What is the MPG Project?
The MPG project stands for "Monthly premium give-away project".

Art-for-Artists Project Stopped by dA TermsHello Deviants,

A few people may have already noticed that yesterday my commission widgets were removed by the dA Staff. This was due to the fact that this project actually violated some terms and conditions. This was unknown to me as well as a few others that I had checked with. I was sent a note to clarify what went on, and asked for permission to share it with you today to clarify any issues.
Hi Zev,
I'm noting you today regarding your use of the Commissions widget.
While we understand and appreciate your desire to help your fellow artists with a charitable project of this type, unfortunately taking donations via the Commissions system is not a permissible usage of the widget. While your intentions were valid, unfortunately allowing such usage would open us up to many other areas of abuse by those with less noble intentions.
As a result of this, the commission purchases have been refunded to the original buyers and the funds removed fro

News November 2012General
Not much to report this time. If you have any news i should share here, let me know!
edit:
The only thing that might be interesting for some of you:
The recent changes for thumbsnails do affect the gallery CSS. Atm it seems like the color of the text links below deviations can't be changed (at least i haven't figured out how). Also the border images you get when a deviation is too wide or tall won't match your background as it has the default green/grey in it. Not sure if can be adjusted, haven't played around with it yet.
It's not the fault of dA, sorry for spreading wrong information.
This issue is caused by the deviantTHUMBS:HUGE v7 user style by `rotane http://rotane.deviantart.com/#/d5cghor . If you have it installed it will affect the link color in galleries. That's why your gallery skin might look different to what they should look like.

nitchwarmer--Dark And Horror At dA GroupsRight now according to da’s group listing we have 3000 Dark Groups and only 800 Horror and Macabre groups. It’s clear that dark art is more popular than horror is. With few exceptions both accept the other art into their galleries. I decided to spend several days investigating most of these groups to see what the difference was and there's not that much really. Darker groups in all cases that I saw took horror art, and they should, dark art has deep roots in the horror world. Films are one of the biggest influences through advertising these days. I only found two horror groups that only accepted horror art but, what’s the difference between the two?
Most people claim that real horror art is harder to create due to the elements it includes. Horror and Macabre is more shocking and most of the time involves blood, lots of b

FAQ: Where do I submit book covers?Hiya!
I've seen a few people lately asking where they should submit book covers when they are uploading them to dA. First, they should NOT be submitted to Digital Art > Photomanipulation unless they are simply the image (e.g. they do not have an author, title, etc.).
So, where do they go if they are actually book layouts (with author and title)?
You can submit them here: Designs & Interfaces > Editorial Design.
I hope that helps.

Halloween: The answers!Here are the correct answers to the Halloween riddles:
The Vestibule

My moniker came without conclave, but I quickly cast it aside. Never since has my name been repeated. Who am I? [Answer: Pope Celestine V]

In life, I embraced neither the darkness nor the light. In death, I am nowhere near either and can only run ragged around this outer vestibule, stung relentlessly by hornets for my lack of judgment. But, I digress. Which olive-toned stone might be of the most use to a Witch who wants results that are . . . otherworldly? [Answer: Moldavite]

Under me, He suffered, died, and was buried. I did not believe in His guilt, yet served him unto Death most willingly. For that I must suffer. Who am I? [Answer: Pontius Pilate]

Hi there =Alex-Blaszczynski here.
This is the official journal entry for The Prize Stash

All through 2013 i will be donating a bunch prizes for competitions.

Donating Deviants: What is this?
After i sent out a couple of notes informing groups of this project i got a reply from =CelticStrm-Stock who said
"...You know, it might be fun to gather up a bunch of people that are willing to donate prizes on a regular basis for contests so it will make it easier for groups to find for their contests."
So i have decided to contact a few people here on DA and see if they would be interested in adding to this list. Prizes donated by These deviants will have their name next to them in the list.

I am hosting a contest: 1820's-1960's Vintage Feeling [link]
I was asking if you could donate some points and/or features as prizes... Thank you!

In exchange, if you think they could be good prizes for other contests, I can offer my exclusive resources [link] as prizes to be added to this list...

What are you able to donate?

=bmxking1000 Mar 9, 2013 Professional Photographer

what do you want me to donate

point's and subscription's and deviantart wear if you need it

~GreyRadian Feb 9, 2013 Student General Artist

Hi Alex

I'm very interested in the 12 month premiumship donation for the contest at

^^

If it's possible do you think you could split the 12 month into 4x 3-month premiumships? Since our prizes are split into 4 evenly.
I'd also love to ask for a feature for the four winners as well ^^

A-and if it's not too much, i'm also interested in the fella plushie for our raffle contest?[link] but it's fine, the raffle is just purely for promoting the contest ^^

=Alex-Blaszczynski Feb 9, 2013 Digital Artist

Hey there.
I can offer the 4X Three Month premiums as well as the feature.

However i will not be able to offer the fella plushie as depending on were the winner lives the shipping can bring the total cost of donations to over $80.

~GreyRadian Feb 10, 2013 Student General Artist

Ahh thank you so much! That's great to hear, and it's ok about the plushie ^^

We'll update the list of prizes and include your name in the credits page. Thank you so much once again!
