An extra layer of security has been added to your settings in an ongoing effort to help keep your DeviantArt account safe.  Why it's needed As scams and phishing attempts increase across the web, the vast majority of account compromises on DeviantArt occur when scammers trick users into voluntarily sharing their password or changing their password or account email to one provided by the attacker. This, in turn, gives them access to fully take over their account.  What's changing To protect you, certain sensitive actions now require a security code (also called a one‑time password) sent to your email.  You’ll be sent this code when you:  Change the email address on your account or  Turn off password reset emails  This makes it much harder for a bad actor to fully lock you out, even if they get your password.  How a common attack works  Someone pretends to be DeviantArt staff, asks for your email or password “for verification” or tells you to change it to a specific one. They

As an outfit designer, I’ve been able to focus more on what I love — drawing and designing — thanks to the support I’ve found through DeviantART's Exclusives feature. Managing and selling files through this system has been an incredible help. It streamlines my process, allowing me to focus on creating rather than worrying about transactions or file organization. With Exclusives, the platform handles everything for me, which frees up more of my time to create new designs without getting bogged down by administrative tasks. What's even better is the flexibility that comes with the platform's payment options. Whether you prefer using Card, PayPal, or DeviantART Points, there are plenty of ways to support your favorite artists and purchase their work. This variety makes it easier for people from all over the world to enjoy and support my creations. Over time, DeviantART has become my primary site for sales. In my experience, it’s still the easiest platform to grow a dedicated audience and

Many times in the past, especially during courses, I was asked not so much about what needs to be done to develop artistic skills, but what to do to make actual living from creating art, so I decided to write an entry devoted to this issue. 1. Skills - skills must be at a satisfactory level, you don't have to be a super professional, but your art must reach the audience in some way. Only the audience will tell you whether your works are good enough to sell because we are talking about commercial art - that is, art for people. So if you have zero commissions and you try and try to sell art, reconsider your skill level, maybe it’s just not good enough to sell. I know that sounds harsh, but it might be the case. 2. listen to the audience - People choose what they like and what they don't like and, above all, what they want to pay for, so my advice is to at least partially give up drawing topics or characters that we like and be open to what people expect and like. Reaching the audience

If you've wondered how to sell adoptables on deviantART, here you can find what I've learned through the years, and hopefully my experience, tests, and method can be of help to you.Personal VS Commercial rights through adoptables, what's the difference?If you're thinking of selling adoptable designs, don't forget to specify the rules on how your design can be used, including what type of rights the buyer would get upon purchase.The main difference between the two is whether the design can be used in content that can result in financial gain: Streaming, comics, content creation, animation, etc.Commercial use is typically either included with the purchase of the adopt, or alternatively as an add-on price that, depending on the artist's choice, can be added either at the moment of purchase, or at a later date.Artists and designers might define personal and commercial use differently, which is why specifying the rules in the description or a ToS journal might clear potential
