DeviantArt DeviantArt Screenshot of DeviantArt’s homepage URL www.deviantart.com Slogan deviantArt: where Art meets application! Commercial? Yes Type of site Artist community Registration Optional Owner DeviantArt, LLC. Created by Angelo Sotira, Scott Jarkoff, and Matthew Stephens Launched August 7, 2000 Current status Active DeviantArt (official typeset as devi- antART[1]; commonly abbreviated as dA) is an American virtual online community art showcasing website. It was first launched on August 7, 2000 by Scott Jarkoff, Matthew Stephens and Angelo Sotira, amongst others. DeviantArt, Inc. is headquartered on Holly- wood Boulevard in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, California, United States.[2] As of May 2009 the site consists of over 10 million members, over 81 million submissions, and receives around 105,000 submissions per day.[3] The domain deviantart.com attracted at least 36 million visitors annually by 2008 according to a Compete.com study.[4] DeviantArt aims to provide a place for any artist to exhibit and discuss works. Works are organized in a comprehensive category struc- ture, including photography, digital art, tradi- tional art, literature, Flash, filmmaking, and skins for applications, among others, along with extensive downloadable resources such as tutorials and stock photography. "Fella," a small, robotic, cat character, is the official DeviantArt mascot. Origins DeviantArt was originally launched in August 2000 by Scott Jarkoff, Matt Stephens and An- gelo Sotira, as part of a larger network of music-related websites called the Dmusic Network. The site flourished largely because of its unique offering and the contributions of its core member base and a team of volun- teers after its launch,[5] but was officially in- corporated in 2001 about 8 months after launch. DeviantArt was loosely inspired by pro- jects like Winamp facelift, customize.org, deskmod.com, screenphuck.com, and skinz.org, all application skin-based websites. Sotira entrusted all public aspects of the pro- ject to Scott Jarkoff as an engineer and vis- ionary to launch the early program. All three co-founders shared backgrounds in the ap- plication skinning community, but it was Matt Stephens whose major contribution to DeviantArt was the suggestion to take the concept further than skinning and more to- ward an "art community." Many of the indi- viduals involved with the initial development and promotion of DeviantArt still hold posi- tions with the project, from administrators to volunteers serving as gallery directors and Message Network Administration. Angelo Sotira currently serves as the CEO of Devi- antArt, Inc.[6] From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia DeviantArt 1 Terminology The following terms are used throughout the site: dA A common abbreviation for the site’s name (also known less commonly as "devArt" or even "dArt") dArama A colloquial term used by users to refer to public feuds relating to deviantArt, or against DeviantArt users. This is not commonly used. Deviant A user of DeviantArt Deviation A piece of artwork submitted by a user, fully polished and in a state for exhibition Print A piece of artwork available for purchase Scrap An unfinished work, not exhibited prominently +fav or fave short for "favourite" +devWATCH term used when "watching" someone (adding to friends list) dAmn The DeviantArt Messaging Network[7] Notes Private messages between users Pasties User generated HTML code that can be added to a user’s website or blog to display recent updates, favourites, or prints[8] Daily Deviation (DD) A submission deemed by a staff member to be impressive or otherwise interesting enough be brought to the attention of the community-at-large; it is considered to be a great honor within the community despite the staff’s insistence that it is not an award. It is commonly known as a "DD"[9] and the first use of the Daily Deviation feature was on August 15, 2000. Features User pages Every user has a personal page at the URL http://username.deviantArt.com, where user- name is replaced by her/his username. This page may list the user’s interests, mood, hob- bies and so forth. It also exhibits the devi- ant’s four most recent works (although devi- ants who have paid for a subscription may change this number to as few as two to as many as ten) and his or her ’favourites’. Deviants may also select and display their most prized work as a ’Featured Devi- ation’.[10] This shows a deviation that the user really likes, or can be one of their own deviations that they want to show to the people viewing the user’s page. Each deviant can edit their own public journal.[11][12] The journal is similar to a blog in that a deviant may write an entry and it will be displayed on their user page. Journals are very useful for expressing the thoughts of a user, or the soon to occur events that would affect his/her watchers. Another feature of the User page is the commentary that may be supplied by the user or other members. This allows for thanks, public hellos, and so forth. Gallery As of November 2007, users have the option to create folders. These folders allow deviant art users to customize their gallery. The folders can consist of deviations from various categories or different styles. These folders are used to make various deviations more ac- cessible.