The Deviousness Award is given to one deviant each month in recognition of their exemplary contributions to DeviantArt and its community, and has been a long-standing tradition since DeviantArt’s early years. @Caffinated-Pinecone is the recipient of June 2025’s Deviousness Award, so please join us in congratulating them!

We’re challenging you to pick a piece of art you made less than a year ago (June 2024 or later), and draw it again to show off your progress The one-year window helps level the playing field, gives newer artists a fair shot, and highlights how much you have improved within the last year alone Let’s turn your recent artistic journey into a mini yearbook moment — one that reflects your creativity, effort, and evolution. So for this contest, you need to redraw an artwork you have made within the last year, and turn it into a "Draw it Again" meme. It should look something like this: Rules: The entry has to be in the before/after meme format. Some templates to get you started: 1 2 The

“As you wish…” This week, we're diving into the whimsical world of The Princess Bride — a beloved classic that blends fairy tale charm with sword fights, revenge plots, true love, and Rodents of Unusual Size. Whether you're here for the romance, the wit, or the six-fingered vengeance, this cult favourite has captured hearts for decades — and inspired an incredible range of fan art! “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” “You rush a miracle man, you get rotten miracles.” So grab your cloak, sharpen your wit, and prepare for adventure — then check out the fan tributes that make this story almost as legendary as Westley and Buttercup’s love. 🧚‍♀️ View the gallery, show some love, and maybe leave a comment that would make Miracle Max proud.

2025 commemorates the 50th anniversary of Washington, D.C.’s iconic Pride celebrations, but the essence of pride is woven into the tapestry of history. This year's theme is the Fabric of Freedom, signifying how, while no single thread or pattern defines the community, bringing them together celebrates uniqueness while embodying strength, creative expression, and freedom. Celebrate With Color We commissioned @Estheryu to create line art for you to color and celebrate the Fabric of Freedom in whatever hues your heart desires. Submit your finished work of art to your gallery or display your coloring page as a cover image on your profile!  "The design theme of the art revolves around the structure of freedom (wings), the Fabric of Freedom, and most importantly Love yourself." - @Estheryu Sew a Badge onto the Fabric of Freedom For the month of Pride, when you see deviations or comments that are inclusive, supportive, or celebrate strength, award them with the Fabric of Freedom
