Portfolio Walkthrough for deviantART Members:

1) Log in to your deviantART account and visit the Portfolio landing page.

2) Click “Start your FREE Portfolio”.

3) Start with choosing layout options, including a color theme, navigation layout, thumbnail location, font, font highlight color, and homepage image, which will appear as the first image seen on your Portfolio.  Along the way, you’ll see how your choices look in a sample layout along the right hand side of the page.  Once you’ve chosen all your desired specs, click the “Next Step” button.

4) Next, create a Title and Tagline for your Portfolio.  Be sure to include your contact information, including your full name, email, and country.

5) In this next step, write a description of who you are and why you want to attend in the "Biography" section.  Describe to us why you're an emerging artist and why Comic-Con should choose you for the sponsorship.  Please also include your city of residence.  Remember, there's a 700 character limit, so be sure to be concise.  Include a photo which will become your profile picture.  Finally, upload your resume or CV, noting your educational and art experience.  Do not attach your resume to your Note.

6) Now, you can start adding images to your Portfolio.  Please limit yourself to one Gallery of up to 18 images drawn from your existing work.  Add your artwork via the bright green “Add Artwork” button, and choose your file.  Once you’ve selected your photo, feel free to add a title and description below.

7) Create a name for your Portfolio.  Click “Next Step” and you’ll be given a link to your brand new deviantART Portfolio.

8) Lastly, visit the Comic-Con group and click the "Send a Note" button.  In the subject line, write "Comic-Con Sponsorship", and paste the link to your Portfolio.  When you're all done, hit "Add Note" and you will have successfully submitted your entry!
