Semi-Important Notice: Feature O' Friends is now a bi-weekly article and will be posted every 2 weeks from now on.
Hello, one and all!
Time for another issue of Feature O' Friends!! This series is aimed at developing and nurturing community spirit by allowing members to suggest a friend to be featured in the next issue! Those who suggest a friend will also have their art featured as well.
Interested? Come on, we'd love to see who you're willing to suggest!
But before you do any suggesting, here are some guidelines and steps you should take in order to participate.- First, think of a friend who you think deserves a feature, and write up to 5 sentences why you think your friend should be featured. Give other members a reason to check your friend out!
- Next, choose two deviations from their gallery. Choose the ones you love, or the ones you think deserve the most attention. Get the thumb codes (":thumb000000000:") of these deviations, and add them into your suggestion.
- After that, grab two deviations from your gallery that you'd like more attention on, copy and paste the thumb codes and put them in the suggestion as well.
- Submit your suggestion as a comment on this journal, and wait for you and your friend to be featured in the next issue.
- If we receive a lot of suggestions, we may need to push back some suggestions into the later issues. So, don't fret if your suggestion doesn't appear in the next issue, as it will be featured some time later.
- If you are a Beta Tester and the thumb codes in your comment are turned into actual thumbs, please insert these: anywhere in your thumb codes before you submit your comment. This cancels out the thumb code and the thumb code will just appear as a thumb code.
While not necessary, feel free to use the forms below upon suggesting (in case you feel confused about all of this):For non-Beta Testers:

Suggested by: Emothivamp-Art
"Waess is an amazing young artist who deserves more attention than she is getting, at the moment. Her artistic ability within the digital drawing and photo-manipulation area is outstanding and I was amazed the first day I saw her artwork. Waess is also a very friendly person and her artwork always turns out amazing. Definitely worth watching!"

Melmee
Suggested by: cddmanful
"Her coloring skills and shading skills, and her beautiful technique in faces of all kinds make her a favorite of mine for commissions, and I think others would agree! She also has great ideas that you don't find everywhere, as her little plushie drawings of one's OC... �She even makes some of the sweetest little icons you will ever see! �She is a good friend, who has been very kind to me! �She is responsible for my first OC, whom I adopted from her..."

Yetinia
Suggested by: Acsh
"Her traditional artwork is always unique, composed with heart and soul as you can see from the samples. Her skills are spectacular and her paintings are simply amazing. And not only is she a great artist, but she is also a wonderful deviant who helps others out with valuable critiques and suggestions. She's definitely a deviant worth featuring, and worth more attention from the community. Love you forever <3"

K-Kemp
Suggested by: Rynxo
"K-Kemp is a good friend of mine. In her gallery you can find both stunning photos and mostly semi-realistic equine themed artworks. The word that describes the style the best for me is natty - every single detail in her designs is polished up and looks professional. She has created wonderful and creative original characters which are totally worth paying attention to. Moreover, RivenPine's doing great with perspective and architecture."

"She is a great writer in my opinion, she has very good spelling and grammar. And the way she writes is just amazing. She is almost always open to requests as well and she's just fabulous."
Their works:Misunderstandings (Fred Weasley X Reader)
“Oi! George! Save me!” You called as Fred carried you away. George just shrugged before turning around and walking off.
“Traitor!” You screeched. You were very close to the twins, but you had always felt something more for Fred. Hence why you wanted to get out of his grasp. You may have a small crush on him, but you didn’t trust where this was going.
“Fred, can you put me down? My skirt is riding up…” You said sheepishly. You could feel your skirt climbing higher up your body and you did not like it.
“Nope!” Fred said cheerfully. “Nice bum by the way.” Fred said teasingly. You flushed and tried to wriggle from his grasp.
It did not work how you wanted it to.
You ended up tumbling to the ground, and somehow dragged Fred down on top of you. You blushed again and tried to wriggle away from him, but Fred refused to move.
“Can you please get off of me George?” You asked when Fred still kept you pinned down.Finally (Neville Longbottom X Reader)[friend's works]
You watched as the girls tittered around Neville, trying to get his attention. You scowled in annoyance. They had only become interested in Neville when he started going through puberty. He used to be slightly short and plump, but now he was tall and he was starting to get some muscle. You had always liked Neville and been nice to him, he was one of your only real friends. You had a few other friends, but Neville was one of your only guy friends.
You could see that Neville was not enjoying the attention; he was not used to having girls fawn all over him, and went to go save him.
“Hey Nev!” You said as you jumped on his back. He wrapped your legs around his torso and started walking away from the girls; who were now glaring at you in annoyance.
“I’m just going to take him for a bit; don’t get your knickers in a twist!” You shouted as Neville walked away. You could feel him chuckle beneath you and smiled, even though he couldn’t see it. Neville k

SurpassingSolitude
Suggested by: WintersRead
"SurpassingSolitude is an artist of diverse mediums, including literature, costuming/sewing, painting, and her favorite: charcoal. She is quite talented, and doesn't upload her art very frequently, so it is a pleasant surprise every time. Lately, she's been trying a few new mediums: colored pencils, paint, and watercolor, with the occasional return to charcoal. She even teaches art to kids! That said, she has far fewer watchers than she deserves."

"She is really good at putting up drawings that will just make you laugh. She's my big sister and is good at taking the most outrageous chibi request ever. She might be slow at getting it out but the wait is worth it to see the adorable funny drawings."

flowerpower71
Suggested by: Riverthunder
"flowerpower71 has been one of my greatest online friends since I began my writing career on fanfiction.net. She is always friendly and kind, but is also very helpful and has given me some great help which has made me a better writer. I also enjoy the fact we are doing the same list of Writing Prompts, because I love how differently we can interpret them."
Their works:Hetalia: The Price of Freedom
The sun was just about to set, ending another day. The sky was painted brilliant hues of orange, purple, pinks and a little bit of red. But the beautiful sunset went barely noticed by the lone figure who was busy climbing up the hill.
Alfred took his gloved hand out of his pocket and pushed his glasses back up onto his nose. The hill was a lot steeper than he remembered. Then again it had been awhile since he'd been there.
When he finally reached the top, he slowed down, coming to a halt completely. He looked straight ahead at the silohette in the distance. He swallowed down the lump already beginning to form in his throat and walked forward.
He reached a gravestone sitting underneath the shade of the tree. America dropped down to his knees and stared at the smooth stone. He reached up and traced the words with his fingers.

How can I repay you brother ofWriting Prompt 151: Learning French"Papa Francy?"[friend's works]
Francis Bonnefoy looked up from the newspaper he was reading and looked at the little three year old, blonde haired, purple clad girl that stood next to him, looking at the Frenchman with big blue eyes.
"Vhat ez et mon petite fleur?" Francis asked, folding the news paper up and giving all his attention to his adopted granddaughter Alysia.
"Can you teach me French?" the little girl squeaked.
Francis blinked in surprise. "You vant to learn French?"
Alysia nodded, grinning widely. "Yeah! Your language sounds so pretty. And I wanna speak it so I can be like you."
Francis felt his heart melt into a puddle at these words. He beamed at the child and suddenly picked her up, swinging her around. "But of coarze mon lapin!"
"Yay!" Alysia cheered, giggling and wrapping her arms around his neck. "When can we start?"
"Right now."
