Introducing the Timeline of DeviantArt

We’re proud to introduce the DeviantArt Timeline, which will highlight the work we’ve accomplished in the past while laying the groundwork for what’s to come. Everything beyond present day on our Timeline acts as a roadmap for the future, welcoming deviants to follow progression and development toward future goals and promises.

Your Feedback

Thank you for the feedback on last week's Site Update! 

There were a variety of responses to the Discuss topic last week, and deviants offered a lot of insight into exploring creativity outside of creating. Some of the common responses included finding inspiration in dreams or daydreams, exploring nature to find new concepts or ideas, reading books or watching films to take in their stories, listening to music, or browsing art online to see what inspires other artists to create.

nosugarjustanger gave an insightful reply, saying that she is always in a general state of exploring creativity, and that she is inspired by people, and how they behave.

Sending Art in Notes

Do you send artwork to other people in Notes? If you do, what tends to be your primary reason for doing so? Do you send the Note to multiple people at once, when you do?
