Traditional Tuesdays #47***WARNING: Viewing these works of art may cause giddiness, elevated heart rates, and happiness in the pants(which could lead to blindness)! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!***

Now with the warming out of the way, Hi, and welcome to edition number forty-seven of Traditional Tuesdays. This week, like all of the other weeks, I'll be featuring fifteen works of art from the Traditional Gallery. Any more than that might and you might loss interest or it could cause your monitor to fail in an explosion of awesomeness. I would feel guilty if that were to happen, so I'm keeping it at fifteen! The
Traditional gallery is a vast storeroom of work that covers many mediums and genres. I've tried to show a diverse array of artwork, but I don't have room for them all. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

Feedback For Favorites Contest

Created for `thorns' Complaint Challenge.
Feedback Generated As Of February 1st: 4,085
The Inspiration:
The +Fav and Run Phenomenon.
Have you ever received Favorites on your deviations, but did not receive any comments or critiques? Have you added a user's work to your Favorites, but never left them any comments or feedback on those pieces? Many would agree that while views and favorites are great, that comments and critiques are the most valuable. This contest aims to fill that void, by giving deviants a chance to return to the artwork they collected and provide feedback for it.
The Mission:
To leave Comments, Feedback, and Critiques on Deviations in your Favorites Collection.
Go through your Favorites Gallery, and comment on the deviations you find there that you did not leave a comment on. You may also

Not So Traditional Tuesdays #8The things that make one piece of art great applies, for the most part, to other genres. A painter can learn how light and shadow fall from photography, photo-manipulators can learn about composition from a great
Manga drawing, and literature can give you the inspiration to try something new or take your work to the next step. You may never try all art forms you see! You can however take what you learn from them and
incorporate that into your own work. It could be the difference between stagnating and that breakthrough every artist wants to find! Now on with the show!

RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE VOL 7Hello Everyone
RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE is a weekly feature to recognize one artist that stands
out within our deviantART Community. This deviant must be an outstanding
deviant within the community, someone who cares about other deviants
and the deviantART Community! This deviant can be anyone, anywhere on
deviantART. I believe it is important to recognize outstanding deviants
for their time and dedication to our deviantART Community.

Make a Difference #185Artists join deviantART to share their art and appreciate others. Due to the many artists out there, it's easy to get towed under and generally obscured from the public.
Make a Difference aims to do exactly that. This series of articles will hopefully make a difference to you as well as the artists featured weekly. Just by giving one minute of your time to write constructive comments, favourites and even watches will make a difference to these artists.
:iconxeeshan-ch: captures the moment exceptionally well, many of his pieces filled with colour to really draw you into the piece in question. It is clear that, through patience, ~xeeshan-ch captures those photographs in which time is wonderfully suspended.

Merry Christmas: A Feature!

Tue Dec 25, 2012, 8:53 AM

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and your's this holiday season! I want to wish you all days filled with happy memories and partaking in the small acts of kindness that can really pay off on this big holiday.

Group Updates:
#Good-Intention has an incredible 400 members in just over a week! I am absolutely amazed at the momentum this group has gained in such a short amount of time, it's incredible the kind of support we've received from the deviantART community.

As a result of our growth, and suggestions from our members, changes will be made, such as these below:

~Danimi suggested a folder called 'Feedback Needed,' for artwork that requires constructive feedback and critique. Feedback is meant to be encouraging and helpful, so please be mindful of this.

`lintu47 suggested a folder for 'Interviews,' which is designated for journals interviewing users of the deviantART community.

*waiting-for-wings suggested a folder for 'Gift Art,' which is designated for artwork that is made as gifts for others.

I have also added a folder for 'Completed Events,' meant to house contests, giveaways, and kiribans that have ended. If you have previously submitted one of the above and it has ended, sending a Note to the group would be very appreciated!

=SoulFighty created a modified skin just for our group! They did a magnificent job modifying one of the most beautiful skins to suit the color scheme of #Good-Intention!

I have started a new tutorial series called 'Let The Light In!' This series will be for tutorials that highlight how to go about committing the kind acts we present in our group. The first article teaches you how to create an Art Feature, and includes a whole host of tips and tricks to make the process much simpler. You can find the first article here: [link]

The Introductory Giveaway is still going on, with 8 of the best prizes still to be given! If you haven't entered the Giveaway yet, you can do so here: [link]

I am really pleased with how the group has evolved since its inception, so please do keep it up with your contributions. It is amazing to see just how much positivity there is taking the place in our community every day.

Contributor Feature:
As a 'thank you' to the Top 10 Contributors of our group, I have decided to include a small feature of their artwork in this journal! Thank you for all of your contributions!
