All deviants can now write Critiques

Be a giver!
Sometimes you come across a deviation that deserves special attention. It catches your eye in such a way that you're compelled to craft a response that goes above and beyond a normal comment. Or perhaps a fellow deviant is having a tough time with a particular aspect of their work, and you know just what they need to take their art to the next level. As a good Internet citizen and art enthusiast, you want to help them out, but a normal comment doesn't quite suit your purpose.
For these situations and more, we've given everyone the ability to write a Critique.

What is Critique?
DeviantART's Critique system is designed to help artists get in-depth, critical feedback and commentary on their work. Valued feedback through Critique promotes creative growth as an artist and draws special attention to work. Critiques are also a way for committed art enthusiasts, connoisseurs, and fans to publish real criticism,

Dodge Dart Contest WinnersThe designers at Chrysler had some tough decisions to make. The semi-finalists in both of the Digital and Traditional categories presented a wide variety of approaches and techniques all inspired by the new Dodge Dart. The three winners for Digital and Traditional were selected after much deliberation and consideration. They will soon be on display in the lobby of the Dodge-Chrysler headquarters.

When you first look at this mural you're amazed by the artistic use of color to create the scenic picture of the Dart and everywhere the Dart can take you. Then – to surprise you even more, when you look closer you realize that this ar

The Winners Are...

Mon Apr 9, 2012, 11:49 AM

Ladies and gentlemen, fear not! The winners of the Cute Monsters Design Challenge are in!

No longer must you check under beds and inside closets for bogeymen. If all monsters are like the winners of this round's Cute Monster Challenge, then you have nothing to worry about when you hear a sound in the middle of the night.

With tens of thousands of entries, you can stroll through the pages of adorable non-scary monsters and see for yourself what a difficult decision it was to choose the top three winners.

The first two winners were chosen by our team of judges based off the top 50 highest-voted entries, voted by savvy Cute Monster Connoisseurs like yourself. In a new twist, for this challenge, we added in a special "Judges' Choice" Winner chosen from the entire pool of entrants, just to spice up the Cuteness.

Each winner will receive $1,500 cash and 20 units of their t-shirt! Plus, each of the winning designs will be sold in deviantWEAR. Wearing a Cute Monster t-shirt is known to ward off any Scary Monsters who might cross your path.

If you'd like to pick up one of these new designs on a t-shirt, they will be for sale in the deviantWEAR shop very soon. Add £deviantARTGear to your +Watch list, and you'll be instantly notified when they go up.

But until then, a hearty and adorable congratulations to our three Cute Monster winners!

The Winners Are...by £deviantARTGear

i did not enter nor did i hear about this contest but congrats to the winners you should be proud

@all of the people who complained about the winners

If you/the person you wanted to win didn't win then tough luck. I was expecting better comments imo.

The results were fair enough for me. I liked them all because most of the were really simple and they were perfect for a t-shirt (i'm sure all those people who complained have no respect for simplicity).

LOLing at the fact that most of the complainers are either anime/manga styled artists or furry lovers. Hehe!

~i-draw-on-something Feb 12, 2013 Student Artist

They just sicken me. They don't understand what 'art' is heh.

*ambientdream Dec 19, 2012 Professional Digital Artist

of course Bobsmade won!!! Yaaaaay congrats to all the winners! I agree with all the designs.

I think I know why some of people can't understand why these people win.. I think they're stuck with the ORDINARY CUTE imaginary.. rather than all out artistic LOL.
