The DeviantArt Timeline entries from the past few months have discussed how we’re focusing on user experience for DeviantArt and ways to make the site more intuitive. In this journal, we'd like to kick off a discussion on another big design-related milestone: to improve the profile experience on the site, mobile web, and mobile apps.

Do you believe in the beauty of absence?
“Do you believe in the beauty of absence?”
This lyrical quote is from one of my favorite songs of all time by the brilliant songwriter Kevin Ray, and I couldn’t help but hear it again vibrate within my head and my heart when I saw these latest artworks by Yuumei.
These latest artworks conjured by Yummei, forged from the forever stuff just beyond the grasp of consciousness, again remind me that nothing, absolutely nothing, comes close to the healing power of art. Visual, auditory, sculpted, or with words, nothing can transcend the spiritual bliss of the “deep spiritual grok,” of the healing personal connection w

$5 is hardly anything for a commission, heres why
Edit: Okay, wow--If I knew this journal would get the attention that it's getting I would have tried to make it sound a bit more professional and a bit less ranty im almost a little embarrassed
I'm also really glad that so many of you could share your input and experiences. It's really important that we understand this--especially on a site with so many young, impressionable artists. It's easy for us to think that our time is only worth the end product. When i first joined this site (i was 13), the first type of commission that I took was a full picture for only 5 points. Granted--it didn't look the best. i was only 13 after all, but at the

Chats and Forums Newsletter v.4
What are Chats and Forums?
The chats and forums (chat (https://www.deviantart.com/chat), forum (https://www.deviantart.com/forum)) are places where you can interact with other DeviantArt members. The forums are divided into 9 different categories, and feature 25 (28 if you're a core member and senior) different forums with different purposes in which you can post threads and comment on other peoples' threads. The chatrooms are limitless, in that hundreds of chatrooms exist in which you can join! However, DeviantArt has its official and CR run chatrooms where you might want to venture first! All in all, the chats and forums are a great way to meet new people, get your artwork seen, blow off some steam, joke a

It’s the king of the comfort foods.
The fact that it’s a completely unnecessary and optional part of a meal, a dessert, does nothing to mitigate its powerful hidden meanings in each of our lives. The preparation and presentation of no other food conjures up such deep–welled memories of mother–love and being taken care of, of being considered special enough to be treated to such a laboriously created confection.

“Some use Ink, I confide in Silver”
— Lauren E. Simonutti

Quote by Lauren E. Simonutti
“ The misfirings of my beloved/despised mind that conspire to convince me to destroy all have rendered me housebound and led to a solitary life. A creature of past, proof, memory and imaginary friends, I am aware enough to know the things I see and hear are not real, but that does not mean I do not still see and hear them.”
Forewordby techgnotic (https://www.deviantart.com/techgnotic)
For a very long time Lauren Simonutti's haunting photographs were a spectral presence amongst the deviantART community, as emulato

In Toronto & on deviantART
No better living functioning evolving example of the new pattern in the creation, dissemination and education in the visual arts can be found than Imaginism Studios, the online brainchild of artists Bobby Chiu & Kei Acedera. Established in Toronto in 2005, the studio has specialized in pre-production character and concept design for film, TV, gaming, and publishing. As creators of some of the most wildly creative and whimsical images ever presented on deviantART, this artistic couple has built an international fan base independent of their contracted projects.

The Inevitability of Individuality
I've been working on this for quite a while and I really hope you guys enjoy the result. I was looking through my favourites and it struck me how images with a similar composition can look so different, particularly of people. The phrase "The inevitability of individuality" came to me, and thus this project was born. Now, posting it, it feels like a piece of artwork in itself but sadly all the images belong to other people (click through and fave!). In any case the point of this art piece is to remind us all that no matter what we do we are uniquely ourselves. There's no point, and no need, to try and be someone else. You're perfect as you ar

The Witchas Multifaceted Icon
Throughout history artists of every discipline have been fascinated, inspired and transfixed at every historical stage of the shifting perceptions of the “Witch” in any given time or society. The seams within every page of every chapter written against or in defense of the witch have been alternatively filled with oppressive sexism, blind eyed religious bigotry, occult doctrine, fevered and forbidden lustful sexuality, misplaced fear, and reams of wide eyed superstition.
Consequently, the colors, and lines within every stroke upon every canvas and visceral de
