Gallery Updates

You probably know already, but `aeterne has left the position of Gallery director behind. Life has claimed yet another victim. *plays taps* So that Leaves Me all by my lonesome running this big gallery for a while. Please be patient with your reports, and send notes to me with good subjects if you want my attention. I go through my notes first thing. If you send me a note with the subject "hello" I may not read it first, if it happens to be a DD suggestions, and thats all I'm going through my notes for, you might get left out. So make sure your DD suggestions indicates that's what they are in the subject, if its an important issue, say something in the subject that will make me read it. I am here for you always.

`aeterne will continue being a part of the bi-weekly contests! Yay! So nothings really changed in regards to those. I will continue to rely on her for translations from our polish deviants. Tomorrow the new theme and winner will be posted, so watch the news!

I want to thank everyone for their warm wishes on my birthday last week! I was amazed at how many messages I got! haha! thank you


The =AoAClub (Appreciation of Admins club) is under new management. I'm hoping you will check them out, and possibly join their ranks!

Spotlight Deviants
Formally featured artists, Spotlight deviants, are deviants that are here because they do a little more for the community, their friends or the artists around them. their artistic skill in not whats being featured but their kindness,and devotion to the members of DeviantArt. If you know of someone who deserves a spotlight send me a link and tell me why your nomination should be a spotlight deviant.



For my very first spotlight deviant, I thought it would be a good idea to feature someone very important to me personally. =RockGirl1582 came into my world shortly before i became a gallery director, and since then, she has grown to be someone I can really trust and respect. Besides her supportive comments, and friendly personality, she's an extremely strong person I can always look up to. When things get rough, Rocky is always there for me. I would really appreciate if you would go to her page and leave her some comments on her art, because its well worth the visit, and there is no one more deserving!

Featured Deviations

Sometimes we get DD suggestions that don't quite make the cut to be a DD, or are from different galleries but are Manga/Anime related. We can feature those here!
