Theme
To survive the jungle that is deviantART you must know how to communicate with other deviants. An essential part of this is knowing what all those funky acronyms mean. There is no day on dA where you wont meet a lol, lmao or ttyl.
This contest is about creating an artwork evolving around one of those abbreviations.

What happened?!
Holy fucking shit I have not been here in a while.
Just saw on twitter a new theme was out and naturally I got curious.
Turns out in February I got a spike in pageviews, starting Feb 17th until Feb 27th, with hovering just around 1K a day and then from 1.200 on 27th to 63 on 28th
So yeah, no idea what happened, I did not get a DD for a deviation that's more than 2 years old, that I can figure out.
Also I had to delete 1K mentions, because roughly 900 of them were the same person using on a daily basis to wish people a happy birthday.
If anyone can explain this, please do, or I will forever not know.
That said, what else happened? Not
Lots of freebies on my (new) blog!
In an attempt to make the most stressful holiday of the year even more stressful I decided to have a big freebie event at my blog. Every day until the 24th I will be posting new free items for everyone to download.
Check out my blog to learn about the freebies!
Today is a special day, it is December 6th and St. Nikolaus day, so the freebie today is especially big. It contains samples from previous products I released, some new items and some old items that are available for free already.
Here's a link to the post with the big freebie!
The entire website is actually new and fresh with the blog and it's homepage. It contains all the big way
About that Kiriban... and other things first.
The Sunday through to Saturday feature is postponed for next week. I have not had the energy to focus on it this weekend. I don't want to go into detail, I think you are all aware of the horrible things that have happened in this world in the last week, and I am not one to virtue signal. Most of the time I am torn between lost for words and anger.
Meanwhile I am working on a few commissions, so at least I can get busy with that. I want to open up more in the future, as mentioned in the previous journal.
Speaking of the previous journal.
After a long deliberation I decided to not give out the points.
Why?
Because someone manipulated my pa
Kiriban caught!
I think it's time for a personal journal!
You didn't see that one coming, did you?
Obviously now that I decided to write this journal I forgot what I wanted to say.
Oh, right!
Kiriban at 333.333 pageviews!
It is about 2000 views away, which is about 20 days judging from my daily pageviews, so I suppose I will reach it end of July or early August.
If you reach it, take a screenshot and note me with it.
Actually even if you don't hit it exactly, I am probably letting win whoever came the closest.
Wait, win?
Yeah, you can win something. I've collected quite a few of points that I cannot transfer to Paypal, so I thought I should share them
