TH Headlines: "City Life" Winner & July Features

~TalentHaven:iconTalentHaven: reports, August 1, 2007
Welcome to *TalentHaven's first Club Newsletter


*TalentHaven is a club dedicated to helping you get your art out into the community.

We endeavour to help you learn how to do this yourself, while also promoting our members at every opportunity. Read more...


In this article you will find:

  • The winner of our first Art Challenge announced and the next theme given

  • Top Tutorials

  • Features of art submitted to dA by our club members in July






Art Challenge

    Each week we will be running a 6-day challenge with a theme given. More details here. The challenges are only open to club members, but joining the club is simple and everyone's welcome!

    This weeks theme was "City Life".


    Here are the entries:





    And the winner is...

    by ~0basje0

    :clap: Congratulations ~0basje0! You will be featured in *TalentHaven and =eldris's journals for a week :D

    If anyone would like to donate prizes or journal features for our art challenges we would appreciate it and we would add your name to a sponsors journal



    Here's a treat for our members reading this article! We're announcing the next challenge one day early so those who read our article will have an extra day to work on their entries :D

    As I'm sure you all know, deviantART's birthday is fast approaching (7th August), so in honour of that this week's theme is "Gift"

    Good luck with you entries! You have until 23:59 GMT Tuesday 7th August. Please read the full rules of our challenges before entering. Thank you!





Top Tutorials

    Our aim is not just to help our members become recognised, but also to help them improve their art and help them make the most out of deviantART. One of the ways we do this is by providing a list of tutorials we feel will benefit them.

    Here are just a few from our list:

    :bulletblue: Guide to Giving Good Critique by ~ThePhotoCritic - An excellent guide that gives a brief structure for writing better comments and then explains in-depth how to write critique. Although it aims at writing comments on photography, it could also be applied to other art forms.

    :bulletblue: ABC to Manipulation by ~Eilorendil - A collection of tutorials that take you right through the manipulation process, including where to find stock and what tools to use.

    :bulletblue: How to Optimise Photoshop for Digital Painting by =Norke - Norke offers a handy guide in maximizing your experience with Adobe Photoshop. This is a must read!

    :bulletblue: Storylining Technique by ~frostbain - If you often have trouble devising your storyline, frostbain offers a helpful method that would keep you on track while writing your story, and not to mention, to keep your story flowing coherently.

    Please note the writers of these tutorials are in no way affiliated with *TalentHaven





July Features

    We'd love to be able to feature something submitted in July by all our members, but there's just not enough space in an article. So here's a few of the many deviations submitted to dA in July by our members.

    Please click the thumbs and give them the love they deserve :D

    :bulletblue: Portrait




    :bulletblue: Landscape




    :bulletblue: Square




    :bulletblue: Literature






Thank You

    Thank you greatly for taking the time to read our article. Please check out the gorgeous galleries of our club members. Many of them are not getting the views, comments and critique that they deserve. We hope you can find the time to go through at least one of our members' galleries today :)
