Greatest Art Site to Exist

Okay, I'm not exactly sure how many people know about DeviantArt but regardless, I'm gonna explain it.

DeviantART is a site dedicated to artists. Of all kinds. Digital media, photography, traditional, stock images, animations, etc. You can find practically everything on there.

Profiles can be customized to how you want them to be. Every member has their own sta.sh which is where you can keep sketches, drafts, and other incomplete pieces of artwork. It also comes with its own built drawing program, though I'm biased with my opinion, I would just check it out and see how you feel about it.

You can also submit journals and status posts so people who watch you can keep up with what's going on in your life as well as you being able to keep up with their lives, granted you watched them back.

There is also the option of turning on and off "Mature content" which would be anything considered NSFW, "not safe for work".

You can offer commissions to other artists on the site. The best part is finding people to watch and see what they submit into their gallery. You meet a lot of cool people and see a lot of cool art styles.

There's almost always competitions and little fun community things going on as well.

Llama badges are also a thing. There's a lot of opportunity on this site for all types of artists.

While like every site, it has its issues, such as the inability to convert dA currency, called points, into actual money once you have them, the site is a cool place to post artwork.

Feel free to check it out and have fun exploring the endless pieces of art!

Last Blog Post

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

IMPRESSED BUT YOU CAN DO MORE Apple......

FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways....  The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...

Mad Max: Fury Road - Storyboard to Screen

One of my favorite films is Mad Max: Fury Road. There is practically no dialogue in the entire movie, so when George Miller sat down to write the film, he decided that it would be better to hire a team of people to storyboard his vision. Script to Screen is a Twitter page that compares the film to its screenplay, but here the storyboards from Fury Road are compared to the scenes, and it is so fascinating to watch.
