I've been getting myself into some angry discussions. What for?

DA user *DeviantArtSecret. It's basically kind of a group. When you have some kind of secret, a problem you want to anonymously share, you'll send it to DAS' staff and they'll submit it anonymously for you.

I support this idea because I consider sharing a little bit of one's life to be art. Autobiography is art too, isn't it? This is it, just in less words, sometimes with grammar mistakes and weird fonts. Many people can relate to the secrets and many people comment supportively those secrets. DAS can make a difference for a lot of people who are lost and need some help.

Then comes "evil". Poeple who go on about how these secrets aren't art and that they "don't want to see this crap at the front page". You know how artwork gets to front page? When it's popular. The majority likes DAS. And who are the people that hate DAS? That's right, people who never get to the front page. People who are unfortunate in having no talent and submit to DA photos of ham & eggs they had for breakfast this morning, claiming this to be art. They complain about DAS belinging to facebook when it's in fact their images that belong to facebook.

Why are those people so blind with jealousy? Why can't they reach out and give a comforting hand to those who suffer?

Some of the DAS secrets may seem petty. 13 year old girl complaining her best friend is not talking to her. I may not have the same problems now but I know it's a huge problem when you are 13. There are other secrets too and I think that every single one of them deserves our attention. Each and every one of us went through a situation in our lives that we were unable to solve on our own, we needed help. It's the others who need help and look for it through DAS. I am ready and willing to give them as much comfort as I can. Are you?

Ofcourse feel free to disagree with my point ;)
Dear watchers,

I need to conduct a few interviews in next 2 days and I would like to ask for your help.

I am writing a thesis on gender stereotypes in art perception and I conduct interviews to identify the stereotypes. 

The interview takes about 30-60 minutes. You don't need any special knowledge to participate. I will ask you some general questions on how do you percieve male artists and female artists, then comes the fun part: you will be given several images and you will basically guess if the artwork was made by male or female and you will tell me why you think so.
Again, you need no special knowledge, I want truly YOUR opinion on the matter. Your identity will be strictly anonymous and data collected from the interview will be used only for my thesis' research purpose.

We can do the the interview via facebook chat, ICQ or Skype or any other chat platform (no video or voice, just typed chat). Just comment here or send me a note if you want to participate and which way do you prefer (Facebook, ICQ or anything else), plus add your contact so I could reach you.

AS A REWARD FOR YOUR TIME AND OPINIONS YOU CAN CHOOSE ANY IMAGE FROM MY GALLERY AND YOU WILL GET A PHOTO PRINT OF IT - SIZE 4X6 INCH - FOR FREE! (You need to add the print to your wishlist and make sure you filled the right delivery address in your settings.)

I need about 6-8 interviewees. First comes first served. I need to do the interviews ASAP during next two days, so the sooner you are available the more is the chance that I still need an interviewee for my research.

Thanks in advance to anybody who decides to participate!
As I sit here waiting for my dinner to finish cooking(and I guess while I eat it too) I'm going to copy Dia and toss some of my own headcanons at you guys cause why the heck not? This is info you guys may or may not need to know afterall. I don't know how many I'll do...I'll stop when I think I've done enough xD

1. My personal favorite is Mimi and Iris being supreme gossip buddies. They talk about damn near everything together and trust each other with a crap ton of secrets~

2. However...one of Mimi's favorite things to do is to come up with creative ways for Iris to confess to Rai but Iris doesn't really want the help.

3. Reni and Mona somehow just know when Iris is baking or cooking something special and are always there to be her taste-testers. But sometimes they do more tasting than they should.

4. Everyone gets together once a month at someones house for movie night.

5. That someones house is chosen by pulling a name out of a hat; the only name not in there is Ono's because she hates having people over to her house and no one feels like forcing her. So Iris's name is in there twice to make up for it.

6. Daisy likes to pull pranks on Souta for reasons she refuses to reveal.

7. Rai is all nice and quiet and keeps to himself all up until you try to hurt one of his female friends(or any girl for that matter) in front of him. Then you are probably going to lose an arm.

8. Despite her attitude and brattiness at home...Daisy is actually very well behaved at school and strives to always get good grades.

9. Daisy and Iris like to make pillow forts on Friday nights to start their weekend.

10. Mona likes to make up holidays just so she can have a party with all of her friends.

I finished eating and can barely keep my eyes open now? I'll probably regret this in the morning but oh well. Good night~

1. I seriously need to finish my page design on here. Not much we can do with it but seriously. My sub will have been a waste. That's more of a note to self.

2. My friends have always known that I have a problem deciding how I want to organize my art on websites. I also have a thing for social experiments... So I might be moving all my fan related work to a new account, leaving this one to be exclusively original content. 

If you wanna watch it just in case for journals, ~Whymzee would be my fan related account. I feel like fandom doesn't mix well with original content and deviantART needs a multi-account feature already. I get watchers who wait for me to post only my fan work... well, don't waste your time no more, ~Whymzee will be my fan-base. I think my fandoms are eclectic but still worth watching my new account for. I wanted to take a break from original content for a while and be a fangirl.

3. I wish I could find pokeman hangouts where people train/play competitively. :(   

4. ?

5. PROFIT




Any lucid dreamers out there? it would be interesting to know how many artists practice it as well. if you are, or know of any lucid dreamers on deviantart, please let me know, i would love to share some info and experiences. if you are interested in starting, let me know as well. im sure i can help. peace out.
So, I haven't had a lucid dream since my sophomore year of high school back in 2007. But this one was really weird.

After becoming lucid and doing some crap, I got trapped in an elevator which took me to an attic on some school (not sure if it was my college). I walked out and it looked like a huge flea market run by one guy. So I'm looking around, and I find several thing:

A raccoon soft mount
A blonde coyote pelt
A red fox pelt
A silver fox pelt
A grey wolf pelt
and some other fox pelt.

I normally don't remember dreams, and I rarely lucid dream less. I was SO about to buy all of them (especially the raccoon soft mount) because all of it was unusually cheap. And then I woke up. XD

So if I see any of the things in my dream for sale, I'm going to buy them, even if I have to do Bill Me Later and slave my ass off paying them off. Because it means something. XD




Also, I'm going to take my sale items and list them on eBay since no one is interested. If no one says anything by next monday, I'm listing it, and you won't be able to buy individual things.

So good luck. :giggle:

:bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletblue::bulletblue::bulletblue::bulletblue:

I really need help with my game and stuff...

The least you guys can do is help me make foes and NPCs

I had no idea what to do with the items, so I used supernatural puns!

Just send me your designs and I'll credit you thanks...

If you send me a character who is to be in the main role, I'll make him/her a main character if he/she is good enough...

:bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletgreen::bulletblue::bulletblue::bulletblue::bulletblue:

It's hard making a game :(

I'll be posting reference pics of the characters soon and other extra stuff. You'll know the design you gave me will be in the game if I draw it/him/her if I draw it/him/her.

And I found out how to make the purple thing below, blue!
It's amazing!

It's cool!

Experimenting is gut :)