[13] Favourites Any user may add another user’s deviation to their favourites.[14] This will place the devi- ation on that user’s favourites on their per- sonal page where the user can view it at any time. Other users can view anyone’s favour- ites also giving the original artist extra ex- posure. Folders can be made in the favourites section, where the user can name the folder and put deviations in it, organizing their fa- vourites. Also, if owner of a deviation wants to see a complete list of the people who fa- vourited the deviation, they can go to the From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia DeviantArt 2 deviation page, click a link, and see a com- plete list of users who favourited the devi- ation.[15] Collections A recently added feature ("Collection") allows deviations to be instantly added by clicking and dragging it, which will bring up the folders, which the user can drop the devi- ation into. By doing this "drag-and-drop", users will automatically have it as one of their favourites. Users may choose to display the most recent two-four favourites, or ran- domly display two-four of their selected fa- vourites on their userpage, among other kinds of custom additions, including adding comments to/about the Collection itself. [16] As a side addition to the Collections, there is a site that allows deviants to view others’ Collections via a link in the main toolbar.[17] DeviantWatch Users can add any user to a watchlist called DeviantWatch (unless the watcher has been blocked by the user selected to be watched). Doing so will cause the watcher to be notified every time anyone on their watch list submits a new piece of art, submits a new journal entry, submits a News article, or, more re- cently, submits critique on a deviation; one can also select to be notified of the submis- sion of scraps. These notifications may be toggled in the ’Friends List’, where deviants are also allowed to group or remove watched deviants, along with whether or not they class the watched user a friend. Those selec- ted as "friends" are shown in a small box on the watcher’s userpage.[18] Message Centre When a user is watching a deviant, has sub- mitted a work, or is participating in a note, a link is provided on the bar which is support- ing the user’s name, logout button, and col- lect option. It will distincly give a number fol- lowed by either "deviation/s," "message/s," or "note/s." By pressing the link with "deviation," the user is brought to a page which lists all new deviations of those they are watching. This is one of the three parts of what is known as the "message centre." Once there, the user may press the title of a work, view it, comment or favorite, and return to the message centre to mark work as "read." Also on that page are the options "Delete all..." and "Select all." After finishing up on the new deviation page, the user may either hit one of the tabs near the top of the page or hit the link provided on the previously mentioned bar. There are then only two other options: mes- sage/s or note/s. If the new message/s link/ tab is selected, a list of comments, journals, polls, and news submissions is provided. The list of comments show members’ comments on the user’s works, user page, or journals, or replies to the user’s comments on someone else’s journal, work, or user page. By pressing the link marked by the word "comment" followed by a number sign and a series of numbers, the user will be directly taken to the comment. After replying to the comment, the mention of it is instantly re- moved from the user’s message centre. By hitting the title of a journal, the user is taken to the journal to read and comment. However, much unlike the comment section, once the journal is read or commented upon, the user must go to the message centre and remove it by hand. By this process of deletion by hand, any unwanted comments, journals, polls, and news article links can be removed instantly. A final feature of this comment tab is the box at the very bottom of the page that provides a link to any new notes that the user has received. Though it is possible to simply select the note tab or the note link in the box towards the top of the page, this extra feature allows to user to know immediately who sent the note and what the subject of it is. If it is un- desirable to access the note at that particular moment, it may be ignored or removed from the message centre. The problem is that this will not permanently delete the note. It will still reside in the user’s note section. The user must access this section to remove it or organize it into a file. The creation of files in the note section is a special feature that would allow a system of organization in the user’s inbox.[19] As of May 1, 2009, message limits have been imposed in the message centre. If the message is over a year old, it will be deleted. To prevent this, the message can be saved in a folder that will stay in there forever or until the user deletes the message or the folder it- self. The maximum number of messages a folder can have is 10,000. This limit applies to both the folders in the inbox as well as the From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia DeviantArt 3 custom folders part of the message centre. By saving a message to a folder, this will al- low the user to organize based on their own personal preference. [20] News articles Users can write news articles to report about contests, events, interesting news, external links, or even just a collection of artwork they want to display. DeviantArt makes a strict point about what is or is not news, and what should be left in user’s personal journal.