Deviousness Award Interview with ThiefoworldWhat is this Awesome Achievement?
The Deviousness Award is an accolade which is traditionally handed out
on the 1st of every month to one truly outstanding deviant.
The Deviousness Award for August2012 goes to ^Thiefoworld.
Thank you so much to ^Athos-of-Light for conducting this interview!

So, Don Jon, would you like to tell the world who you are and the things you do IRL and stuff?
Hi! My name is Jonathan but everybody calls me Thiefo, yeah even IRL. I'm a Graphic Designer doing some marketing work for a living. I also do some freelance work as illustrator. I've had the opportunity to work on some independent projects, children's books, mascots and a little concept art. I

A small F.A.Q.Hello dear person who is reading this.
I guess is because lately a lot of new people is visiting me (hi guys! :D) but there are some questions I've been asked a lot lately. A LOT. And even when it doesn't bother me at all to answer these everytime, I figured out I could just make a little journal so hopefully people will look at this before asking (one can dream right? :P)
Why are you a premium member "'till hell freezes over"? How did you obtain such thing?
Staff members and volunteers get a permanent Premium Membership. I was a Community Volunteer a few years ago (a Gallery Moderator as they used to be called then). Said PM remains even when one steps down, hence why I have this status.
As a trivia fact, they're not really endless, they just last for maaany many years ;)
Who made your icon? I've seen others similar before, is there a base of some sort?
My icon was made fo

Manga and Anime CV!Manga & Anime Community Volunteer!
Hello there, my loverlies! :iconaawplz:
I can't believe my eyes, but I've been granted the chance to be a Community Volunteer for the Manga & Anime gallery and community!

I still remember that incredible day back in December 2009 when I was given `Seniority and a week after I was taken in as Fan Art CV <3 Receiving this honor again gives me the same feeling of anticipation and eagerness, just like receiving gifts on christmas or on your birthday, it's a very special feeling <3 Thank you so much $Danie for entrusting me this precious chance to nurture the community <3
I'm so very grateful for this incredible oportunity, I will not let you down!
In my term, I plan on hosting repeating contests, interviews with various manga artists, features, games in chatrooms... and more! If you have any idea you'd like to see happening feel free to send me a note!

CV Interview 1: LyricannaHello ^Lyricanna, welcome to this special interview. Hopefully, by the end we’ll know more about you. Start by telling us about yourself. But only answer what your comfortable answering. Let’s start with these: name, age, gallery/forum/chat you moderate, current occupation, and any pets you might have.
I don't like using my real name, but everyone online calls me Rhys. I'm a 21 year old university student majoring in psychology. I currently look after Fanart and help moderate chats and forums occasionally. I have a cat named Kasuga who likes to sleep on my laptop

Cool! Now, what’s your favorite color(s)? Does that favorite color or colors show a lot in your art? Give an example if yes.
My favourite colour is purple but I find that it is not a colour I use in art often. Lately I've kept to earth tones in my character designs.
What is your favo

PE: Pixel Artist Interview with ValaSedai

Apologies for the delay with this article, this time I bring you an up and coming pixel artist called ^ValaSedai
:iconclefairykid: How did you get started in Pixel Art? Was it your first medium or did you work with something different before discovering it?
:iconvalasedai: Pixel Art was the third medium I explored, after traditional and then digital drawing and painting. Even though I have played a broad selection of games whose graphics are made mainly from pixel art ever since I can think it took dA to really introduce me to creating it myself. After stumbling across more and more wonderful pixel artists on here I couldn't resist and had to try it out myself as well.
:iconclefairykid: What is the thing you love the most about Pixel Art? What makes it stand out from other art mediums for you?
:iconvalasedai: The precise and minute way of having to place each pixel, the way even a single differently placed pixel can change t

deviantART's Birthday Hunt!Update! I know that a few of you are having problems, so I'll give a few clues:

Everyone involved in the Hunt here is a Community Volunteer.

One of the letters has something to do with their name.

Every thread should lead to the next thread, except the last and final thread which has no clue!
Though there is one currently going on in the chatrooms here, the +chats go hand in hand with the +forums, which means there is another hunt taking place to celebrate deviantART's 12th birthday!
This particular hunt focuses on just two letters only, in which one letter will lead you to a particular forum, and the other to a particular deviant. As each clue leads you to another forum, a new deviant, we are asking you to...

Jot the names of these people down.

Take down the name of the forum they posted in.

July Pixel DD RoundupHello everyone! So far, we've had some awesome DD features and some discussion about the definition of Pixel Art, which is interesting considering it's origins and where it's headed in the future. Also of note, I published some especially detailed DD Suggestion Guidelines since there has been a lot of requests for CVs to explain what they look for in a DD, you can find mine here: http://ClefairyKid.deviantart.com/journal/DD-Suggestion-Guidelines-PixelArt-315149565. I'd like to thank everyone for contributing with their thoughts and I'll be posting a follow up journal about the discussions soon. In the mean time, here are this month's DDs!

Daily Deviation Suggestion GroupsThere are many +Groups for many different topics, and Daily Deviations are no different! When it comes to suggesting Daily Deviations, there are a few +Groups willing to do so on your behalf. Before we get to these groups, however, there is one special group centred on Daily Deviations: #DD-Catalogue. This is a group that collects those pieces that are featured as Daily Deviations. It is a good place to find Daily Deviations of a certain art genre, resources and more, so feel free to check it out!

There are six Daily Deviation Suggestion groups that you could potentially join, and these are...
#Daily-Deviations, #DailyDev-Suggesters, #DD-ELITE, #DD-Factory, #GetDailyDeviations and #Worth-DDs.
The members of these groups will help to suggest your deviation for a Daily Deviation, but some issues should be addressed about them.

First off, Happy Birthday DA!

Just in case you still don't know, everybody is a premium member today! Yay!
So go and take advantage of your premium membership perks, and for instance you could go and write a journal using a snazzy skin, use some custom modules on your profile or request a critique. What are you doing still here?

So, for those who don't know, I conduct an interview each month with the Deviousness Award recipient, so far I've interviewed Timberclipse, Rahll, and Itti.
What I wasn't expecting when I started these is that one day I would be one of these recipients

Before such predicament ^Athos-of-Light stepped up and said

"I'll interview Thiefo this time!"

So I naturally said, ok...

So this is the result: [link] Check it out! (it ended up being more a mix of a serious and an absurd interview hah!)

In other news, thank you so muuuch to the people who have been contributing to my donation pool! In case you didn't know, those points will be used for a contest I'm planning. I hope to give you the full details probably middle or late this month.

I'm using a reward system, very alla Kickstarter, so you can check it out on my profile, I'm giving free requests, journal features and IDs. So this is a small feature of those who've donated so far. Thank you guys!
