[DEVIATION] 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. @SabakuNoShi is the recipient of July 2026’s Deviousness Award, so please join us in congratulating her! [DEVIATION] @SabakuNoShi has been a long-standing and much-loved presence across DeviantArt, known for both her creative work and the consistent way she supports and uplifts others in the community. Shi’s gallery reflects her wide range of mediums, from intricate miniature dioramas and handcrafted pieces to photography and illustration. What unifies them is a strong sense of imagination and care in execution. Beyond her own artwork, Shi is deeply involved in highlighting and celebrating the work of others. Through her regular features, Daily Deviation suggestions, and ongoing encouragement of fellow artists, she helps bring attention to a diverse range of voices

Seniority has been a cornerstone of DeviantArt since its early years and is an award given to those who have left their mark on the community. Senior deviants sport a distinct medal icon next to their username. In 25 years, fewer than 2,000 deviants have received Seniority. Please join us in congratulating these outstanding deviants recognized for their engagement, helpfulness, kindness, sincerity, and so much more!

Rather than focusing on the obvious moment, his images often highlight mood, transition, and subtle detail. The result is a cohesive portfolio that reflects both technical precision and a deeply considered artistic perspective. @MSGoesDeviant With a
