All deviants will be receiving a note from me linking them to this article so they know how this thing is going down. Which brings me to...

How This Thing is Going Down

To make this easier to swallow, we're going to break the process up into little bites. I'll outline a tentative project calendar for you--you don't have to follow it religiously; each RDS pair can do this at their own pace. This calendar is just to help streamline everything and keep up all on roughly the same page.

1 April

RDS partners announced. Deviants will be noted with a link to this article.

2 April

Get to know each other and browse each others galleries.

Fill in this template and note it to each other:

Username:
Name:
Where are you from?
Where are you headed?

In a nutshell, who are you?
What do you do beyond deviantArt?
What are some little-known or random facts about you?

Art galleries you submit to:
Art gallery and category you submit to most often:
Tools of the trade:
Show me three deviations from your gallery that best illustrate who you are:
What motivates or inspires you?

How did you get started with the type of art(s) that you do?
Who are your favourite artists or inspirations in this area?
How did you find out about deviantArt?
Are you involved in any clubs or projects in the community? If so, which ones and why?
Do you know any of the deviants on dA outside of the site?

What are your music habits?
TV?
Movies?

Say you're in charge of dA for a day. What would you do?
Is there anything you'd change?

Feel free to add or alter questions as you like! You may want to browse your partners gallery before your mini-interview session to see if there's anything specific to them or their art you'd like to know.

3 April

It's time for the comment frenzy! Give a really thorough, constructive, detailed comment on one or more of your partner's deviations.

Bad example: Good composition. I like the colours.
Good example: I love the way you framed the shot to show the surroundings but still bring the viewer's eye to the intended subject. It's a great use of natural framing. The complimentary colours also make this shot really eye-catching...etc., etc.

4 April

Feature your new friend! Whether you're a subscriber or not, you can give some journal space to your new-found buddy. Show off their art, tell people about them and what you've learned about them; I'm not going to stipulate how much to feature or for how long to do it: just show them some love!

5 April

Report back, priavte! Stop by the UDRP forum thread so you can tell us all about your experience--who you met, what you learned, all the fun you had, and how, in one way or another, the experience helped you to grow. We'll have storytime! :]


URDP is nutritious and delicious.
Studies show URDP to be beneficial to deviant health and well-being. Among other benefits, we now know that URDP:

Promotes community spirit and brings about lovely deviant friendships.
Helps develop better commenting skills.
Aids deviants in improving their art and develop their style.
And much, much more!



If you have any comments, problems, or questions, feel free to note me.
