Earlier today, DeviantArt released an announcement explaining what "Core Membership Is..." To complement that announcement, I've penned a few of my own thoughts about what Core Membership means to me.
DeviantArt owes its existence to its community. The inspiring, pulsating life force that began 15 years ago with a small group of artists and art appreciators has grown more than anyone could have ever imagined. A true force of motivation and support on the Web, our community is one-of-a-kind in its service to the artistic greater good. And it always has been.
Whether you take the extra moment to answer a Note from a student of art hoping to

Celebrate DeviantArt's 15th Birthday!
As DeviantArt enters its 15th year on the Internet, we want to take a moment before blowing out our candles to thank the community for allowing us the honor of hosting the site that you call your home for art. After all, it's the community's 15th birthday, too, and in the past few months, we've been making it our top priority to share with you our plans for the future, celebrate the successes of our past, and look to you for guidance on how best we can serve each of you while entering this new phase of DeviantArt's existence.

As mentioned in last week’s Beginnings of Site Simplification journal and the new DeviantArt Timeline, we’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how to make DeviantArt a simplified and unified experience — ultimately leading to increased participation from new and longtime deviants, adding more favourites, comments, and deviousness to the site as a whole.
Because DeviantArt has been around for nearly 15 years, we recognize that the site has accumulated a number of terms, words, and names for our various features and functions — some of which have multiple or similar meanings, and many of which increase confusion around

Hatred. by RabidOctopus (https://www.deviantart.com/rabidoctopus)
Suggester says: It's a poem about one of his characters,
a sadistic murderer. This poem is dark, intense and well-written.
It really deserves some more attention.

Voyage to the Unknown: Sculptures
I was tagged by the wonderful Mrs-Freestar-Bul (https://www.deviantart.com/mrs-freestar-bul) to participate in this great feature initially conceptualized by Mrs-Durden (https://www.deviantart.com/mrs-durden). The idea is that you browse a category that is relatively or wholly unfamiliar to what you normally check at DA, and showcase the art that captures your interest. I'll tag some folks at the end of this, and any one who sees this can consider themselves tagged as well :) It'd be amazing if it inspires you to create your own feature based on the concept, or simply sharing the art and supporting the artists will be enough :la:

Loveless Midnight #1 - Armor of the Ages by MidnightExigent, journal
Loveless Midnight #1 - Armor of the Ages
Be it in wars of ancient times or the present conflicts of humankind
Whether in the wildest battles of science fiction and epic fantasy combined
Ranging our past long gone or imagined futures far off
There is always striking armor worn by the defenders and offenders of warring factions
Ready for the daunting clash of fatal interaction
Designed to protect, intimidate and impress, they serve the same purpose in every realm
Dull iron, shiny chrome, simple or intricate
The paladin, the space marine, the dungeon keeper, the cybernetic,
Try bullets, swords or lasers
Metal versus metal
In any place, any age, any plane of reality
Standing against t
