Deviant ID feature 3You choose your ID picture to display on your front page right next to your nickname, interests, your bio and all the info that is all about you. It's quite obvious then that the ID itself is - in most cases - all about you as well. Let's take a peek at some really neat ones; and since an ID picture is an essence of one's style and personality, perhaps you'll find new galleries to watch? Here is the last feature from this mini serie - but who knows, perhaps I'll make some more later.Under the Sea by ~CherryshMeThe GreenWoman by ~sphinxmuse

Interview with emoticonist :devSynfull:!:iconArtHistoryProject:March is dedicated to the Customization Gallery here in #ArtHistoryProject! I had the chance to meet and interview great emoticonists of our community!Today, we will be interviewing `Synfull, a well known artist! (This was supposed to be posted on Saturday, but I had connection problems, sorry for the incovenience. Also, I am sorry but my Membership ended and I can't use the group's skin).Hello and welcome to this interview `Synfull! Introduce us yourself.Hey everyone. My name is Karen though I'm also known as 'Syn' around the community. I've been a member of deviantART for 7 years now and have been an emoticonist for around 4-5 years.

Photography Troubleshooting: The Watermark FAQ"How do I protect my photography and art in general?"~=Eitvys200 "As =Eitvys200 pointed out, at least 1 journal per month makes it to the top of the list and is about stealing art. Sometimes this is something small such as posting a piece to facebook, other times you see hoards of pieces on a website selling wallpapers or something similar. Regardless of how it happens, or where, it can hurt just as much to see your hard work disregarded and especially someone else profiting or taking credit.Protecting work is a huge deal for some people, and not for others. It depends entirely on your outlook - how you view your work and indeed whether or not there needs to be some constrictions on it due to the content being a child, or family member. But how do we protect our work properly from art theft and wrongful use? The simple answer is you can't provide for every eventuality. Even if you upload your work to a website where right click -> copy is disabled,

I'm a pretentious 17 year old pseudo-artist who doesn't do much except for the occasional web design, and I write plenty (hence :#WriteRoom.2) When did you first discover dAmn, and can you remember the first room you ever chatted in?About a week after joining dA I found dAmn. The first room I joined was :#devArt:, but there were too many people and I knew none of them, so it didn't feel like the right place to be. It wasn't a very exciting first time.3) What prompted you to create :#WriteRoom Did you feel dAmn was missing a room on a specific topic? Did you think other roo
