NEW: Sell physical goods with Arts and Crafts
Arts and Crafts as a medium have long had a home on DeviantArt, but starting now, handmade wares can move beyond the deviation page and into buyers' hands.
Introducing Arts & Crafts, a way to sell physical art and handmade goods directly on the platform. Creators can set up product listings, add shipping profiles, manage order requests, and confirm shipping with tracking information, all in one native flow.
This is the first version with improvements to come. Give it a try, and if you have ideas on which features to add next, let us know in our feedback form!
Your buyers are already here
Fans and watchers on DeviantArt already support your work in digital form. Now they don't have to go offsite to purchase physical versions of the work they love!

Set up your listing in minutes
Setting up an Arts & Crafts listing is simple and straightforward. Add product images, set your price, include optional add-ons, and write buyer questions to collect the details you need
Exclusives now more collectible and easy to buy by Team, journal
Exclusives now more collectible and easy to buy
Your Shop just got a refresh. Exclusive thumbnails now use a taller, trading card-inspired design that puts more focus on your character art, making each piece more eye-catching and worth snagging while it’s available.
You’ll also notice clearer buttons on each thumbnail, making it easier to see which Exclusives are available and purchase them directly from your Shop.
This update is rolling out across desktop and mobile in the coming weeks, so if you don't see it yet, you will soon!
[DEVIATION]
Another exciting update is coming soon: bulk buy. Collect up to 10 Exclusives at once and purchase them in one smooth checkout flow, making it faster and easier to build your collection.

Share your feedback on Messages
It's been four months since Messages launched, and we've been keeping a close eye on community feedback, from the things you're enjoying to what you'd like to see next.
There's still a lot more we'd love to do with Messages that didn't make it into the first version. So we want to hear from you!
Messages will be getting some improvements soon, and your feedback will help shape what gets worked on first.
Some possible features are:
The ability to pin messages
Larger numbers of participants in group chats
To assign moderators in group chats and channels
Shareable invite links to join channels
Subscriber-only channels tied to a Subscription tier
Which of those would you use most? What else would you like to see added, improved, or changed?
Leave your thoughts in the comments. And if someone shares an idea you’d love to see, like their comment to help us spot the popular requests.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on where Messages should go next!
You've always been able to disable comments on your deviations, and now you can do the same for journals and status updates!
To disable or enable comments, head to your Studio and edit in bulk or one at a time by selecting the post, clicking Edit > Commenting and then selecting "Allow comments" or "Disable comments."

Discussion is moving to the Forum by Team, journal
Discussion is moving to the Forum
We've been thinking about how to make space for in-depth community discussion for a long time. We’ve spoken with many deviants to understand what matters to you in community conversations and what format would work best, and also about what you think could be handled better.
We’re excited to announce that starting now, feature announcements and updates will move community discussion from comments to dedicated Forum threads.
[DEVIATION]
Our longtime DeviantArt Forum has been developed over many years specifically for community discussion, allowing for:
Better navigation of topics
More on-topic conversations
Organized feedback
[DEVIATION]
Feature announcements and updates will have dedicated Forum threads where deviants can come to discuss, share feedback, and ideas. As always, DeviantArt staff will be on hand to help answer questions and join in the discussion too.
Some community activities (tutorials, art contests) will still utilize the comments to enable sharing of art

Going global: Say hola to DeviantArt in Spanish! by Team, journal
Going global: Say hola to DeviantArt in Spanish!
DeviantArt has always been a global community, shaped by artists worldwide. For years, deviants have asked for more ways to experience the platform in their native language.
Today, we’re introducing the first supported language: español, making it easier than ever for Spanish-speaking creators to explore and participate in the community. ¡Bienvenido!
How to switch your language
Navigate to your Profile dropdown in the top-right navigation bar.
Click Language.
Select your preferred language and click Confirm.
[DEVIATION]
We’re excited to bring Spanish localization to many areas across DeviantArt. While not everything is translated just yet, more will be added over time. Note that user-submitted content, such as deviations or comments, will remain in their original language.
More languages will be coming in the future. Which one would you like to see next? Share in the comments below!

Make your Arts and Crafts listing stand out by Team, journal
Make your Arts and Crafts listing stand out
The difference between a listing that converts into a sale and one that gets passed over is usually in the details. Here's what makes an Arts & Crafts listing clear, trustworthy, and nearly impossible for buyers to pass up.
[DEVIATION]
Your listing is your first impression ✨
Buyers make fast decisions. Your listing needs to answer their questions before they think to ask them: what is it, what's it made of, what will I actually receive?
Write a clear, specific title
Upload a cover image that shows the item clearly
Include extra photos for additional angles or to highlight details
Describe materials, dimensions, and everything that's included
The more complete your listing, the more confident your buyer.
Pricing, tags, and shipping expectations
The practical side of your listing matters just as much as the visuals.
Set pricing that reflects your materials, time, and shipping costs
Choose tags that help the right buyers find your work
Be upfront about processing time and

Misfortune's Sons: Chapter 1
[This is a romance story with some mentions of substance abuse and homophobia.]
I should know that my day is about to take a turn for the worse when I spot my ex from Sixth Form in the produce section of the supermarket where I work. It’s as if an unwelcome ghost from my past is paying me a visit; thirteen years after we broke up and I still recognise her instantly. She’s tall and elegantly lean, with curly red hair that falls past her shoulders. She’s still as fashionably dressed as she’d always been in our teenage years.
I wonder where her life had taken her that she would be buying strawberries at an upscale supermarket at ten in the morning, but I don’t dare approach her. Instead, I disappear into the stock room of the store until I am quite sure that she has left. I would be mortified if she saw me and asked me how my own life is going. When we broke up after going to separate universities, I was beginning a programme in nuclear engineering at my country’s premier
