Hello everyone! I decided to make an article that will give you a detailed overview on the things that I consider for a Daily Deviation. In my second month as a Community Volunteer (well almost - time flies so fast :noes:), I have met lots of awesome suggester and some of them usually ask question regarding this and that, so I hope that I can answer them here.

In this article, I will be going to specifically talking about the things that I consider when I feature Daily Deviations. 

Will you only feature deviations under the Cartoons and Comics Gallery?

  • Yes! I can only feature deviations under the Cartoons and Comics gallery but I am  not the only Community Volunteer for this gallery because I am with the awesome alexandrasalas. :)

How will I know if it is under the Cartoons and Comics gallery ?

  • It's really simple :) You can go to the deviation page and you can see the gallery address after the deviation and before the Artist's comments. A sample screenshot is provided below.

Where to send a DD Suggestion if it's not under the Cartoons and Comics gallery?




Will you feature artworks with copyrighted characters?


  • To be honest, when I started as a CV, I was a little unsure about these two things as well. As you may notice, when I draw a Superman artwork for example, then I can also upload it under the Fanart or under the C&C Gallery here on deviantart. But after seeing and checking deviations, I was able to pin point some things that I consider before featuring something:

  • When the artwork with a copyrighted character was uploaded to the Fanart category, then by all means, I will not feature it so you should send the suggestions to either alexandrasalas or Lyricanna but when it is uploaded under the Cartoons and Comics gallery, then I will ofcourse consider featuring it.


  • But that's not all! ofcourse, comics and comics also have styles and that will really help in maintaining the uniqueness of the artworks. When I feature cartoons with copyrighted characters, I always think of this question first, "Is this from a cartoon series?" By cartoon, i mean, like Adventure Time, Winnie the Pooh, Penelope Pittstop, Power Puff Girls, Thundercats, etc etc! Or if it was from a movie or game that was eventually, it should have a cartoon feel


  • Forartworks with comic characters, I always think if this character(s) is/are from a comic. Like Marvel characters, DC, etc and they usually have a style that makes it a comic artwork, usually in the presence of inks, halftones and other visual effects.

I am very much open to talk about this matter further. So if you think there's something missing here or to the extent that you disapprove this, then please note :note: me or leave a comment here


Do you consider the layout when featuring a comic?


  • ofcourse! I consider things as much as I can, especially when it comes to layout for a comic page. If the page is not organize and it will lead us to confusion when reading, then  it somewhat destroys the value of the comic because we will have a hard time in getting the idea of the artist.

Will you feature artworks with gore and blood?

  • Yes. But the mature content tag must be turned on

Will you feature artworks with too much sexy females/males?


  • Yes. But if it exposes too much of the body parts, then the mature content tag must be turned on

Will you feature comics written in other languages aside from English?


  • It varies from a case to case basis. If it has at least a transcript of the translation, then I'll ofcourse consider it.

Will you feature cartoons and comics in Anime/Manga style?


  • No. It's either I'll ask you to send it to the Manga/Anime CVs or I'll forward it to them

Will you help budding comic artists here on Deviantart via a Daily Deviation?


  • Daily Deviations are not the only way where I will be featuring artworks. Interview and feature series are on my plans already so i'll let you know :)

I have more questions


  • just note me or leave a comment here

Please take note that these are just the preliminaries. I will add more stuffs from time to time :heart:

Thanks everyone! I hope to receive more suggestions from you all :heart:
