Every SIX new watchers, I post a feature journal to share my love will all of you. This feature will have 3 different parts :
to start with I go through my newest watchers' galleries and pick up a deviation to feature from each one of them
HOWEVER: empty galleries and galleries filled with pieces that don't follow DA rules won't be featured! This applies to not crediting stock or using copyrighted material, stolen artwork, hate speech, etc as well as to violence, gore and sexual material. Thank you for your understanding.
I will also no longer feature litterature pieces not written in English since I want everyone to be able to read them.
Thank you for your understanding.
then I choose one fellow deviant to introduce to you
and for the last part I choose a theme and feature 6 pieces from my recent undiscovered talents favourites matching the theme. This feature's theme is : HOODS.
So let's get started !

NEWEST WATCHERS
Little update on the meaning of "newest" watchers
When I started this series I wasn't that popular. I still am not very popular but hey, I'm not complaining, I love you guys!!! Anyway back then it took me more than one week to gather 6 watchers. So the feature response was pretty quick and I would refresh constantly my notifications page praying "please one more watcher, just one more watcher and I can post the feature!"
Now it's a whole new deal! Soon after the first few journals I started getting more and more watchers, and it came to a rate of a couple of days. But then it got out of hand and I tried to promise you a new watchers feature every other day. But that was really too much, I guess you can imagine.
Finally I decided I would slowly but surelly feature my watchers, in order, every week. So yes, "Welcome to my world" is officially a weekly feature now. I can't tell on which day exactly I will post it since I have a life (you don't say) and I can't always be that ponctual. It also gives you enough days to suggest more art in the themed section and you know how much I appreciate the interactivity ^^ so keep on suggesting please. The best way to thank me for the feature is to suggest a piece for the next issue!
When I'm writing this journal, there are still 52 not yet featured watchers, so please be patient, your turn will come!!! Don't you worry ^^
SPECIAL DEVIANT
BelphegorDeLEsip is a hobbyist writer from France. Though he has a job and a family to take care of, he's still a very active deviant and a dedicated artist. His main goal is to publish a series of fantasy novels and he's got already a lot written down.
We made an art/litt exchange the other day, I drew for him his character Yatla and in return he wrote 17 fcking pages about a encounter between my Mio and his Yatla. SEVENTEEN!!! Anyway, you better start learning French right now!!!
It's not the first time we worked together, earlier this year he translated in French the Sandbox Butterflies poem Amarantheans has written for our illustrated litterature collab.
He's really good at playing on words. You can find in his gallery very well executed poems that will put your brain upside down.
And of course, his speciality, fantasy stories. I really like this one!
Finally, he can also write in English. This piece was an entry for our annual collaborative contest at CollaborativeMinds.
HOODS FAVOURITES
'See, Little Red Riding Hood, how pretty the flowers are about here - why do you not look round? I believe, too, that you do not hear how sweetly the little birds are singing; you walk gravely along as if you were going to school, while everything else out here in the wood is merry.'
Little Red Riding Hood raised her eyes, and then she saw the sunbeams dancing here and there through the trees, and pretty flowers growing everywhere.
Little Red Riding Hood, Brothers Grimm
What was supposed to be a mere hood feature somehow almost turned into a Red Riding Hood feature. At least, this is what the DA search handed over to me...
From the suggestions
A big thank you to the suggesters
Next themed feature will be about ILLUSTRATED LITTERATURE: show me deviations that pair up litterature and illustration, just like a page in an illustrated book. Quotes don't count as litterature, sorry.
Examples
A guide to suggesting

no blurry scans or dark photos

the pieces must be on point with credits
mature content is fine as long as it's respectful and tasteful
