About 'Overpricing' thingsMOVE on 'Overpricing': About 'Overpricing' things

I see a lot of comments here and there that go something like this...
"50 points?? Why would I pay 50 points for an adopt..."
or...
"100 points? Are you sure you're not overpricing that...?!"
And I'm sure many of you have seen similar comments, now I understand that points aren't the easiest things to accumulate when you're fresh into dA or even well into your time here, as I was once a 13 year old kid who joined dA and got excited over her first 10 points

...which I kept and refused to spend because i

Surviving Sports PhotographySports photography.
This category of photojournalism is one of the most sought after positions in professional photography. VIP access to pro athletes, frontline seats, locker room interviews, and a paycheck to photograph the whole experience year after year?!!

Well, that's how my story began anyway. Years ago, I made the mistake of going to a pro hockey game and within three hours fell madly in love with the smell of ice and the sound of blades. I left the building thinking to myself (and telling anyone who would listen to the ravings of a madwoman): "There has to be some way I can be involved in this for the rest of my life." What actually happened after that night is one of the wildest stories I've ever told and it's still a crazy ride. But getting on that ride and staying on is tricky.
So here's what I've learned so far about actually surviving sports photography

TeamWork- round 2!We're jumping right into a new round of our TeamWork-project!
We were really overwhelmed by the attendance last time, and since so many wanted another round, here we go

!
For all those who don't know the project yet, here are some answers to all the questionmarks over your head!
What is the project about?
The aim is to team up two artists to achieve a close and individual learning-experience.
One of the two will be the teacher, whereas the other will be the student. (But our teachers will learn through this project just as much, I'm sure )
Teachers will present assignments to their students and provide them with tools, techniques and lessons to achieve the goal they both decided on.
In the end we'll present all the finished assignments in a big chat event and on our group page!
There also might be prizes for Best TeamWork, Best Final Artwork and Strongest Improvement!
We will provide all teams with tips, rules and guidelines on teaching, as soon as al

More Sketch A Day Announcements!SOOoooooo instead of trying to track down everyone one of you guys, I decided it would be easier to just make a group. XD #Sketch-a-Day-Project Feel free to watch the group if you want! I will invite everyone that said they would do this to the group tommorrow. OvO YOU CAN STILL JOIN IN SKETCH A DAY, JUST COMMENT BELOW. OvO
The concept is simple. You draw a sketch every day and post it online. Or at least every other day for those busy folks! There is no time limit or requirements, this is basically all about self-improvement and applying yourself!

Cull Dogs Pet HomesEDIT:: Scribbling up designs for other folks, but only a few. You can give me a cull dog and a prompt and I'll make something up. Can't guarantee you'll adore it, but it should inspire something; you can build off what it inspires you to do rather than use my design, really. You could keep it for RP or as an OC yourself or pass on the character (no charge for the extra design and with a "no resale" clause). ::EDIT
I'm actually fresh out of points at the moment, but if anyone wants to give away their unhomed or returned offspring or dogs they've purchased and found inbred, instead of considering them stillborn/dead or retired, I'm willing to gather them and give them a pet-home (non-breeding).

Share Your Writing Process

Writing this journal, I feel I prematurely posted it. The goal was to get others talking about the writing process and how they approach it, but the emphasis became my work, which is a no-no! So with that in mind, here are some questions to take into consideration (and a silly one, because why not).
Do you feel your writing process is 'fixed,' or that it changes depending on what you are writing?
Do you edit as you write? How does this affect the finished product?
How do you feel your process is unique compared to others?
How come when you call a wrong number, someone is always home?
In addition, if you would like to get involved with this journal on another level and would like to display your writing as you develop it and answer questions about your process, do leave a comment saying so with a link (on dA) to where the writing can be found so that others can watch it progress and keep me updated (I'll most likely watch those that participate, to stay updated).

Sign up for TeamWork 2 !If you don't know what this is about, please read more about it here.
Teachers
Please add a comment below telling us a bit about you, your art and what genre you'd like to teach.
The participants wishing to be your team-partner will reply to your comment. We will then list you two as a team.
Students
Read through the comments written by teachers and see which topic or genre fits your learning-wishes best.
If you found one, simply reply to that comment and we'll match you two as a team.
Please don't comment on this journal for any other reason than signing up for the project!
Please don't comment on this journal to apply as a student, only reply to already existing teacher-offers in the comments.
Please also don't reply to a teacher's comment if we've already confirmed the team to be a match!

