I'm bored, and I was just thinking about a bit of the hubbub of the recent seniorizations of late. I decided to write a small list of who I think deserve to be seniorized, or at least who I think would look sexy with a little tick by their name.

I'd like to know who you would like to see become a senior. Tell me why, and I'll add them to the list, provided your reasoning isn't just, "because they're so ttly awesome," be descriptive, yet concise. If there is someone on the list that you completely disagree about, tell me why. Let's see if we can't help these guys get a little credit for what they do around dA. Tell me who you think deserves the deviousness award, too!

Don't suggest yourself. I abhor vanity and it's just plain tacky.

Please try and suggest someone who isn't necessarily a friend of yours.

Perhaps you admire them from a distance, or have run across them by accident recently. They don't even need to be on your watch list. In fact, I'd love it if you actively sought out new people just to suggest.

If you feel uncomfortable suggesting in this journal's comments, please send me a note. All suggestions and sentiments will be kept private and anonymous.

Make me regret ever making this journal.

=lenawargo - "It's hard to go anywhere without seeing this person's influence in some way or another. She is the proprietor of accounts such as *deviantSPOTLIGHT, she holds contests and constantly donates subscriptions to events going on within the deviantART community. Whenever someone needs help, she is the first person to reach out -- despite what may be going on in her own life. When asked why she is always so generous, she simply replies, 'It makes me happy to see other happy.' As a moderator for #Thumbsshare and a regular to dAmn in general, she comes into contact with hundreds of deviants and always leaves them with a friendly impression. Her influence is often behind the scenes -- and she contributes to the community in several 'secretive' ways."

I don't know how she keeps up with it all." "Jess is one of the most friendly and caring deviants around, and tries to help the community and users in any way she can." "... she's always friendly (well to n00bs like me anyway), and makes a great number of comments."

=M1A2Tanker - "He has set up, and maintains a set of networking journals, listing artists, their sites, styles, medium, and prices, so that people searchng for commissions can look at an easy to read list of artists and find exactly what they're looking for.

I know you say to hunt out someone who isn't a good friend, but I simply can't help myself in this case. There's a reason he's a good friend. It's because of all these amazing things he does, that nobody ever seems to notice, and I think it's high time he IS notied."

*angelitonegro - "... because she had helped many ppl who no cant speak Spanish in her chartroom HISPchat. and her team translating many thing to the spanish to the ppl who can understand i."

~Electromechanical - "... for he is one of the most creative minds on this site. Very random and odd at times, his comments always make me smile! Simply looking at his latest journal tells you enough about his personality to make you want to know more." "...he's just too interesting and awesome an individual to *not* have some sort of recognition. His journals and antics are always very interesting."

*kayceeus - "... she is a very supportive deviant who is often standing up for other artists and helping with advice and kind words, she is very approachable and I have always seen her helping with advertising for contests and news for other deviants etc. She is also really good with commenting on artwork."

=sammigurl61190 - "She is a very sweet and loving young woman that just doesn't get the attention she needs from dA or anyone else. She is also a VERY talented artist and I have admired her and have striven to be like her since I started here 4 years ago."

=Nol888 - "His work with dAmn colors is most commendable, and has enhanced many users' experiences of dAmn in much the same way `siebenzehn has done with dAx. As such, I believe he would be an excellent candidate for senior status."

=frozenpandaman - "He deserves this because of his unnatural delight for coding and that he can never fail to make me smile. At times things seem to never go one's way, but he can turn that frown upside down in mere minutes. Not to mention the fact that he gives almost EVERYONE he knows a funny comment on their page." "...considering he's always around and seems to be a very helpful and productive member of the community." "[He] is easily one of the most homely deviants around.

He's always been very friendly to everyone and tries to make sure that he helps everyone with anything they need."

*boribaby - "...she is an exceptionally generous and pleasant individual. She answers every comment she gets, even though she has dozens and dozens each day. She gives 3-month subscriptions away every month, and often much more frequently than that. She's very encouraging and outgoing, and a very talented artist as well."

=AimanStudio - "His work with =deviantARTcommunity is absolutely incredible, along with his love for the community and helping out."

=IBinsanity - "... even though we all know he is a bit a crazy and a whore he is passionate about the community and lends a hand at helping organize events that bring us together."

*Hennauoti - "[She] is an incredibly skilled artist who is not afraid of sharing her skills and insights with others of her trade. She has made various very helpful tutorials and is very informed about the world of art outside of deviantArt. I've been watching her journal for a while now and even though I am myself not a digital painter, I have always been amazed at the amount of useful information she comes up with in a kind and polite manner."

Deviousness suggestions:

`synconi - "[She] is an amazing and supportive person. I think she deserves deviousness for sure. She comments as much as possible I see her EVERYWHERE. She gives thoughtful comments too, not the BS 1 sentence ones. She cares and it shows. Perfect deviant."

`love4art - "She's very informative about her processes and health conditions. She makes really neat news articles, and she comments everything! She leaves paragraphs of encouragement and support and critique. It's really helpful and she's a huge advocate of commenting AND faving instead of the dreaded fav and run. The nicest person I've ever met from dA. Ever." "She is probably the most kind and caring person I have met on here, and is always her friendly self to any user, willing to give anyone a chance and become their friend - or just help them out with critique, comments... you name it!"

`RetroZombie - "... due to his tremendous charitable activities and warm, welcoming attitude with new comers as well as his solid support [of] writers." "...he has been a huge, huge support and benefit to deviantART, and even the lit community here, which often goes ignored -- i hope he gets deviousness someday, seriously."

`feetpeet - "...tirelessly involved in clubs and helping others. [Her] commitment to the community is so amazing. When I grow up, I wanna be just like [her]."

`WaitingForTheWorms - "...tirelessly involved in clubs and helping others. [Her] commitment to the community is so amazing. When I grow up, I wanna be just like [her]."

`snowmask - "I think we'll all agree that she's just an amazing girl, who gives so much. She's a fantastic personality and great sense of humour, and is a spectacular artist to boot." "She's so super awesome. Really sweet, builds relationships with people, and takes the time to leave conctructive comments. One of the nicest people I've met here on dA." "Katie is a very caring, yet funny person who likes nothing more than to help the community of deviantART and its users in any way possible. Always having massive amounts of spontaneity, she could lead armies and many more to follow in her amazing footsteps."

`thespook - "In fact $thespook PLUS the plaque would be awesome. His actions justify... everything. No need for me to elaborate."
