Marissa's Bunny

*o-PixelPixie-o:icono-PixelPixie-o: reports, 2d 20h ago
This is a link to a site devoted to getting out awareness of a disorder called Infantile Spasms. There is as of yet no cure for this disorder, and the treatment for it (anti-epileptic medicines) can have serious side-effects. Symptoms generally start to appear between 3-6 months and stop by age 5-6. Though I.S. resolves itself, many children who develop it will develop other types of seizures which may last their entire life.

This father, blogging about his child and his own attempts to cope with and raise awareness of this disorder really touched me, and I simply thought I'd share it. If you think you have a good forum for spreading this awareness even further, I encourage you to do so.

Be PROUD of your ART

=yuki-the-vampire:iconyuki-the-vampire: reports, July 17
Once I just simply realised that there came a moment when it became very hard for me to remember all my devwatchers, all the dear people commenting my works... There is 1.5K of you, guys and girls, and I wish I could know you all by heart.

So I decided to ask you to share with me the deviation that you like the most from the ones you've submitted at DA so far... with a comment, why you like it. I also promised to write a comment to every work saying why I like it.

That's how this feature was created. It took a while, and I wish I could spend more time on it, as well as more people have replied on my journal...maybe next time.

You're proud of your works. And I'm proud of YOU. They all have a story behind, and show that there're REAL people at DA, it's a real community, and the deviations submitted here are not just a neverending stream of images. They all have their stories and a precious meaning to the Artist.

Now please sit down, and enjoy.

:heart:





1.:star::icontoxicoxygen: showed us

~ToxicOxygen says:Well, I'm quite proud of the body, and the face. I'm often not that good, but this time it looks pretty good, especially the foot! And I also love my vibrant CGing~

4.:star::iconm0riendi: showed us

=m0riendi says:It's my grandfather and I love it because it was a very special day to me. It was about 2 months after he had a stroke (he recovered pretty fast but he capacity too speak stayed a little confused) so, he change the names of things and people very easily and he knows that so he stays pretty sad about it.
To the point now: My name is Rita, and my mother is known as Mena so my grandfather at that time called me Rena (a mix of the two) and every time he tried to call me he became upset so in that day me and my mom took him to the beach for a walk, and...
...when I was distracted taking some pictures I just heard his voice calling me "Rita" I looked at him, he looked to my mum to like asking if that's the right name and my mum said yes and them, he stayed so happy that he started to sing my name "Rita, Rita, Rita!"
:giggle:
I almost cried :)
Was an happy day for me :nod:


Yuki: It's a touching photo and even more touching is the story behind it... Gives me tears in the eyes as I remember my beloved Grandfather :heart: Thank you so much Rita for sharing this photo with us :hug:

7.:star::iconfantabulicious: showed us

~fantabulicious says:It's one of my few completed work. I loved creating it, and all it's other verison (trust me there were many). I enjoy the colors the layout and really, it is exactly how I'd want my own CD cover to be had I a band.

12.:star::iconjones6: showed us

*Jones6 says:I like this because it came out well, and also because it was the first time I'd inked like that, and now I really like it. :D

Yuki: Ted is a very cool character, and I love the linework with different thickness of lines, which gives a really nice effect!




13.:star::iconmricekirby: showed us

~MrIcekirby says:It's almost like a photograph. It took a while to mold mountains and find the perfect angle and size for the sun. What a vacation that was.

Yuki: It's a very well-done digital work! I love the colour, which are not too contrasted and very pleasant to the eye :-)




14.:star::iconlackia: showed us

~Lackia says:I like this one the best because I'm not very good with drawing digatally yet, but this deviation came out alright. Also because it's my first fanart for Avatar, a series I like.

Yuki: I like a lot the contrasted colours of this piece! ^^




15.:star::iconvalevioleta: showed us

~ValeVioleta says:Okey... I choose this picture beacuse i love my mum and i love take her pictures...

16.:star::iconpiripanda: showed us

*Piripanda says:This is my cat Lucky, and i really adore her, she's such a good listener too ^___^.
And sometimes i feel bad and she just sits with me and starts to purr.
I love how her eyes look in this picture, it's one of my favourites from her.


Yuki: It's a lovely portrait of a lovely cat :-) I think that all the cat fans should check this work out, the eye colour is so rare!




17.:star::iconsoupcomplex: showed us

~Soupcomplex says:I feel like it's the most creative and least creative thing I've ever done.

Yuki: It's an original and very fun plushie, yay :aww:




18.:star::iconmazuiko: showed us

~Mazuiko says:it's my favorite because it's cute
& it was my first drawing at that perspective, which to me was fun to do & seemed to come out pretty nicely.


Yuki: Fun and cute digital work, with lovely colours and so nice character :aww:




19.:star::iconaryaabbie: showed us

*AryaAbbie says:because it was just meant to be a test shot and the lighting was just so perfect and it really captured my subject and showed her. I'm just way in love with it :)

Yuki: Very honest and simple portrait, with the model's beautiful expression...




