Admin Pick - Comment of the Month
Tuntalm chooses TeamStormbow's comment as June's Comment of the Month! The comment perfectly depicts how to constructively support an artist using impressions. The fact TeamStormbow links the piece to a Van Gogh's painting helps illustrate the vibe they get in front of the symbolism of the artwork. Moreover, TeamStormbow does not hesitate to mention their doubts and questions regarding the piece, and TeamStormbow tries to leave useful suggestions even if they don't have all the information they would normally need!

I Have Slept With ThemI have a confession.
I have slept with them.
Others begged to hear about it,
But I replied with vague, half-true answers.
I have felt them,
Warm and bursting inside of me,
Until I could feel no more.
But the initial ecstasy
Has now been replaced by shame;
I have not slept with pride in years,
Not even whispered its name.
I have a confession.
I have slept with them -
The secrets, I mean.

Congratulations to VKA3 for being the most active and constructive commenter!Black Button GlassesI was walking down the street
It was drizzling slightly
The weather was cold and muggy
As I walked down the street this night
The streetlights started to flicker
The streets began to have bizarre looking shadows
Shadows that seemed to move by themselves
I began to wish that I could be somewhere else
Almost anywhere else
I slowed down paying careful attention to the shadows
And the dark nebulous patches in the buildings that shivered around me
It seemed as if something could jump ot at me at any moment
It started to get darker and darker
It seemed as if I was doomed
Then as it was almost pitch black
I felt a hand on my shoulder
I jumped and screamed
A little man was behind me
He said he was sorry he startled me
He said he was creeped out by the flickering lights
He asked me if he could travel with me
I didn't want to be alone, I said yes
The lights suddenly stopped flickering
And the rain got heavier
I looked at the odd little man
He was a little taller than a dwarf
He had cold clammy p

June - What to Expect?
Check out our Discord server for weekly fun and activities, where you can win 
, comments and more! A Tip and Final Word!
Ask each other questions to get to know more about the artwork, and the person behind the artwork! We would like to thank everyone who has given a constructive comment in the past month. It takes time, effort and more, but every constructive comment you make helps a member of DeviantArt, a fellow artist who may or may not be in a similar position to you. We hope that the artist will pass on the kindness and give a constructive comment to another member. Without your comment, we may not be able to hope at all.
