Free icon-raffles are yes? YES!Whelp, so I noticed this got in dA's footer. 
Just a small reminder that this is a raffle for people who are watching me. 

I think I will probably have to check people to make sure, though.
:faint: Why?
I've gained a lot of new watchers recently, but I haven't really done any give-aways any more since ... more than a year?
I figure now is the time to rectify this by doing a free icon-raffle!
:la:
I will be raffling off an icon like this:
 
The icon can be of any character of yours you want it to be.
You're basically winning a free icon-commission.
 
How many will I be raffling off?
That depends on how many people enter. For now, I'm raffling off 1 icon.
Should more than 250 people enter, I'll be raffling off a second icon.
And in the unlikely event that 500 people are to enter, I will be raffling off a third icon.RULES

- You have to be a

Spring Alliance Contest!:wave: Greetings, luminous Allies! It is my pleasure to announce the Spring Alliance Contest! :party:
:iconlit-visual-alliance:
What is the Alliance, you ask?
The Alliance is a project group intended to encourage visual and literary artists to work together. I've felt for some time that the dA Literature Community can at times be somewhat insular - to its detriment. We in the Lit Community are also sometimes prone to griping about the lack of exposure our work receives when compared to that of visual artists. So in the spirit of ^thorns brilliant Complaint Challenge I thought I would try to do something about that. And so the Alliance was born!
Because I, your founder, have a deep and abiding love for the seasons, this group now hosts seasonal contests, and as the Winter Contest is now over, it is time for Spring. ^^; I

M/A Repeating Contest: May!Monthly Repeating Manga & Anime contest!
Hello hello!  ^rydi1689 is incredibly busy with school so she asked me to put out the announcement this month for the contest.  Our apologies for the delay ^^;  So, with out further ado, today we put a start to Mays Contest!! Are you excited?? :eager:  Keep reading to see what we will be doing this month!
A little F.A.Q before we get started :iconjumpingla-plz:
How does this work?
Every month I'll give you a theme and you'll have to create a Manga/Anime styled entry according to it :la:
Is Fan Art or Fan Characters allowed?
I'm afraid not :( Only Original Characters and universes are allowed. Your Naruto based OC, for example, isn't elligible to enter or win.
Can we submit pre-existing works that fit the theme?
Nope. All entries must be made specifically for this contest, old artworks won't be accepted.
Alright! :la: Now that we have the basics down, let's get i
Gerard's Twitter Icon WinnersGerard's Twitter icon contest had a lot of incredible entries, and I want to give them some recognition. Some group members generously donated prizes, so I've chosen first, second, and third place entries, as well as seven runner-ups.

First, an honorable mention for a couple of phenomenal artists who aren't on DeviantART: Blade Runner Gerard by Artist Jane Bush, and this awesome cyberpunk entry. If you've seen any other great entries on Tumblr or Twitter who need to be seen, feel free to link them in the comments.
And now, here are the winners.

May Lineart Contest: Circus/FlowersThe :iconcolor-me-club: Presents:
The May "Circus/Flowers" Lineart Contest
A recent poll has shown that apparently you guys like things that are awash in fragrant bouquets of festive colors! This month, we will be holding a lineart contest based around the themes of Circus and Flowers.
While your entries all have the chance to be selected for coloring in next month's coloring contest, the line artists get to now really express themselves with patterns and floral arrangements and wild animals jumping through flaming hoops over sharks on scooters (wait, is the wild animal on a scooter, or the sharks? The answer is yes).
Also, if you would like to help out in this month's contest but don't quite have the chops/time to chalk up a lineart for it, worry not! You can still do your part and get judiciously thanked by contributing to our Donations page! It's like a Kickstarter with fake money to buy real things like prints and subscriptions!
Well...subscriptions aren't r

:winner: SPECIAL LITERATURE PRIZE :winner:
In another reality...Every little girl has her own monster. Made of colourful darkness, of bright shadows, like the sun without light or a rainbow caged in mist. A beast of nightmares eating nightmares. It grows in her heart and life like a splatter of ink, seeing the world through her eyes. It is made of what she knows of the world, of what she fears. It gives her power over it.
I was no exception. I had my monster. My familiar.

A storm's brewing in the sky...

Tears gave it birth upon a december's night. It swirled from the shadows and the howling wind. Fur of snowflakes melting in the liquid and viscid blackness of its bluish scales. My soul called for it