20.:star::iconstaroceanfanatic: showed us

~StarOceanFanatic says:I like this one because of the overall silliness of it. It makes me smile everytime I look at it, just because I'm eating paper!

Yuki: It's really so funny :giggle:




21.:star::iconalannavich: showed us

~Alannavich says:This one is a poem called Tone Deaf, it's a palindrome poem and I chose it because of how hard it was to write, and how proud I am of myself that I actually got it to work! (its a poem that can be read forwards and then backwards word for word, and still make sense!)

Yuki: Awesome piece, a lot of work put in it, needs to be seen! :-)




22.:star::iconalchemickyuubi: showed us

~AlchemicKyuubi says:I picked this one because it has a lot of meaning behind it for me. Most of my things are just fan art or pictures of random people which is fun to draw and look at, but they don't have the meaning behind them like this, and I really put my all into it. I'm also very pleased with the way it came out, I love water color pencils and I love the vibrant colors and shading in this. I've improved since I did this, but when I did do it, I took a huge leap in terms of experimenting around with a different style.

Yuki: I like the rainbow colours ^^:-)




23.:star::iconseijakukitsune: showed us

~SeijakuKitsune says:right now i love the way this one turned out

Yuki: It's a very nice origami work with a positive way to show it!




24.:star::iconanthylorrel: showed us

=anthylorrel says:I love this one, because it helped me prove to myself that I can still do what I do. :D

Yuki: Lovely blue&;purple tones and a rich background!




25.:star::iconalena-light: showed us

~alena-light says:This work is my favourite - I like the colour shades, the beaded beads, the length and the fact that this beaded rope is mine (^

Yuki: Awesome piece of jewellery, a dream of every girl :-) I love how delicate and elegant is this rope, and how shiny are all the beads. Bravo!




26.:star::iconstipend: showed us

~stipend says:i feel most successful with this piece

Yuki: It's a nicely done work with a good shading and simple, yet charming look.




27.:star::iconfiguer: showed us

~Figuer says:It is the first and only modular origami ball I have invented and it is named after =wolbashi, one of my dearest friends.

Yuki: I'm always impressed by ~Figuer's works! And this time, I can also say, that calling this origami ball a name of His friend is so nice! Great idea :-)





28.:star::iconamaltheea: showed us

*Amaltheea says:I think it is this one,at least for the moment, but it depeds on my mood. I like this really much because i think i did a good job with materials i did't use before. I love it to work with new materials and new techniques and to discover new things :)

Yuki: Awesome, simple and elegant necklace, a beautiful fusion between re and gold.




29.:star::iconkickthebucket: showed us

~kickthebucket says:'cos it was fun to make :D & I like how they come out... I really wanna eat them :giggle:

Yuki: I love them, they're so original, yummy, colourful and nicely made!




30.:star::iconrainbowfever: showed us

~RainbowFever says:Mostly because I thought I'd never be able to do anything that's got to do with a poem, and, surprise, I did!
Also, this poem stands up for what I believe in, and how the think, and what I think about.
It's like taking a very small peep into my world. :giggle:


Yuki: A nicely written work, really worth to be read :-) Please have a minute to do this! ^^




31.:star::iconpocchan: showed us

~pocchan says:I choose thi one because is dedicated to gothic lolita style (in this art sweet lolita) and because I really love to wear GL clothes *-* And, of course, beacuse she's sooo cute çOç

Yuki: I like it because it's sweet and yummy, makes me want to eat a nice cake :3




32.:star::iconakiranyo: showed us

~akiranyo says:I think this one turned out the best and my friends agree with that too.
Also is a very less known anime series, glad that I was the first who made something really serious from it.


Yuki: It's so nice and professionally done, really good vector work :-) Bravo!




33.:star::icontheflyingcat: showed us

~TheFlyingCat says:I like this one because it's one of my first photographs and I really like how it came out :aww: It was from a shop near school and everyone was looking kinda weird at me because I was taking a lot of shots :giggle: I also like it because it's taken with my mobile and the quality is pretty good :)

Yuki: So sweet! We all love candies ^^And for a photo done with a mobile phone, it's just awesome :3




34.:star::icondaaram: showed us

=daaram says:for thousands reasons...

Yuki: Well, it's the BEST Dog in the world :heart: Thanks to it and to the DD, I met =daaram and we're happily together :heart: And, the photo is really AWESOME :heart::heart::heart:




35.:star::icontiramisu-soup: showed us

~tiramisu-soup says:I've choosen this picture because Alice is my idol.

Yuki: I like it a lot! The colours are nicely soft, and - it's Alice! (I've never met anyone who didn't like her!)





36.:star::iconhalf-a-cookie: showed us

~half-a-cookie says:Dunno, for some reason it reminds me of a good time... It's an image i just created accidentally. And it turned out surprisingly well.

