The tutorial
This is your chance to become a part of the largest collection of fresh and awesome tutorials on deviantart. The collection will contain tutorials that have not been published yet, and that cover a wide area of arts. I want you to join this project if you think you can contribute with some good stuff.

Organization
The tutorial will be organized in a very interactive flash, sort of like the grand planet tutorial only the users will be able to view multiple tutorials at once, and to move them around as they see fit within the flashfile.

There will be 8 or so categories, and each category will have 2-3 different tutorials. These tutorials will be picked from the submissions to ensure quality.
The categories are as follows:

- dA
- Photoshop
- Flash
- Photography
- Drawing
- Literature
- 3D
- Graphic Design
- Color theory
- Typography
- Space/sci-fi

This feature is the main feature I do. This artist is not only skilled in their field, but also deserving as a person of a special feature.
This spotlight goes out to my good friend ~Crosseout
He has saved my ass so many times. While i was away, he took the torch and carried attrius by himself designing the flash and collection submissions and putting it all together. He has been one of my closest and most reliable friends here on dA, and it is always a pleasure and honor working with him. Not only is he a bad ass mother fucker, he is also a phenomenal artist. Unfortunatley, no journal feature could ever do him justice, so head over there and send him some love. You wont regret it.

My go to guy for landscapes. Ive worked with a number of his renders and he never lets me down. In the words of ~Lotay "They make me Hot." Not only an awesome artist but a reliable, honest, good friend to have. This is one guy that you know has your back.


~RedXen
Bad ass. Period. We first started talking when I asked him to help me with my nebula technique. I was expecting a long note explaining it leaving me just as lost as before, but he really went the extra mile. or seven. Sending me a set of custom brushes and personal tutorial, he helped me so much. Now that we are in ~TerraSpace together working on a collab for the next pack, it is really an honor knowing and working with him.

Although i dont know him on too much of a personal level, he is one of the greatest upcoming artists i have stumbled upon. The moment i browsed his gallery i fell in love, and he has been a huge inspiration to me since. He is one artist i wish to work with in the future, and watching him is something i am very VERY glad i did.
