Dragons are among the most fascinating and popular mythical creatures. We often see them as powerful, terrifying, but also as elegant, beautiful and wise. They can be depicted as funny, charming and cute as well.

These deviations will show you the diversity of this fascinating creatures and remind you once again why so many of us love them.

Super fun left for the end!
Interactive create-your-own-dragon art. You should really try 'em out





Some of these artworks are very popular, but many are surprisingly under-appreciated, so don't be shy about leaving comments to artists
I hope you enjoyed the selection.

The autumn's slowly on it's way.

We are in transition between the absolute freedom which summer heat offered us, and the cold that will soon force us to seek shelters...

And here, in this moment, fresh breeze slowly strikes. The chills we feel in quiet evenings encourage nostalgic mindscapes, the world around us melts into different images...

And there are beautiful images indeed.

Some artists amazingly capture these images and emotions, bringing that autumn feel to all of us.

This news article is dedicated to some of the nicest autumn deviations I found here, which are posted in last couple of weeks.
Their autumn colours are often incredibly warm, reminding us how beautiful this world can be, even as it prepares itself for long winter sleep.

Wish you a lovely artistic autumn!

And let's not forget about this inspiring pieces of literature

Autumn WhispsAutumn comes with secrets in her hair,
Auburn splendors and azure skies,
Calling with windy I love you's
To star glazed chill,
Reminding us how death can be beautiful.:thumb135248175: AutumnThe crisp golden leaves,
The dwindling daylight hours
When the cold winds begin to blow
When animals and plants alike prepare for winter
Autumn is like a dying beauty,
A phoenix preparing to burst into flame and rise from the ashes,</b>

AutumnAutumn
The first day of new, fresh air
the midpoint of this long year
trees had taken such nice care
of their leaves, but fall is here
Now the trees are dying
but they'll see another day
there is no cause for crying
mother, your children are okay
I am running through the forest
a satisfying crunch beneath me
red, orange, and more, best
times are held here,
                 and the colors are the key
A cool breeze hugs my tender body
the school bells ring, children are called
and though my coat is thin and shoddy
I feel a warm glow, inside me it has crawled
The sweet smells of autumn
all of the warm colors it brings
the cool season has brought 'em
the air itself just sings. autumnseptember
   
    hot and moody, we kicked aside death as it lay across our paths, crunching underfoot beneath burning bushes and trees
    by night we burned the dry year past against the dark cool sea of naked stars,
    a homecoming, feeling lost enough that we finally belonged, together and dizzy on friday night
    the fields went golden as the sun rose bloody and newborn into a stark blue theater, everything blooming one last time before the frost
    and it hasn’t rained in weeks.

That's all!

Hello

I decided to make my stay on dA more interesting by doing a regular feature in my journal... at least for now! (we'll see how it goes )

I do not gather nominations by artist themselves, but rather pick deviations myself while browsing "newest", hoping that this way I'll also do some good for the less acknowledged artists

Random categories, random deviants and deviations!

However, I'd like to invite deviants to check out the features
First one to comment on journal explaining which is his fave featured piece and why, will get to be a Guest Deviant in my next feature entry!

If there will be more than 10 comments, I will also include a Bonus feature (1 deviation) in my next entry, for fellow deviant who leaves me best journal comment about his fave featured piece from this round.

So here it is!
just check the journal on my page for more details, as well as this round's features!



This is all about interaction, appreciating each other's art and exchanging our opinions!
