Hello! There's been a lot going on and I wanted to share a few updates from the Community Relations Team :)


First off, The communityrelations group has been on hiatus and recently, under construction but will be relaunching very soon! So look forward to getting all your updates from our team there! We're very excited to get the group up and running again and reconnecting with our members :heart:

I also want to take this time to thank some of our former team members who terms have recently ended. Please join me in sending lots of love and admiration to kingmancheng. TimberClipse, Oughter, cinyu, and isthisthingstillon.  Thank you for being part of this wild ride with us :heart:

There will be new members of the team selected as I'm currently going through the vast amount of applications. We also recently updated the application to volunteer, which you can find here but should you be interested in applying, please read this first. There are never enough positions for the amount of interest and because of that, I am working on developing ways to involve more community members in a variety of Community Relations project and events, so please stay tuned!

This last bit is more about a feature I've been doing for, what seems like forever -- Pimps and Whoas. It's been on hiatus for some time because the interest didn't seem to be there and putting it together was a herculean amount of work. My questions is, is this a feature you want me to bring back? Or should I focus on new features? your feedback is appreciated!

I would be remiss if I didn't alert you to some things going on around the community! It's not Pimps and Whoas level but here are some things I think you should check out:

 <da:thumb id="748641568"/>  LitBlitz is Here!Welcome to LitBlitz!

You asked for it, Community. You told us you wanted more DDs, more exposure, more interaction, so here's our response: for the next week there will be 4 Literature DDs every day - one from each CV!

They will be posted here for extra exposure, and we have a little community engagement game we'd like to play with you as well. So come on and check them out! Support your community and see who got picked!

Like the many flags we fly to represent who we are, Pride Month is about celebrating the strength of our plurality, the many identities that complete us and make all of us great, and how they come together to build our common humanity.
Occurring in the same month as the Stonewall Riots (on June 28, 1969) where people were beaten simply for being who they are, Pride Month is meant to be a celebration of coming together in light of this violent beginning. This year, DeviantArt is proud to honor deviants of all identities who, over the years, have helped build us into an ever-more inclusive community where we can just be.
Be who we are, without fear.
Be different, even if we can't always be in real life.
Be ourselves, celebrated and supported

 <da:thumb id="749912037"/>  Welcome to DA-Fashion!Welcome to DA-Fashion! I'm Queen-Kitty and I'm the current fashion photography CV! 
Many of the fashion groups on DA are no longer active, so I wanted to create a space for fashion photographers and models to get together and share their work, their knowledge, as well as to find inspiration in each other. DA-Fashion is a group for fashion photographers and models of all skill levels, ages, and backgrounds.  We like a variety of fashion styles, and if it's fashion, we want to see it! 
My co-founder Mrs-Durden was the fashion photography CV before me, and is currently a general photography CV. I am so excited to have her on the team, since we both have a deep appreciation for fashion photography, as well as different tastes for it.
There are currently 11 Gallery Folders (subject to change), some photos will fit in more than one category, and that's ok!  Pick the category that you feel fits your work best!  And if yo

  Just One More Question...v4
Dear all,
In February I introduced the first issue of this new journal series I am very excited about. I had this idea where I wanted to do a series that showcases the immense diversity of people we have as members here on DeviantArt. And I wanted to try something a little bit different with regards to interviews. Instead of interviewing multiple artists by asking them a series of in depth questions, I decided I would come up with just one question, and ask it to a large number of deviants from different artistic mediums, different backgrounds, different countries, etc. This way, you, the reader, get to discover the insights, opinions and experiences of a huge variety of fellow members all at once. I really hope you guys will enjoy this, last issue got a lot of amazing responses, please let me know if there are specific questions you'd like me to ask in future issues!

 <da:thumb id="750822976"/>  Underappreciated Art: A FeatureThere are many gorgeous works out there that could use a bit for recognition - for some unknown reason, they haven't yet reach a wider audience. We're here to remedy that - and recently, we created a poll where each of you could recommend several works that are not very well known, along with your own artworks that could use a bit of promoting. Here are the results!

  The TA-Feat LXVIIITraditional Art - Feature or ''The TA-Feat'' 
Vol.68

In this project I will feature only Traditional Artworks I found on the site.
I'm a Traditional Artist and I know how difficult is to receive more exposure here on dA because is the biggest art platform and every day thousands of works are uploaded here . 
Please, support these incredible traditional artists by watching , faving , and leaving some nice comments or constructive critiques !
Hope you will enjoy this feature !

  

  

  

 
  Some Stuff I Like: Miles MoralesThe Miles Morales-centered (but still filled with lots of Spider-Faves) animated movie is coming out in December this year and I'm very excited to see it. The trailers look gorgeous so I thought I'd spotlight some Miles pieces (and cosplays!) that caught my eye. Enjoy!
