The Devil's Circle turns again.
The dark Mill is grinding my Life into Dust.
And no one sees how the Facts are all bent.
They tell me all I need is more Trust.
My dear watchers and readers,
I'm sorry for the delay, I actually started and wanted to finish the second part of the "Frost" art-introduction in November and go on in December with a Christmas topic and in January with the topic of handcrafted works.
Somebody messed me up pretty bad here on DA in November, though and I've been very down since then.
I had a run in with a vicious art thief back then (read the comments), who only hid or delted the picture he took and reposted on Facebook about a week ago.
Thank you very much for reading so far and excuse the longer Journal entrance I wrote this time.
Now I'm going to introduce to you the artists, I chose for having wonderful pictures here on DA on the topic of "Frost":

Starting with
boldfrontiers
somadjinn, Nicolas Raymond is a 36 years old professional photographer from the United States.
He put his main focus of work on photography, and he is really good at what he does as well.
A lot of nature and different seasons, that you can take a look at in his gallery, went into his works.
I did read in his ID, that he was inspired by his deceased father, so I want to express my condolences to him at this point, too.
See below what great works this connection brought forth, though:

The second artist, I want to show you is
teaganwhite
Teagan White does not say much about herself on her page. Her ID is missing, so I know not much about her, beside that she's from the USA and female.
She's a professional artist who puts focus on wonderfully painted storybook illustrations, not only fitting this occassion, but many others. You can find some more of her works on her page.
They are absolutely lovely and I want to show you some of her works, that match the topic of frost:

Another amazing artist, with very impressive works is
redtreeme
Redtree is another artist, who doesn't give much information about himself, beside that he has been on the page for about 8 years and that he is a male artist from France.
He makes pictures, focussing on photography, that can easily be called professional, but he says, he's still learning.
His works often have a humorous touch to them, which make him seem like a very sympathetic human.
At least in my case, his works never fail to make me smile. 
Let's check if they have the same effect on you, shall we? Please also check out his gallery to find many more of his awesome works!

About halfway through the journal, I want to show you the work of
KatyLipscomb
Katy Lipscomb is a professional artist from the United States. The focus of her art lies on Traditional paintings and she's commissioning many of her works.
She has awesome skills with watercolours, don't you think? I really love how the colours float into one another and the awesome effects they create with the mainly white backgrounds. Also, she has a lot more then only blue-ish pics in her gallery.

One artist, who does extremly beautiful craftwork, is
Firefly-Path
Firefly-Path, "JoEllen Elam" is another great artist from the U.S. She is a professional that has specialized on Artisan Crafts and is capable of making absolutely gorgeous dresses. I even found some wonderful suits, I fancy. 
Anyway, in case you wondered: Yes, she has a shop. You can actually buy those heavenly clothes.
If I ever decide on marrying a girl, I definitely would want to buy one of those dresses for her to wear at our wedding.
(Also, because I want a suit made by this artist.)
She has many Gothic styled dresses and different kinds of accessoirs, too, so there is definitely a lot to explore on her pages!

Number six in this Journal is
AngelaRizza
Angela Rizza, a professional illustrater from New York, U.S. has awesome skills. You will notice that, if you look at her works below and consider, that they aren't handdrawn - as I first thought - but digitally created. I think, this is a pretty unusual combination between her folklore-like style and the medium she uses to create her pictures, also considering the many different shadings she uses.
It's definitely something great she does there and something very different from all the usual digital art that surrounds us here on Deviantart.
Another thing, she's seems to be good at, is carving. I grew especially fond of the cute little fella I featured below. <3
Find some more interesting artworks and her awesomly carved pumpkins in her gallery!

