Digital artist @ERA7 has found industry success over the years creating the cover images for a traditionally published book series, as well as 3D animation and more. Learn what inspires her, how she became a professional artist, and discover what tips, tricks, and advice she has for artists! An Interview with @ERA7 How would you describe your art style to someone who has never seen your art before? I would describe it as a mixture of digital oil painting with 3D technologies, photobashing, matte painting, and overpainting. I work in different styles from cartoonish-comic to realism. When did you first start making art, and what inspired you to do it? According to my parents, I created my first drawing when I was 3 and have continued nonstop. My main inspiration has always been to show people things that don't exist: fantastic worlds, technology, and characters. I was greatly impressed by cinema, especially Disney films from the '90s. I realized I wanted to create something similar

Adoptables launched as a beta feature in March, and in response to community feedback, the DeviantArt team has been working on improvements to make the feature more efficient. Two improvements have just been released, and you can try them out now!

Now when you list an adoptable with the “accept offers” option, you can still set 24 or 48 hours as the sale duration period, but you can also choose between two settings to determine when that period starts: The sale duration starts immediately after you list the adoptable for sale, or The sale duration starts after the first offer is placed.

To add to the fun of the beta launch of Adoptables, DeviantArt is hosting a party for custom creations, and you’re invited to the colorful celebration!
