Hey folks!
You may remember a while back we showed off some brand new thumbnails in #hq's Journal. Well, after many weeks of porting and tweaking based on community feedback, we finally got these brand new thumbs ready for beta testing!
The new thumbnails
UPDATE (May 19, 2012): Based on feedback received, we've updated the new thumbnails to be justified. Thumbnails are now spaced out across the rows, making them flush against the left and right sides of the page. When a browser's window is too small, justification cannot happen without leaving larger awkward spaces. In these cases, justification is turned off and thumbnails beco

Calling all 3D model renderers!
https://marian87.deviantart.com/ surprised me by making an awesome 3D computer model of one of my made-up car designs. I was very impressed, and quite flattered that he chose to make a model of one of my designs when there are so many cars to choose out there. it was great seeing a proper 3D version of my idea, from different angles - it looked just how I imagined it.
And that made me wonder. I wonder if anybody else would be interested in having a go. I mean, if you like cars, have nothing better to do, and would be interested of course.
I'm not asking for, or desperately wanting people to do this - no obligation at all. But I sure would b

A Note about Copyright and Crediting
Hello lovely people.
I'd just like to give you guys a reminder about three points of copyright that come up quite often and I think people are confused about. I don't want to see any of you get in trouble, so here's some things that you should remember:
Characters Ripped out of Games and Screenshots
Ripping models out of games and using them in your art is absolutely 100% not allowed on DA. This is considered a copyright infringement. Passing these around to others just makes things even worse. Please make sure you don't do this and don't use resources that have been taken from games.
I can't stress this enough, make sure any stock models

If you would like to make a Daily Deviation suggestion for the 3D gallery, you've come to the right place.
To suggest a deviation to be featured, simply send me a note with a thumb or link to the deviation. You can make multiple suggestions and are welcome to explain why you think it should receive a Daily Deviation, otherwise I will interpret the piece in my own way and not necessarily in the way you intend.
Here's a quick checklist to make sure your suggestion gets the attention it deserves:
:bulletgreen: I can only feature deviations in the Digital Art > 3-Dimensional Art section. If it's not 3D and you would like to suggest it, check
Announcing The Fan Fiction Article. Fan art and fan fiction, like the offering above, are a blast because artists get to wear their favorite stories; in my case the iconic "Blade Runner." Fan fiction and art are the new fashion.

I prefaced a recent article Eye See Therefore Eye Am,
with a quote from Roy Batty, the doomed replicant (android) who was given human emotions to be able to appreciate
all the wonders of life, including the visual, but afforded only four years of
lifespan to enjoy them.

The allure of Anthro Art is obvious to anyone who ever “owned” and loved a pet. (Only those who have never loved and shared lives with a pet speak of pet “ownership”!) Once a bond has been formed between a human and an animal the rigid distinctions between what is human and what is animal begin to fracture.
The definition of “being” becomes suddenly far more expansive. And soon the bonded human begins feeling spiritual affinities with the “animal” that are undeniably powerful and as “real” as any felt with other humans. The desire to leave all the lie
