History [edit]

Creation [edit]

DeviantArt started as a site connected with people who took figurer applications and modified them to their own tastes, or who posted the applications from the original designs. Every bit the site grew, members in general became known as artists and submissions as arts.[8] [nine] DeviantArt was originally launched on August seven, 2000, past Scott Jarkoff, Matt Stephens, Angelo Sotira and others, as part of a larger network of music-related websites chosen the Dmusic Network. The site flourished largely because of its unique offering and the contributions of its core fellow member base and a team of volunteers afterwards its launch,[10] but was officially incorporated in 2001 about eight months after launch.[11]

DeviantArt was loosely inspired by projects like Winamp facelift, customize.org, deskmod.com, screenphuck.com, and skinz.org, all application skin-based websites. Sotira entrusted all public aspects of the projection to Scott Jarkoff as an engineer and visionary to launch the early on plan. All three co-founders shared backgrounds in the application skinning customs, but information technology was Matt Stephens whose major contribution to DeviantArt was the suggestion to take the concept further than skinning and more than toward an art community. Many of the individuals involved with the initial development and promotion of DeviantArt still concord positions with the project. Angelo Sotira currently serves as the main executive officer of DeviantArt, Inc.[11] [12] [13]

On November 14, 2006, DeviantArt introduced the pick to submit their works under Artistic Commons licenses giving the artists the right to choose how their works tin exist used.[14] A Creative Eatables license is one of several public copyright licenses that allow the distribution of copyrighted works. On September 30, 2007, a picture category was added to DeviantArt, allowing artists to upload videos. An artist and other viewers can add annotations to sections of the motion-picture show, giving comments or critiques to the creative person virtually a particular moment in the motion-picture show.[15] In 2007, DeviantArt received $3.v million in Series A (first round) funding from undisclosed investors,[sixteen] and in 2013, it received $10 million in Series B funding.[ commendation needed ]

In 2011-2012 a user created a rumor about Hacker hacking into accounts removing watchers and posting 18+ photos and The hacker does vital region pictures around in the business relationship page and writes in users journals.

Mobile version [edit]

On December 4, 2014, the site unveiled a new logo and announced the release of an official mobile app on both iOS and Android,[17] released on Dec 10, 2014.[18]

On February 23, 2017, DeviantArt was acquired by Wix.com, Inc. for $36 million. The site plans to integrate DeviantArt and Wix functionality, including the ability to utilize DeviantArt resources on websites built with Wix, and integrating some of Wix'south design tools into the site.[xix]

As of March 1, 2017, Syria was banned from accessing DeviantArt'southward services entirely, citing United states of america and Israeli sanctions and aftermath on February 19, 2018. Afterward Syrian user Mythiril used a VPN to access the site and disclosed the geoblocking in a periodical, titled "The hypocrisy of deviantArt", DeviantArt ended the geoblocking except for commercial features.[20]

Since autumn of 2018, spambots have been hacking into an indeterminately big number of long-inactive accounts and placing spam Weblinks in their victims' Nigh sections (formerly known equally DeviantIDs), where users of the site brandish their public contour information. An ongoing investigation into this matter began in Jan 2019.[21]

Copyright and licensing issues [edit]

There is no review for potential copyright and Creative Commons licensing violations when a piece of work is submitted to DeviantArt, so potential violations tin remain unnoticed until reported to administrators using the mechanism available for such issues.[22] Some members of the community have been the victims of copyright infringement from vendors using artwork illegally on products and prints, as reported in 2007.[23] [24] The reporting system in which to annul copyright infringement directly on the site has been subject field to a plethora of criticism from members of the site, given that information technology may take weeks, or even a month before a filed complaint for copyright infringement is answered.

