It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Design Contest WIN 4000 POINTS, 20$ AND MORE!I've wanted to hold a design contest for a long time now, and finally I've gathered enough points to do it

Go here to browse entries: http://taravia.deviantart.com/favourites/55430170
What I'm looking for:
Everything! Wolves, foxes, fennec foxes, ferrets, servals, bobcats, tigers, other big cats, small cats, deers, dragons, gryphons, dogs, birds, hybrids, original species.. bring it!
I'm leaving the details to your imagination, but here are some things I really like:
-White base color with black and red markings<33 (mostly on canines)
-Cute and fluffy things! No need to go all big eyes and oversized heads, but animals with fur. Creepy and slimy things just aren't my thing.. Still don't be afraid to make something dark/evil
-Anything tribal
-Native american stuff
-Feathers!
-Tawny, golden, brown, white, red, blue, cyan, gray, black (well, not all combined)
-I like more natural base colors, but with smaller markings in unnatural colors like blue or red
-Long tails, big/long

Callibrate your Wacom tutorialHad you finally made the transition from intuos 3 to intuos 4?, or Are you rich to change into an intuos 5? Had you made the transition from a first generation cintiq to the new ones?. More levels of pressure will mean more quality to the paintings, am i right?.
Did you thought that by default the pen will it be like using butter on bread?, you try it for the first time and you love all of it, you said i have sooooooo much control on my strokes im having a blast. Then only to realize you only have total control of the brush but when you are moving it really slow?. But when you do quick strokes the pressure drops a lot of paint making you redraw tons of stuff?
Did you ever thought that painter its hard to handle with new tablet? Too much pressure? If it has more pressure why i cant control more easier the beggining of the stroke which is more crucial?.
Have you ever open the customize option in wacom settings, only to feel dumb and no

Subscriptions... have any of you paid for an upgraded dA account? I'm considering it, but I'm wondering how much I'd actually put it to use. For a start, I have no idea about programming or CSS, so how would I alter the visual set-up of my page? How did you go about it?
What are the most useful features of the upgraded account for you? The ads don't bother me enough to make me get an upgrade just to be rid of them.
Any other pros and cons?

*MadameProfessorSnape Jan 29, 2010

ads were a pain ion the ass. i like the Polls best. and the sitback slideshow

plus the Critique part is a good feature and twitter

*Queen-Uriel Jan 26, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

The adds didn't bother me until I got rid of them. LOL! Now, whenever I login on my stock they glare at me.

I think the journal and thumbs are the best of the subscription. I don't get much about CSS either, but there is a very simple way to use them now, DA itself gives you an automatic way to put them up. And the CSS that are also available otherwise have really easy instructions how to use and change (girl, if I managed, anyone can. LOL!)

About buying a subs, you have other options too. You can join contests or make comissions in exchange for them. That way, you won't spend your money and that feeling of "maybe I shouldn't have bought this" won't haunt you until you figure out all that's new.

I'll start a contest soon myself, with subs as prizes, if you feel interested, I can send you a note.

But to summon it up, A subscribed account in much neater and easy in my opinion.

*phantoms-siren Jan 25, 2010 Professional Digital Artist

I hate ads. I even have a paid account for my stock account because the ads really bother me.

I like being able to see 120 thumbnails and the CSS journals are ok if you get one that matches with the standard DevArt background. Very easy to use.

*chattenoir889 Jan 25, 2010 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I understand you completely. I had been wondering forever if it really was worth it...guess it took me about a year to finally gift myself with a subscription

, still, I don't regret it one bit...I don't understand anything about CSS/programming either and like everyone else says the journal skins are pretty easy to use, the widgets really do make a difference in your main page...I like displaying more than just one featured deviation and sharing a specific favorite collection...all the stuff you've read about and then there are STAMPS

...wicked, witty little things you can scream your ideas through--god bless people for making them!
It just does make it more amusing to be around your own stuff, easier to browse...I think you should try it

*morganlefay1958 Jan 24, 2010 Student Traditional Artist

I loath the ads, and I like the widgets.

*Ellygator Jan 24, 2010 Hobbyist General Artist

Same as what a few folks have already stated. I'm not too fussed about CSS in my journal - on most pages it actually looks weird to me to have some kind of dark purple with red spots or whatever design sticking out like a sore thumb for the journal on an otherwise gray page, but the option of posting thumbnails, sorting artminto sub-folders and displaying 120 thumbs at once is really nice. I have such diverse art, the sub-folders make it unnecessary for me to open several accounts at once. And I am out here so often, having a break from bloody ads is a big deal for me.

~ChiboaTheRat Jan 24, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I had one for three months once, when I won some contest. I didn't use it that much though, except for spying on visitors of my page(lol), stamps, browsing old art, the CSS layout (I wanted to create my own, but it's pretty complicted, so I modified a certain pre-made one.)
I also liked having more than just 4 drawings feautured on my page; it's fun having a subby, but when it's gone you don't really miss it.

~embieria Jan 23, 2010

I've had a sub for a good long while, on auto renewl - so when I switched banking account and forgot to switch it here, I found myself greatly annoyed with all the ads and not being able to browse 120 thumbnails. Really, those were the big features for me. Stamps are fun, and so are prettified journals, etc - but the ads bug me.

~northangel27 Jan 23, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I'd die without my sub. This is the only website I sub to.

I like the fact that you can view 120 thumbs at a time, the fact that you can use the journal skins that *dronarron talked about, that you can feature thumbs in your journal entries, that there are no ads (I know that doesn't bother you, but it really bothers me), the fact that you can have a portfolio that looks fairly professional, and doesn't appear to be linked to DA, if you provide a link to someone.

I also like all the widgets that are available on the main page, like having widgets that just feature a particular folder in your gallery, or your favorites. I also like the fact that you can have folders in your gallery and fave gallery (I'm sort of obsessive about being able to sort things, especially my faves).

I could really go on and on. Once I folded and bought a sub, there was no going back for me.

~Phantom-Moocat Jan 23, 2010

I got one when I gave one to a friend.

I didn't really use it, though. :/
