OCTOBER SPOTLIGHTS

~Teague-Drydan
Member Profile: [link]


:heart: A member of RawEm0tion since January 09, she is continuously active in the club and deviantART as a whole, and running the successful *Prompt-A-Day. She is a busy-body, and it shows in her writing, having many different styles and formats to adhere to her individual and unique feelings and thoughts of the moment. The seasons are changing, and so are we as new challenges arise to be broken down. ~Teague-Drydan is a sure example of this, and is our beautiful spotlight for October. :heart:


:trophy: Featured Submission :trophy:


Amelia Jones by *ravenofroses


:heart: *ravenofroses has many pieces submitted to our themes, and I was trying to look for a prose, but I happened upon one of her poems and it really dragged me in. It's quirky and clever, and a little bit creepy. The rhyme scheme used is strong enough to draw anybody in and hold their interest enough to get into this little story of Amelia Jones. :heart:

World AIDS Day 2009 will be held December 1, 2009. The theme this year is "Universal Access and Human Rights".



I invite you to take part in a project that I am hosting in honor of World AIDS Day 2009. Why am I hosting this? It is near and dear to my heart.

My uncle was told he was HIV+ in 1990, and lived for 6 years after being told this. He died in June 1996, two months after my wedding. He had attended my wedding but was very sick, and two months later almost to the day he walked himself into a hospital, and never walked out. I didn't get to see him before he died, my wedding was the last time I saw him alive. I can't even begin to tell you how much my uncle meant to me, he was an ever present part of my life since I was a child, and it devastated me to lose him to AIDS. Of course officially they wrote he died of pneumonia, and listed AIDS second or third on the death certificate, but AIDS is what killed this very good and beautiful man.

THE PROJECT - AIDS Charity Book

I have been a member of deviantART for over five years and I am constantly overwhelmed by the amount of talent on this site. It is heartwarming and challenges me each and every day to be better. What I would like to do is to ask you, the amazing artists of dA, to submit whatever you do best - whether it be traditional art, digital art, photography, photomanipulation, prose or poetry - and let me compile a charity book whose proceeds will go directly to AVERT, an international AIDS charity (find them here: [link]). Depending on how many participate, I will choose the submissions to be included in the book.

Your piece of art (and yes I consider literature to be art as well) should follow the theme of World AIDS Day - or be somehow related to AIDS. Red ribbons are beautiful things. Your creativity is a must, whether it is simple or more involved.

Do a search for AIDS on dA and you'll find a lot of inspiration: [link]

For more information, please visit the news article here.




Our new contest at the *Traditional-Artists club is a double-whammy - a themed contest about The Seven Deadly Sins & another involving Tutorials. :dance:

To enter either of our contests, you need to be a member of *Traditional-Artists - for more info, see our Rules Journal and to join, just watch us! :D

:devil: Seven Deadly Sins
Are there any more tempting themes to work from than Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy & Pride?

:bulletred: Only one submission per member. Yes, there are 7 sins, so be creative!
:bulletred: All entries must be completely traditionally produced.
:bulletred: New or old entries accepted.
:bulletred: The deadline is Monday, 26th October.
For more info, see the Seven Deadly Sins Contest journal.


:teamwork: Tutorials
The idea behind this is very simple: create your own traditional art tutorials.

:bulletpurple: There is no submission limit.
:bulletpurple: You can submit new or old work, but only ONE old piece - and as many new tutorials as you like.
:bulletpurple: Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time: the deadline is Thursday, 31st December 2009.
For more info, rules & some guidelines, see the Tutorials Contest journal.

Follow the links for more info such as prizes and rules.



The Character Collective is a brand new group dedicated to producing characters that fit the needs of writers, graphic novelists, and other creative types. If a writer is having difficulties coming up with a character, they can browse through our gallery to find someone who will fit the blank.
We also draw characters on request, but that will cost the writer a subscription.

For more information you can visit their page linked above.


:note: Warriors With A Pen

Poetry as Therapy

Belinda lived through several years of war in Central America which lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In the 1970s, she and her family were caught in riots and shootouts between rebels and nationalists. Eventually PTSD lead her to ministry burnout in 2005.

These poems reflect the journey of healing of a nephew and his aunt.

For more information on how to buy this book follow the link in the thumb.

:iconx-innocence-x: September 14th/09--
I'm very very sorry for the lack of updates for about a week now. My computer has been incapacitated, and during the process of reformatting it I lost the folder I had all the DeviantART/RawEm0tion stuff in. But it's back up and running now, and that's what matters. I've got a lot to catch up on, and hopefully I'll be able to get to it all today. I appreciate everyone's patience with my slow updates ^^;

Other than that, I only have one other thing on my mind. I know I am quite slow with contests and challenges, trying to keep everything else in order I forget about them and can't find the time to think of ideas for new ones. So I'm offering the position of "Competition Manager" to any member who wishes to take over the contests and challenges area. I don't want to jeopardize the club and limit the members by not having enough competition. So send in a note if you wish to take on this position. Let me know how much time you spend on dA, and how much time you are willing to spend on something like this. Depending on how many applicants there are, I will sift through the notes being sent and choose one person to take over.

Other than that...I think the spotlight for September is still not up due to me not being online >< I will try to do that today also. And on that topic, we are looking for more spotlight judges. We can never have enough when we only get a few replies every month. We would like to get more opinions and suggestions from the members, so send in a note if you are interested in that as well.

And a message to all "members" who have sent in a join note and haven't received a reply yet, I'll be getting to you as well. So please feel free to submit, and participate in anything our club offers or interests you. There is a long list of members to be submitted so it will still take a while, but I've been slowly tackling that task and hopefully get caught up soon.

Thanks again for your patience with me! Don't forget to send in a note if you're interested in either the Competitions position or a Spotlight judge!

Rules:

Every poem submitted in the club gallery does not belong to just one person. Each of them belongs to a member, and should not be used in any way without the permission of that artist. Respect their work. Any favourites should be directed to the original piece.

Commenting is encouraged, though it is not mandatory. The artists submit their work here to get it more noticed, they would appreciate it if you could spare some time to read it and tell them what you think about it.

Love comes from inside of you.
Make friends is something you could do,
And that's what I did
When I met her.
And her is Cari.
And we are friends,
And we will be that way until the end,
And the end is forever.

Luv ya, Cari

If I'm to fall
Would you be there to applaud?
Or would you hide behind them all?
'Cause if I were to go

If only, if only the woodpecker cries,
The Bark on the trees was as soft as the skies.
The wolf waits below, hungry and lonely,
And howls to the moon, if only, if only.
:iconxxbrokenstarxx239:
I love your poems, they remind me of how I feel right now, and its hard for me to find people that have felt what I have. They come from your heart, and I can tell you really mean what you say. I write poems in my spare time, but yours just really reach me on an emotional level that people don't seem to reach with me.
:iconmissgraciea:
Heyyyyy (:
I sent a note about three days ago asking to join... Did you get it? I can send it again if you didn't (:
