Finished my essay! New Features?

Journal Entry: Sat Sep 3, 2011, 7:26 AM
Aren't you proud? Thanks for the bits of advice, =Pixacious and *Cupcake-Kitty-chan!
I would upload my essay for all of you to look at (teehee), except that it doesn't really count as art, and I wouldn't want someone to rip off of it for their own chem paper.

:iconzara-leventhal:

Ohohoh and I got a new icon by ~LiriHeart! It's so cute and it matches *U*



So I'm really getting into this whole profile update/organizing thing I started yesterday, and I was thinking of expanding a bit to include some new features.

Daily features of artists in my journal-
I would make it more of an "audition" type deal, there would be a form with basic info like name and age, and other stuff like favorite media, some pieces of artwork, why you love art, and some other fun questions. Depending on how many people are interested or submit the day before, I will either feature the person who requested, or pick the most interesting of the submissions to be featured the day after. I was also thinking of using my twitter account to have tweetheart friday's, where I would ask a question or do a "finish this sentence" and the most creative could have their deviantART page featured. Do you think I should get a new twitter account that is only for any art updates and stuff like that, or continue using mine?

Facebook Page-
I want to create an Official Facebook Page for my artwork! Should I wait until I have more artwork of my new styles, or start one up now? Any suggestions on what I could post or bring that is Facebook exclusive?

Contests-
I also want to start hosting contests of different types, but I want to make sure that I have enough people interested and enough people who will be able to help donate prizes and such. So that might come a bit later, once I've established some of the other features.

Avatar family-
I have a bit of a problem-- I want to be in like, everyone's avatar family, AND create my own! I already have a lineup in my head on who I'm going to commission so I can be in their family. I really like the idea of an avatar family of my own--I just need to get a unique and adorable idea so I can start offering.

Less kiribans, more gifts-
This will probably only last during the school year, because I have less and less time to finish artwork. I think I'll spread the kiribans farther apart, and instead do more birthday gifts.


What do you think?
I'll take any suggestions, comments, whatever you are feeling after reading this journal entry. :la:

Ooo awesome! I'd love to see it!! And no worries, I'll be doing these features for a while, so you don't have to immediately be featured. :aww:

Daily artist is a good idea and helps people get noticed :D
with the contests you could ask people to feature the contest

Basically you have an icon that everyone wants, so people commission you or you give gifts to people using their oc and in the same style as the first icon :D does that make sense? XD
*steffne and *Abblecrumble have their own. It's also called an icon family :D
