Random Emote Awesomeness - Volume 11Volume 11 in the series that showcases a random variety of emoticons: some old, some new, some by seasoned emoticonists, some by new artists. There's no real rhyme or reason as to which pieces are featured. Sometimes I pick a theme such as animals, other times it's just whatever strikes my fancy. Below are the current group of awesome emotes hand-picked by me (and sometimes a guest). Much like the title, this News feature will publish a bit randomly. Maybe weekly, maybe every third Thursday, maybe three days in a row--but hopefully at least once a month.

I am a huge fan of fan-art emotes and this one is great. Readily recognizable and lovely white shading.

Master of Elements by ~KinnisonArc is a really impressive emote scene. Each of the elements gives an intense sense of power and the image in the middle just helps the elements flow together. The emotes in each corner fit really well and the expressions help give a sense of individuality to each Master.
2.

The bright colours of the lava in Hanging on for Dear Life by ~PokeartKid really grabbed my attention. The details included in the whole background really help bring the scene to life and give a realistic feel to the situation.

I found ~litecrush and =Indae’s entry to the ‘Opposites’ themed collab event a really interesting twist on the theme. Both sides have been nicely pixelled with a clever link between them to make a single great piece of work.
2.

I just love how ~ROBlNHOOD has managed to animate a range of different water themed items into H2O in one fluent emoticon. Each has a great feel to it and some of the special effects really shine through

Character emotes aren’t always easy to master, but :devsparklyde

Hanging on by =Indae is an amusing little scene and a fun variation on a contest theme. I love the details packed into the background especially the awesome water effect. Small additions like the eyepatch and emoticon expressions just add to the whole feel of the scene giving a great atmosphere.
2.

It’s hard to take your eyes of Boing by ~horber95. The flawless shading, adorable expression and smooth animation just make the emoticon flow and easily capture your attention.

The ABCs of Deviants: BlissfullySarcastic

To read the introduction to this series, please re-direct yourself to this article.
This issue’s letter is:
B
The deviant that is being featured and interviewed today is:
:iconblissfullysarcastic:
`BlissfullySarcastic
First off, could you give us a brief introduction of yourself?
Yo! <3 My name is Kristen, but most people know me as Bliss. I'm eighteen years old and live in the U.S.A.
What gave you the idea to register with your username?
BlissfullySarcastic was a pen name of mine, and this account was originally for lurking and writing, so I figured I'd use the same name. Oxymorons...fun stuff.
How has deviantART changed your life?
I've never really thought about it. Huh.
It glued me to my computer, if that counts as changing my life. It taught me how to trollolololo

Seniority Announcement - 11th Birthday EditionThis article celebrates our latest additions of Senior members in our community.
:faq29:
So what does it take to become a Senior? That's a question many have asked and have never really been able to get a straight answer on. Some have gained Seniority as a thank you for their time spent as a Volunteer, or to recognise their contribution to a particular project or collaborative action. Some have gained Seniority because of their community spirit, providing help and assistance to many other deviants and taking time out to promote the work of others in the community.
Some people have received Seniority because of their artistic endevours, having a positive influence on their peers by sharing resources, providing constructive criticism and by being a voice that stands out above the many others who deviate to be recognised in the crowd.
Today, we present to you the following deviants who have all been awarded Seniority as part of our 11th birthday celebrations. They have all been nominated

Featured Emoticons

Your call is important to us by =pjuk really captures how people feel when placed on hold. The simple animation works well with the emote’s expression to create a cute little emoticon.

2.

dA emote community by ~LedMaiden is an adorable representative of the emote community. The full spectrum of colours just goes to show how varied our community is and the wave of bouncing really catches your eye. Be sure to look past the preview.

3.

Member of the community stamp by ~PokeartKid is a brilliant stamp for any emoticonist. The emotes used are simple but effective and the fun border gives the impression of a linked chain of emotes.
