A Beginners Guide to Customizing Your Profile
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
To start personalizing your Profile, first come up with an idea for the overall vibe you want it to have. This can range from simply selecting a color palette based on colors you like (or artwork in your Gallery) to deciding what backgrounds you want to use to add interesting elements to your Profile. Go with whatever suits your vision!
How to Customize
Add a Cover Image
Adding a Profile cover image is a great starting point for all deviants, and it’s easy to do!
When creating a cover image for your Profile, the recommended dimensions are 1600 pixels by 800 pixels and 1920x1080 resolution at minimum, so the image fits well and appears clearly for all viewers.

Gold by LucienRising, literature

Gold
you pierced
the darkness
and parted
the veil of
my shadow;
the gentle
strength of
sunbeams-
the beauty
of pure gold
where others
would have
taken me
into irons
of obsession
you came
to me with
sweet
honeyed
kisses;
a healing
hand and
a heart of
sincere
gold.

Dog is watching us... repeat three times
Telling about Transportation
and about strong vines
Another religious technically situation
Semi senile dementing conversation
Rainaldo in the Ting Ting
Hacking around his nest
Still there is something funny around
Scholar night of the proms
in a sour land
the stand
and the movement of bam bam sons
Being on the job
scratching the unwanted ghosts out
Out and about
Tomorrow the mob
Or having fun with alcohol
the proper cultivated serious legalized liquid
Other designer drugs in the lab made of squid
and fish - powder, for they stole
All telephone numbers
frog spawn and mumblers
Miles Davis the bunny with a blow horn
putting all the love in, to be reborn
Running over glowing embers
spending all the money for dope
Skin deep chocolate no soap
and that nitpicky members
Of the club not caring for relations
any cut to be liked
lard to have stroked
Who else wanna be a dog
Itty bitty not much sense
words sounds to dispense
rhythm is a
