#NewsPortal - Group LaunchHi!
I've started a new project. It's a new group called #NewsPortal.
:iconnewsportal:
#NewsPortal
A large portion of active groups are solely for art collection, however, there aren't as many groups that collect only news - which is what #NewsPortal will be doing.

On top of that, the group also has it's place on other social networking sites on Twitter and Facebook. I hope to expand this out to Tumblr and/or Google+ in the coming weeks.
I'm still setting the group up, but it would be great if you could watch the group or become a member! I've got some neat things planned, so keep an eye out. You will be notified once gallery submissions are open!

RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE VOL 5Hello 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
and thank them for their time and dedication to our deviantART
Community.

dASAW 2012 Interview: $codenamepanther:iconstaffappreciation:
dASAW Interview Series: $codenamepanther
Welcome to the second Staff Member interview of deviantART Staff Appreciation Week! As part of my role in dASAW, I had the pleasure of interviewing the fabulous, $codenamepanther. Enjoy!

1. How did you discover deviantART, and what made you stay?
I discovered deviantART back in the day when $Heidi introduced it to me. Essentially, I have known about it since it started, but I didn't join until about 3 years ago. I think the passion of the community and the amazing work I see on a daily basis has made me stay.
2. Tell us the story behind your username and/or prior dA accounts.
This one is actually asked a ton. I don't have a prior account. This is my main account at this time. I have others that are used for testing things, but they are not really that exciting. $codenamepanther was kind of made up out of now

Project Educate: Artistic Nude + Fetish RecapThis journal contains mature content. For ease of access we've started to put all of the previous Project Educate articles into the relevant folders within our gallery. This means that if you want to read up on a certain topic that has been covered during Project Educate, you can head over and find it really quickly. Within People & Portraits there are several sub-categories that are managed by specific Community Volunteers, one of these is Artistic Nude. You should direct all of your Artistic Nude Photography suggestions towards ^Nyx-Valentine rather than a general photography CV such as myself or ^3wyl Additionally, ^Nyx-Valentine covers the Fetish Photography Galleries, so again, direct your suggestions to her.

Another dAmn Interview! - LawraRandalaAnother dAmn Interview! is an interview series I've started up where I interview a deviant who is a regular in the dAmn/Chatroom area of deviantART, and ask them to share their initial and current opinons on that area of the site. I'd love some suggestions on how it can be improved if you have any, as well as any other questions you think should be asked. Thank you!
1. When did you start using dAmn compared to how long you've been on dA?
- I created my first account on December 2005, and around January 2006 I found the chatrooms... so pretty quick, I'd say.

2. Did you find yourself drawn to any chatrooms in particular when you first started using them?
- For years, I went to #devart only. I found a lot of people there that I felt connected with, and it didn't even occur to me to go anywhere else. But things have changed in there, and I've started 'wandering' around, so to say.

3. Have you made any

People + Portraits Photography: Body Art RecapWithin the People and Portraits Photography Gallery there are various galleries that have their own Community Volunteer and go to person for Daily Deviation suggestions and so on. Body Art has its own niche within the People & Portraits Gallery and this has been the case since 2010. `Exillior explains the changes more fully in this journal.
The Photography Body Art Gallery is for Photographers who would like to showcase the Body Art that has been executed by somebody else. If you've created the Body Art or you have the permission to post the creation of somebody else's Body Art then you need to submit it to Traditional Art -> Body Art. Check out `JZino's latest Daily Deviations Roundup for more information on her Daily Deviation suggestion guidelines. Below is a recap of useful Body Art Blogs and Features

PE: Isometric Pixel Art FeatureI want to start out by saying that I am no expert on Isometric Pixel Art, but someone who knew far more than I did wrote the best, most comprehensive article on the subject: http://shonegold.deviantart.com/journal/Isometric-PixelArt-Simply-Defined-214155749 Even though the author no longer is active on dA, that is a great resource and I encourage its use to understand isometric pixel art

This article is a feature article however, so I will not be going into depth with the definition. I started with that link to help people better understand the fine examples I am about to showcase

Member feature #11 with Einsilbig

Journal Entry: Sat Oct 6, 2012, 10:44 AM

Hello there

I'm `dekorAdum, and my duty at #Urban-and-Rural is to feature submitted artworks. We decided to change the way we do it, and instead of themes & Featured folders, we decided to pick only one Member and make a little interview with them to get to know our members a little more and I'll feature amazing U&R photographers every second week!

Here is our next Featured Member, *Einsilbig

Thank you so much *Einsilbig for taking time and let me interview you!

#1 When did you start taking Architectural Photos?

First of all: Thanks for the feature `dekorAdum !
I started a year ago with capturing architectural photos. First I captured buildings as a whole, the classical way, but for the last six months I have developed in taking abstract/detail architecture images. In the meantime I guess I have discovered my own style, at the borderline of architecture and abstract photography.

#2 What kind of equipment do you own for taking photos?

Basically I use 3 lenses for my photography – a 100mm Tokina Macro (for architectural details), a 35mm Walimex pro (I use it rarely for architecture images, for example if iam too close with 100 mm or if the light conditions are bad (f 1,4)) and a Canon´s wide angle lens if I want to capture classic extern architecture pictures. I feel good prepared with these 3 options.

#3 Do you have any favourite Urban & Rural or Architecture Photographers here on deviantART?

There are a lot of great photographers here on deviantART, to name only two members: If you want to learn something about architecture detail and composition *EintoeRn is worth a look, ~ChristianRudat gallery offers very diverse urban images. I hope you are OK with some advertisement: If you enjoy Architecture, Urban & Rural, feel free to discover our weekly feature at

. And of course, scroll through this group´s gallery.

#4 What are your favourites from your own gallery and why?

I have two on-going series. The “Angle Studies”, whereby I like

the most and the “Urban Shapes and Colors” collection with

. In the first one I really like the infinite look and the symmetrie. I really have the feeling that I created something not so often seen. The second one was tricky to capture. It took me about an hour to take it, because I had to study the shadow play and how to compose the lines. All in all iam very satisfied with the result.

#5 How or why did you start taking Architecture related photos?

I cannot name a certain cause. I live in Berlin, so Urban elements are part of my daily life and in the last months I got many positive feedbacks related to my compositions and minimalistic executions and I guess that has driven me to specialize in this field of photography.
