Poll Features
A month ago, I posted a poll asking my watchers/visitors to show me 3 artists they felt could use more love.  They *were* allowed to pick themselves, too.  Anyhow, the response was so large that I have to break the feature into two parts.  To see the original poll, click here.

Relativity Contest WinnersFinally...

`Ravenswd and I are happy to announce the winners of the 2nd annual Relativity contest.  This year's theme was "Your OC as a hero or villain in the Relativity universe."

It seems a common thing for contest hosts to complain about the difficulty in judging.  That's because it's hard! And this contest was no exception.  Lovely art, wonderful words, and great ideas. With so many diverse entries, we had to pick one criteria to use as the main judging point.  That was story.  More importantly: Who did we want to know more about. Which pieces piqued our interest and made us want to know what happened next.  With that in mind, we announce the winners...

NSFW Vol. 2 - Halloween EditionHalloween Edition
Yes, I know.  Halloween was last Wednesday.  Only, it was postponed here in my state due to the stormy bitch named Sandy.  And then it was postponed again. :p Tomorrow, November 5th, is suppose to be the official replacement day.  Since I have a very busy day tomorrow, I am going to do the feature today.  Also, I think it is perfectly acceptable to feature Halloween and spooky art at any given time a year, so being almost a week late doesn't feel so wrong to me. :giggle:

Literary Compass - Vol. 3Welcome
If one is looking for Literature, you don't need to go far on deviantART. There is a large community of writers and a plethora of work to peruse. Featuring  genres such as fantasy, mystery, horror, and romance, one would be hard-pressed to find an area not covered. However, due to the nature of the site, shorter works tend to get more focus. It's easier to quickly read a poem or a short story, and thus many of the feature articles on dA showcase those works. However, there are many novelists and serial writers among the mix, oftentimes fighting an uphill battle to have their works seen and appreciated.
With that in mind, I have started an article to spotlight some of those artists and their literary-worlds. The works covered in this feature will exclusively be long-form fiction such as novels, trilogies, etc., or fiction serials.

The theme this year (overwhelmingly selected by our Watchers) is:
Your Original Character (OC) as a Hero or Villain in the Relativity Universe
Since this is a Relativity contest, simply drawing a picture of your OC as a superhero will not count.  You must incorporate something from Relativity into the piece.  Either another character from the universe or something that is a direct and obvious reference to the world.
ANY of the Relativity characters can be used.  That includes the characters in or out of costume.  Supporting characters or villains may also be used.

Poll Features
It is widely known that many famous artists, composer, and authors have had the frustration of having a work they felt was sub-par gain huge popularity while pieces they worked harder on and adore sat un-noticed.  This is the same for everyday deviants. I recently ran a poll asking for deviants to share with me their thoughts on this and share their own art. Here are some of the answers--the first piece being the most faved and the second being the one they wished had more love. More will be featured in future articles. To see the original poll (which is still open), click here<
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.

This is the feature for my recent poll. I asked for deviants to post a link to their gallery and a friends. Here are the results. :la:

:thumb336776656: Where There's A Spark part 1She felt a sharp pulse in her mind. Her former co-workers used to joke about her 'spider-sense' and how it warned her of dangerously malfunctioning robots. The last personal cleaning automaton she'd fixed had grabbed her blowtorch and attempted to set her head on fire. The advance notice was terribly unspecific and only warned a minute early at best, sometimes failing to work at all. Skyler set her burger back in the container and gazed around the outdoor cafe. While not packed, there were plenty of people around. A few families had young children and small robots to help take care of them. The worst they could do would be throwing children a