[21] When a deviant posts a news article, his or her "watchers" receive a notification in their Message Centre. Administrators post official news articles through this system as well, and they are sometimes delivered to the whole community’s Message Centre. Forums DeviantArt has a series of forums. Some are more generalized, such as the Deviants for- um, which is for general discussions that do not fit into any of the other forums. Some for- ums, like the DeviantArt Status Forum, re- strict posting by anybody other than an ad- ministrator. There are also specific forums, such as the Beta Tester Feedback Forum and the ThumbShare Forum (for sharing thumb- nails of artwork). AdCast There is also an AdCast program, for advert- ising art and community-related products/ pages at a discounted rate.[22] Subscription DeviantArt offers a subscription based ser- vice with extra features and privileges.[23] Subscribed Deviant features include the ability to browse the site with no advertise- ments, greater customization of a user’s per- sonal page, including the ability to upload the user’s own Cascading Style Sheets for use in their journal. deviantMOBILE is a feature that allows most deviations to be downloaded onto one’s mobile phone, though this won’t work on all phones or all carriers. There are private forums and a beta testing feature for those with subscriptions. The ability to search artwork on the site with up to 120 im- ages per page is also enabled.[23] A subscriber "portfolio page" service is currently in development, with the competition for the creation of the portfolio page template already over. The portfolio page is intended to provide artists with a dis- play page that appears more professional than the standard gallery. Users may use this to show potential employers their art- work.[23] Subscriptions can be purchased in three month and one year lengths. However, some members, predominantly the staff and former staff, attain a subscription that continues " ’til Hell Freezes Over!!", meaning that their subscription never ends. Critique The "Critique" feature is the newest feature added to DeviantArt. It allows any subscriber to create and/or give critiques, or reviews, about a deviation. It uses the 5-star rating, in increments of half-stars, along with a typed review on how the deviation was presented, based on "vision," "originality," "technique," "impact," and "deviousness" (the average sum of the previous four ratings).[24] It also gives a separate message response area (also subscribers-only) from the deviation page. It’s designed for "considered, thoughtful and RESPECTFUL criticism"[24]. Although this feature can mainly be used by subscribers, everyone can view these sub- mitted critiques or the deviations themselves. It has its own separate web pages that allows anyone to see the newest deviations that have the Critique feature enabled,[25] or the newest given critiques.[26] DeviantArt Shop File:DeviantArt shop.png Using DeviantArt Shop, users can sell their artwork for a profit. This feature was originally DeviantArt Prints. Users who have bought a prints account for an annual fee of $24.95 USD (originally it was a one-time fee) may sell their work, prin- ted onto a variety of media such as mugs, jig- saw puzzles, canvases, calendars, mouse pads, coasters, postcards, and magnets. Users earn 50% of the profits above a pre-set "base cost."[27] For example, the base price for a 4x6 inch print is $0.32. If a user sells it for $2.00, he would get $0.84. A user who does not have a standard prints account would get $0.32, the pre-set price for 4x6s. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia DeviantArt 4 Prints II, the newest remake of the sys- tem, will be launched in stages, the first hav- ing already taken place in November 2006. New features include a basic print account for all members (paying print account owners with added features), new products available such as T-Shirts, and an annual fee instead of the original one-time fee.[28] DeviantArt Messaging Network (dAmn!) The DeviantArt Messaging Network (or "dAmn!") is the real-time chat system imple- mented on DeviantArt version 4 on August 7, 2004.[29] Through dAmn, users can join one of many existing channels and also create their own. It is based on a proprietary pro- tocol and chat server application, much like Internet Relay Chat, and is not compatible with other chat systems. The client end is either a Flash or Java application, or Mozilla extension for server communication, coupled with a JavaScript backend to handle the messages. Only hours after the release dAmn, the protocol had been reverse engineered and publicized. The same night, a first working Perl client was made available.