Texture Your World ContestTell us the story of your world in textures!
We are surrounded 24 hours a day by objects that have texture, they may be smooth or bobbly, old or new, bold, bright, shiny or dull. You might see a texture every day and never notice it until you start looking. Do you sit at a desk that's textured, or pass an interesting tree on the way to work or school?
We want you, in the form of a triptych (thats 3 images forming a larger image see example here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triptych ) to tell us the story of your textured world. Each individual texture should stand on its own, both as a useful resource and as a cohesive part of the whole story. What story you tell through your texture triptych is up to you - but they must be textures that tell a story of your world in some way.
There are 3 categories for this contest, each of which you can submit to twice.
Digital stock
These are textures created digitally by

Just For Fun Challenge #2Chinese Zodiac Challenge
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
February 10th is Chinese New Year - Year of the Snake!
This Challenge is just for fun and any one can enter - you do NOT have to be a member of the group!. The theme is Chinese Zodiac. You can find your own zodiac, or choose other!
Just to make things difficult, we are going to throw in a mandatory stock! Yep, just because we can! No, the real reason we are doing it this way is to see the many beautiful interpretations on this stock. You do not have to use them all, but you must use at least one! The stock can be found here:

now the other catch to using this mandatory stock is it CANNOT BE THE BACKGROUND! you can use it as part of a background scene, you can use it as a main focus, you can use a single element out of the image however, the image

Demonstrably Deviant: Issue VIIAbout
Sometimes we meet members of DeviantART who are just plain cool. They leave critique, they make great art or write great stories, they participate in groups and are generally just active and fun to be around. They also don't get any attention because being cool means you don't need attention to keep being cool. This interview series is meant to give all of you a small glimpse into the minds of these demonstrably deviant members. Twice monthly, I'll interview one of these deviants and feature work from their gallery. If you'd like to see someone interviewed for this series, just shoot me a note

with the subject "Demonstrably Deviant".

Everyday we're CV'ingAs a Community Volunteer - I do as much or as little within the community that I feel comfortable doing. We're not pressured to do this and that, we don't even have to give a Daily Deviation every day, we choose how we promote our selected galleries/chats and forums and we're not fixed to any specific rule on how much or how little we do. But I do believe that it's important to share with you just what the community volunteers do and why we do it. More importantly it's so easy to get lost on this site full of many people - and miss out on the awesome that's going on. So I'm going to share with you exactly what the latest awesome is...
