DD Suggestions


If you'd like to send me any DD suggestions for artwork within the dA Related galleries then please do so by note. Please follow these basic guidelines when suggesting:
  • Write "DD suggestion" or something similar as the note subject
  • Make sure the deviant has not received a DD within the last 3 months
  • Include a thumbnail of the artwork in the note
  • Try to write a little something about why you feel the piece deserves a DD - just a sentence or two is fine
  • You can only suggest a maximum of 5 deviations per note
Thanks!

Intro

I need more coffee. Seriously. On with the updates.

The Gallery

I've been thinking about having a dAR newsletter. Please let me know what you think of that idea and any thoughts you might have for the content of it here.

If you have any ideas or thoughts for the dAR gallery that aren't related to the newsletter or if there's anything you want to discuss then please send me a note or e-mail at dczed@volunteers.deviantart.com and if you have an issue or problem then please try to be polite when bringing it up or you might find me quite a bit less co-operative than you may have hoped ;)

The changes to the CSS galleries have been officially proposed though I'm not sure yet when the changes will come about. The proposed set up is as follows:

dA related > CSS > Complete CSS > Journal
dA related > CSS > Complete CSS > Gallery
dA related > CSS > Complete CSS > Matching Sets
dA related > CSS > Designs > Journal
dA related > CSS > Designs > Gallery

I'd like to thank everyone for their feedback on this matter, you've all been extremely helpful and I hope that you're happy with these proposed changes. I'm aware I can't please everyone, so I've had to run with the majority here, but I do apologise if you're disappointed in any way with this set-up.

There will be more information on these changes when I have it :) the Stamps categories will be undergoing changes at some point soon as well, as I mentioned, and I'll be looking into that more and asking for further feedback on that soon.

Daily Deviations

I'm aware that the DDs I feature are currently much less than 'daily' but that will change and they will become more regular soon with any luck. See, I've been quite ill recently (for the past 2 and a half weeks, in fact) which was the initial reason for the decline in DDs. Now I'm getting back into full-swing mode and so you can expect to see more from me soon.

I'd also love some more suggestions for the dAR galleries :aww: For guidelines on how to suggest DDs to me, please check the module box to the right of my journal :)

Pimpage & Contests

It's time to get supporting!

The Weekend to end Breast Cancer

If you're into CSS then you might be happy to know that ^Staged is having a CSS contest! Fancy winning yourself a 6-month sub and a print from the talented lady?

Click here for more details!

Having a contest in the dAR gallery? Perhaps you're looking for a new devID or a new CSS too? Send me a note and I'll pimp it for you here!

In finishing...

In case you missed it, my e-mail address has changed. You can now contact me on dczed@volunteers.deviantart.com

TTFN!

A Laugh

:w00t: I'm not ill anymore!!

Ok so about the title... `Tepara and I were having one of those conversations where we basically just talk a load of crap and laugh about it. Fun times. It came around to talking about completely outrageous things ;) but, in the long and short of it, I said I wanted a stamp that said "I swallow" so guess what. She made one.



I will now be labelled for life. Thanks :lol:


In other news, give me a big pat on the back. I quit smoking :D I haven't had a whole cigarette in 8 days now. I'm so proud of me.



Yikes!

Oh no! It's a box with barely anything written in it!

:XD:

Oh yah... the dAR update journal will be up soon too :aww:

I'll Never Say

:rage: I'm still ill for fuck's sake :|

Things I'll never say. Anyway, I nicked this from ^Jules1983. The idea is, you write stuff that is directed at people you know but don't say their name. It can be people you know on or offline, both works. So! here we go :aww:

1. You ruined my life. You made me feel worthless and unwanted and it's taking so long for me to try and see that you were wrong. I hate you more than anything or anyone else in this universe, but still I hope you're alive so that one day we'll meet again and I show you just how strong my hatred is for you, you've always been a source of fear but I will make the tables turn.

2. A lot of the time I wonder where I'd be if you and I had never met and I always come up with the same answer. I wouldn't be here at all. You've given me strength, courage and always been there no matter what. In the past I've told you just how much I hate you and want you out of my life and you've done the same, we've hurt each other more than anyone else ever could, and still you're here keeping me going. No matter what I say to you or however much I have the ability to hurt you and vice versa, please never leave. I'll die without you. I want you there when the world ends, sitting with me, watching the stars fall.

3. You cause me so much trouble and you have absolutely no idea that you do, but I never want you to change because I love you just the way you are.

4. You've done so much for me that I will always feel like I owe you something, even if you say that I don't. You taught me so much and cared for me when it seemed like the world was turning its back. I guess I just want to say thank you.

5. You rock my world. I'm so happy that I know you, no matter how crap I feel you always know what to do or say or what not to say; you brighten my day. We've managed to create a very special bond with a strong connection and I really think I'd be sad for weeks if that ever got broken somehow. You make me feel like I'm someone and I truly adore you for that.

6. We argue so often it makes me wonder how we've managed to become (and stay) such close friends. We disagree on what seems like most things and piss each other off to no end and yet I'd defend you with all my might because I know you're worth that and so much more. I love you.

