_{About #ARSTOCK - If you're a stocker, and even if you're not!, #ARSTOCK is a great place to hang out. The people there are always really friendly and chatty. It's a great place to promote your stock if you're a stocker, or to find stock if you're a photomanipulator.}

_{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 something!

If you have a suggestion of a deviation, club, chat or anything else you think needs promoting, please drop me a note (please don't comment suggestions here) titled "Suggested by Reader", with a deviation, chat, club, etc created by someone else. Suggest whatever you think should get featured.

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

I'll only feature 1 deviation per artist, 3 deviations and 2 non-deviations 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

About the series

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

So, this series is all about getting people to promote creations by other deviants


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.
