PE - Welcome to Digital Dolls!Hey everyone! Welcome to Dolling week of Project Educate! I suppose I'll start it out with what the heck I'm even talking about.
Digital dolls! A term coined by DeviantArt, but a very fitting term indeed! Dolls are basically small pixel-art (usually of people) typically created from a base-body (a naked, bald pixel-person) that another doller has made.
That was a mouth-full, huh? Just think of them as digital paper-dolls.

So what's this about a base-body? Bases are actually a huge part of the dolling experience. If you notice, in the three example dolls up there, the artist credits another artist for the 'base'. Almost every doll is like a collaboration between two artists, making dolling that much more fun! Some people choose to edit the base they use til it's barely recognizable, and some people prefer to leave them as they were!

So where can

PE - Dolling 101 (Or Dolling For Beginners)

Hello, welcome to Dolling 101! We'll be going over all the basics that every beginner doller should know. There's a lot, so let's get to it!
Lesson 1: Terminology/Vocabulary

What is a Doll?

It might help to begin this article by telling you what you're reading about! A doll, or as we call them on DeviantArt, Digital Dolls, are small graphics, usually pixel-art, of people and characters. People create these by taking a base body another person has made, and creating art on it - designing clothes and hair, and turning the blank template into whatever kind of character they can imagine.
I will go over dolls more in detail, but that's the very basic description. Please, read on!

What is a Base?

Bases! You're probably familiar with this term. That's right, those pixel line-arts of bald/naked people that

PE - Interview with Metroid-Tamer:iconmetroid-tamer::iconmetroid-tamer::iconmetroid-tamer:

First of all, how long have you been dolling? What got you into it?
I've been dolling for about eight years. My initial interest in pixel art came about when I was a child. Specifically, it was Super Metroid that rose my interest in pixel art. When I was fourteen I discovered some pixel art on dA that led me to ~angychan's "Yumestudio" site where I discovered dolling. I was blown away. I couldn't believe that dolling existed and it really changed my view further. It was at that point I decided to take up dolling as a hobby. I've enjoyed myself since.
What did you think of dolling before you learned more about it?
It was amazing and intimidating to me. I think intimidation was the bigger of the two feelings because, at the time, my skill was so

PE - Interview with IceCradle:iconicecradle::iconicecradle::iconicecradle:

First of all, how long have you been dolling? What got you into it?
I honestly can't remember, I think it was around 2000/2001 that I started, but while I have some old dolls saved, I didn't think to date anything back then!
Firstly I came across a bunch of the old-style prep dolls on a magazine style website I used to read. I didn't really know what they were, but I really liked the idea. I used to make paper dolls as a kid and it was a similar sort of thing. I remember saving a load of these dolls onto my computer, making them a lot bigger and then painstakingly smoothing out the pixelated outlines, taking off all the clothes and drawing my own - yes, yes my very first dolls were all frankendolled! The horror!
I carried on doing that for a while, completely oblivious to the dolling community. A couple of years later I was a part of a sims related forum and

PE - Interview with CaitlinCaitieCait:iconcaitlincaitiecait::iconcaitlincaitiecait::iconcaitlincaitiecait:

First of all, how long have you been dolling? What got you into it?
I’ve been dolling for…Hmm…about five years. I started how I think most dollers start – I saw and loved playing with the dollmakers from places like The Doll Palace and DollzMania. I eventually got bored with how long it took for new makers to come out started trying to figure out how to go about making my own dolls. I found DHF and their tutorials and started with those.
What did you think of dolling before you learned more about it?
I didn’t really know anything much about dolling before I started, other than the “dollz&

PE - Overview, Interview with DulcetFancyHey there! Thank you so, so much for sticking with us through Dolling Week! I'm going to start out by giving a few shout-outs to some members who've helped me a lot. There are so many people who have helped, but these few helped write some articles, gave amazing feedback, and were there for support when I really needed it

PE - Interview with TheThirdAct:iconthethirdact::iconthethirdact::iconthethirdact:

(Warning - minor swearing!)
First of all, how long have you been dolling? What got you into it?
Hmm, I've been dolling for a long time. Eight or nine years I think, with some breaks in there. I got into it when my sister pointed it out to me. She found Josie's Dolls, I think. That's the first site that I really remember going to all the time and being totally obsessed with. It was probably the dollmakers that she had. Those things are so goddamn addicting. I actually frankendolled one of her dolls once, though I'm sure I was the only one who ever saw it.
What did you think of dolling before you learned more about it?
Honestly, I don't remember. I probably thought it was all about dollmakers because that's all I would do in the beginning. Especially at

PE - Resource Round UpOne very important aspect of dolling is resources! Half of dolling is resources itself - the base. However, we won't focus on bases in this article. Instead, here's a big variety of tutorials and resources for dollers to learn from. Everyone's technique is different, and every style is unique. But many people are happy to offer their help and show people how they get that certain effect! Whenever you're struggling to get something just right, these tutorials can be a life-saver. Also if you're starting out, they can show you some very helpful techniques that can get you going in the right direction!

