Interview with *MadspeitersenMads Peitersen is a professional digital artist that lives in Denmark. His gallery consists of unique artworks, so i advise you to make him a visit after reading what he has to say!

First, please introduce yourself to those that might not know you yet.
My name is Mads Peitersen. I am 33 years old and I live in Copenhagen, Denmark. Early in my life I quit highschool in order to pursue an education in Animation, Illustration and Art. Since then I have been working with everything, from Creating art for animation, Tv Series and movies, computer games titles to advertising.

PE Interview with ~ScorpionEntityIulian is an inspiring photographer that i had the honour of meeting in real life. He's on deviantART for more than 6 years now and i got him to answer us a few questions, so you can meet him too!

You are a very successful artist, what do you believe are your most important features that made you pop out of the crowd?
I don't consider myself talented, I practice a lot and still try to improve. First of all, I started photography by doing lots and lots of shot, and those got the attention of the public I might say. In time, I've perfected the concepts, editing, composition etc, but the idea still stands.
I try to do something different with all shots, and the photo sessions to be different from one another.

What do you look for in your models? What qualities do you appreciate the most in them?
Expression is the key to success. Also, the eyes. I believe the eyes are the d

Interviewed artist: =jane-beata :iconjane-beata:
Tell us what defines you as a person.
A deserted island, a closet, coffee and the weather - all those things sound like me. But I wasn't always that way, different things used to define me in previous times.
How did you found out about deviantART and why did you join the community?
An artist friend is a member for years, he showed me his a

Interview with *yangtianli
Yangtian Li was born in China 23 years ago, but moved to Australia to follow her dream of becoming a professional illustrator and animator for games, magazines and books. She agreed to answer a few questions, so let's sit back and take a few minutes to see what she has to say.

Clown Girl

What drawn you towards digital art, paintings in particular? How was your first experience with this kind of art and how long ago was it?
Like many artists, I have always been interested in drawing since a very young age, it was really just a natural thing. I love animation and I've always been watching lots of animations since i was a child. As I grew, I also found huge interest in comics (manga particularly) and games, and these have always been my inspiration. So my goal was always to become a professional artist i

Interviewed artist: *markstewart :iconmarkstewart:
Tell us what defines you as a person.
I would have to say one is defined by their actions, beliefs, hopes and fears. I believe in equality and fairness and the rights of all to express themselves any way they wish. I don't like elitism, greed or those who like to control or take advantage of others.

Abstract & Surreal

~AndyDragonPark says: "Abstract Photography is not something people immediately think about when you tell them you are a photographer. Most people ask " do you do landscapes, action, portraits or weddings". The truth is I do all these things but my favourite is Abstract Photography. Many definitions on abtract art will tell you that an abstract is one without a

Interview with ~yuriko-shirouMargarita is a mexican artist that has amazing skills and talent towards traditional art! Her works are brilliant and deserve a closer look, it would be a shame not to stop by to see the works she put so much soul into.

First, please introduce yourself to those that might not know you yet.
Hi everyone! It’s a pleasure, my name is Margarita Luna but I prefer to be named Yuriko. I’m 25 years old, I’m mexican and I am an illustrator. I’m working to be an art professor someday and to do art books as well. Painting and illustration are my biggest passions and I wish to dedicate my whole life to them.

You are a very successful artist, what do you believe are your most important features that made you pop out of the crowd?
Thanks, I still don’t consider myself successful, so it’s a little difficult to answer but imagining I could be, I c

Interviewed artist: ~bronart :iconbronart:
Tell us what defines you as a person.
I'm not really sure how to answer that, I am just me, I am different around each person, but one thing that stays the same is my art, I'm always thinking about my paintings, like the words of Andrew Wyeth - "I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting."

Interviewed artist: *Remember2Live :iconremember2live:
Tell us what defines you as a person.
First and foremost, I am a mother. My kids influence everything I do, including my art. Secondly, I am an artist. If I am not painting I find other ways to express myself. My second favorite creative outlet: pie making.

Architecture

~canismaioris says: "The most important in Architectural Photography for me is:1. Finding the right perspective. You should always look for an interesting foreground, first plan can totally change perception.
2. It's good to use wide angle, show as much as you can, use a wide angle lens or make panorama, but this trick doesn't work in every case and situation.

I don't like to be defined, that is pretty defining about me.
How did you found out about deviantART and why did you join the community?
I found out about it a couple months after starting photography, I'm not sure how though, it was a long time ago. I just wanted a place to show my work.

It's my upbringing that formed my set of values and believes which consequently define what I do. And each person is judged by his/her deeds, right?
How did you found out about deviantART and why did you join the community?
I guess once I found an artwork of one great 3D artist on Internet and luckily it h

Which, like every possible personality trait has its good and its bad sides. But of course I'm not the first person with those traits ever... I guess the only thing that can really define me is my DNA

Upcoming Contest

Tue Oct 30, 2012, 7:56 AM

I finally decided to host my first contest. And, because this is my first personal contest and i have no idea how many people will want to take part in, i decided to use a more general theme so it will attract deviants to enter (and never leave

Here is a small description of the contest:

Accepted mediums: Photography, Digital art, Traditional art, Artisan Crafts, Literature (basically all mediums as long as the artwork respects the theme)

The entry must be dated on or after the start date of the contest (December 1st 2012) - you can start preparing your entry, but don't upload it before the official Contest Announcement. More rules will be announced in the Contest Journal on December 1st.

Problem is, i'm in need of prizes: points, features, premium memberships, commissions, llamas, watches, art requests, comments, faves, critiques, whatever you can give for the winners will be greatly appreciated. I want this contest to be spectacular, so help me pull this through!

Aww, I wish I had known about this earlier... I actually made a fractal in December, and it's called "Let It Snow"

If you're going to have 3 winners, I could donate 10 points each~ish? Or maybe 20 points for first place and 10 points for second and third each. Let me know

And please keep in touch to remind me to give them the points! I remember I had offered points in one group contest once, but never heard back from them
