Search through your most-loved deviations with ease! Search in favourites is back by popular demand! Click on the magnifying glass at the top right of your favourites page (or someone else’s) to search for specific artwork you love. DeviantArt’s search systems were upgraded in 2022, at which point the difficult decision was made to phase out search in favourites, which was dependent on a legacy search system that was prohibitively costly to maintain considering its usage rate. Although search in favourites was used by just 0.5% of the active community, it was well-liked and used often by the most active deviants. Seeing the passionate response from the community in the wake of its removal, the DeviantArt team worked to upgrade the system that powers search in favourites to improve its efficiency and make it less costly to maintain, and now it’s ready for you to use. Happy searching! Search Your Favourites

To add to the fun of the beta launch of Adoptables, DeviantArt is hosting a party for custom creations, and you’re invited to the colorful celebration!

Digital artist @ERA7 has found industry success over the years creating the cover images for a traditionally published book series, as well as 3D animation and more. Learn what inspires her, how she became a professional artist, and discover what tips, tricks, and advice she has for artists! An Interview with @ERA7 How would you describe your art style to someone who has never seen your art before? I would describe it as a mixture of digital oil painting with 3D technologies, photobashing, matte painting, and overpainting. I work in different styles from cartoonish-comic to realism. When did you first start making art, and what inspired you to do it? According to my parents, I created my first drawing when I was 3 and have continued nonstop. My main inspiration has always been to show people things that don't exist: fantastic worlds, technology, and characters. I was greatly impressed by cinema, especially Disney films from the '90s. I realized I wanted to create something similar

Adoptables sellers can now select when their sale period will start, and offers now display in the right sidebar on the deviation page for easier tracking and offering! Adoptables launched as a beta feature in March, and in response to community feedback, the DeviantArt team has been working on improvements to make the feature more efficient. Two improvements have just been released, and you can try them out now! New Sale Duration Options Previously, when an adoptable was listed as accepting offers, the sale duration would start immediately when the seller completed the listing process. Now when you list an adoptable with the “accept offers” option, you can still set 24 or 48 hours as the sale duration period, but you can also choose between two settings to determine when that period starts: The sale duration starts immediately after you list the adoptable for sale, or The sale duration starts after the first offer is placed. When a seller selects the second option, the adoptable
