Please join me in giving a warm welcome to a new group of community volunteers joining our team. Each of them brings something a little different, and I’m genuinely excited to have them here supporting the community in their own ways. @artelaria Anime/Manga • Digital Art • Fan Art • Traditional Art artelaria’s work is full of expressive characters and beautiful attention to detail. Whether working digitally or traditionally, there’s a strong sense of personality in everything she creates. @EyeOfTheKat Photography Eyeofthekat has a great eye for capturing mood and moment. Her photography feels thoughtful and grounded, with a natural sense of composition that really draws you in. @Markotxe Photography Markotxe brings a strong photographic perspective to the team, with work that highlights both environment and emotion. There’s a quiet storytelling element in his shots that makes you want to linger a little longer. @PurpelBlur Digital Art • Photography • Pixel Art •

Please welcome @Markotxe to the volunteer team! He'll be representing photography, working hard to bring great finds from across the site to more eyes. So give them a warm welcome and learn more about @Markotxe : [DEVIATION] Note: If you have off-topic comments on other areas of DeviantArt, find the corresponding forum thread here.

Through her regular features, Daily Deviation suggestions, and ongoing encouragement of fellow artists, she helps bring attention to a diverse range of voices

DeviantArt is proud to announce a new opportunity for deviants to contribute to the community at a deeper level! The Ambassador program is designed to give deviants a chance to bring artists together, offer ways for artists to hone their skills or try new things, and help shape the future of the community.  Deviants eligible to participate in the Ambassador program are those who are co-founders or top contributors of official DeviantArt groups or affiliated groups. There are many factors that determine whether or not deviants might be a good fit for the Ambassador program, but all potential ambassadors should: Frequently run or organize community events Routinely be active participants in their community Consistently encourage and cheer on other artists Ambassadors will have direct contact with and support from DeviantArt team members when hosting events and challenges, to help their projects thrive.   Are you ready to be a community ambassador?

Have you ever seen a staff or volunteer symbol or ambassador badge and wondered "Who DAt?" Welcome to the interview series that's hittin' DA streets to find out more about these very deviants. [EMOTE] Featuring a Wild Card question which is selected at random from a pool of questions. If you have a suggested random/fun question to add to the list, please feel free to comment here. [DEVIATION] Ahoy! If you'd be so kind, what is your preferred name? Also, do tell, what is the delightfully devious story of your username?  I like Joe best. A few people still call me “Joey” but only those people are still allowed because they are grandfathered in from my childhood and, yes, one of those people is my mom. My legal name is Joseph, but it’s not my favorite. I mean, I guess I could legally change it to “Joe” but uuuuuuggggghhh seems like such a drag so here we are 😃  I’m not sure it’s a delightfully devious story, but “vagrantscout” has been my handle since 2003 when I was the community