And last but not least, I want to show you
hannes-flo
Hannes Flo is an artist from my beautiful neighbour country Austria. He focusses on beautiful nature-photography and although he calls himself a hobbist, the quality of his works can be easily called "professional".
Somehow he manages to catch very atmospheric views on fog a lot of times, but he's also capable of taking utterly sunny and friendly looking pictures.
His gallery is definitely worth a look, because guys, this man knows how to play with light.
Just look below and convince yourselfs of that:

[Author's Note]
Dear artists!
If you got any objections, such as you don't want to be mentioned in my journals or you don't want any of your pictures showing there,
you can object to it in retrospect.
Please post a public comment to the concerned journal, in which you clearly ask for this and I will do as you requested within 30 days,
unless I'm dead or otherwise not able to do so anymore.
If you don't want a specific piece to be shown, you can also ask me to remove or exchange it, via P.M.
I'm not gonna ask before I mention artists and pictures, though.

[Pers] Progress I made in the past year
So something ZambieMaster said today made me think about what progress I made in this year.
(Thank you, buddy and please, anyone who reads this, check out her awesome gallery and give her a lot of love, likes and nice comments, ok? :3
She deserves them!!!)
Anyway, I know, I did learn a lot this year. In January I wasn't able to even imagine that I'm capable of drawing/painting the way and stuff I do now.
Then I had a break-up and got that "In ya face!"-kinda feeling you eventually get if you start to dislike somebody you once dearly loved and I started getting better at arting.
I'm really proud of the progress I made, so I want to make an actual timeline, to reveal some pictures I did in between December 2016 and December 2017.
Let's start with what you know from me now, because I don't want to give you a culture shock if you see my earlier works.
Current work:
December 2017
Three month ago:
October 2017
Six month ago:
:bademoticon: 
June 2017 :bademoticon:
:bademoticon:(And now it starts getting really worse. >_<)
Nine month ago:
April 2017
And exactly a year ago...
Twelve month ago:
December 2016
Umm... yeah. Merry Christmas 2016 there, I guess.
Ok, guys. You can faint now.
Christmas Art-Feature
Merry Christmas to all of you guys... or I hope you had one. More like "Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year", now, I guess.
I hope you've had a wonderful time with your families, friends, pets or otherwise loved ones.
(Since I know not everyone does get along with their families.)
I promised to make an art-feature for all the watchers willing to take part, for Christmas, as a "Thank you" for being there for me here:
I want to Feature my Watcher's works for Christmas
Hello, my watchers!
I know, I posted a status earlier today, that I'm busy, but there's one more thing, I want to talk about with you.
As most of you will know, Christmas time is coming around and while I'm Agnostic/Pagan in belief, I do celebrate the custom of giving at this time of the year.
<strong>
You may or may not have realized it, but all of you people helped me a lot this year, because 2017 had a terrible start for me.
I did learn a lot about myself through this particular year on DeviantArt, I found a lot of strenght and new, great friends here and I started putting my focus on making art enough to learn and create stuff I didn't thought I was even capable of a year ago.
I want to thank you for all your comments, for all your favourites and every message you wrote me in this year.
I want to thank you so much for being there and supporting me. I love you, guys. <3
Also: [Core Member] I got a wonderful Christmas present this year here on DA. I also want to say "Thank you!" for that. :3
But enough talky. Let's Christmas. ;D

Hello, my watchers!
I know, I posted a status earlier today, that I'm busy, but there's one more thing, I want to talk about with you.
As most of you will know, Christmas time is coming around and while I'm Agnostic/Pagan in belief, I do celebrate the custom of giving at this time of the year.
I want to thank all of you, for your support in this year!
Which is why I want to make a
CHRISTMAS ART-FEATURE
for my Watchers
:bademoticon: 
this month.
I'm not going to make it like the other art-features I made until now, where I quietly go around and pick a few artists that I'm showing you.
I'm actually asking you all, to:
Please post 1 or 2 of the favorite pictures, writings, craftworks YOU MADE in the comments here.
And I'm going to feature them in a big journal at the end of the month, to bring all of you together.
I'm not going to write any comments or explanations to the artworks you're posting and they don't have to fit a special topic.
Only restriction: No Mature Content allowed.
Meaning: No gore and violence and no sex, nipples or genitals please, because children could be watching or reading and I should probably keep this family-friendly.
Male nipples and general sexiness is OK though.
Don't look at me, I didn't make the rules, I'm just following them.
Beside that, please comment to your heart's content!
