The first of the competitions set for early this year is currently on hold, awaiting word from the organiser. Hope to get back to you with more on this soon - when I hear you'll hear!


Any fan of vectors will know we have a big problem with miscats in the Vector gallery here on dA. You can help out by reporting any pieces you spot while browsing the gallery; and if you're friendly with someone send 'em a quick Note informing them that that raster texture, that Photoshop brush, that photographic background make their piece(s) suitable for a different Digital Art gallery

You can also point them to this previous Journal entry [link] if you think they might benefit from a quick brush-up on what's kewl, and what's not, for the Vector gallery on dA.


The holiday season saw a huge drop in suggestions so I'll renew my call for you to submit your suggestion or suggestions to me. The more suggestions I get the more vector DDs we're likely to see.

Keep in mind these are DDs you're suggesting, so quality counts!


Send these to me by Note.
Please include a thumb of the deviation or deviations.
Put "DD suggestions" or something like that in the subject line.
Please, only send me pieces that are in the Vector gallery!

I'd like it if you could include at least a few words about why you think it deserves to be featured; I like to know what it is you like about a choice and other members do too.

Although due to time constraints I won't respond to all your Notes suggesting DDs rest assured I will look at all you send me.


These are my monthly selections of cool/fun/wow pieces from the gallery to help highlight some of the best that the Vector gallery has to offer. Here are some of my personal favourites from this month's selection:

The first of the vector competitions coming up will be for vehicles, organised by =rjonesdesign

Prizes already in line include some collectibles and mags and AR suprema $Moonbeam13 has kindly provided a few more to sweeten the pot, including some subs and a tee. There will be five judges, including yours truly. All you vector vehicle artists keep your eyes peeled for more details on this and sharpen your, er, mice


Still far too many of these in our beloved gallery and I regularly find mis-categorised vexels and mixed-media pieces that have been here for a while but just haven't seen yet, so some clued-up vector fan is sure to have seen 'em at some point! You guys and gals can help out by reporting any pieces you spot while browsing the gallery; if you're friendly with someone send 'em a quick Note informing them that a raster texture, that Photoshop brush, a photograph in the background or wherever make their piece(s) suitable for a different Digital Art gallery

You can also point folks to this previous Journal entry [link] if you think they might benefit from a quick brush-up on what's kewl, and what's not, for the Vector gallery on dA.


The pace of suggestions has picked up of late, thanks all! Please keep your Notes rolling in.

It doesn't have to be something that was just posted; if you find an overlooked piece from a while ago do send it in. And it is okay to send more than one at one time if you'd like.

But remember folks, these are DDs you're suggesting so quality counts!
