Hey everyone! 'Tis Microfloof again. I don't think I've seen a thread about deviantART, so here it is. This doesn't only have to be about deviantART, it could be about anything arty, like videos, comics, images, drawing programs, and all that malarky. Have fun here, and respect other peoples opinions. I hope to have this thread going for a long time, so let's try to do just that! Please explain your view clearly so that people understand you properly - you need to get your point across!
deviantART
deviantART is a nice community where you can share your art and literacy. You can edit your devious profile, add your icons, avatars, and even create stuff for people to use, like linearts and free art. You can sell your art for real money or deviant points, which you can use to upgrade your account to premium, which gives you access to even more features like a more creative profile and critiques. You can chat with people and take part in the forums too.
deviantART also comes with a built-in drawing and sketching program called dA-Muro. It's online, so you don't have to download it, but you may need to have certain Adobe or Flash Players. You can have access to different tools which can make your drawings more attractive. You may need to buy certain brushes with devious points, but they can be cheap. It's well worth it though!
Now, it's a great place to post your art if you can handle copyright. Linearts will always need to copyrighted, and if you don't follow the deviant's rules there will be consequences - whether that be reporting, blocking, or you having to remove it entirely from your gallery. It is recommended to put unremovable copyright on all your art and setting the ''Do not display for public download'' option when uploading. People will always find a way for art theft, but mostly the people are immature and lazy, so they are less likely to steal stuff. You can prove if it is stolen or note by checking out the date the art was posted.
--- Dunno what else to say. Any suggestions? ---
WILL UPDATE THE REST LATER. Please be patient! Post about the above for now.
What do you think about deviantART or anything arty in particular? Is it good, and do you like it?