7. You could have been something much more than you were. You had such potential to be someone great but I have my doubts that you'll ever become what you could be. You were smarter than the rest of us and didn't want to be like the others. I knew that deep inside you wanted to leave like I did and I know that what you saw and felt still haunts you, but unlike me, you had nowhere to run to. I hope we can meet again sometime, I'd like to know how you are and what you're doing these days and if you're pursuing your talents. I always felt like a big brother to you even though you were 2 years older than me and I guess that feeling hasn't faded yet, I still want to know that you're alright and I want to protect you, despite the way you used to treat me and how cold you were. If you're still alive then I know I'll find you one day, you'll see.

8. You're special to me and we were close, but lately it seems like there's nothing to talk about. I hope we can sort that out in some way because I think you're so much fun and we can have such a laugh. Try telling me whats on your mind some day.

9. You're more like a brother to me than any of my brothers ever were. You look out for me and try to make sure I'm ok, you bring me ice cream when I'm feeling down and tell me things to make me laugh. You're forever telling me how much potential I have and that I should stop giving up on myself and although I have a tendancy to scowl at you and say you're picking at me, I need you to keep doing that because somewhere deep down I know you're right. I try my hardest to be there for you when you need someone too, but I know you're holding back sometimes for my benefit - don't. I can handle it.

10. It makes me sad that I never got to know you and that you weren't there to watch me grow and teach me the ways of the world. I want you to know that I miss you and I really hope I'm making you proud. You'll always be in my heart.

Intro

Hey there :aww: Firstly I'd like to apologise for the lack of activity from me. It's not exactly my fault though, I'm actually quite ill at the moment.

Well, on with it ay?

The Gallery

Thanks to everyone for all the input on the various journals and polls I have made about the dAR galleries. At this moment in time I don't have anything else to say about that but I'm hoping to have more information for you on that soon.

For those of you who have missed these journals, check here: [link]

For guidelines on how to suggest DDs to me, please check the module box to the right of my journal :)

Pimpage

Here's some things you should check out:

About Earth Day
Earth Day features
Anime Week project - Character Swap
Glamour Week interview with =DalaiHarma

In finishing...

And that's all from me for now - sorry it wasn't exactly bursting with information, but as I said, I'm quite ill at the moment so really I'm just dying to get to bed and sleep!

Until next time!

Discovery

[EDIT: I'm still not feeling very well, in fact i think I've gotten worse. I'm sorry for the lack of my presence... I know I'm usually around here and on MSN all the time but I just feel shite, basically put. Gimme another couple of days and I should feel better - I hope :| ]

I have discovered that no matter how crappy I feel, Caramelldansen can make me feel a lil bit better. I have it on repeat right now. Really loud.

So, I'm ill. I've been trying to fight it but it seems to have won. In addition to that, I'm having one of those days where nothing seems to be going right and it's really starting to bug me.

I've been making a list of things I need to have on my new computer and what it needs to be able to do... when I go to the computer shop I'm guessing they're going to tell me to get a mac, at which point I will make a face like this: :| I hate mac. PC all the way.

I'm also going to have to argue with the consultant... I can see it happening already. They're going to try and sell me Vista, which I will point blank not accept. I'm keeping XP probably for about as long as I kept '95 and '98, which is about a year or 2 longer than everybody else :aww:

I have the Adobe Creative Suite. It has everything. I'm really excited, but I gotta wait for the new computer before I can install it. Click that link then look at the "What's Inside" tab... that's what I got :D It makes me very happy. :excited:

Last thing for this journal, sorry for the lack of DDs from me. Most of my energy is going into getting better at the moment, and the rest is going into working out what to do with the gallery changes.


About me

Alrighty so I have a few new watchers and a few old watchers who probably don't know all that much about me, so I thought I'd write a little section so people can get to know me better :aww:

First thing is that my MSN address is on my profile page, you're welcome to add me, but if you do then make sure you send me a message telling me your dA username or I'm very likely to block you very quickly ;p

So, my name is Dean (D for short) and I'm 19, turning 20 in June. I don't work so practically all of my time is dedicated to deviantART. When I'm not hanging around dA (which isnt often) I spend my time cleaning the house, learning German and working hard at my artwork. I have no idea what I want to do with my life.

I live with my lovely boyfriend Leo aka *VAngelLJ and his family in central England. It's not a very nice place where I live, but ya get used to it. I have a 5 year old son called Matthew who is adorable - aaand in before "OMG he's 5 and you're 19!?" ;) I also spend a lot of time with ~LeJacques, Leo's older brother. He's a good laugh, but he sucks at wii.

My favourite art style is vector/vexel which I've been practising for about 5 months now - time flies. I also really enjoy working with CSS and have been working on a very in-depth tutorial that will hopefully be able to teach people to make a basic journal layout. Teach them, not just show them how lol

My favourite pastime is buying prints, but with no spare money and very little wall space left I think it's about time I stopped doing that :roll:

I'm not a morning person, but after my first cup of coffee and listening to Alice Cooper's "Poison" at a high volume, I tend to feel much better. I've made a habit of listening to that song every morning after discovering how great I felt afterwards.

My favourite colour is green and blue follows close behind. I'm vegetarian. I'm Pagan. My fav food is pizza and my fav drink is coffee - best alcoholic drink is definitely vodka and coke.

I'm a very friendly person and genuinely want to help people - I'm very into charity and I always try to be there for people when they need me.

Any more you wanna know, just ask! Pleased to meet ya :D


Some recent favs
