All entries through now will be accepted, but nothing further. Judging will commence and we will announce winners in the next few days. Good luck everyone!
With the holidays winding down and people trying to get back on track (including me), it's been hard to get entries done for various contests. So, at the request of a couple of people, I am extending the deadline for the Opus by 1-week. The new deadline is:

Deadline is January 18, 2013 at 11:59 pm CST (-6 GMT)

So, now let's see more entries!!!
I hope you are, because that's the theme of the newest Opus contest. Not just super, but SUPER-HEROES! You know the type, cape blowing in the wind, beating up the bad guys, saving the day. Your challenge is to create the best emotion piece featuring a superhero. It can be an original hero or a known hero (like Batman or Ironman). Your piece can include a villain, but it must have one superhero. Though, it's up to you if the hero is m

Art-for-Artists Project Stopped by dA TermsHello Deviants,

A few people may have already noticed that yesterday my commission widgets were removed by the dA Staff. This was due to the fact that this project actually violated some terms and conditions. This was unknown to me as well as a few others that I had checked with. I was sent a note to clarify what went on, and asked for permission to share it with you today to clarify any issues.
Hi Zev,
I'm noting you today regarding your use of the Commissions widget.
While we understand and appreciate your desire to help your fellow artists with a charitable project of this type, unfortunately taking donations via the Commissions system is not a permissible usage of the widget. While your intentions were valid, unfortunately allowing such usage would open us up to many other areas of abuse by those with less noble intentions.
As a result of this, the commission purchases have been refunded to the original buyers and the funds removed fro

Chat Tutorial #10 - Anatomy of a chatroomThis should have been the first article
Ez a Tutorial magyar nyelven is elérhető!
So I noticed that when I try to explain certain things about chatrooms for helpees, they have no idea where is the title, topic area of the chatroom or if that even exists. I'd like to help with that.
I made a screenshot of my chatroom, cropped out certain areas and marked them with words

I'll write down some things about those areas and I'll try to include some tips as well.
So here we go.

a - Chatroom tab
This is a very useful thing. Why? Because instead of one million browser windows, you can have one window open and have as many connections to dAmn chatroom as you want. You can close one as well but without leaving the other rooms as well.
b - Title of the chatroom
Area is empty when you first enter your own ch

Deviousness Award Interview with JoseFelipeMWhat 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 January 2013 goes to `JoseFelipeM.

Hello JoseFelipe! Please give us a quick introduction of who you are, in and outside DA.
Hey Thiefo!

On deviantART, I am `JoseFelipeM, a senior member for a bit more than six months. I recently received the Deviousness Award (obviously

that's what this interview is for) and `TimberClipse pointed out that not only am I the youngest senior, but I took his spot as youngest Deviousness Award Recipient! I am more of an art appreciator than an

PE: dA help - in English or Other LanguagesOn a big site like deviantART you're no doubt going to come across something you have a question about or just don't quite understand. There are many channels you can use to find the answers to various types of questions - such as the +faq, the *welcome tour, the deviantART Tutorials category and the :#help: chatroom. How do you know which to use?
The best point to start with any question or problem related to dA is the official Need Help? thread. It lists all official help channels and what they can be used for. In this article we focus on the +faq - as well as places to find dA information in many other languages! Let's start with English.

The CR Stamp Project

Stamps are a great way to show your support for a project, a person or a group of people, spread awareness for a cause or promote a contest. It is also valid to do them just for fun, with just a funny image and/or message.
Since their introduction to the deviantArt galleries, millions of stamps have been created with a great variety of messages, both silly and serious, and you can see them all over the place, from journals to profile widgets.
The Community Relations department exists to encourage, facilitate and develop the relationship with our deviantART community. Our goal is to nurture our community by encouraging, stimulating artists to create, collaborate, and participate in a friendly, safe, and supportive artistic environment.
It's now time t

Redesign a character contest!If there's something we love about fan art is how artists take artistic liberties and portray characters in their own style and different scenarios we wouldn't see otherwise. Some people will say that fan art is unoriginal, but from experience there's a lot of creativity involved when it comes to depicting your favourite characters in a different light, deviating from the way they were designed by their creators.
This is why, inspired by the Pokedesign Challenge by *CrazyRatty on Tumblr, your friendly neighborhood Fan Art CVs decided to host a fun little contest for you!
How it works:
Pick a character from any fandom you like.
Come up with at least 3 different re-designs for them and put them in a single image.
Upload to deviantART's Fan Art Gallery
