Play the Adri Game We all get down and feel at some point in the year, month, week, and day.
How can it get better?
Play My Game
Get a few friends together and make a promise that somehow every single day you will tell each friend one thing that makes them awesome and unique individuals unlike no other. You're their friend for a reason, and their your friends for their reasons. You just have to let them know and hear them out.
I'm your friend for a reason, I don't want you to constantly feel bad. So let my words influence you positively when you feel down; I want you to know as a friend how awesome you are. I want you to feel that awesomeness for yourself, so I'll remind you every day of it.
So I'll play my game, and make it happen. You should do it too.
You can do it on twitter, Facebook, sticky notes on their desk, skype Im/calls. Let them know how much they mean to you and learn intimate details why you have these friends. Even if

Devious Minds: TopicalityDiscovering what makes us devious.

How did you first discover deviantART?

I was looking at art online when I was young, and saw `loish's work, it eventually led me to deviantART. I lurked for a while, then eventually joined!
What was it about dA that made you want to stay?

I wanted to post my artwork... however once I discovered chats, I learned about GMs (now CV's) and Daily Deviation suggesting. I had and continue to have the loving support that keeps me here, along with my ability to find and collect beautiful artwork- Tis it is all about the art!

What is the story behind your username?

At one point I wanted to do debate in high school, but I've gone off to do other things. I was thinking of good user names and was playing with a random word generator. It came up with the word Topicality, a word I remembered was used in debate. It's used in debate when one is g

Winners of the dA related Collaboration Contest!| Join #deviantART-Related | Chat in #dARelated | Browse ~darelated |

I announced the deviantART Related Collaborations Contest about two months ago, and during the time it ran, received about twenty different, amazing entries! As every entry was in some way a collaboration between two or more people (and some entered more than once), that means about 35 people participated altogether. It was great to see so many people, often from different mediums and areas of the site come together to collaborate and create something together.

Thanks so much to every single participant

Celebrating Diversity #1Welcome to this new series of Art Features! Even tho most of you are aware of the many many galleries and categories here on dA, I think most of us move in a sort of "comfort zone" between Galleries, Channels or Groups that provide us with a constant flow of new art. And sometimes we forget all the other great artforms, styles and media that are out of our "comfort zone". And today I want to step out of that warm and cuddly place and feature some awesome works from places on dA I don't usually visit!
Since this is the first entry, I thought I should explain it a bit more, so that is why there is more text in this article

The topic of celebrating diversity is something that I really want to cherish. I am guilty of not fully

Spirit Day 2012"Ultimately, I want Spirit Day to make just one person feel little bit better about his or herself, to feel safe enough in their own skin and to be proud of who they are" - Brittany McMillan
In memory of the young LGBT people who lost their lives to suicide, Brittany encouraged her friends to wear purple on a day in October -- a day that came to be known as Spirit Day. Since then, GLAAD has helped turn Spirit Day into a global event that inspires millions of individuals, celebrities, TV personalities, media outlets, companies and schools to wear purple in a stand against bullying.
While Spirit Day does focus on the LGBT community, I believe that it's anti-bullying message is relevant to every community. It only get's better, if we take the pledge to make it so.
Practice compassion and understanding, and treat others how you would like to be treated and we can make a difference.
Show your support for this anti-bullying me

Seniority Announcement - June 2012

This article marks the latest announcements detailing the latest additions to the dizzy height of Senior members in our community. With just over 900 deviants holding the highly saught after ` -- it's clearly a moment that deserves recognition.
:faq29:
So what does it take to become a Senior? That's a question many have asked and have never really been able to get a straight answer on. Some have gained Seniority as a thank you for their time spent as a Volunteer, or to recognise their contribution to a particular project or collaborative action. Some have gained Seniority because of their community spirit, providing help and assistance to many other deviants and taking time out to promote the work of others in the community.
Some people have received Seniority because of their artistic endevours, having a positive influence on their peers by sharing resources, providing constructive criticism and by being a voice t

Give Thanks... deviantART. Friends. Features.Edit: Share with your friends on Twitter as well! https://twitter.com/#!/ZevImages/status/139572960288714752
I know that many deviants have had a rough past year. I know I have. For some, it was the economy, for some changes in their families and loved ones, and I know for some it has even been on deviantART. We have all had struggles, but this time of year, whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not, is as good a time as any to thank people for what we DO have.
In this world of little, we all have something we hold dear to our hearts. Now is the time to say thanks.
So, what I would like to invite everyone to do is in the next 48 hours (Today + Thanksgiving), fave this journal to show your support, then comment with 4 things you are thankful for:
1 thing on deviantART you are thankful for
1 thing with your family, loved ones, friends, etc. you are thankful for
1 thing in your life you are thankful for
1 piece of art you, or a fellow deviant created that you are th

This is a news article, posted once every two weeks, choc-a-block full of Senior happenings and initiatives, stunning visual features, an awesome mini-interview and much, much more!
Even though this is mainly Senior orientated, if you have something you want to promote or are just looking for something generally, senior or not, we invite you all to take a gander.

Inspi(RED) to Spread the RED

Thu Dec 1, 2011, 6:20 PM

"Not only is red the color of the holly jolly season; a color of hope, strength, and passion."

(RED) Now has it's own gallery> Projects> Awareness>2011> (red)

I saw the organization (RED)'s bold ambition of wanting to

Have an AIDS free generation by 2015

The community project (RED) is doing is an "online quilt" where people can have a patch and to join the quilt you have to make a pledge to somehow help get a generation free of AIDS by 2015 as it is HIGHLY likely to be the case as long as people donate to the cause!

Click here for the goal, and join the quilt!

Here's me if you're curious!

Don't' know what the organization (RED) is? Click here to find out.
Right now 1000 people are born with HIV according to (RED), a very sad statistic.

Please join me this December in giving the gift of hope, and spreading hope throughout deviantART. SPREAD THE RED!

Let the deviantART community be known of this goal and this massive project (RED) is doing! Help us SPREAD THE RED! Here are a few ways you can do that:

1. If you have premium membership pimp your page with RED CSS backgrounds Tutorials to get you started. OR you could use `admx's handy code that you can copy paste into a CSS box here!
Or you can use this code made by =LabLayers

2. Make your icon (RED). Here's the icon:

Or you can sport this icon made by =nikkittie that correlates with `Endorell-Taelos' raves project :thumb272468714: just make sure that you're included in the list by clicking here! `Arichy has taken the project over.