Contests for companies and academia [edit]

Due to the nature of DeviantArt as an art community with a worldwide accomplish, companies use DeviantArt to promote themselves and create more than advertising through contests. CoolClimate is a research network connected with the University of California, and they held a contest in 2012 to address the impact of climate change. Worldwide submissions were received, and the winner was featured in The Huffington Post.[25]

Diverse car companies have held contests. Dodge ran a contest in 2012 for art of the Dodge Dart and over 4,000 submissions were received.[26] Winners received greenbacks and item prizes, and were featured in a gallery at Dodge-Chrysler headquarters.[27] Lexus partnered with DeviantArt in 2013 to run a contest for greenbacks and other prizes based on their Lexus IS design; the winner'southward design became a modified Lexus IS and was showcased at the SEMA 2013 show in Los Angeles, California.[28]

DeviantArt also hosts contests for upcoming movies, such as Riddick. Fan art for Riddick was submitted, and director David Twohy chose the winners, who would receive cash prizes and some other DeviantArt-related prizes, as well as having their artwork fabricated into official fan-art posters for events.[29] [30] A similar contest was held for Nighttime Shadows where winners received greenbacks and other prizes.[31] [32]

Video games also behave contests with DeviantArt, such every bit the 2013 Tomb Raider contest. The winner had their art made into an official print sold internationally at the Tomb Raider shop and received cash and other prizes. Other winners also received cash and DeviantArt-related prizes.[33]

Website [edit]

The site has over 358 1000000 images which have been uploaded past its over 35 million registered members.[34] By July 2011, DeviantArt was the largest online art community.[35] Members of DeviantArt may get out comments and critiques on individual deviation pages,[36] [37] assuasive the site to be called "a [free] peer evaluation application".[38] Forth with textual critique, DeviantArt now offers the option to get out a small picture as a annotate.[39] This can be achieved using an option of DeviantArt Muro, which is a browser-based cartoon tool that DeviantArt has developed and hosts. However, just members of DeviantArt tin save their work as deviations. Another feature of Muro is what is called "Redraw"; it records the user as they depict their image, and then the user can post the entire process as a film deviation.[40] Some artists in late 2013 began experimenting with the use of breakfast cereal every bit the subject of their pieces, although this trend has only started spreading.[41]

Individual deviations are displayed on their own pages, with a list of statistical information about the epitome, too as a identify for comments by the artist and other members, and the option to share through other social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.).[42] Prior to Version 9, Deviations were required to be organized into categories when a member uploaded an paradigm and this allowed DeviantArt's search engine to find images concerning similar topics.[43]

Individual members tin can organize their ain deviations into folders on their personal pages.[38] The member pages (profiles) bear witness a fellow member's personally uploaded deviations and journal postings.[44] Journals are like personal blogs for the member pages, and the choice of topic is up to each member; some use it to talk about their personal or art-related lives, others use it to spread awareness or marshal support for a crusade.[45] Also displayed are a member's favorites, a collection of other users' images from DeviantArt that a member saves to its own folder.[46] Another thing establish on the profile page is a member's watchers; a member adds another member to their lookout listing in order to exist notified when that member uploads something.[45] The watcher notifications are gathered in a member's Bulletin Center with other notices, like when other users annotate on that member'south deviations, or when the member'due south epitome has been put in someone's favorites.[45]

Members can build groups that whatever registered member of the site can join. These groups are commonly based on an creative person'southward chosen medium and content. Some examples of these are Literature (verse, prose, etc.), Drawing (traditional, digital, or mixed-media), Photography (macro, nature, manner, stills), and many others. Within these groups are where they do collaborations and have their art featured and introduced to artists of the aforementioned kind.

DeviantArt does not allow pornographic, sexually explicit and/or obscene fabric to be submitted;[47] nonetheless, "tasteful" nudity is allowed, even as photographs.[48] To view mature artwork and content, members must exist at least eighteen years of age and to enable the content, they have to make an account.

In order to communicate on a more private level, Notes can be sent between individual members, like an e-mail within the site.[45] The other opportunities for communication between members are DeviantArt's forums, for more structured, long-term discussions, and conversation rooms, for group instant messaging.[49]
