Like the many flags we fly to represent who we are, Pride Month is about celebrating the strength of our plurality, the many identities that complete us and make all of us great, and how they come together to build our common humanity.
Occurring in the same month as the Stonewall Riots (on June 28, 1969) where people were beaten simply for being who they are, Pride Month is meant to be a celebration of coming together in light

DeviantArt Originals Recap
Take a look behind the scenes to see how DeviantArt’s 2018 April Fool’s campaign came to life.
DEVIATION ARTIST: Krizpi
Pre-production
In years past, April Fool's has been no trivial matter at DeviantArt. We have brought you thoughtART, to simply will art into being; DeviantHeart, a dating website for creatives; and even succumbed to takeover by cats. This year was no exception. It all began in early 2018, when danlev (https://www.deviantart.com/danlev) set a brainstorming meeting. The ideas were plentiful: from llama-based cryptocurrencies to a Paul Blart site-takeover entitled: DeviantBlart.

I saw ~Vindhov (https://www.deviantart.com/vindhov)'s latest journal sharing all her ideas for her own nextgen, and I thought it was the coolest thing. It does take a long ass time to turn an idea into a full blown drawing (with written dialogue), and I have so many Pandoraverse story ideas left to do! Like Vindhov, I thought it'd be neat to share all my notes for future drawings/stories with you guys. :)
Reminder: The pandoraverse main story can be viewed in chronological order here: https://lopoddity.deviantart.com/gallery/63075264/Pandoraverse-Main-Story-Arc

how to get better at art Fast
(keep in mind this is what works for me. some things may be helpful here and some may not!)
look at your gallery. take note of what colors you use the most and radically change them. use colors outside your comfort zone. use premade palettes.
keep your subjects varied. having fun drawing dogs? try something new. draw an animal or body type (or plant!) you've never drawn before. don't be afraid to use references and tutorials.
spice up that composition. draw your subject from behind, from below or above. don't be afraid to crop parts of them out of your drawing. draw them from up close or far away to keep things varied.

I just wanted to say thanks again to everyone who ever made a gift for me. I really appreciate it.
This includes the Christmas gifts, B-day gift and normal gifts.
I never thought I would get some. Also, I think those would be the only one I will recive :3( why? cause it seams to me like my characters aren't so good to be noticed by others. There always is missing something, and I don't know why)
Perhaps, it's a bit stupid of me to make a whole journal about the gifts I received from all of you, but...who cares ^^
Also, now that I compare between me and other artist that draws much better then me. I know now, why they never reply to t
Hey, I just wanted to talk a bit about thf christmas gifts.
Well, I never thought that I will get a gift. I am a person who likes to draw gifts for others, but I am not the opposite who recieves gifts from others.
So you problably know that I made some christmas gifts for some people. Well, first I wanted to make four gifts, but I changed my mind, 'cause I didn't know whom to give another one.
I gave those a gift, whom it seams to me that noticed me, and didn't spam me ^-^.
However, this doesn't mean to the others who didn't get one, that I don't like them. Of course I do ^-^ but I can't draw 251 gifts for all my watchers.
Also, I didn't

Headcanon dump- How does Homeworld treat Pearls?
As you all may have noticed, I've recently become slightly.. Infatuated with Pearls. Specifically, SU brand pearls. I mean, I've MADE three pearlsonas already. :') I have lost control of my life.
(btw Gold Pearl still doesn't have a master yet sSSSOOOO IF ANYONE HAS A DIAMOND/QUARTZ--)
Anyway, I think that there’s a lot that people assume from what we’ve been given in canon and it’s kind of a dicey subject, so this is a great opportunity for me to lay out my thoughts a bit on this subject.
Our biggest explicit dumping of information on Pearls and their role is in Back To The Barn which is the first thing that laid this par
