At least mine. I’ve registered on DeviantArt years ago but did not use my account too often. I had a look a few times during the years and enjoyed the nice works on it but did not get involved.
A few days ago somehow I ended up there again and I realized that the community is still brilliant, lot of artist, designer and like minded people sharing their thoughts works opinions and helping inspiring each other. Discovered that for a few quid (£4.01/around $7) I can get rid of the ads on my profile and also get access to 8 years deviations and filter them, sort them etc.
I uploaded a few works of mine and in a few minutes received a handful of nice and inspiring comments (and learned that should not try to sell my college work Hello Fitty cereal design in Sweden). Becoming a beta tester also allows me to try the new options on the site such as the new Portfolio section (haven’t tried it yet).
DeviantART is the most exciting art and design community I’ve found so far. With interesting members and rapidly growing database of artworks (59,810,467 at the moment) it is a great source of inspiration. As you probably already discovered I also managed to link my Deviant gallery to the blog, so my works appear on the main page.
DeviantART is definitely not going to replace a static portfolio website but it is a great place to be present and make great friends and get useful advises. I can only recommend it.
