists of all levels understand the benefits of critique. February's Solutions Sanctuary project is focused on critique because many, many people complain that there just is not enough of it on dA. Well, time to put your keyboards where your mouths are, my fellow deviants!
For this contest, I challenge you to give at least one other deviant a critique. You may use the critique feature or leave critiques in comments. You may critique work from a group, from your watchlist, from the

Our journey to a better self--Contest/MotivationHave you ever felt not good enough? Not skinny enough? Do you look at other people in envy, wishing you looked as good as them? Are you never happy with how you look, physically? Do you jump on that scale and ever dread the number that will pop up in front of you?
Well, let's change that! :iconhontoplz:

Avatar: TLA FeatureAvatar: The Last Airbender - DD Feature
Avatar: The Last Airbender is a landmark American cartoon that takes place in an Asian-influenced world. The characters are able to use martial arts to control the four elements.

HEY GUISE, I HERD YOU LIEK POINTS? CONTEST!!AND PRETTY POSTCARDS, PAINTED PICTURES AND PANDAS!!
(Actually, no real pandas, but it fit with my fabulous alliteration..)
So, what you need to do: Draw any of my original characters! Pretty easy, right? There's no theme (unless you want one

), so you're pretty free- as long as you keep the character recognisable, haha. When you're done, you can post a link here or Note me, whatever. ^_^
Guidelines:

You can draw as few or many of my OCs as you like, and you're welcome to draw them with your own

You can re-design their clothes and hair if you feel the need.

It must be new, original work. No bases. (That's kind of my only definite rule.)

Just visual stuff, puriisu, no lit this time! D:

You may enter as many pictures as you like, but quality over quantity! I'd prefer one awesome, colourful pic than two quick sketches

Its cool to see them interacting, bein

DDs: Take it easy!Hi folks!
First off, thank you so much to all for the great response I got in my latest journal, it has been the most commented one in this mini series so far and I can guess why. I know is a theme many can relate to, and I know as I've been there too. This journal will be half a continuation from the previous one and also some kind of reply.

Write and Revise Part 2To Revise
This portion of the contest is open to anyone who is not judging. It is best f you have already submitted something to revise in the first part, but if not you can note =VertigoArt with the piece and he will determine whether or not you may participate with that piece. Ideally the piece you are revising is a free write that you are taking from conception to perfection, but any piece that is not polished fully will do.
The winner of the first portion of this contest will be on even ground with everyone else in this portion.
The deadline for entries is December 7, 2012

Rules
Entries must include a link to this contest article in the artist's comment.

New deadline just cause I want more entries. c:

November ThankstivityIt is easy to point out the flaws....
Cliques, lack of communication, bad art that gets too many views, good art that doesn't get enough views, crappy DDs, and on and on and on. The complaints people have about deviantART could fill a book the length of the Bible, but November is a month for remembering what we have to be thankful for and so I challenge you, Solutions Seekers, to take a look around and find at least three things about deviantART that make you thankful for the community.
The Challenge
Create a deviation or journal that explores at least three reasons you're thankful for deviantART. It can be anything from tutorials and other resources to friends you've made to great art you've stumbled across to a favorite group. Whatever it is that keeps you coming back, I want to know about it.
Rules

One entry per deviant.

For this challenge, no mature content please. Let's make

100 points giveaway

Journal Entry: Mon May 21, 2012, 6:00 PM

CONGRATS, =Fauwnii! The winner of the raffle!
Screenshot here

Sorry for giving the results so late, I wanted to hold the raffle in Livestream so the results were believable.

THANKS EVERYBODY FOR ENTERING!
I'll hold another one soon enough, I hope 8D

--------------------------------------_{Just 3 more weeks of suffer--- studying, and I'll be able to resume the commissions! I would right now but most of you might have noticed how I'm in a style crisis, and I don't want my stupidity to show on commissions.

And I also found myself procrastinating by randomly giving points to lovely people. I don't need points right now, and I'll give away the few I have slooowly. Stay tuned for next giveaways~
To participate, +fav the journal. Yeah, that's it. If you want to comment, well, that's really nice of you ;u;
This is not only for my watchers, hohoho. but if you want to take a look at my doodles, I'd be honored XD
I'll use a random number generator to decide on the winner, and I'll show you the screenshot.
Results will be out in a week.

_{Please, don't use alternate/past accounts to +fav the journal. That's rude and it takes away the opportunity from others. Be nice, people. :>}

Not to waste this journal, I'll feature some sensational artists which I think deserve much more attention.
