Adoptables Art Feature If you’re just scratching the surface of the rich and storied history of adoptables, you can begin with how digital artist and animal lover @Astralseed creates and designs characters for sale in Presenting Adoptables: An Interview with Astralseed. Then, when you’re ready to explore the different styles of art in this adoptable showcase, you can even get started creating your very own adoptable from an open base!

And if you're ready to start selling or just want to unleash your creativity, we're gifting you a llama base to make your own adoptable! DOWNLOAD THE BASE

Every May in the United States, AAPI Heritage Month celebrates the many contributions, rich cultural heritage, and the contributions of Asians and Pacific Islanders to our historical and social fabric. Originally a 10-day celebration in the U.S., today the global Asian and Pacific Islander community looks to their roots to build a more inclusive, diverse, and understanding future for themselves and coming generations. This year, DeviantArt is celebrating AAPI Heritage Month by hosting an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session with Domee Shi (@domeeshi), director of Bao and Turning Red, on Thursday, May 19th at 10:00 AM Pacific. Everyone is invited to ask their questions in the comments!

'Twas the night before Christmas And within DeviantArt’s borders, Many artists were inside Due to stay-at-home orders. Yes, some were essential, Others kept to their sphere. There was no denying the holidays Looked different this year. More rapid than Sonic The bad news this year came. Twas basically a Billy Joel song, With “This is fine” dog in flames. But through so much sadness, One thing gave us heart. There was a way to stay connected While physically apart. DeviantArt’s vibrant community Gave a much-needed reprieve: A place to share, to create, to support, and to grieve. Our community thrives on awareness, Working through emotions with art. Connections through shared passions Makes us a little less apart. So while this year’s poem Is less merry and bright, The kindred spirits we’ve found here Bring inspiration and light. Santa’s message to deviants As he rode out of view: “Happy Holidays to all! 2020, we won’t miss you!” ╰( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )つ──🎨*:・ﾟ –Creatively crafted
