Recently, I announced changes to Daily Deviations in this journal and I'm happy to say that the response has been favorable. To review, we have made the following changes:
The hard-coding of these new guidelines is now in place (special thanks to ZombieCoder for that ).
These changes are part of an ongoing initiative to better our Daily Deviation selection and ensure they are reflecting the variety and talent that exist here in the deviantART community.
What I would love to discuss next, is Daily Deviation descriptions! I have my own opinions that I wrote about here regarding them. However, I want to know how you, the deviantART community, feels about them.
I'd like some thoughtful discussion so we can really break down if they are helpful, required, a nuisance etc. So please think about the following questions and give me your input in the comments below:
Do you feel descriptions on daily deviations should be mandatory? If so, why?
Do you find descriptions distract from the artwork?
I believe that writing descriptions is an art form itself so if someone isn't comfortable writing something, I'd prefer they leave it black, agree or disagree?
What makes a good description for you? What are you looking for when you read them?
Any other thoughts or suggestions you have I would love to hear!
I'm really looking forward to the conversations around this
Every other week the Community Relations team is going to gather in our chatroom #communityrelations and critique artwork! Each event will focus on a different genre/medium and this week - February 22, 2011 at 3pm Eastern/12pm Pacific/8pm GMT it will be Manga/Anime.

1. Daily Deviations
Recently, I announced changes to Daily Deviations in this journal and I'm happy to say that the response has been favorable. To review, we have made the following changes:
a> The "3-month rule" is now the "6-month rule" meaning an artist cannot receive another DD if they have had one in the last 6 months.
b> Daily Deviation selectors are limited to a maximum of one selection per day. This has been put in place to focus on quality vs quantity.
The hard-coding of these new guidelines is now in place (special thanks to ZombieCoder for that ).
These changes are part of an ongoing initiative to better our Daily Deviation selection and ensure they are reflecting the variety and talent that exist here in the deviantART community.
What I would love to discuss next, is Daily Deviation descriptions! I have my own opinions that I wrote about here regarding them. However, I want to know how you, the deviantART community, feels about them.

Honest Art Challenge
Different team members are taking over the @Community group and this week it's @danlev! Copy and paste these 20 questions about being an artist... and answer them honestly! Title your journal "Honest Artist Challenge". 1. A genre or style I've tried and decided isn't for me: Digital art and I aren't really suited, I like to physically hold a marker 2. A common art advice I find hard to follow: Practicing every day is one I'm working on right now but especially as you get older and you have more "responsibilities" (aka kids) it can be hard to carve out time so I've started scheduling doodle time! 3. My biggest art-related fear: Currently, that I will ruin my line art with my colouring :D 4. A project I've been putting off: Finishing some art cards for friends (and shipping the gift I made for @Heidi) 5. A subject I feel like I'll never master: Hands.. everything forever will have paws or hands in their pockets :D 6. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate my skills as an