deviantART; A Little Story, Part 1This entry is mirrored.
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a little yellow alien named jark.
Wait, this is not a fairy tale so let me dispense with that.
This is an attempt to explain some of the history behind the founding of deviantART.  I have no desire to hide a thing and therefore make of this what you will.
"Back in the day" I used to run a little known MP3 website called CyberTropix.  I used to hang out in #mp3 on irc.mircx.com, where all the big named MP3 webmasters were.  There was a fairly large following in the channel on this small network.
It was here that I met Angelo, who used the nick "spyed" in the channel.  He ran a hugely popular MP3 news website called Dimension Music.  The site would eventually be bought by

Help Save The AlienThe legal battle that is going to ensue between myself, the Yellow Alien, and the Black Ninja, aka Angelo Sotira, is going to be costly. Lawsuits are never cheap. While Angelo has the ability to make use of any, and all, deviantART revenue generated from subscription purchases, print purchases, and more, in order to protect "the corporation" I do not have an "unlimited" budget at my disposal.
All the support that the community has offered up until this point is more the greatly appreciated. I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love that has graced deviantART as a result of my

[EDITED II] Ok, since people asked me to tell what would I consider "artistic nude" or "fetish portraits" pieces, I'll gladly include what would I consider REAL ero-art (with photo examples):

Notice the different use of genitalia . These pictures have a real meaning. I myself love those series.
Also, these ones:

You can perfectly show genitalia area in artistic way. Not in a porn way

Commissions & Requests ON HOLDHello there!
I decided to open point comissions

I'll use this journal to manage requests too

CURRENT STATUS: Commissions are on hold, since I want to focus on improving my emoting style.

General Information

Comissions are available to everyone

Requests are only for friend mostly, but you'll let you have one if you'll be nice

If you don't want to pay, you can suggest me to make something. It won'y cost you, but it would take more time, and it has to be something that everyone can use (no custom avis etc.)

Art trades are open :dummy:
:bulletblack: If you want to do a collab. with me, note me and I'll tell you :dummy:
:bulletblack: I'll only do 5 comissions, 3 requests, 5 suggestions, 2 art trades and one collaboration at a time :dummy:
:bulletblack: For anything else which you don't see here, note me :dummy:
:bulletblack: Prices may vary depending on details.

Emoticon Legend: calling all pixels!Imagine for a moment that deviantART is like a closet full of clothes. You’ve got plenty of things you love and wear week-to-week. You have things that make you look professional, things that make you look goofy and fun. And you love your clothes so much, you want to go out and buy more! Crazy, awesome things get added to your closet all the time -- Portfolio, Groups, dA muro! Those are the pinstripe suit, snazzy soccer uniform, and comfy artist smock of your closet!
But there’s something nagging at the back of your mind. One of your favorite pairs of jeans needs some patchwork. Unfortunately, every time you set out to do some patching, something else needs your attention -- a more significant tear in another item, or a shirt begging for an accessory. And while it can be easier to just go shopping for a new pair or wear a different outfit, it's sometimes nice to revisit that adored article of denim.
The Emoticon Legend is that pair of jeans, and it's time for us to

Daily Deviations Express: June 8th - 14th, 2009

Monday, June 8th
with comments from `snowmask and `oilsoaked

`snowmask
I chose that piece for a DD for the precise reasons as stated in the DD description. And I've no idea why I chose it for June 8th; I just follow the order of my excel planner for DDs. Only on special dates and international holidays do I put up a DD that's relevant to the occasion.
`oilsoaked
Before I answer any questions, I'm going to toss you the mandatory disclaimer that we all have very different tastes, which hopefully leads to a vast array of different features. If you notice, `limnides has a taste for the abstract, and I have for the figurative.
Now that that's done and overwith; whereas I do see this piece as being DD material, I wouldn't necessarily DD it myself, simply because it doesn't grab me. It's still a beautiful piece; but I might have forwarded the suggestion to e

Journals / Art News / Customization

Looking for a place to keep tabs of everything emoticons? Well look no further than #EmoticonHQ! Now the official home of the Emoticon Legend Revamp project, #EmoticonHQ is a great resource for pixel and digital artists looking to get down and dirty with miniature canvases.

Want to make some of the current emoticons on the site better? Well check out the project home, where you can learn more about the project and what we look for to make emotes part of the official legend. In addition, you will be able to submit your revamps to a series of journals where they will be considered. If the project leaders feel that it could be a possible revamp, your emote will be added to the list of "possibilities," which is one step closer to getting an official emote!

Be part of the emoticon artist community and see if you can make an emote that will be used by millions of people on deviantART daily.

Project maintained by: `mattdanna and `livius.
If you have any questions, feel free to send `mattdanna a note.

This is hotter than a Mongolian hooker in a Broadway Street taco shack!

That's hotter than the malfunctioning boiler in my apartment building!
I asked the owners to get Mongolian hookers to fix the boiler, but the board said it would cost too much to get them into the country legally.
