Traditional Art Favorites of 20122011 • 2010 • 2009 • 2008
Another year is almost over and it's time for my annual traditional art feature of artworks submitted in the year of 2012!
This is my favorite, the most difficult and the most time consuming art feature to make, as well as the one I'm never really satisfied with: it's a real pain to decide which works to include in this little collection when, just from this small part of the most amazing works dA is filled with you have the luck to find and see each year, you have at least a few hundreds of top

BlahBlah + Big Weekly Features!EDIT: New "WATCHERS-FEATURE!" pt. 23 is out! http://diamond4girl.deviantart.com/journal/WATCHERS-FEATURE-pt-23-318773207 Also, let's make a test, wanna help? http://diamond4girl.deviantart.com/journal/Of-your-interest-lets-make-a-test-215574041

Nothing particularly interesting to share, you may want to skip right onto the features.
Reported the problem with drag and drop not functioning and it works now! After a few days of enjoying, we're on over 36°C again, so the new drawing I started recently will take way longer to finish. Decided for a double portrait I was mentioning, will try to work on the face now during the night if Rule of Four doesn't steal my attention. Only 80 pages to the end.

Now when I think about it, I may have been reading a bit too much in the last 3 or so weeks. About 2000 pages of various books in total.

And I could have used the "cooler" days for drawing, but yeah, you can't really control for what you'll be in the mood for the most. It sucks

The results

First, the results of that "Watchers Feature!" test some of you helped with: after 2 weeks there's still less Favs than people featured on the latest one [link] , but nonetheless, with some more Favs than usual, the feature ended up in the Footer for about a day and half and your works have been seen by 3-4 times more people than usual. (1100+ on the latest one vs. >400 views on the few previous ones). Thank you all who helped with the test.

I consider my theory relatively proved, so it's up to you what you do in the future. Btw, glad some of you finally figured out you can fav Journals!

Tutorial

In case you missed it, but you're interested, I wrote a little "tutorial" on making features, especially big/huge ones and all in extremely time saving and easy way AND with your thumbs all arranged nicely in your Journal [link] instead of the most tiring and time consuming ways most people do them.

New ACEO

I hope to submit a new work very soon. It was close to ending up thorn in pieces, had to re-draw the whole face and certain parts for several times :/ and, since I really like the ref and like how some other parts turned out, it was either settle down with the latest version of it and finishing the work, or giving up on it because it will never look the way I want, possibly also because I decided to include the second person in it so the whole thing had to be drawn in even smaller scale.
