Giveaway and great news!Guess what guys! I'm reopening my stores (Etsy and Storenvy) and commissions, I can finally announce that I'm getting married and I need to save as much as possible for the big day, July 27th. And just before anyone asks, the wedding is not improvised we've been planning it for a long time

but there's still a lot of things to buy and consider, I could use some more money to save

So buy my stuff

to celebrate the reopening I'm also doing a giveaway! Actually it's three giveaways running simultaneously on deviantART, Facebook and YouTube, you can join any of them or the three of them to have more chances to win.

3000+ Watchers : Thank you / Free PS ActionsWhen i checked my Stats yesterday and noticed that i already got past 3000 watchers !

I am so grateful to every person that even views my works and of course i am even happier if they appreciate them.
I know that i am really inactive in things like answering comments, notes and taking the time to appreciate the work of others.
But please don't think i am ungrateful for all of that, because that's really not the case.
On the contrary, your compliments really encourage me and make me smile !
I am kind of trying to figure out what i want to do with my life after i finished school and of course i have to get good marks to
leave as many options open as possible. I hope you do understand that.
I am still taking photos ( which you probably know ), since it's a important time for me to just take my dog and
go for a long walk searching for pretty flowers or ladybugs or just sit in my room for hours trying to take pretty photos.
Unfortunately all the things around it, like answering comm

Featured Help: DMCA Noticescopyright issues are confusing...
Go here to fill out an official DMCA report.
:faq2:
:faq8:
:faq155:
:faq157:
deviantART has streamlined the way they take DMCA and Copyright Notices. While you can still make general reports on permission issues, you CANNOT make copyright infringement reports on any work but your own. This is because of US LAW, not deviantART. deviantART is simply following the laws of the USA (so please refrain from flaming the site staff as they can't do anything about it).
Permission Issues
Reporting a permission issue is easy. If you see a work that you are pretty sure the artist doesn't have permission to post, simply click the REPORT DEVIATION link on the deviation page. Choose "Permission Issue" from the list and tell the Help Desk why you think they don't have permission to post that work. Don't tell them they are infringing on anyone's copyright. Only the copyright hold

Lord of the FleyesThe fleyes are very feisty right now... but instead of their usual activities of mobbing Vlemmy, they have decided on a more nefarious activity, with the help of the Eye. The Eye is still sore about not having a date for Valentines, and has given the Fleye mob power to possess someone in the mansion...
By night, the Lord of the Fleyes will turn some unsuspecting mansion member into a fleye to add to the collective fleye conscious. By day, that person seems just like you... but the next night they'll strike again. Unless all the mansion dwellers want to become fleyes forever, you must select one person by day that you think is the Lord of the Fleyes and KILL THEM! Temporarily, of course. The Eye will bring you back, but first you must suffer. In other words, SOMEONE needs to take one for the team and be its date next year!
Hopefully you will find the Lord of the Fleyes before it's too late...

Life and What It Could BeWell, things on my end have been going pretty well for the most part. I am happy to announce that I finally have a Ninja Llama! Been wanting one for a while and to top it all off I now have 100 watchers! Thank you all so much! It has certainly made my day, and I will do my up most best to keep active.
Lately you might have noticed I been putting up a lot of flower and plant stock art. This is from one of the nature projects I was assigned in Photography class. The class may be over now, but that does not mean my picture taking is done. I have plenty of different photos in store. Some of you older watchers might remember the model photography I did. Well my best friend, :iconVindictive-Valentine: did another shoot with me. I'll be posting those up along the way so stay tuned.

On a more personal note, I'm going a bit stir crazy in my own home. I've been trying to reorganize and clean it. But I get little to no help with that. There is not

*sigh*When Cameron deactivated Chris's account, the artwork was removed as well....i'm sorry to say but all of his artwork that was in the folders is gone. We now only have the comments on our artwork, old messages from him, and this group to share our memories and past experiences of him as proof that he did exist and to not let him fully die in the world.
Something I suggest as something to help those ( like myself) who still ache from his death to go to Stash Writer and write your experiences and memories of Chris and submit it to the group. Others can then comment and form bonds and heal together.
Just a suggestion. But it would be nice to connect with others who knew him.

I am cryingListen to this http://m.soundcloud.com/eriikaa/sucide
please oh my gosh this is so sad and I'm crying wow. please don't every kill yourself. if anyone is ever feeling suicidal please tell me. talk to someone. you are better than that. stay strong. please don't.
You're sitting at your desk you know it's time to go. You've said to that to yourself over a million times, but this time you know forsure it's real you're tired you're just so very tired. Your parents pissed you off, like school wasnt bad enough today. You go to get the rope, or the knife, or the gun, or just whatever you choose to use because you're just that desperate to leave you're ready. You think of it as some game. The first one dead is the first one that wins. No one's home, it's the perfect time. You're ready. If you don't do it now you're just gonna look down on youreself even more forever. You're gonna hate yourself even more. No one knows, no one will know until later on. Instead of getting a paper and a pen, you ge

CISPA passed the House, but this isn't over yet.Word for word from this site http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?http://www.sitesnotspies.org/
The U.S. Government wants to turn the Internet into a private surveillance system. It's called CISPA, and this Spring we're organizing the largest online privacy protest in history to stop it for good. Are you in?
So please pass the message along to fight CISPA.
Thank you.

*Please! do not steal other's work and trick us into putting it into out gallery.

A Change in PlansI'm thinking of closing this group down and opening a new one named after a world made specifically for my creatures. They'll include the ones already here, don't worry, and you're more than welcome to join the other group instead! I'd just rather do that than have a group for only adoptions. I'll still hold adoptions, and perhaps allow a few customs. If asked politely.

But yeah, there's the plan. As soon as the number of my messages goes down to a comfortable range [and I think of a name for the planet], this club will be closing to make way for the new one. And make way for the new creatures!

KIA Motors is promoting violenceKIA motors is promoting female-on-male violence with their latest commercial "Hotbot" in which a female robot beats the crap out of a man for no reason for looking at a new KIA car model. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emhtp2prOxQ
This is not funny. This is a serious issue. Male victims of violence already have enough problems (being laughed at and mocked, nobody believing them, etc.). Contact KIA motors and tell them to stop this madness.

The MockingMineJay Story Chapter 3About six years later, two Minecraftians were on their way to town.
"Come on Dewey, let's get to the store before there is a huge line!" screamed Jay.
"You realize you're the one who wants the music, and not me." said Dewey.
"How come you don't like CaptainSparklez? His songs are awesome!" said Jay.
"I hear it all over the place." said Dewey.
When the sisters arrived at the store, a well known Minecraftian was at the desk. He was wearing a pair of red framed shades, and a casual black suit.
"Hi Jay, hi Dewey. What could I get for you two?" said Sparklez.
"Hey Sparklez, do you have Minecraft Style anywhere?" asked Jay.
"I heard that song for the billionth time, you are seriously getting it?" said Dewey, irritated.
"Yes, and you'll hear it more." said Jay.
"Well, here is a copy of Minecraft Style, and don't bug your sister a lot, okay?" said Sparklez, jokingly. Jay and Dewey walked out of the store, but there was a new notice on the bulletin board. it said:
