Group Master List | @PromotingPositivity | Group Guidelines * * * * Hello everyone! :wave: Welcome to another Promoting Positivity. In this series, we will have three sections: @PromotingPositivity news, community content sharing, and peer support. Please take a look and see if there's anything you like. Feel free to comment with anything you want featured next week. With that out of the way, let's get started. Current @PromotingPositivity News 10/4/23 I'm thinking of having a small challenge for this month related to the Trick or Treat Badge. Basically, all you would have to do is tell me you are participating through a note and then send as many of those badges as you can. The one who sends the most by the end gets a little reward/award. This is entirely up to you, but I think it'd be fun. So note me if you are interested. I'll be checking the About Me pages of everyone who notes me at the end of the month. ;) Mind you, if the person who wins doesn't have Core, I will give them

The time has come! The final evaluation has been carried out! Many thanks to everyone who took part in our Scavanger Hunt. I would like to feature the five artists who found the most candy with pictures from their gallery. Everyone else gets a mention.

Total number of hidden candies: 220 Total number of hidden trick candies: 26 Total number of points that could be awarded: 2547 The highest score was 230 points.

Edit: The winners are announced! :la: It is late October, the nights are getting colder and longer, leaves are falling, and pumpkins are for sale. And, of course, Halloween is approaching - with its spookiness, costumes, and, most important of all, the candy. And DeviantArt is no exception :la: Candies have been hidden on 13 profiles, and all that is left is to find them, collect them - and win prizes! Here's what to do You'll find the candies in these profiles: Go to these profiles and search in their galleries, journals, folders, anywhere! The candies are hidden in deviations, journals, scraps, the main page, etc. all within these profiles. The candies you are looking for look like this: Reply to these comments to "find" the candy (only "liking" them is not enough!). Like this: What you write in the comment doesn't really matter, you can say "Got you!" "Found you!" "Gotcha!", etc. Remember to reply to the main comment, not the

Art that pays dividends: buy, sell, and resell ownership of one-of-a-kind art with Exclusives! DeviantArt’s Adoptables feature launched earlier this year, allowing deviants to sell and buy original character designs, outfits, and accessories, and due to its resounding popularity, Adoptables is being expanded to give artists who create different kinds of unique artwork the opportunity to do the same. Exclusives are one-of-a-kind artworks that artists can sell and buyers can own. These can be adoptables, digital art, photography, 3D art, mixed media creations, and much more. Each Exclusive can have one owner, and the artist can allow owners to sell the Exclusive to someone else later, if desired. Like Adoptables, Exclusives can be bought and sold on DeviantArt through a secure, automated system. Why should I sell Exclusives? Earn royalties: As the original artist, if you allow owners to resell, you’ll earn a 10% royalty each time one of your Exclusives is resold. Save time: Once

For people who wish to block/avoid most AI art (and NFTs) in their feed and main page, here's the process. With your cursor go over your avatar, on the top right corner of DA page, and then: Account settings > Browsing > AI Content > Check "Suppress AI" (it is also directly accessible by clicking "AI Content Settings" in the scrolling menu) And here's a list of the tags that you can add to your blocking

Oh, God. I remember the time when I used to post journal entries without complaining much about anything except art robbers, bullies, and trolls. Those were the good old days when navigating this platform was a breeze but then came Eclipse, and it’s been a mess ever since. Their constant updates have made finding anything impossible. The entire website is a hot mess! Before, I checked for comments and replies quickly. Now, I must navigate cluttered sections with red numbers. It’s frustrating, to say the least, and it feels like Eclipse was a mistake. A HUGE MISTAKE! :grump: :thumbsdown: I’ve been on DeviantArt for over ten years, and I’ve seen many stupid changes in my life, but the recent updates have made the platform a toxic shithole that no longer cares about artists. DeviantArt allows AI “art” that generates theft and lets people sell their AI creations without holding AI users accountable for tagging failures. It’s all about profit, not creating a wholesome community. I

We asked the artisans of Eorzea to create FINAL FANTASY XIV characters with features from Endwalker, and they delivered. Each entry would make a fine addition to the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. Hearty congratulations to the winners, and a huge thank you to Square Enix, as well as everyone who participated! 1st Place ENDWALKER: Shepherds of the Star by @Quelfabulous 2nd Place FFXIV Endwalker Viera Reaper by @rakavka 3rd Place FFXIV Monk Spirits - or - Who can save the Eorzea? by @Alex-Sap Semi-Finalists View Original Contest

Digital artist @Grimlai has made their mark on the adoptables community. See what inspires them to create, learn how to get involved in the world of adoptables, improve your skills, and make your characters more attractive! How would you describe your style to someone who has never seen your art before? I think it’s semi-realism—a mix of anime, fantasy, saturated colors, and non-existent worlds. How did you start drawing characters, and what inspired you to do it? I like to look at people’s appearances. When I see cosplayers or roleplayers, I get excited, because in our world, you rarely meet characters from other worlds. Periodically, I see unusual people on the street and think, “Look how amazing you are! I'll create a character of you for some cool story." For example, I met the prototype of this adoptable in line at a store. How did you discover the world of adoptables? I am educated in design, but I started drawing seriously almost 3 years ago. My friend pushed me to
