Follow @team for more content from artists you love! Our weekly interviews aim to feature all kinds of artists on all points of their journey, and today we're featuring new Deviant @mercuryferns whose gorgeous paintings caught our eye and we just had to learn more about them! And don't forget, we will also be featuring their answers on our official Facebook page. How long have you been making digital art? What inspired you to start? I technically did my first piece of digital art on the notes app when I was about twelve or thirteen. In fact, I still have it. There were- and still are- a few minor limitations to my ability to create digital art. I think it's the fact that I cannot use a stylus or apple pencil, but in recent years I’ve become so used to finger painting that I struggle to view digital art in any other (and more elegant) way. My main inspiration came from artists like DeviantArt’s own @DestinyBlue, whose work I would study relentlessly. Other people like the now

In recognition of exemplary membership and an outstanding spirit of helpfulness and mentoring within the DeviantArt community, November 2022's Deviousness award recipient is: @kvacm For over a decade, @kvacm has invited us into his magnificent imagination through his diverse and fantastical body of work. Vibrant colours, other-worldly landscapes, and striking concepts, keep us coming back for more. Never settling, @kvacm is always striving to improve, valuing community feedback and providing it, in return. As supportive as he is talented, it is our pleasure to award Deviousness for November 2022 to @kvacm. Hello, I'm @kvacm, but you can call me Michal. I live in Brno, Czechia, and my creations are based on my learning and experience. My love of art started with following concept artists over the globe, who create the groundwork for modern movies and video games. That every shape we make is like a prompt in the scene (of course it's not that simple) is what I love about art itself.

Introducing DreamUp™, an image-generation tool powered by your prompts that allows you to visualize most anything you can DreamUp! DeviantArt DreamUp lets you create AI-art knowing that creators and their work are treated fairly. UPDATE: We heard the community feedback, and now all deviations are automatically labeled as NOT authorized for use in AI datasets. IMPORTANT: DeviantArt did not, does not, and will not use deviations submitted to DeviantArt to add to third-party AI models or training sets, or on DreamUp itself. DeviantArt did not consent to third-party technology usage of images on our site, which were used to train AI models. In an effort to combat future unauthorized usage, we have enacted “noai” — an industry-first directive alerting AI models of deviants' desires to opt out. DeviantArt is the only platform giving creators the ability to tell third-party AI datasets and models whether or not their content can be used for training. This is a protection for creators to
