devMeet at Denver Comicon!

Journal Entry: Fri Apr 5, 2013, 2:09 PM


Journal


It is a go! The Meet will happen Saturday, June 1st, though a specific time won't be announced until we get a tad closer (that way I can try and schedule around big panels and such). All information on the con can be found on the con's  website, so come take a look for specifics.

Also, as for specific place, that will be decided Friday May 31st as I need to go scope the place out on the first day of the con since I have no idea how they'll be using the convention center. I'll send out an announcement with all final details that Friday afternoon, and you guys can always reach me through note or twitter (@KataraAlchemist) if you need any info.

The con itself runs from May 31st to June 2nd and will be held at the Colorado Convention Center. It is very easy to get to by lightrail or bus, so I advise parking somewhere else and then taking the lightrail/bus in because parking will be a bitch.

There's gonna be some awesome special guests at the con, including the amazing Stan Lee on Sunday! Jim Steranko, Felicia Day, George Takei, Dee Bradley Baker, and more will also be there.

And! And. I've got goodies to give away to you lovely people including:
:bulletblack: One dA Nomad Bag
:bulletblack: One Fella Plushy
:bulletblack: One Trollface Napsack
:bulletblack: A few emote buttons
:bulletblack: And premium memberships!

Yeah. I'm totally taking advantage of the devGEAR closing sale to shower you guys with presents.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to comment on this journal or shoot me a note. I hope to see lots of you lovely people in a couple months!

(Also, I'll be there all three days of the con so if you want to hang out on one of the other days shoot me a note!)

Who's coming to my devMEET at Denver Comicon? We're ten days out from the con and eleven from the meet! All info here: [link]

Tutorials and Guides


Getting Critique Without a Premium MembershipI have run two premium membership giveaways in the past few months and my rules are always the same: Fave the article about the contest, you must not have a current membership, and you must give me a reason as to why you want the membership. In each contest the most common reason has been wanting to receive critique. This somewhat baffles me, because it's so easy to receive critique without the fancy platform. You don't need that to get critique, and trust me, it doesn't guarantee you're going to get it. I have a ton of my pieces critique enabled and I'm lucky to get one good critique every couple months. But despite that it is still the most common reason I hear when it comes to wanting a membership. So I've decided to put together a little guide as to other ways to get critiques to help people get the feedback they want to see.
Groups for receiving feedback and critique.

A Guide To Creating A Suggestion for DeviantART:iconhappywaveplz: Hello everyone! This document will break down several things related to creating visual and written suggestions on deviantART! The topics we will cover are:
What is a deviantART related suggestion?What types of suggestions are there?Where can I make a suggestion?What should I consider when making a suggestion?How do I make a visual suggestion?How do I make a written suggestion?What are some examples of good suggestions?How can I get recognition for my suggestions?
What is a suggestion?
A deviantART related suggestion is a visual or written representation of an idea that you believe would improve the functioning of deviantART in any way. You can design a whole new feature you would like to see, or you can design a change to an old feature.
What types of suggestions are there?
There are two types of suggestions: visual and written. Visual suggestions are visual representations of ideas on how to improve the site. They are a clear, conc
Common Forum Topics Addressed: Art CollegeWhat is this article about?
As someone who spends an extensive amount of time in the forums I can honestly say that the same questions come up over and over again. Things about college, how to use certain programs, how to take commissions, etc. So I've decided to do an article series about these questions. There won't be a regular schedule to these, since they'll only be written when I start to see an abundance of the same questions coming up. Mostly, I just want to have something to link to so I don't have to write the same response to these questions over and over again.
Our first topic is going to be college related questions. If you have any suggestions for future topics, don't hesitate to note them to me for consideration.
Should I go to Art College?
What college you go to is definitely an important decision, and one you should think very carefully about. It is true that art can be self taught through the internet, but what

Hello! I am wondering if :icondevioussuggestions: is still active, cause I've tried to contribute 3 times and my submissions have expired twice. :saddummy: (if it's cause you guys have finals coming up I get that, I can reapply when you have more time. :))

Yeah, we all have been pretty busy lately, sorry! Try checking out #deviantART-Related as it is a bit more active. I'll try and keep a better eye on #deviousSUGGESTIONS as well though. :)

Hey, thanks for locking that useful thread in the Deviants forum! I was afraid for a second that something useful might help people on this site, but good thing there's a power-obsessed bureaucrat ready to lock it for kind of, sort of, not really breaking any rules!

Keep up the great work! Oh, and your art is just so inspired and poignant. I'm impressed!

If you have an issue with my actions please take it up with $Moonbeam13, there is no need to come to my page and be rude. The thread did not encourage discussion, thus it was locked as threads that do not encourage discussion aren't allowed in the forums.

Please don't come white-knighting on my page again. If you have an issue with my actions either contact $Moonbeam13 or note me privately.

That's not what "white-knighting" means, and thank you, I will take it up with your superiors.

I just have a quick question before I decide whether to bother you with a note ^^
If we ask for some help, say with promoting a group, how would you help with that?
If you have any tips that I could learn from to help promote my group or my friends groups that would be great
