Going global: Say hallo to DeviantArt in German!
DeviantArt has always been home to artists from around the world. In April, we announced Spanish as our first supported language, and we decided not to stop there.
Today, we’re introducing the second supported language: Deutsch, so that German-speaking creators can explore and participate in the community more easily. Willkommen!
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]
While not everything may be translated into German just yet, more will be added over time.
Deviants' deviations or comments will not be localized into other languages. They remain in the language they are originally created in.
Now that we’ve done Spanish and German, it’s kind of hard to stop, so we’ll keep adding more languages in the future.
Spot something that doesn’t look or read quite right?

Pro creator updates, based on your feedback
Professional creators and sellers have been communicating with DeviantArt, telling us what's working, what isn't, and what would make your selling experience meaningfully better. Now many of those great ideas are ready to come to life – small changes that will make a real difference in how you create, sell, and manage your work.
Keep an eye here for updates as new features launch. ETAs are subject to change, but we'll keep this page up-to-date, so you always know what's coming. Keep checking back!

Four browse settings to configure your feed by Team, journal
Four browse settings to configure your feed
Your DeviantArt feed is as unique as you are, and to ensure you discover exactly the types of devious art you come across, you'll want to make sure your settings are tuned to your exact specifications.
In your settings, you'll find browsing, the area dedicated to defining what art you might want to see more of, and what you'd prefer hidden in your browsing experience.
[DEVIATION]
[DEVIATION]
Browse Settings
At the top of the page, you'll find a handful of controls that shape how you view and move through the site. Choose how deviations open (full screen or zoomed out), set your preferred thumbnail count per page, and decide whether to scroll infinitely or click through pages of results.
You can also turn on Invisible Browsing, which means you won't show up in other deviants' visitor widgets when you check out their profiles.
Core Members get a few extra options here, including more thumbnails per page.
Browsing Mode
Safe Mode keeps your feed largely free of sensitive content

Seller Updates: August 2026 by Team, journal
Seller Updates: August 2026
This month's updates are all about saving you time in Studio. Here's the breakdown.
[DEVIATION]
[DEVIATION]
ARTS & CRAFTS: turn existing deviations into listings
Do you have past deviations you’d like to sell as Arts & Crafts, but you don't want to lose the comments and faves they already have? Now, you only need to click "Sell Deviation" on any deviation page or in Studio, and follow the flow to convert it into an Arts & Crafts product.
[DEVIATION]
[DEVIATION]
SUBMIT WITH ATTACHMENTS: upload smarter, not harder
Deviants can now upload multiple files at once, and the upload order will be preserved automatically. We’ve even added drag-and-drop reorder if you make a mistake. A small change with a big quality-of-life payoff, especially if you're managing multi-file listings.

STUDIO FLOW: less clicking, more creating

Buyers can now find your custom art in the Shop by Team, journal
Buyers can now find your custom art in the Shop
Originals are DeviantArt's custom order system: buyers request work, you create it, payment is handled upfront, and everything is delivered through your Studio. See how it works.
Buyers are now coming to the DeviantArt Shop to find artists for custom work. Everything from characters, portraits, YCHs, reference sheets, and more. They're searching for it, and your listing is how they find you. Submit your Original offering to appear in the Shop, so interested buyers can make their next favorite purchase!
[DEVIATION]
(Originals featured above: Character Portrait by @ReverieBeasts, Outfit Bundle Mystery Box by @AKoukis, Eyes and Image editing by @MayaHunter.)
Buyers can filter by base price, sort by time or relevance, and search by keyword or type. The more descriptive your listing, the easier it is to find.
A few tips to help your listing stand out:
Use a title that clearly describes what you're offering.
Make your primary image a strong example of your work and what buyers can
Seller Tips with OHH: Be consistent! by openhighhat, journal
Seller Tips with OHH: Be consistent!
Hi! I’m @openhighhat , but you can call me OHH.
I joined DeviantArt over 20 years ago and I’ve been sharing my original art and stories for over a decade. Since I began selling my Mature and NSFW collections in 2024, I’ve built a supportive fan community and learned what works and what doesn’t. Now I’m sharing my experience and seller tips to help other creators just like you grow their business on DA.

Tip 3: Be Consistent!
This tip links into my last tip about posting frequently.
One of the best ways to grow an audience is to be consistently active. People are more willing to invest in an artist who is consistently active. If they know you post on Wednesday and Friday, they will come to your page on Wednesday and Friday.
If you just post at random, then they will not actively seek you out, but just wait for your work to appear on a feed mixed in with other artist’s work. Consistency and frequency are the keys to growth!
Tip 4: Engage with your Audience

How to draw a hamster with Alicante-Design
[DEVIATION]
Tiny, round, and with absolutely squishable cheeks, it's no wonder why hamsters are adored and have inspired many de-de-de-de-dances and memes.
Nibble by nibble, Alicante-Design will teach you how to create a furry friend of your very own.
[DEVIATION]
Step 1
Start with a soft oval shape for the head.
[DEVIATION]
Step 2
Add a slightly larger circle under the body. Round.
[DEVIATION]
Step 3
Place two half-circles on top of the head for the ears.
[DEVIATION]
Step 4
Place two small circles at the bottom of the body for the feet. Hammies really just are a series of orbs, huh?
[DEVIATION]
Step 5
Lightly sketch guiding crosshairs across the head to help you place the face symmetrically.
[DEVIATION]
Step 6
Add two big eyes, a tiny nose, and a small mouth. Remember: If the mouth looks like a sideways three, that there's a cutie!
[DEVIATION]
Step 7
Draw two small oval shapes on the belly circle for the paws.
[DEVIATION]
Step 8
What in the Pikachu? Add two big
