Odyssey Propulsion 2The parasite that is monstrously mutating Paul offers an alliance against Maya, Paul’s other dubious “protector.”
The parasite is Tal’Shen, spawn of Lysanna, hunted forerunner of an ancient aquatic-based intergalactic Cthulhuian-type race once again knocking on Earth’s door. Which “female” is Paul to trust? Is the fate of humanity in question or is this all the hallucinatory fever dream of a dying man?
Only four more chapters! Yet so many questions!
The pressure points have been set: self-survival, self-sacrifice for a greater cause, transmission of a vision of species survival and renewal, trust and deceit in equal measures possible in each relationship. Now it’s time to for the penultimate Big Reveal as to what it’s all about – to set up the Ultimate Big Reveal to what it’s really all about!

Site Update: Sta.sh Visual RefreshIn our continuous effort to improve the deviantART experience, we're publishing weekly Site Updates to keep members informed and to gather feedback. Below is a list of recent changes to the site, bug fixes, and feedback that was brought up by members in the last Site Update.
What's New
Sta.sh Visual Refresh

Today we have released a visual refresh of Sta.sh, deviantART's upload and publishing platform, giving it a cleaner, more modern look. One of the most apparent things you'll notice is a major change in the header, which is now white, to match the rest of Sta.sh. In addition, when viewing something in another user's Sta.sh, the topbar will display their icon and username, to indicate that you are in their Sta.sh and not your own.

In addition, we've made

You can now attach Premium Content from Sta.sh!Previously, the process for submitting Premium Content required you to submit the "preview" file as a deviation, go through the submission process, and then attach the Premium Content by uploading files from your computer.
We just upgraded the Premium Content submission process to allow you to attach Premium Content files from your Sta.sh.
This new feature makes it easier to submit Premium Content by allowing you to upload multiple files at once. On top of that, because files uploaded to Sta.sh can be attached as Premium Content, you can now include Sta.sh Writer and deviantART muro files as part of your downloadable content!
On the Sta.sh submission process, click "Attach Content from your Sta.sh":

Then, attach content from your Sta.sh or upload files

Odyssey, Clive and PETAFor those just tuning in, I have the privilege of working very closely with the Odyssey II Project with Clive Barker and I couldn't be more excited. The following is my personal opinion on the project, Clive and PETA, so I encourage you to direct any conversation regarding what you read here, to the comments below, so I can respond

First, I'm a huge fan of Clive Barker's work. His artwork and his stories have entranced me for years but beyond that, he's truly a deviant. *CliveBarker has become an active member of the community, submitting his artwork and commenting on others. He's a perfect fit in my opinion, but that's not entirely why I'm writing today.
Clive's initial choice for a cause to donate the proceeds of this project to, is PETA and if you've been watching the #ODYSSEYPROJECT unfold, you've certainly seen several opinions in regards to the organization.
If you know me at all,

`Gwendolyn12 Interviews *pallanoph
So, why don’t you start this interview presenting yourself to our friends here and telling us a bit about you?
Hello fellow deviants! My name is April Schumacher, and I'm a traditional artist working as a freelance illustrator. Though I grew up in the state of Iowa, I moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota to attend the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) to major in illustration, and graduated in May of 2008. I'm still in Minneapolis, alive and kicking.
So, now let’s start the interview for go

Fix that miscat! ~ Artisan Crafts V. Still Life Fix that miscat! is the first of a series of articles which aims to help you distinguish between galleries that are commonly confused or abused in the category system here on deviantART. Submitting to the correct categories here can make a huge difference to exposure and feedback for your work as well as features within the Daily Deviations so we want to give you the best chances possible! Let's get started with Artisan Crafts Versus Still Life Photography!
Artisan Crafts (Culinary) & Still Life Photography
DeviantART is a hive of activity with work from all sorts of genres and areas being shared and submitted on a daily basis. So it's only natural that sometimes, confusion happens. And there are a few pesky categories that are difficult to define and differentiate between. We've recently found that Photography -> Still Life and Artisan Crafts are a great example of this.

Digital Art Newsletter - SeptemberHi guys! How have you been? Times flies whey you're busy huh? I can't believe my first week as CV in this new term already passed! But now that I'm more settled down I think the best way to start this is to let you guys know of what is going on around Digital Art and what to expect in the following weeks!
Thiefo WANTS YOU
I want you guys to know, I don't want my term as volunteer to be just about ME doing things. I personally don't think it should be anybody's job as volunteers to stand in front of the community, like saying "Look at me!" I'm not different from you, I'm just a deviant just like you. Sure I was given the honor of having a new symbol and with that, some cool privileges... for a time. But if you forget about the symbol for a moment, you'll see I'm the same old wacky guy who likes to use stupid gifs to make a point that I've always been.
So, let's work as a team!

If you have cool ideas, share them with me! Maybe we can col

Troubleshooting:How to Photograph Christmas Lights

I recently read an article on Reddit that explored the best way to photography Christmas lights and it raised some interesting points. Rather than re-hash what has already been said, I've delved into a few tutorials around the web to give an overview of some hints and tips - and will link them all at the end of this article so that you can investigate for yourself.

When you take a Photograph, the camera will often over-compensate with the colours that it's trying to capture and objects that look fairly white to the naked eye don't appear so in the photo that you've taken. White Balance aims to override that. But just setting your camera to Auto White Balance and hoping for the best is not good enough...

The above shots show the same location taken firstly with auto white balance - and then secondly with the white balance set to shade. Setting Shade me
