Giving to those who are truly in need

=ImaRawkStar:iconImaRawkStar: reports, December 23
This is the time of year of which we all get tangled up in our own troubles and do not focus on some of the real issues of the world. Well, heifer.org can help us with this, by giving animals to families who are truly in need of food, shelter and security.

By donating a small sum of money, such as ten to twenty dollars, you could provide a family with an animal such as a cow, which could produce milk for the family, for food and cooking. With the extra milk it produces, the family can go to the local market and sell the milk to gain more money, which could go towards food and shelter. Over time, the family will start to gain an income and will be able to earn an education.

With the education, they can receive a steady job and produce a stable income for the family to survive. Just by donating a small sum of money, you could not change one life, but many around them. But this is not just it, the family MUST produce offspring to give to another family, which will do the same thing as the family before. Over time, the community will grow and sooner or later, the impoverished areas will start to gain strength.


Even if you can not donate any money, please donate a few seconds or minutes by adding a favorite to this article and sending it on to other deviants around deviantart. It would be really awesome if we could get some support on this, and maybe as an art community we can pull together to help others in need! I know it can be done!

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.

SAAM Sexual Assault Awareness Month, April

=crystalofchaos:iconcrystalofchaos: reports, 1d 12h ago
Rape is not just a crime, it is a heinous and personal invasion on the most intimate of levels. Rape destroys lives and belittles its victims. End the silence, conquer fear, and speak up. We need to raise awareness and help prevent this inhumane crime.

DigitalMedia 3D Highlights!

*chromosphere:iconchromosphere: reports, September 28, 2006
Welcome to DigitalMedia 3D Highlights - Edition 2!

This is a monthly newsletter that focuses specifically on 3D artwork, and will include picks and reviews of arguably some of the best, and often overlooked 3D work out there, as well as eventually interviews, tutorials and in-depth reviews of works both past and present. We will try to keep this as varied as possible so as to bring you opinions and information on the world of 3D. We also listen to you and want your ideas! We will bring some of your best ideas to light.


Abstract 3D Reviews

This time around I want to focus on a particular style of 3D; abstract. For some, abstract 3D allows the artist to stretch and bend their mind and creativity to convey it in their artwork. We've seen some amazing pieces of abstract 3D design on this site over time and the three below are no exception.



by *Jesar is an awesomely intricate 3D abstract work that pulses with flow and creativity. This artist has a long history of trying new, unchallenged forms of abstract media and he does it well.



by =starfantazy takes on a different approach to 3D abstract by actually using many geometric forms, twisted around and placed to create a very unique, fresh style of abstract that you don't see just anywhere.



by ~perihelio flows with a naturally liquid, free-form feel and exudes originality in its basis of not only being an abstract, but also having true form. If you look closely you'll see elements of reality in this vivid world.



Abstract Tutorial Picks

Keeping in context with the theme of the article, below are 2 tutorials that explain various methods of abstract in various 3D applications. (Certain abstract tuts for certain 3D apps are extremely difficult to find, so I had to limit it to only 2.)


- A tutorial describing one method of abstract creation in 3D Studio Max.

- An abstract tutorial for Cinema 4D that explains just one of many ways to create abstracts in this application.


Thanks for taking the time to read through and keep an eye out for our next issue. If you have any suggestions on interviews or ideas on what you want to see related to 3D artwork, be sure to let us know!

We hope to have an interview of a popular 3D artist for our next issue, so do keep an eye out!

Please visit *DMchat, our #DigitalMedia account for more information about who we are and what we do.

Until then, stay devious. :devart:
