Hiya Darlings,

    I have a new hat! :happybounce: I am so excited to help out with our Stock and Resources community! I am looking forward to being a part of all of the fun ahead! I have a feeling that this is going to be an amazing adventure! I'll be working with our Stock and Resources CVs, Elandria and PirateLotus-Stock, who are amazing stock artists and very cool people. For my watchers who know me, and my new watchers who've recently added me, thank you! I absolutely love this community and I am honored to have an opportunity to volunteer.

Now, here's a little bit about me: 


    My name is Cheryl. I am a happy-go-lucky, laid back individual that just enjoys life as it comes. I am 33 and live in Missouri with my husband Todd and our two cats, Squirt and Lucky. I enjoy the outdoors, especially when it comes to camping and going on float trips. I've always thought a float trip devMeet would be ridiculously fun someday. :D

    I admit to being a nerd and loving it. I love the science fiction and fantasy genres the most. I enjoy reading and movies among other creative endeavors. I began providing stock because I became fascinated with how artists can take an ordinary object and turn it into something extraordinary. I love it when people notify me that they've used my stock. It's like my very own un-birthday present all year long. Skill level isn't an issue, I love each and every piece that gets used!

    I enjoy helping out with our community. I've been providing stock between my two accounts for some time now. I finally switched all of my stock over to this account a few years ago to keep it organized and focused. Don't be shy when it comes to contacting me! I don't bite. I love being an active part of the community, and that means getting to know you! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.


Here is what I look for when you suggest a Daily Deviation Feature:


- Send each suggestion in an individual note. It will help me keep track of them. Remember to send your suggestion to ONE CV only.

- Make sure the person you are suggesting has not received a DD Feature in the last 6 months.

- Make sure the piece you are suggesting fits within dA Terms of Service.

- Quality. Make sure the image isn't grainy or blurred and is at least 1000 x 1000 px as per dA Guidelines. The higher the resolution, the better!

- Is it usable as stock? Most often, heavily processed images are great as photography, but they can be difficult to use in a photomanipulation or as a reference.

- Impact. Is it one of those images that make you go wow? I want to see it too!

- Views. As a personal preference, I really enjoy seeing suggestions for people who have never received a DD, or whose piece has a surprisingly low amount of views. I will consider others, especially if it's one of those knock-your-socks-off resources.

Community Features:


Do you have a stock related contest, feature, stock group, or other dA Related event coming up or ongoing? Let me know! I will add it to my featured portions of my journal. Also, I regularly donate exclusive stock prizes, so if you need prizes for your contest, send me a note! Speaking of contests, there is an amazing contest ongoing right now at :iconcrphotomanipulation: that the photomanipulators among us would love. Check it out:

Planetary Mythology Photomanipulation Competition!Mythology of the Planets
Welcome to the latest "dark" photomanipulation contest, supported by Community Relations here on deviantART. This contest will challenge you to think outside of the box, for you will have to not only create something, but you will need to do a bit of research and think about why you are creating it. :XD: Are you ready for a competition that is out of this world?
Before we go any further, let me clarify that PLUTO COUNTS!
What do I have to do?
Choose one of the planets (or Pluto) in our solar system, listed below. Moons or suns can be a part of the larger picture, but they do not count as your god/goddess. 
Your job is to create a PHOTOMANIPULATION in which you show a myth around a planetary ruler (that is, the god or goddess after which the planets were named). 
The gods/goddesses can be Greek, Roman, or other.... but they must be planetary rulers.
Here are


That's it for now! I hope you all have a wonderful day/evening!

Love,

- Cheryl

P.S. Here's that cat: :giggle:
