What's Hot? Fan Art Traditional

Fri May 17, 2013, 1:30 PM
Recently deviantART has added a new way to browse art. This article series is intended to feature art found by using the What's Hot? feature.

I'm doing the article series as a way to promote smaller facets of the larger categories, in hopes of sharing what I find and maybe you'll like it.

Today is May 17th, and here's What's Hot? in this category:

Fan art > Traditional

Fan art based on copyrighted material made using traditional media such as paint, pencils, markers etc.

FriedDay Features #4: Sherlock Holmes

Fri May 10, 2013, 12:45 AM
Hello friends! This friday I'm going to feature some Sherlock Holmes fan artworks. After a long time with ^SylwiaTelari's nagging. I finally managed to watch BBC's sherlock Holmes series. And I have to admit that it's one of the best series I ever seen. I'm as obsessed as Sylwia now. (probably not…)
so here we go, I hope you guys enjoy this small feature and don't forget to spread some love for the featured artists. :heart:















TGIFD.


sigh




I also want to thank everyone for the feedback on this articles series. I hope everyone enjoying it and If you have any suggestion about a themed feature let me know. Thanks again!

ANYONE WHO EVEN THINKS ABOUT HURTING MY FRIENDS HAS TO GO THROUGH ME!!!
I have a friend who wants to die because someone is accusing her of stealing art
JUST BECAUSE HER FREAKING STYLE CHANGES!!!
What?
Are you people going to accuse me of stealing just because MY style changes?!
Hate me because I use bases because I can't draw dynamics?!
IF YOU ASSHOLES WOULD JUST PUT AWAY YOUR HATEFUL ACCUSING NATURES AND JUST LISTEN!!
You'd know she only posts new art avery little while and when she doesn't post she practices.
Working on her style!!
Finding new techniques that changes the look!!!
THIS FIRE BREATHING BITCH IS OUT FOR BLOOD!!
Go ahead!!
Say something mean or hateful about my friends!!
I'll sure as hell make you SORRY!!!!

The Doctor is Back!

Journal Entry: Fri May 17, 2013, 3:51 PM




Greetings, everyone! It has certainly been some time since I've posted any sort of update, hasn't it? I apologize for my silence lately. However, I return to you bearing good news. After taking some time to re-invent myself, ~TheFicDoctor is now back in business! Hopefully to stay this time. The reasons for my absence will be explained here shortly. Suffice it to say I have many new posts to make, some of which will be up today, and a new chapter of Tails & Cosmo: Darkest Night on its way. Prepare yourselves, friends. I'm back full time!

To begin with, I would like to inform everyone that my engagement to ~xXIttlesXx has ended. Our marriage was made official on April 6, 2013. Her title is now Mrs. Michelle Calvert! Adjusting to life with my new wife has taken up the vast majority of my free time and has restricted my writing. (Yes, honey, I'm blaming it all on you. ;)) I trust that my readers can sympathise and express patience with me. Both she and I are gradually establishing our lives together, and my schedule is now mostly open giving me the liberty to write as much as I please, within reason.

This leads me to inform you that my employers recently saw fit to terminate my position at my job based on false charges made against me by my general manager without prior warning. Without a job, this gives me considerably more free time. Despite the financial strain, I find this to be a mixed blessing as I now have more time to indulge in my hobbies. I am currently seeking a job which will better suit my skill-set. Hopefully my search will prove to be fruitful. Only time will tell.

On the subject of my story, I have yet to begin work on my next installment. Not to fret, though. The upcoming chapters will require me to establish a clear-cut timeframe in which all of my stories have occurred. As such I have begun creating a detailed timeline covering each and every one of my books. I have already completed the timeline for Sonic X: Eternal Angel which I will post for public viewing today. I will be dividing my efforts between completing the timeline and writing my next installment. Please be patient with me as I complete this project. I assure you that I will not leave my series incomplete.

Also, I have recently participated in another charity event requiring my services as a cosplayer. For the sake of suspense I will not disclose the subject of said coslplay. All details will be provided in the descriptions below the posted photographs. I trust that most of you will enjoy them, though.

Thank you all for being so patient with me and remaining with me despite my fickle schedule. It is a pleasure to continue entertaining you and I will be posting more very soon. As always, I wish you happy reading, and peace out! :peace:
