So......how is everyone doing? Please don't comment on my lack of doing stuff around here. Right now I'm here to talk a little bit about a new idea that's sprung up:
DA Staff Appreciation Week. Why? Because it seems fair the we should give credit where credit is due. The staff and admins do so much for us, why shouldn't we give a little bit of that back? It would be a lot of fun for everyone and anyone involved.
I'm really not the best at explaining, so I'll just give you people the links and let you do what you want. We're still in the planning stage, but from what I can see, it's looking to be an epic event. ^0^

StaffAppreciation itself. (hurray for double links!

Every little bit of help is greatly appreciated, and I hope that we can make this project a reality!
Thanks!

Congratulations
on winning the April Monthly Challenge, sweetness:
fav.me/d3dchodThis month's challenge is fruit.
It's been pretty erratic with the judging schedule (I mean, I honestly got confused), so it's been decided that all entries must be in by May 31 (10:00 EST). Any submissions later than that will not be accepted. The folder will be closed by then. Judging will take place within the next two days and the theme will be announced at the fifth day after latest.
MONTHLY CHALLENGE FAQ
What is the Monthly Challenge?It's just a fun feature to the group. Nothing more, nothing less.
How is the judging done?The admins will decide on which art they believe is most deserving. We try not to judge using quality control and art is usually chosen through cuteness, creativity, and the amount of effort put in. Judging will be done in the first two days of the following month. Please note that admins are allowed to enter as well.
What's in it for me?These aren't really contests, so you won't get something like a request or points. The winner for each month can select the challenge for the next month.
What kind of challenges are there?It all depends on what the previous winner wants it to be. It could honestly be anything whether it's fan art for a particular character, something related to an event that month, or even using certain types of technique/coloring.
How many entries can I submit per month?There's no limit.

OTHER NEWSI've been really considering another contest, but in order for that to happen, I will need input on contest ideas. Also, if anyone is willing to donate prizes, please feel free to speak up.