[30] Today users have a choice of clients for various op- erating systems, written in different lan- guages, and with more or improved features over the official client. The official client, while flash/java based, has limited cross- browser support. Very few Opera users, for example, report any success in using it. Fire- fox is seemingly the most compatible browser for viewing the site. Chat rooms on dAmn are referred to with a number sign before their name. Some chan- nels host events and have live interviews with artists. There are official chat rooms on the DeviantArt messaging network, some of which include #devart and #help. "#devart" is the name of the official channel of the site, and as a direct result tends to contain the greatest user volume. The number of chan- nels has increased significantly since then. #help is the official DeviantArt assistance channel. It is meant to act as an instant form of DeviantArt’s Help Desk, providing users with various forms of site-related aid instead of using email. #help is known for being op- erated by volunteers from the site itself.[7] RSS feeds and Pasties DeviantArt is becoming more integrable with blogs through the use of RSS feeds and "Pasties". These features allow a user to post content on their blog(s) that will update as they submit new deviations to DeviantArt. Pasties can be modified to show a user’s fa- vourites, recent submissions, a particular cat- egory of artwork, and more. RSS also allows anyone to subscribe to gallery feeds so they can be notified when their favorite artists submit new deviations. RSS used by Devi- antArt implements Media RSS specification which allows easier syndication of media con- tent. [8] SitBack A new feature on DeviantArt is a slide-show application called SitBack. Launched as a public alpha on November 5, 2008, the new feature allows DeviantArt users to view pic- tures on a pop-up slide-show player by click- ing on a projector screen button within browse and search pages, the collections page, the channels page, footer channels, the Daily Deviations page, and deviants’ galler- ies, favourites and collections. SitBack also features crossfade transitions, panning ef- fects, keyboard shortcuts, and URL sharing. It currently does not display films, Flash an- imations, literature, and DeviantWatch feeds.[31] Growth On November 14, 2006, DeviantArt gave its users the option to submit their works under Creative Commons licenses giving the artists the right to choose how their works can be used.[32] On September 30, 2007, a film category was added to DeviantArt, allowing artists to upload videos. An artist and other viewers can add annotations to sections of the film, giving comments or critiques to the artist about a particular moment in the film.[33] Versions DeviantArt has been revising the site in ver- sions, releasing multiple features at once. After version 2, versions were released on the date of site’s birthday, August 7, exclud- ing Version 6. Version 2, released on February 5, 2002. In version 2, browsing was made easier.[34] From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia DeviantArt 5 Version 3, released on August 7, 2003.[35] Version 4, released on August 7, 2004. In version 4, the chat client called dAmn was added to the site.[29] Version 5 was released on August 7, 2006.[36] In version 5, each deviant has a Prints account, through which they may sell prints of their works for money, receiving 20% of the profits. Users can also obtain Premium Prints Account offering 50% of the profits and an immediate check of material submitted for sales. Before version 5 of Devi- antArt, users did not have by default access to this service and it had to be obtained sep- arately. By paying for a subscription, a devi- ant could also sell their work for 50% of each sale. Version 6, released on July 10, 2008. In this revision, the message center, front page and footer were revamped. Users are now able to customize the deviantArt navigation toolbar. The design style of the site was slightly modified as well.[37] This list is incomplete; you can help by ex- panding it. User symbols All "deviants" of DeviantArt are referred to by their given username, which is preceded by a user symbol (very rarely deviants can have no symbol at all). The symbols are listed below. (Note that some of the symbols listed below are no longer in use.)[38] DeviantArt Summit The Hollywood Palladium while hosting the first annual DeviantArt Summit. On June 17 and June 18, 2005, DeviantArt held their first convention, the DeviantArt Summit, at the Palladium in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, California, United States. The summit consisted of several ex- hibitions by numerous artists, including arts- cene groups old and new at about 200 differ- ent booths. Giant projection screens dis- played artwork as it was being submitted live to DeviantArt, which receives 50,000 new im- ages daily.[3] The summit also hosted various art-related workshops and seminars.[40] Leaders of DeviantArt had hoped to hold a new summit each year; however, no plans were ever made for a 2006 Summit. This may be due to lack of interest, money, or inability to find a location. It should be noted that des- pite a big turn out, only a tiny percentage of the DeviantArt population actually attended the summit. Criticism Copyright and licensing issues There is no review of potential copyright and Creative Commons licensing violations when a work is submitted to DeviantArt, so such vi- olations can remain unnoticed until reported. A mechanism for notifying administrators of potential copyright and licensing violations is available.