Adoptables March Madness 2025: Choose Your Team!
Update: The results are in.
The winning team is… (wait for it) …Anthro! A lucky group of submitters on #TeamAnthro2025 walk away with 500 points, but the whole team gets bragging rights for the rest of the year! Read the full wrap-up, and dive into each of the team's tags for some truly fantastical works!
Welcome to the artistic battlegrounds, where only one team can walk away with bragging rights as the one with the most devious supporters. Human, Animal, or Anthro – there can be only one winner!
Choose a team to support, submit your adoptable within the parameters, and earn a badge for your Profile, as well as a chance to get points.
At least 10 adoptables from the winning team will be featured in a journal, and the deviants who create them will get 500 points each.
How to Participate
Select a team: The team with the most deviants contributing to it by the deadline wins!
Create a design: Design an adoptable exclusive in your team's character design and colors.

The thumbnail grid view in Sta.sh (and across Studio) has been updated! Now, when you hover over a thumbnail, you'll see quick-action icons for "View" and "Copy Link," as well as the previously included checkbox for multi-selection and “...” menu for ordering, scheduling, deleting, and more. You can also edit titles directly inline by clicking on them, which was a common feature request available in the old version of Sta.sh. These changes streamline your workflow and provide quicker access to essential actions.

Learn easy ways to customize your profile!
Do you want to customize your profile on DeviantArt? Whether you’re trying to personalize your space for the first time or have been decorating your profile for years, here are some tips and tricks to make your profile feel like home.
Theme Is Everything

Manage and Schedule Journal Drafts in Studio
Journal drafts are joining the party in the Studio! Previously, unfinished drafts of journals could only be found in the Posts tab on your Profile, but with this and a few other quality-of-life improvements, Studio is the one-stop place to manage needs of both your visual and written deviation drafts!
Manage Journal Drafts
In the Drafts section of your Studio, navigate to the "Journals" tab at the top, right next to "Media" and "Literature," and make any edits you need. Journal drafts are still available in their previous home in Profile > Posts > and selecting "Drafts" from the dropdown.
Schedule Journals
As with other types of content, you can now schedule journal drafts through your Studio. Simply go to Drafts > Journals > Click the “...” on the far right of the draft > Select "Schedule," and set your preferred publish time. You can also bulk schedule by checking the boxes to the left of each item and selecting from the "Edit" menu.

The “display options” setting that allows you to select the maximum size of an image has now been added to presets in Studio, allowing you to easily set a default size for all future submissions.
To customize your presets, simply click the “Presets” option in your Studio. You can also create custom preset templates if you often submit different types of content with different preset needs, since something that works for your portrait photos may not be as applicable for your adoptables or emoticons!
