"Online Art Community deviantART Hits 50 Million Submissions. "adidas Originals and deviantART Launch Social Network Integration." May 5, 2009. Membership also lets you participate in DEVmeets, which are offline gatherings where deviants meet, network and brainstorm their projects. And simply having a gallery of your best work online is important, too, letting you show off your creative skills to potential employers or fans with deep pockets and a love of interesting art.Īlthough garnering more profile views doesn't necessarily mean more accolades or paid work, marketing-savvy artists can use the site's many interactive networking features (and deviantART's embedded paid advertising links) to increase gallery traffic. Each day, site administrators post Daily Deviations, which are hand-selected works from artists who create unique works and who actively participate in the community. Of course, one of the biggest benefits of deviantART is that you become part of an online community that provides exposure for its members. You can also sell prints of your work through deviantART's online store, although the site does take a percentage of your earnings. You can apply journal skins to your blog to personalize its appearance, access your gallery's visitor statistics, participate in the beta testing of unreleased features, start polls and more. There are other benefits for paying members, too. You can add a Collections module that helps you organize work by projects, News, Polls, Webcams, Twitter, and Visitor modules, among others, thus tweaking the breadth and depth of information you share. Your profile is totally customizable thanks to oodles of so-called modules that you can swap in and out of your page. Those favorites appear in your personal profile so you can remember the artist and their work at a later date, and so other users can see what sort of art you prefer. When you're browsing artwork throughout the site, you can simply click and drag an image into your Favorites. You can watch other users, as well, and add particularly interesting works to your Favorites section. People who watch your work are listed in your Watchers list, and they'll receive updates each time you upload new work. Those who appreciate your talent may click +deviantWATCH, which is the deviantART equivalent of bookmarking a Web site in your browser. Anyone who browses your profile will immediately see these works. Your profile also features a Newest section that highlights the most recent pictures you've uploaded.