[41] Members of the community have also been the victims of this type of ab- use from disreputable vendors using artwork illegally on products and prints.[42] Termination of Scott Jarkoff On July 29, 2005, co-founder Scott Jarkoff was removed from the DeviantArt staff, an- gering members of the community.[43][44] De- viantArt staff have portrayed his termination as necessary, but this assertion was re- futed.[43] With Matthew Stephens’ resigna- tion in 2003, supporters of Scott Jarkoff as- sert that now neither of the founders remain in DeviantArt’s administration. In contrast, Sotira insists he was a founder, and also the first full time working staff member of the DeviantArt administration. The DeviantArt administration has been generally tight- lipped throughout the incident, due to legal restraints.[43] Various campaigns have sprung up in sup- port of Scott Jarkoff, including the "Bring Back the Community" campaign, "Save the From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia DeviantArt 6 Symbol Type of User Description ~ Member A registered user * Subscriber A user who has paid for a subscription = Official Beta Tester A subscriber who participates in the beta testing program ` Senior Member A member recognized by staff as a positive contributor to the Devi- antArt community. Senior membership may be revoked, reassigning the member to a normal member or subscriber. Also, former staff typically retain senior membership. ° Alumni Staff Former Core Staff member # Group An art group or club in DeviantArt, with #hq being the first to use it. The "#" symbol also refers to a channel (chatroom) in the Devi- antArt Messaging Network. @ Message Net- work Administrator Administrators of the DeviantArt Message Network (dAmn), forums, and the "shoutbox". ¢ Creative Staff Responsible for creation of artistic assets for the site; some users are considered consultants. ^ Gallery Moderator Volunteer staff members responsible for overseeing a particular sub-gallery or category of DeviantArt (e.g. photography, fan art, anime); have the privilege of selecting the Daily Deviation awards for their category; must ensure that uploaded images are classified correctly. $ Core Administrator Employees of DeviantArt, responsibilities include but are not limited to IT development, Volunteer staff management, help desk support and/or policy violation administration. ! Banned or Closed Account Either the account has been banned for more than a month (bans under one month in length are called ’suspensions’ and do not affect the user symbol); user page is replaced by a ban notice. Banned users can log in and read their messages. They cannot submit art, write journals, or add favourites while banned. Banned members are usually no longer members of Deviant Art. The following symbols are no longer used and replaced with a $: © Copyright & Etiquette Ad- ministration Staff Responsible for banning users, removing art, and handling policy and etiquette cases. % DeviantArt Prints Team Originally responsible for prints and other shop specific duties, in- cluding quality control. + General Staff Used for various positions, which originally included News Adminis- trator and some programming/coding staff. The following symbols were used as an April Fool’s joke: £ "Minister" of DeviantArt The dAPresents, EmoticonHQ, scuzzleplz, prints-products, and devi- antWEAR accounts are the only current Ministers. This symbol was introduced as part of the 2004 April Fools’ Day joke, which claimed that British staff members took over DeviantArt, resulting many Non-British staff members bearing a "Banned Member" symbol next to their name, while British staff members received the £ symbol.[39] From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia DeviantArt 7 ? a snow man that was used for April Fool’s A symbol replacing all official beta tester symbols on April 1st, 2009. Alien", and "Yellow Day" (because Jarkoff was known as the "yellow alien"; Jarkoff’s mascot) which was carried out by many of Scott Jarkoff’s supporters.[45] On July 31, 2005, Sotira posted an official response to explain the situation.[43] The re- sponse to this entry was mixed. Jarkoff also posted an explanation on his personal web- site.[44] On October 7, 2007, Jarkoff wrote a journ- al in which he complained about his video getting deleted due to a copyright viola- tion.[46] On October 13, 2007, Sotira respon- ded,[47] claiming that Jarkoff lied about his role in DeviantArt’s development, that Jarkoff did nothing on the site in the beginning, and that he was the one who fired Matthew Stephens in 2003. He accuses Jarkoff of hy- pocrisy by saying that Jarkoff still owns shares of DeviantArt stock. Jarkoff claimed he needed money to sue Sotira for wrongful termination, and even went so far as to set up a fund for it, but Sotira claims that in real- ity, he had more than enough money to cover any legal costs for any lawsuits. Sotira im- plies that Jarkoff defrauded people through his legal fund and that he fired Jarkoff in the first place because he didn’t do a sufficient job as chief software engineer.[48] See also • Worth1000 • WinCustomize • Elfwood • Gfxartist • Pixiv References [1] "DeviantArt: Terms of Service". http://about.deviantArt.com/policy/ service/.
