deviantArt - 'The' art community

If you want art, then you want deviantArt .... thats all I can say.

If you've not been to deviantArt you've missed out on something really big. Yep and I'm not one bit exagerrating here.

Home to more than 38,461,753 deviations (Deviations are art that deviants submit and deviants are you and me) and increasing every second. Okay, its already become 38,461,805 in the time it took to type this.

So there you have it "the largest art community in the world!" growing every second.
There are a total of 16 categories, each having it's own set of sub-categories. Categories range from Traditional Art to Digital Art to Literature to Manga/Anime. Just name it and you will find it here.

Once you register, you get your own free gallery at yourname.deviantart.com. Then "you can collect favourites, submit art, and track your friends and favourite artists."

It doesn't end here. You can buy prints of the art here. Yes, if you like something you can get it printed and delivered right to your doorstep. Cool isn't it.

Still not over. Then there's the dAmn, the deviantArt messaging network, where you can chat with other deviants chat, set up your own chat rooms etc.etc.

The News section tells you whats going on in the deviantArt universe.

dA also has it's very own forum where you can ask questions and get answers to anyhting ... and its not only limited to art. There are sections here dedicated to Operating Systems, not something you would have expected on an art related site. If that was too much then heres more. It also has a section on Hardware, something thats really important for digital artists who are into some really high end rendering business. Theres also a section on Programming with the lastest post by samusfairchild requiring some help on PHP/My SQL. If you are looking out for a freelance job then head to the dA Forums.

So there it is deviantArt. Everything that we art people needed.

I normally post screen shotsof sites. But this you need to see with your own eyes. Click to go to deviantArt.
