FEATURE: 2011 Summary of Art memes!Less than a day to 2012! It's time to show our year of art and hope the next one will be even better! Enjoy your fellow deviants' and your own works and improvement achieved in 2011! With your support, I hope this to become my annual art feature.
Not even half of people who voted they'll make a meme made one. How very disappointing. Just kidding! But, not to worry, I also picked some great memes by myself making it at least a big feature if not huge.

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

august feature-an im sorry featureyesterday was a free premium day where every one had pretty much premium membership for a day( i know self explanatory right) as you can see by my page i had added a few new things one being a section that was for permanent features  well.. by accident i deleted when i was editing stuff around not remembering i did , only to > tell every one that i featured them> go to sleep> wake up > and have some one who i featured tell me its not there... you dont know how embarrassed i am!!..i'm lol'ing as we speak..... so i figured i matter as well do another BIGGER feature and this time  feature a large amount of deviations of those who i  had on the permanent feature.. there  maybe others but the focus is on them . this feature will stay untill holiday times most likely november ....so there be mature content

Gone for a while + Feature Hi all! :icontardwaveplz:
Finals are coming up soon. I have 3 cumulative finals, 3 papers, 1 that tests on the 2nd half of the semester (so 2nd midterm? :confused:), and 1 online test. :crazy: Why I signed up for 8 classes is beyond me. :faint: Good part is, I'll be done with my bachelors degree in August (1 year early). :dummy: 
Anyways, I really have to start studying so I won’t log on to dA for a few weeks. Every time I log on, I'm like "30 minutes only" then I spend a few hours on here. I'm on Thanksgiving break right now, so I might be logging on a few times in the next couple of days but after that I won't log on again until December 16th. Not sure if I'll be able to handle life without dA. :tears: 
I also decided to do a giant feature. I figured if my profile page is going to remain the same for the next few weeks then it might as well serve a purpose so here’s some amazing art for you to look at and fav! :la: Take your time, it'll be here for a whi
big feature - great artwork from 2011I hope you've been enjoying the holiday season and I want to wish everybody a happy new year and hope 2012 will be a great year for you all!
feature
I've done an extra large feature showing some of the wonderful artwork that I've faved on DA this year.
I've grouped them together into the different months that each piece was submitted, starting with some of the most recent art that I have faved in December and going right back to January (Sorry I couldn't fit everyone and everything I wanted into the feature, and there's less art featured for the first few months of the year as I was not too active around then, I was running out of space to fit them on this journal too).
I have tried not to repeat works that I have featured in previous journals and I wanted to feature some the art I hadn't featured before, but I also wanted to feature some of my favourite artists and some of the great people I know on DA too.
There are some amazing artists and wonderful people here on deviantart and and
Treasures found in The FavouriteShowcase's galleryThese are some of the wonderful traditional (pencil or charcoal) works by talented members  of :iconTheFavouriteShowcase:

Traditional Art Favorites of 2011!

Journal Entry: Sat Dec 31, 2011, 1:28 PM
:iconnewyearplz:


Another year is over and it's time for my annual art feature of works submitted in 2011!
This is both my favorite and the most difficult art feature to make. After going through thousands and thousands of works you can imagine how hard it was to pick just some.

Artworks were chosen by different combination of the following "criteria":
general impression • emotion conveying • meaning of the artwork • pure awesomeness • idea/concept • originality • complexity • technique • quality • subject • incredible realism • great style • everything else I forgot to write

:tighthug: I even suggested it as DD! ...but I don't think they will ever feature it, it's been too long and no word. :crying:

*Ilojleen Jan 4, 2012   Traditional Artist
Really? Om my God, you're so sweet :squee: Thank you for that! I believe it's because it's 1) realistic fan art, which rarely gets a DD 2) one can receive a DD after 3 months of break [I got my previous/first in August, so not such a long time ago]. But thank you, sweetheart, that was very kind of you :iconcocoglompplz:
