On behalf of dAseniors, The-Senior-Stache is the base of operations for :points: and News of Senior members, defined as those users who have a ` or a ° as their symbol on deviantART.

This is a news article, posted once every two weeks, choc-a-block full of Senior happenings and initiatives, stunning visual features, an awesome mini-interview and much, much more!

Even though this is mainly Senior orientated, if you have something you want to promote or are just looking for something generally, senior or not, we invite you all to take a gander.

FAQ #29: How do I become a Senior Member?
FAQ #106: What are the symbol next to each deviant's username?

The Senior Photo Album

By exarobibliologist

Welcome to the Senior Photo Album. Our goal each issue is to expose you to new, incredible artists and art. In between each section of news in this issue of The Senior 'Stache, you'll get to see 3 pages of the Senior Photo Album as we highlight some amazing artists on deviantART. In this issue, ALL of the featured deviants responded to our requests for interview, and in this jam-packed feature article we'll bring you some of their thoughts as well as our favorite pictures from their galleries!
The Senior Photo Album would like your ideas! Please send us your suggestions, deviations, and theme ideas so we can make them part of a future feature article. Send a note to exarobibliologist with the Subject "Senior Photo Album Suggestion". All notes will be responded to.
The first deviant we're featuring is Helen-Stifler. You might recognize her from around dA from her amazing blue hair avatar!
That Day by Helen-Stifler Goodnight,My Lord by Helen-Stifler White Evil by Helen-Stifler
Helen-Stifler describes herself as a spontaneous artist who gets inspiration from lots of sources, including "films, music, drawings, sometimes even in the nature." She has a "considerable quantity of ideas that I can't sometimes remember all of them." Her path towards art is a continuous adventure for her since she says: "inspiration comes to me unexpectedly as though in a spark in my head suddenly lights up!"

Number 1 by Helen-Stifler Broken up by Helen-Stifler Bottomless black hole by Helen-Stifler
Helen-Stifler's favorite deviation is the first image on the top row. Why? She doesn't know. She just likes it all: the color, the composition, her hair... and the burning butterfly!

Soul Evans by Helen-Stifler Zoom into Me by Helen-Stifler Smash the Flag by Helen-Stifler
Helen-Stifler's last words of advice to everyone? "Never refuse to be creative only because someone has written the negative comment on your work. Try to correct the defects and to be improved... Don't be sensitive to criticism."

Welcome back to the Senior Photo Album!

Please remember to suggest your favorite deviations for the Senior Photo Album to feature. It's as easy as sending a note to exarobibliologist with your suggestions!

Our second featured deviant is Lord-Kevinz! His gallery represents many wonderful galleries here on dA including Horror & Macabre, Classic Portraits, Glamour, and many others!

During his interview, Lord-Kevinz described himself as a "creative artist" and his art as "emotive thought, not really any definition of art, just thoughts in his head that he lets the pictures speak." He gets his inspiration "from surfing the internet and from movies." He believes that there's lots of inspiration to be tapped into everyday.


His favorite deviation is . i'll never see you again featured in the top row of his pictures. "It's unique from what other artists did on deviantART, and I'm kinda proud of the blood work."


Last thoughts from Lord-Kevinz? "I believe that everyone has the skill to improve their work. My suggestions is to continue working on your art. Be different; it doesn't matter if you don't have a good camera to take a picture, if you're still created something new."

The third deviant featured and interviewed in our issue is RaBBiTKa!
Detail by RaBBiTKa Relaxed by RaBBiTKa Enchanted by RaBBiTKa
Describing her gallery as a whole RaBBiTKa says it is "very, very colorful. I always try to combine different hues of colors and simply experiment with them. Many times it happens that there's cuteness involved too..."

Different by RaBBiTKa Where do we run... by RaBBiTKa Expression by RaBBiTKa
Her favorite picture is the first picture in the top row of her pictures. "Detail" is unique among waterdrop pictures because the interaction between the focus and depth of field is stunning.

Melting Time by RaBBiTKa Luck Caught Me by RaBBiTKa Veil by RaBBiTKa
Get to know your camera, it will help you reach better effects. With knowing your camera, you'll also know how to set the proper settings without being obliged to put it on the auto mode. Play around with Photoshop a bit and spice up your photos!
