Introducing DreamUp™, an image-generation tool powered by your prompts that allows you to visualize most anything you can DreamUp! DeviantArt DreamUp lets you create AI-art knowing that creators and their work are treated fairly. UPDATE: We heard the community feedback, and now all deviations are automatically labeled as NOT authorized for use in AI datasets. IMPORTANT: DeviantArt did not, does not, and will not use deviations submitted to DeviantArt to add to third-party AI models or training sets, or on DreamUp itself. DeviantArt did not consent to third-party technology usage of images on our site, which were used to train AI models. In an effort to combat future unauthorized usage, we have enacted “noai” — an industry-first directive alerting AI models of deviants' desires to opt out. DeviantArt is the only platform giving creators the ability to tell third-party AI datasets and models whether or not their content can be used for training. This is a protection for creators to

Follow @team for more content from artists you love! This week's interview answers the question: what if an architect was also a digital artist? @Nuhanotion's stunning work gives us a view into the inner world of that overlap. And don't forget, we will also be featuring her answers on our official Facebook page. How long have you been making digital art? What inspired you to start? I started to dabble in digital art during Pandemic 2020 when people around were dying and grieving for dear ones. I was covid-positive and isolated, alone in my space with my PC. Creating art took my mind off what has been happening. I took up digital art as a new form of expression as I ran out of materials for traditional work that I was into practicing before. But due to the unexpected gains, I found this digital way more convenient and decided to continue. What programs do you use to create your art? I use Photoshop and a Wacom Intuos to draw. I have also created art on Procreate and Paint