Yuki: Simple, yet charming, red hearts in the sky remind us to love each others every day :heart:




37.:star::iconsadik18: showed us

~sadik18 says:it has definetly become one of my favourite works because of the amount of wok it required(set up, make up, photography, post processing). I love the concept of this separation between an individual and the rest of the world. Don't we all feel like that sometimes?


Yuki: I like it because the tones are soft and calm, and the idea is just great :-)




38.:star::iconniekje-chan: showed us

~niekje-chan says:hey are such cute characters and I like both of them very much. I put a lot of time in it painting them. :nod:
They are illustrations that I made for a piano book and it will hopefully sold in the christmas period :D hope you like them to.


Yuki: Simple, warm and positive! Be sure to check out the second one as well: [link]




39.:star::iconraegis: showed us

*Raegis says:No one else seems to like this very much, but I'm really proud of the colouring here :3 I secretly like bright colours, hehe.
The line art may suck, but the colours!
The colours!!
XD Yeah, I'll stop now.


Yuki: Nicely done digital work with juicy colours =3 I like it =3 The details on the clothes are just awesome!




40.:star::iconaliushka: showed us

~Aliushka says:this is my first digital artwork...This is most important for me as it was a big step up.


Yuki: If that's the first digital work, I really can't wait to see the next ones! Great ^^




41.:star::iconsalomea: showed us

~Salomea says:I really don't know why I like this pic so much. There are lots of anatomy mistakes, shadows are no-good and folds of her clothes are unnatural, but even so I cannot dislike this pic >__>...I don't know, maybe it's haunted or possessed by somekind of devilish powers? XDD


Yuki: I like this work mostly because of the movement of the clothes and the hair ^^




42.:star::iconaky-watari: showed us

~aky-watari says:Because I never thought I was going to be able to do a cross-light photo, and I did it! With a fairy! On my house's roof!


Yuki: We all love fairies! And this one was sitting on the house's roof ^^ AWESOME :D




43.:star::iconjessie-moo: showed us

*Jessie-Moo says:I like this one becuase it was the last drawing my grandpa looked at before he died a couple days ago. His burial was yesterday :invisible:



Yuki: :-( I understand you so well :-( I wish my grandpa could see my works too, to see how I improved...




44.:star::iconabt-nihil: showed us

~Abt-Nihil says:because it combined several things I am not used to doing, from the motif to the coloring style, and I am quite confident it turned out well. Also, it was a commission for a friend (so, free :D), and even though I always try my best it is never guaranteed that requests come out as good as depicting mtofis which I choose myself (you can choose what you think may suit yourself more) - but in this case it came out better than I expected.

Yuki: And that's GREAT! The lines, the colours... it's really an awesome work :hug:




45.:star::iconmashmaro: showed us

~Mashmaro says:Mine...this

Yuki: I like it because the're so many happy colours, it's really a pleasure to watch =3




46.:star::iconsilver-dew-drop: showed us

=Silver-Dew-Drop says:I like this one a lot coz I'm proud how it turned out, but also it has deeper meaning for me as well. You see this world is so full of darkness, so full of hate, discrimination, violence, wars, murders,... what the world needs is some light... a reason to put one foot in front of the other to keep on walking through this life...

This small beauty also is a symbol of light and love and thankfulness... how something so small can mean so much... that no matter who you are or what you do, there is always a light which shines within you :heart:


Yuki: Very delicate, simple and elegant... I love the delicate transparency of the petals and the out-of-focus background, giving a good impact to the flower.




47.:star::iconxsweetintoxicationx: showed us

~XSweetIntoxicationX says:I like it because. . . . it looks like a painting and it has such a peaceful. . . look. . .and stuff. :shrug:


Yuki: Simple and soft sunset, bringing to you a lot of warm and optimistic thoughts for the next day... Great :-)




48.:star::iconnezumisama: showed us

~NezumiSama says:This one I love the most. Nothing really special about the way it looks but it means so much. I was trying to do vexel art and I was horribly bad at it and I didnt like the subjets i was working on.... And everything.
And theres this little furry ball that came into my life, called Yuki. I have other rats And I love them as much and don't get me wrong on that, all my rats are special in their own way and I love them all... But Yuki's just... almost human. He's always there for me, and he seem to understand me more than my other rats... When Im pretty sad or upset he manage to open his cage and come to me.
He's my lover.
Anyways that was the first picture ever I took of me and him and I turned it into a ... "something" art. And later , due to all my computers problem I lost the picture and thats all whats left of our first day together. This image and memories. And love.


Yuki: So nice work... Makes me miss my little Coffee, my beloved rat, my real baby :heart: Thank you so much for sharing this work :aww:




49.:star::iconchildprodigy17: showed us

~ChildProdigy17 says:because the dragon has a lot of character and the picture looks like it's capturing a moment in time.

Yuki: Drawings of dragons are always so nice :-) And this is also so nicely purple :-) Love it!




50.:star::icon23demonshadows23: showed us

~23DemonShadows23 says:It came across completely by accident, but I love the darker, diseased feel, and how I can imagine what her expression is..

Yuki: It's a nice manip, making a photo look like a real painting :-)
