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 calledBurdenedHearts , 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.


On Seeing without SightPATIENT 1 - a young boy of ten-twelve years; was discharged from hospital one week after operation. He is in his bedroom, surrounded by wooden objects and shapes on paper.
BOY: Depth? What is depth?
DOCTOR: Depth is the third dimension, other than length and width. (motions with hands)
BOY (bemused): Dimension?
DOCTOR (holds drawing of square and a wooden cube): This drawing has two dimensions: length and width. This wooden cube has three, including height.
BOY (struggles to reach wooden sphere): This is depth? (holds sphere with both hands, ogling)
DOCTOR: No, that is roundness. The sphere has depth, though.
BOY: I don't understand.
PATIENT 2 - a young male slightly older than Patient 1. He is in a hospital bed, preoperative.
DOCTOR (presses wooden cube and sphere into patient's hands): Can you tell what these shapes are?
Dear LostDear Lost,
Hello. I've likely not met you in reality before,  but
I can assure you that we have more than a  few
things in common. Maybe you like to sleep with  the
window open. Maybe you like to carry a wallet  in
your side pocket instead of the back. Or  maybe
you walk down the stairs with your feet poised  to
either side instead of straight, rigid motions.  There's
more, I'm sure of it.
But we both are our own person. It's plausible to  say
there's much more which keeps us distinct than  loop
us together. And I'm fine with that. Maybe you  single-
knot your shoelaces while I double-knot mine, or  you
find a cup of tea much more enjoyable when  you're
alone, with a good book in hand. Or maybe you  think
the stars are just wispy balls of gas, whereas I find  a
bubble of solace whenever I see the hearty  light.
I think I can trust you with a secret. My grandmother
passed away a while back, and I can't remember e

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.

Waltzing his last danceThe hall slowly fills;
there is not a tremor, not a sound.
The silence instills
the beating hearts of those that stand around.
Merriment then swells;
its satiating tremble within so profound
but alas there is but one man,
that waltzes to a tune unfound.
The merriment grows
as heels tap and dresses sway.
The bodies glow
with the light shimmering over the ballet.
The melody flows
for all participants are joyful and gay
yet woeful is the man in the corner
that dances a dance of dismay.
People laugh;
the girls in the hall giggle and pose
on the men's behalf
displaying their ornamented clothes;
the splendor in craft
invites many woos and bellows
while wearing a battered old suit
the man unnoticed sways on his toes.
Each lad takes a hand, 
of one of the many, graceful girls,
since the dance began
since then the couples gracefully swirl
Others seat on divans
letting their sonnets of love unfurl
yet a My six-word-stories"A lot is said... none meant..."
"Love and logic truly don't rhyme..."
"Who said you ever knew me...?
...but you did, didn't you? Why?"
"Writers paint pictures that painters cant"
"Do raindrops, departed, ever meet again?"
"I lived till you loved me"
"Alas, you are my darkness redefined"
"Cheap tickets - very strong motivation indeed."

NotemSMSK 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!!!
