Ooohh, Xayide. I hated her as a kid, when I read the book. I like her better now. She's an interesting character. (I still read that bo...

Technically, this is really good. The pencil shading is smooth and the contrasts are well done too, giving depth and making it look qui...

News - A Poll A Day!

Journal Entry: Fri Mar 16, 2012, 1:32 PM
There are numerous amounts of brilliant traditional art here on dA. Not everyone gets the exposure or the popularity deserved here. As a traditional artist myself, I know the amount of time and effort that goes into creating each and every traditional piece of art. So, can't a group of us traditional artists do a little something for each other and the larger community? Here is a fairly simple idea that a few of us have decided to begin.


THE IDEA

1. The usage of polls as a way of exposing art
  
2. Art shall be displayed as thumbs
  
3. A group of us traditional artists take turns as rotation each day to bring out the under-exposed

4. Creating a special folder in favorites consisting of the deviations that have already been displayed in A Poll A Day previously in each deviants' page


GROUND RULES

1. Polls can have a minimum of 1 deviation to a maximum of 4

2. All the deviations displayed should have less than a 100 faves.

3. The last link displayed in the poll must lead back to the previously displayed A Poll A Day folder.

4. Once a deviant has finished doing the poll on his/her turn, they should send a note to the deviant next in line as a reminder of his/her turn in doing the poll.


AN EXAMPLE

Have a look at these artworks

Wow. You're obviously very detail oriented and patient to have practiced enough to reached the level you have. I'm self taught and I aspire to reach your level (and beyond). It's always good to see a powerful traditional artist making gorgeous works. I fear we're a dying breed.

Out on the road today, I saw a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac.. a little voice inside my head said "Don't look back, you can never look back.."

I believe in fair trade. If you watch me, I'll watch you, and we can spread the love :)
