Secret Art Show for MS TrustEarlier in the year, I was contacted & requested to submit a piece of art for this most worthy fundraiser. Many artists have contributed art to this and part of the excitement is having to remain anonymous until the auction finishes, so I can't tell you which work is mine until after the bidding. There are 21 pages in the gallery, and the only clue I'll give is that my piece is included somewhere in the middle four or five pages. If you follow the link and click on 'gallery', you might find it

How to make a great Journal featureJournal Feature Tutorial
How to make a great Journal feature!
This article has been written for #projecteducate by `miontre.
Featuring other artists in your Journal is a great thing to do, because everyone wins! Not only are you supporting other artists by giving them some extra exposure, but you can also earn some exposure for yourself and make new friends too. Additionally, those who view your feature have the opportunity to find some new art and artists.

Therefore, it pays to make your Journal features the best they can be. Making a really good Journal feature can involve a lot of time and work - planning, collecting artwork, arranging the artwork in a Journal, publication, and promotion. Taking these steps instead of merely dragging in thumbs from your Favourites will result in an appealing and rewarding Journal feature. In this tutorial, we're going to produce a feature with images arranged like this:

PE: How to Animate in GimpHow to Animate in Gimp
Gimp is a free photo editing software that you can download at gimp.org. You can use it for a lot of different things like photo manipulations, drawing, pixel art, etc. Today though, we will be covering the topic of animation!

Note that this tutorial will only show the basics of Gimp animation. How to make the frames, how to save it and the such.

So let's get started!

Start by making the subject. I just used a random black ball, but the subject can be as simple or as complex as you want, depending on what you're making. Make sure you switch over to the layers tab.
Tip: If you do not already have the layers tab there by default, go to any of the tabs and press that little arrow that the green arrow is pointing at. After you click tab press: Add tab> Layers. After that, the layer tab like in the picture should show up.

After making t

ECCC, Sakura Con and Banzai ConSo spring is going to be busy for me. Three conventions-- maybe four in the next two months.
Emerald City Comic Con
First up is ECCC! I am very excited for this since it will be my first time going and a lot of my favourite comic artists will be there too

Cosplay plans are:
Friday: Castiel (Supernatural)
Saturday: Lost Days Jason Todd or Lolita Tim Drake or Lolita Jason Todd (haven't decided yet lol)

DeviantART Formatting Guide!

Sat Oct 1, 2011, 6:01 PM

#BasicMembers #CommanderLuminaire

Introduction

Did YOU Know that you can use the tag in various custom boxes AND journals?
Well, yes you can! No Premium Membership REQUIRED!

To prove my point,

below!
Test.Test.Test.Test.Test.LOL!

When you're ready to move on, mouse over the "The Tag" section.

The Tag

Did you enjoy the awesome presentation of the "Test." text above? Here's the source code to that:

<font face="Droid Sans" size="7">Test.</font><font face="Arial" size="3">Test.</font><font face="Tahoma" size="1">Test.</font><font face="Oswald, Droid Sans, Arial" size="5">Test.</font><font face="Brainly, Nunito, Testt, Times New Roman" size="4">Test.</font><font face="Helskini, Klavika, FF Meta, Segoe UI, Tahoma" size="7"><b>LOL!<b></font>

What goes into that is tag is basically the "size" and "face" subtags! If you need more expiation or info, move on below!

Font Sizes

deviantART support the so-called "font sizes" in any range from 1 to 7!
To define your font size, just use Text where # is the font size. Cool, eh? There are 10 font sizes allowed, and you may only define a number as a size. You can't use stuff like 3px, 3pt, or 3em because deviantART doesn't seem to support that.
Yes, decimals up to the tenths place are allowed only up to size 3. Along with that, the letter, line, and paragraph spacing WILL vary on the font size because of an odd flaw within dA's main CSS itself.

So... here is a demonstration of the sizes!
This is size 1 text.
This is size 1.2 text.
This is size 1.5 text.
This is size 2 text.
This is size 2.5 text.
This is size 3 text.
This is size 4 text.
This is size 5 text.
This is size 6 text.
This is size 7 text.
This is size 999 text.

Source code for dummies:
This is size 1 text.This is size 1.2 text.This is size 1.5 text.This is size 2 text.This is size 2.5 text.This is size 3 text.This is size 4 text.This is size 5 text.This is size 6 text.This is size 7 text.This is size 999 text.

Usable Fonts

To define your font itself, just replace Text where X is the font name. The subtag name "face" came from Michel Rowels of W3C, in case you were wondering.

deviantART supports the use of any font, but the tag DOES NOT support any Google Webfonts. The fonts MUST be pre-installed to the reader's computer in order for it to be displayed. If you must use a font not installed into all computers, like say FF Meta, then you better use commas. For example, This text will appear in FF Meta if installed. If not, this appears in Times New Roman.. SOURCE CODE:This text will appear in FF Meta if installed. If not, this appears in Times New Roman.

Web Safe Fonts, defined by W3C:
Serif Fonts
Georgia
Palatino Linotype, Book Antiqua
Times New Roman
Sans-Serif Fonts
Arial, Helvetica
Arial Black, Gadget
Comic Sans MS
Impact, Charcoal
Tahoma, Geneva
Trebuchet MS
Verdana, Geneva
Monospace Fonts
Courier New, Courier
Lucida Console, Monaco

Great Fonts Combos, for the

of dA:
dA Logo Font: Klavikal, Klavika, Apex New, Trebuchet MS
Windows Metro Font: Segoe UI, Zegoe UI, XBOX UI, Arial

Last, But Not Least

So... you may combine BOTH font sizes AND font faces. To style your text, use the tags. You may also use the <h1><h2><h3><h4><h5><h6><code> tags to style your text along with the .
