deviantART

Has anyone visited deviantART yet? It's a community where artists around the world upload there work and share with others. As of February 2007 the site consists of over 4 million users and over 32 million submissions, and receives around 60,000 submissions per day. There is art that is actual paintings, pastels, acrylics and watercolors. Then there is photography, some manipulated with Adobe Photoshop and some not. There is allot of work done primarily in Photoshop, called Digital Art. There's also alot of FanArt, of TV Shows, Anime and Cartoons. If you are an artist and have some work you can upload it there after you sign up. Allot of users will add other users art to there 'favortites' and link them on their profile. Other users at deviantART can leave comments on the art that a user uploads. There is also something called 'deviantMobile', where you can upload art work to your mobile phone for the wallpaper; but I think you have to be a paying member to use this option. I was thinking of uploading some of my art I've held on to when I was really into it, or maybe some photography, but who knows. I think this is a great site if your an artist or not. Wikipedia: Due to the impractical nature of researching the copyright status of any art work reused in deviations, many copyright violations remain untouched until the violation has been proven. Administrative work regarding policy violations is often viewed as one-sided and unconcerned; this is because some users are not aware of the copyright policies, and claim to be falsely or mistakenly accused. This has led to many clashes between users and staff.

Recently, deviantART has given its users the option to submit their works under a creative commons license giving the artists the right to choose how their works can be used.

The site itself is unbiased towards or against any type of art, other than images which are graphically pornographic, violate copyright laws, or promote racism.

The following art I have here is embedded flash and once clicked on it will take you to the original site where the artist is hosting his/her work. Or you can click the link of the artists name and it will take you to their profile at deviantART.
