A Round of Applause for LadyofGaerdonWe all owe hersomething...Hi there, everyone I've been meaning to do this for a while now. I spent some time trying to figure out if there was a way to recommend a person to be featured under the "Deviousness" heading, at the bottom of the front page, but that all came to naught. And thus, I am posting this feature myself (and sending it out to as many groups as possible...) This feature is NOT to talk about the talent of :iconladyofgaerdon:, but her dedication to deviantARTIf you're a part of the literature community, you probably owe =LadyofGaerdon for something. She makes me feel guilty about not doing enough for other deviants. She recommends Daily Deviations, and features pieces as a =DailyLitDeviations admin. She also features pieces as part of #LITplease's Favorites Project. And, just recently, she started up the group #Lit-Visual-Alliance to encourage more interaction between the literature community and the many visual artists out there.I

She is a 23 year old amateur novelist who would like to be published one day. She has written and submitted a portion of an impressive fantasy
InspirationBeing here on DA all of these years has really inspired me. There are just so many inspirational people on here. However, there are a few that have had a very personal impact on me. Some of which were my friends even before DA.So I guess this journal is to say thanks and perhaps be somewhat of a feature as well.When it comes to modeling nude you can think these two folks::iconkannonm: :iconrenglish02:If it were not for them I may have never decided to do nudes. They were always there to encourage me. If I ever needed anything they were there. Thanks guys As time went on I ran across this wonderful nude model. She is very inspiring::iconaisii:Her work is nothing short of amazing. On top of that she is a mother. She is by far one of my favorite models.I have always looked up to many people. I look to find new inspiration and perhaps a new way of doing art. When I think of awe inspiring digital work these five people quickly come to mind::iconakubaka: :ico
Featuring: LadyofGaerdonHello!Recently I held a contest that had three themes for writers. And one of the themes was: Inspiration: The premise is simple: write about another piece of art that inspires you. It can be a photograph or drawing, a piece of literature or a sculpture.

Whatever you're inspired to do that fits with in the rules.Now, the winner of Theme 2: Inspiration is:=LadyofGaerdon is based on The original digital painting is beautiful, and with the addition of =LadyofGaerdon's writing, it is even more enjoyable. The consistent flow of a story line, the wide use of vocabulary, and the impact on the reader were all most prominent in this work compared to most of the other contestants for this theme. Congratulations!Please read the entirety of this work; I personally believe it will not be a waste of time. If you would like to see full r

Just in case you don't recall the choices were to write for three categories:Improvement: Just as my previous contest, this seeks to award those who have improved during their time on dA compared to others in the same theme.Inspiration: The premise is simple: write about another piece of art that inspires you. It can be a photograph or drawing, a piece of literature or a sculpture. Your entries can include a story to the piece, a philosophical monologue, or even research writing. Whatever you're inspired to do that fits with in the rules.Criminality: For this theme you are required to write a fictional account of the perfect crime from the viewpoint of law enforcement, criminal, victim, witness, or lawyer.
