Cosplay Tutorials CollectionCosplay tutorials are among the most fascinating I've found in DA, full of inspiration and secrets that make you want to try them, even if you've never cosplayed before. I took a good look around and tried to put together the best collection that I could, so please feel free to browse all of these and try them! Let these artist know how awesome and generous they are for their hard work

This article was written for #ArtHistoryProject, please don't forget to visit the project and also join the nail art contest we put together.

Faux FoodIf you browse the culinary art circles, you'll often see comments on skilled artisans' deviations reading, "It's a shame you have to eat that."
Outside of culinary arts, food deviations attract the opposite: "It looks delicious. It's a shame you can't eat it."
It's an endlessly amusing juxtaposition. We want to preserve the art, but sometimes the inedible version is just so tempting you feel the desire to consume it anyway.
Many deviants use a variety of mediums to portray fun, quirky, and sometimes deliciously realistic food. Here are a few examples from five different mediums used to create more permanent versions of favourite food items.

Input from deviants - RE: Gallery Makeover Project

Two months ago, we asked you the community to give us input on ways to merge, remove, add and retire sub-categories for easier browsing and submitting.
We were instructed to remove clutter and merge galleries rather than make more mess, so we gave priority to removing redundant galleries instead of creating more. We understand that many of you love new galleries and would be thrilled to have a new gallery for every single craft, but please understand that this is not possible. Please take a look at the current galleries and let us know if you think that any of them can be merged or is unnecessary.
We took all of your suggestions and put our brains together. This is the result that we are proposing, there's still time to leave your suggestions and propose new changes, so please feel free to do it.

Proposed Changes

Featured CharacterRULES:
A. For each of the first 20 people to comment to this journal, I will feature one of their characters. I'll also tell you what I like about them.
B. If you comment, please do the same in your journal, putting the tagger on in the first slot. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone!
C. If I Don't like your character that you shown me, than it's not my problem.
1.~Ginzo25's Ita

I like Ita for the way she looks. Her blue color makes her interesting. And her puffy-like dress makes her look very cute.
2.~D-MENCIA's MM Twins

READ THIS!!!Hi, it is me Sammyjs04,and this message is to people who want a deviant art account, but their parents won't let them. Look, do not get me wrong, THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO WILL BE JERKS!!
You:" ugh, seriously, this is super pointless. My parents say this every day!"
Look, just read this! I came across a real jerk today for the first time. Most of the time this cite is friendly and fun, and there are some parents that will let you come up on early, and I know because I know an 11 year old with a YouTube channel, but please. Be super careful! If you had a problem like this comment. Others feel free to also comment!
THANKS,
SAMMYJS04

Spray paint on styrofoam !If I ever told you not to spray paint on styrofoam, DaFrontlineTrooperhttp://www.youtube.com/user/DaFrontlineTrooper found a way to do it. Confirmed is you need to paint minimum 7 layers of regular acrylic paints but I am going to try with 5 layers on an old gun I do not care about. I will tell you if it works.

I'm sure no one needs explanation what hair ornaments are. These hair accessories have not just ornamental function, but practical too. Take a look at these gorgeous hair clips, combs, sticks, hair bands and other gorgeousness for our tresses.
