Unlist Deviations to Archive Your Art by team, journal
Unlist Deviations to Archive Your Art
Exert even more control over your profile and galleries.
Deviants sometimes want to store certain works of art currently in their gallery. Like spring cleaning, they could intend to republish later to put deviations back in the spotlight, or perhaps they're looking for a more permanent storage solution that's less final than deletion, should they need to reference it later.
Think of unlisting sort of like sending something back to drafts! It's still in your studio, but it's not visible in your gallery, ready for any action you may wish to take on it in the future!
To unlist, click the “...” menu on the deviation page, then select “Unlist.” You can also unlist directly from your Studio!
If you decide you want to publish the deviation again, click "Submit" like you would on any item in your Studio.
When you unlist:
Your deviation goes to your Sta.sh.
Deviants with a link to the previously published page will no longer be able to access it, but like any item in your Sta.sh, you

Celebrating Deviousness - June 2025
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. @Caffinated-Pinecone is the recipient of June 2025’s Deviousness Award, so please join us in congratulating them!
From the sun-dappled forests of Northern California to the winding banks of Lake Michigan, @Caffinated-Pinecone’s creativity grows wild and free — rooted in nature, nurtured by story, and deeply entwined with community.
Her gallery feels like stumbling upon a secret glade: filled with earthy watercolors, imaginative creatures, original comics, and a world that’s both ancient and deeply personal. Whether conjuring whimsical griffins from scraps or painting quiet scenes that hum with life, her art invites you to linger and feel something real.
However, their presence stretches far beyond the canvas. Over more than a decade on DeviantArt, @Caffinated-Pinecone has

Celebrate Pride 2025: The Fabric Of Freedom by team, journal
Celebrate Pride 2025: The Fabric Of Freedom
2025 commemorates the 50th anniversary of Washington, D.C.’s iconic Pride celebrations, but the essence of pride is woven into the tapestry of history. This year's theme is the Fabric of Freedom, signifying how, while no single thread or pattern defines the community, bringing them together celebrates uniqueness while embodying strength, creative expression, and freedom.
Celebrate With Color
We commissioned @Estheryu to create line art for you to color and celebrate the Fabric of Freedom in whatever hues your heart desires. Submit your finished work of art to your gallery or display your coloring page as a cover image on your profile!
"The design theme of the art revolves around the structure of freedom (wings), the Fabric of Freedom, and most importantly Love yourself."
- @Estheryu
Sew a Badge onto the Fabric of Freedom
For the month of Pride, when you see deviations or comments that are inclusive, supportive, or celebrate strength, award them with the Fabric of Freedom

The Shadow of the Serpent: The Final Confrontation.
..
But it was too late. The curse triggered by the artifact was growing stronger. The darkness began to consume the city, and the closer the curse got to them, the closer betrayal approached.
Domenico, who had stayed alive thanks to ancient secrets, decided to use the artifact to achieve his goals of destroying anyone in his way, especially Luca. In one instant, Luca and Ilaria found themselves face-to-face with their greatest adversary in the heart of the city, as the shadows consumed everything around them.
In that critical moment, Luca gave everything he had to protect Ilaria, throwing himself into the battle, attempting to destroy the curse with an irreversible sacrifice.
Ilaria, shocked and devastated, realized that the man she loved had become part of the darkness he had tried to fight his entire life. In a moment of despair, she regained her magical strength
