A mix of my favourite styles of photography, with a couple of other things thrown in

Critiques

by *LindaLisa

beautifully done! The sky and clouds look so wonderful! and nicely realistic too. you've put so much effort into the water as well...

by =iris1999

Looking lovely, hun! i love the colour of her hair, and i like the pose with her moving her hand through it. Her clothes i see are mean...

Hoya Bella

One of my favourite flowers. Hoya Bella seems to be quite hard to buy in these parts. I've got a growing cutting from this plant- I might sell some little ones and spread the beauty :-)

Until It Sleeps

So tear me open but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me until I'm clean
It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you so hold me
Until it sleeps
So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip
Don't want your greed
Don't want it


I couldn't think of something necessarily evil when someone is cut open and poured out, so the rose can be however you'd like to interpret it. I see the rose here as a parasite. It has the colour of blood..

Be Yourself

Even when you've paid enough
Been pulled apart or been held up
Every single memory of the good or bad
Faces of love
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do


A moral? Yes, there's a moral. Be Yourself. Forget what everyone wants you to be.

Deviousness Award

`xerces is a fairly legendary sounding name which is appropriate given that this is a fairly legendary deviant, who in just over 2 short years has contributed close to 20,000 comments on deviations and thousands of other comments elsewhere on this site. In addition to that she has worked hard via her journals and news articles to help educate the community to help keep the galleries clean in addition to her tireless work behind the scenes reporting images that are out of place. She is indeed an example to follow, and has earned the honor of deviousness for November!

It's coming... amongst other things

It's coming
Yesterday, the first steps were taken to get my website up online. YES! It is coming! The domains were set up yesterday for 2 years. It will be in the works soon, so I am currently starting to stock-pile some jewellery and Geoff is working out some designs and such for it. My photography has long needed a website, but to have one that will be there for my jewellery also, as well as selling prints and jewellery, I can't wait!
I'm so ridiculously excited, it's untrue! When I have that all set up, I'll be printing some business cards. I am hoping to do a 'grand opening' as well, for which I plan to put my available jewellery and prints on sale :-)
:eager::eager::eager::eager:

Ebay
Some of my latest auctions are ending this week! The new designs of the fishbowls, steampunk and new blood vials are ending soon, so get in there before someone else does!

Four years
Well, better late than never! I kept on remembering and then forgetting again about my deviantART birthday this year, so I've finally remembered to mention it, even though it was June 10th that is my deviantART birthday! But anyway- I've been here 4 years, and come August, I will have been doing horror and macabre photography and make up for over 4 years too.
Thinking of other four years, I will have known Geoff for 4 years in September and will have been with him for 4 years in November. I can say they've been a pretty damn good four years! I've been so ridiculously happy throughout this relationship, and I just seem to keep on getting happier.

Did you know?
:bulletred: That deviantART volunteers (MN@ and Gallery Moderators) are not paid to help out on deviantART and therefore aren't staff?
:bulletred: That deviantART volunteers do not have to put up with insulting language from other deviantART members?
:bulletred: That deviantART volunteers sacrifice their own time and money to helping other deviantART members?
:bulletred: That deviantART volunteers do not have set working hours and therefore can do their voluntary jobs at whatever time suits them?
:bulletred: That deviantART volunteers are chosen for their ability and will to work in the community and to help people, and not on how good their internet connection happens to be?
:bulletred: That internet connections, no matter how perfect will always have some sort of problem at some point in time?
:bulletred: That real life shit happens, which means that deviantART volunteers are not here to be your slaves 24 hours a day 7 days a week?
A few of those are obvious to me, but then I'm not a someone that seems to think volunteers are here to service all my needs when I say so, and should not be allowed to volunteer if they have chatroom lag for 30 minutes, while being the only MN@ online and helping 2 other people in a help chatroom. Seriously- you're suggesting people shouldn't be able to volunteer on deviantART because their internet connection has an issue every once in a while? WELL HOLY SHIT! I'M SURE A BILLION PEOPLE CAN CONTACT ME NOW AND TELL ME THEIR INTERNET HAS HAD THE MOST PERFECT CONNECTION FOR ALL ETERNITY! AND THAT THEY ARE NOT SUBJECTED TO REAL LIFE PROBLEMS SUCH AS POWERCUTS OR ILLNESS.IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PERFECT INTERNET CONNECTION 100% OF THE TIME, THEN YOU SHOULD SURELY KILL YOURSELF RIGHT NOW JUST BECAUSE YOU SHOULD BE GIVING YOUR VOLUNTEER SPACE UP TO SOMEONE THAT DOES HAVE PERFECT INTERNET!
:roll:
Please understand that being a volunteer is not a fucking cakewalk, and that sometimes, no one can multi-task when you have 3 chatrooms full of people to both help and moderate, or reply to 100s of DD suggestions AND miscat reports. We can't be at your beck and call because we have lives too- and real life can sometimes take a dump on what we're trying to do. Patience is a virtue.
I think you might find that ALL staff and ALL volunteers will have a dodgy connection at some point in their life. Shall we just remove all the administrators for that reason and let the site turn to shit? Yeah. Thought not.

deviantID

Hello there! My name is Kitty, more often known as @Xerces. I am from the good ole' UK and I am part of the MN@ crew. We're kept in shape by the almighty $Tachy-on and we are responsible for making your shenanigans in the chatrooms and forums a little more pleasant. You can find me and a few of the others in #devart and the official MN@ chatroom #MNAdmin sorting out misplaced forum threads.

I've been on deviantART since June 2005 and have thrown myself into the fantastic community here for as long as I've had internet connections. I got a seniorship in October 2007 and a deviousness award in November 2007, so I am a very proud member and incredibly happy to be a part of the site. I'm an old hat with most things here now, so I'm always around if you have a question or two.

On deviantART, I am a keen photographer and horror SFX artist, as well as a long-time supporter of the other artists around. I dabble in digital painting as well as nature and macro photography.

In my other time, I work as a trainee geologist, meaning if I throw a rock your way, I'll be able to tell you what rock it is, and how good it is for holding oil. But yeah- it won't be that much of a consolation if it hits you. My days include such fun as looking at rocks under the microscope and counting each crystal type.

At home, I'm a cat lover and I'm now itching to move out so I can live with my boyfriend and have my beloved chickens and chipmunks too.
