Showin' the Love!

Journal Entry: Tue May 3, 2011, 1:26 PM


Hi, ya'll :D

I wanted to share an idea with our fabulous member community....so here it goes....

In an effort to increase appreciation within our own group, and with our affiliate groups & with our own, personal followers & fans, it'd be particularly nice if we all try to show our appreciation for attentions paid to our works by editing piece descriptions, to include icons, links back to articles, etc. & letting them know we did it.
This does a few things:
1) it lets our fans, friends & followers know we really do appreciate the time they've taken to vote, post, etc.
2) acknowledges those who've helped - and continue to help - us get the adulation, input, etc. we want for our own pieces
3) bring other viewers to your own works, as well as the works of your fellow community members by drawing attention to the groups/people who've appreciated you

To see examples....
Check out my edited descriptions for these pieces of mine:
   

:heart:So go on, show the ones who love you that you love them right back! :heart:

I too agree that updating your descriptions is a great way to show your appreciation for the thanks and awards given to your pieces.

That's exactly what the "Daily Penetration" Award is trying to do for you.

You get featured on our home page, you get a feature at the end of the month that goes out to all the deviant art viewers in the deviant news articles, and you get a thumb photo that shows that you won, which you can place in the description of your art!

:bulletred: By adding the dates, winning card icons or (thumbs), and/or the group thumb/icons into your descriptions, it not only shows thanks, but it's a great way to give you knew vigor to find other groups to submit your work too or give an opportunity to show other people what they could be doing with their art.

So please update those descriptions with your winning art. It's all too important to give back that appreciation and express how good your work truly is!