Kennel AffiliatesI am... considering... A "clean puppy replacement" program for Platinum Affiliates. If you lost a dog because of an excessively inbred bloodline (there are some that are sufficiently far away for breeding, still, and you can also ask CK for special permissions for some others) and I've got a breeding planned that'd replace the dog in question in your breeding program, you can have it free (or discount if I'm fund-raising) and even trade in your neutered dog. Thoughts?
Breedings are (currently) not exclusive to affiliates. Nor are adoptions. But it is an excellent way to keep track of already-cleared kennels and homes. If worse comes to worst, only affiliates will be given kennel (breeding) licenses and the rest will be sold dogs on a pet-home license (spayed/neutered). You needn't be licensed to breed your dogs, yet. You can plan to get it later or you can just never plan to breed, you just want to have the exclusive reserves.
This list is not capo-specific. If you can't breed capos

Nudari Breeding ProjectIt's actually quite a simple project. I'll be breeding my lines for that ever-elusive no-white nudari (like all the wilds are supposed to be). Once I have all my nudari up, I can start planning, and looking for outside blood. May need to introduce some Pharaoh... I'll just have this journal sitting around to compare, visually, using thumbnails.

FRiv's Silk

Won't be passing on heavy black, but may pass on gradient thinning of stripes.

Community Projects An Overview

Journals / Culture / Projects

#communityrelations

Community Projects: Volume 1 ~ A Series about Community Projects: An Explanation and Examples of Each Category:

As a way to get involved, or to just give a tribute or send a prayer through art, Community Projects has many, many categories in which to choose to submit deviations to. Each month additional sub-cats are added, so it is best to thoroughly look at the options prior to submitting.

Community Projects, outside of being its own gallery, has four categories:
Awareness
Holidays
Projects and Clubs
Tributes

Each of those categories have many sub-cats, Holidays and Awareness being broken down by the years the sub-cats have been created.

Tributes has three generalized sub-cats:
Miscellaneous, World Disasters and deviant Rembrances. Then there are several individual sub-cats that include but are not exclusive to, Farrah Fawcett, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Steve Irwin and the latest addition of Steve Jobs.

Awareness has two generalized sub-cats, Human Rights and World Aids Month. Then rest of the Category is broken down by years, 2009 - 2011. New sub-cats are added each month as recommended by the Projects' CV or when $Moonbeam13 sees something that should have its own sub-cat.

The Awareness sub-cats include, but are not exclusive to:
Natural Disasters, Prevention of Animal Cruelty, Spirit Day, Breast Cancer Awareness, Bullying Awareness, Childhood Cancer, Daffodil Month, Gay and Lesbian pride and Mental Health and Illness Awareness. The latest sub-cat to be added is Movember. It is common for some males in New Orleans, New Zealand and Australia, especially in Melbourne, to grow a mustache during November. The custom is known as Movember, and is a fundraising event for men's health issues. It is also known as "No-Shave November", and helps to raise funds and awareness of testicular and prostate cancer. It is a fun topic for a serious endeavor.

The Holidays sub-cats are divided into years from 2004 - 2011:
Holidays in any given year may include, but not be exclusive to, Eid Al-Adha, Earth Day, Cinco de Mayo, Black History, Beltane, Friendship Week, Guy Fawkes Day, Haitian Heritage Month, Mardi Gras, Halloween, Independence Days, Mothers and Fathers' Days, St. Patrick's Day, Sukkot, Summer Solstice, Valentine's Day, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Thanksgiving or one of my favorites, "That Sucks Day"!!

The Projects and Clubs</a> Category has many Project sub-cats:
1000 Deviants 1000 Cranes, deviantARTSecret, The Peace Sign, NaNoWriMo, Drawing Day, Project Positivity, Kindness Stamps and many more, including but not exclusive to, Just for the Admin, a sub-cat for deviations created as a tribute to $taff or Volunteers, one or all.

Sadly, there are a plethora of miscats in Community Projects and I would never have time to move them all prior to my term ending, so I have to keep the work to narrow set of Projects. Be sure to double-check submissions to make sure each one is in the right category before hitting the submit button! Doing so helps to keep dA's galleries organized and deviations easier to find

An overview of Community Projects. Four Categories divided into many sub-cats.

Excelent!

`WDWParksGal Nov 5, 2011

Thank you. I wanted to give the general idea of what Community Projects is about. Plus, as the CV for Projects, my "gallery" is anything that has been submitted to projects, as well as any past official deviantART contests. Since other CVs may, also, feature from those galleries then that allows me to feature from all the other galleries as well. I usually just limit my DDs from a few choice galleries, however, Easier that way

=Paulcellx Nov 6, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Hmmm.. interesting, but you need to get people involved into this.

`WDWParksGal Nov 6, 2011

I know. I have three contests going and have been putting out articles and updating #communityrelations but for some reason I'm not getting the message out quickly enough!

=Paulcellx Nov 5, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Excelent!

`Arichy Nov 5, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist
