Once again, the CV team is here featuring the works of dA's beloved forumers!
Once per month we'll select one active user in the forum and we'll feature his or her gallery. This is someone we believe represents the forums well with both good forum-abilities and art.
As we're kind (and awesome), we also decided to give an opportunity to everybody to get featured! Every month, we'll create a thread in the Deviation Thumbshare Forum with a different theme. This thread will be made into a sticky for easy access. All you have to do is post thumbs from your gallery matching the theme and, at the end of the month, we'll select our favorite thumbs from that thread and feature them in the next news article
The best thing is that the only requirement is that you're an active member of the forums!

"This piece shows her strength in both concept and technique really well, especially in her sparing use of colour which makes the one colour she uses a lot more poignant."

A better 2018, two months in
In the last days of 2017, I resolved to do my little part to make 2018 better. I decided that I'm going to change, then what I'm going to change and why those things, and how I'll change them.
Two months in, let's see how it's going.
I
Overeating: I've made some progress. I have done this maybe 4 times, and mostly only slightly.
I still rarely separate the lunch and dinner before I start eating. What helped me get this right was mostly just having made myself the promise of not doing it, and having seriously thought through the consequences.
II
Sleeping enough: I'm as surprised as you, but I actually made progress! Especially in February,
For a better 2018, final part
So far, I have decided that I'm going to change, then what I'm going to change and why I'm going to change those things. The last question: how?
Ideally each of these would be a skill or habit that I train until it's natural and mostly effortless.
I can only sketch the initial attempt at improving these things. With time I'll learn if they work or not and change the method. I'll reflect in a month.
I
For overeating, the first step could be to decide how much I'll eat before I start eating. Ellen and I often cook more than we need to leave some for lunch. I could separate this in advance and leave only the amount I intend to eat, before I e
For a better 2018, part 3
Step 1 was deciding to better myself.
Step 2 was choosing five things I know I could do better. I have more, but five seems a good number to get started. And these five should lay a good basis for whatever may be next.
Step 3 is imagining. To be properly motivated to improve myself, it's important to realize well why I'm doing it - who I could be if I work on it, and who if I don't.
What if I don't?
If I don't improve on any of these dimensions, next year I'll be a year older and none the wiser. I'll still be wishing to improve on these things. I may have realized even more things I need to do better. I'll be further behind, and further fr
For a better 2018, part 2
What would "becoming a better person" look like, for me specifically?
I don't need to bother defining "good". I think I know how I can be better, if I ask myself.
I don't know how to be perfect. But some part in me knows at least 5 things I should be better at, by my own standards. My conscience tells me all the time. I just have to pay attention. That's hard, because I'm so used to ignoring it.
Actually, I just threw around the number 5, but let's see if I can come up with five.
I
One of the most common things it tells me (that I ignore) is "you should stop eating now". When I ignore it, I often end up with stomach ache, or being unable
