_{About the thumbshare forum - it's the place you want to be if you want to promote your art or just find some awesome art to view! People tend to post threads looking to view/fav/comment on certain art styles, but there's lots of variety in what people are looking for. Posting there definitely helps!}

Suggest some deviations!

If you have a suggestion of a deviation you think needs promoting, please drop me a note (please don't comment suggestions here) titled "Suggested by Reader", with a deviation (or more!) by someone else. The lower the the favs the better, but it's entirely up to you, suggest whatever you think should get featured. And not just art, it can be any kind of deviation what-so-ever!

Anyone who suggests art that is featured in the article gets mentioned as thanks

I'll only feature 1 thumb per artist, 3 thumbs per suggester an article, but feel free to suggest more and I'll save the others for future articles! I do this so everyone gets the greatest exposure possible


I'm also considering featuring clubs, chats, contests and other projects, so if you have any of those to suggest, do so! Again they must not be created by you, in the spirit of promoting others.

About the series

I believe that it's great for the community when people try to promote art by others as well their own art. Interaction between artists is paramount to an art community (duh!), but how can interaction really happen if artists only promote their own art? Get out there, take a look at other art and spread the word if you love it! It benefits you too remember

So, this series is all about getting people to promote work by other artists


The reason for the sub-headers is a) to promote the mini-communities around dA and b) to show what works when it comes to promotion, which places get a lot of response, etc.
