3wyl always seems to have something helpful to say whenever she comments on artwork. She promptly answers questions and comments. She even runs a group specifically for the purpose of creating an incentive for people to comment well thought out comments. She is a community volunteer, but she goes above and beyond her call of duty.

"If I can do anything for you, please do not hesitate to contact me."
This sentence, as powerful as it is brief, really sums up the heart of what 3wyl brings to table here on deviantART. 3wyl is a beloved community volunteer who goes far above and beyond her call of duty. Whether it's her incredibly helpful feedback on art and forums alike, the dedication she pours into featuring daily deviations, or even the warmth and welcome found on her front page, 3wyl is truly a shining star of unconditional generosity. She also works equally hard to inspire that generosity in everyone who crosses her path; she even runs a group specifically for encouraging the posting of thoughtful comments. And, despite all of this, she makes sure to address all questions and comments that are directed to her. Finally, 3wyl is also a talented artist; her photography seems to move and breathe of its own accord; it really speaks for the grace and beauty of its creator. She is definitely worthy of the title "Angel Without Wings".

The list of the reasons which make Aerode deserve this special award, featured  „And I just love him”. And it’s indeed easy to take to a personality like his. Even though he’s relatively new to the community, he does everything to make Deviantart a better place. He selflessly promotes works by another artists: he places their works int he very top of his page, and is running multiple feature projects. Along with his amazing literature art, he also creates supportive stamps for people he finds extraordinary, is constantly looking for work to promote, and basically has a good word for everyone. Nothing could express it more than the group, he’s running, called :devdaybrighteners: , that looks for kind words of love, or pictures that can simply make a day. He’s also connecting people in group chat rooms. He is int he tame of the group called BurdenedHearts , that, as the name implies, helps broken-hearted people to get together and find solutions for their issues. These acts of kindness also make us believe that Aerode’s everything we could ever hope for an Angel.

Cataclysm BeachDawn falls asleep, and we wake on an engraved shore.
We forever collide with our castles
of sand, then stone, and finally concrete
in one hard millisecond.
As the oceans write a love story with the skies,
the waxing tides swallow us in one big gulp.
Dawn wakes, and the end has simply happened without a crash.
Perhaps one day
we will learn that there is a way to see
without sight,
and live without letting ourselves go.    HandsHands were the subject of many discussions in our household. My mother used to trace the head and heart lines on my left hand and say, "Don't get too violent. You could kill someone." If those two lines connected, she warned, a person would be branded as aggressive, short-tempered, or mentally slow. It was spoken of by Thai ancestors, but I dismissed the story as pure folklore.
This was never an issue for me. My palm lines snake past each other, with only a trickle connecting them. It was, though, for my brother. His palm lines collided and diverged angrily across his palm. Whether it be a coincidence or not, my brother grew older with a fierce temper and smoldering grudges. I grew feebly, contracting illness constantly and succumbing under a weak will. Years later, however, our roles switched and I was an angry, explosive preteen with no filter on my mouth. I still constantly have fits of rage, but I've begun to learn how to stifle them temporarily.
As I grew, so did my hands. Others'    bleeding pulsesi can unlock the sky with your
winter bones.
  i'll run away with your shadow,
  beneath your footsteps,
  because sometimes, i am
  nostalgic for things i've never known.
  and sometimes, i am too bloodshy
  to ignite.
  i can only hope to find a cloudflood
  that carries two.
after unearthing the atmosphere,
i still cannot find you.

NavyBluePanda is a young, sweet deviant with a greatly caring heart. Not only Mercédès is a really nice and generous person in general, but she's just started a group called Feature-at-Random, which focuses on getting random deviants and deviations featured. Meanwhile, she is an active leader of three another groups. She's also really supporting towards other groups – she saves points and gives them away to the founders as a surprise, to be able to buy super group statuses, as well as she supports individual artists. Mercédès's got epilepsy as well, which has opened her eyes to the severity of the disease, and she regularly goes and comments on other peoples' submissions to wish them well. Another thing she does is she goes out of her way to help others when they need it, and will do so without question; Mercédès always listens and is always kind to people, and she'll stand up for people who don't or can’t stand up for themselves. Even when she’s going through tough times, she puts that aside to help others, and does her best to make everyone happy.

NotenSMSK is a very sweet friend to many of us! He's very kind and a real pleasure to have as a friend!!! When he's not featuring deviants from everywhere around dA, he keeps himself very busy giving meaningful feedback and very helpful critiques!!! He's the kind of person who cannot get unnoticed, because he leaves a sweet trail of kindness wherever he goes! All of his comments and responses are filled with encouragement and all sorts of helpful advice!!! And although his main passion and biggest talent is the world of Writing, he has been selflessly giving his time and efforts to artists from all types of art mediums, and his critiques are filled with kindness, respect and honest opinions!!! Having a sweet friend like NotemSMSK is a real blessing indeed!!!
