In our continuous effort to improve the deviantART experience, we're publishing weekly Site Updates to keep members informed and to gather feedback. Below is a list of recent changes to the site, bug fixes, and feedback that was brought up by members in the last Site Update.

What's New


Resolved Film Submission Issue


Recently, we encountered a bug with Film deviation submission that has since been fixed. However, some Film deviations uploaded between May 27th and June 3rd may need to be re-submitted, due to this bug. Our apologies for any inconvenience.


Change Log

Your Feedback


Thank you for the feedback on last week's Site Update! Here's some of the feedback you left for us last week.
  • An abundance of feedback was left in response to last week's Discuss topic, with a wide variety of ideas and suggestions on how to better welcome new deviants to the site!
  • The most common point of feedback was to have an easy to find area where new deviants are featured and can be reached out to. There is currently a New Deviants section on the Today page, but some responses argued that it should be in an easier to see place.
  • Some deviants mentioned that an official welcome message or interactive walkthrough would help familiarize new deviants with the site and help integrate them into the community.
  • DoktorrSketchy and several others suggested that familiar, active community members could volunteer to be notified from time to time about new deviants, to welcome them and interact with them. 
  • In a similar vein, A-Seabass suggested a "Visit New Deviant" button.
  • Another common suggestion was a place to view art created by new deviants.

Forming Relationships on deviantART

What types of relationships (friendship, romantic, or business) have you formed through deviantART? How did you meet your closest deviantART friends? Do you create art in the same style or medium as these individuals, or do you create in a medium different from them?

To be honest, pretty much all of my friends/close relationships on dA were formed in person, through one of those friends, or through one of the friends I met through a friend I become friends with in person. Wow, that was probably a bit confusing. For those who don't get it: I meet someone, and we become friends, then we become friends on here. Then, that friend introduces me to one of their friends, and we become friends on here. Then THEY introduce me to a friend, and ANOTHER friendship forms. That's how I make pretty much all of my close relationships on here.
