Getting involved with the Community and stuff

Heya. So as some of you know, my Community Volunteer work is almost done, expires in 2 days time, back to being a .
I realise that there are many people out there who ain't aware of the Community, be it the contests thats happening or the charity events that are going on, or even just Deviantart News. In fact before I became a CV, even I wasn't aware of what is going on in Deviantart land, I was just in my own little dark basement drawing alone in my underwear not realising there are life outside of my cave. So to keep it simple. Here are a few groups to get your going. Getting involved with the community also gives you an extra boost in exposure to your art by the way. Its great.

Is a great group to follow, as you can submit art in the group for a possible chance of getting a Daily Deviation, and a DD REALLY helps in letting people see your art. I mean look, you can be Michelangelo uploading the Sistine Chapel on Deviantart, the people who see it would love it. But if you are new to Deviantart, it may take a while until your stuff gets noticed and spread around. A Daily Deviation however puts your masterpiece right on the front page for all to see. Definately helps.

Is fantastic for getting in the know for whats going on, be it news about contests or charity events or even talented people to check out.

is the place to go to meet friends and other people from the community. If you feel you wanna give something back and dedicate your time to help improve Deviantart, you may apply for a CV spot, like what I had. The DA staff are all pretty nice and very funny, friendly people to hang out with.

Since I was part of the fan art Volunteer group. If you wanna know whats happening in the fan art community. Below is a very recent informative Newsletter written by my ex co fan art volunteer angel TheCreativeJenn

A very informative and thought provoking newsletter, I especially liked the part about referenced art and what it means, whether it is ok or not to reference something. And when is it pushing too far. TheCreativeJenn is a friend of mine and she put in a lot of time and effort writing that newsletter, please go and have a read and leave a comment to show her that her effort is worth it

So yes just letting you guys know of what is happening out there outside of the basement.
