A Beginners Guide to Customizing Your Profile
Learn easy ways to customize your profile!
Do you want to customize your profile on DeviantArt? Whether you’re trying to personalize your space for the first time or have been decorating your profile for years, here are some tips and tricks to make your profile feel like home.
Theme Is Everything
To start personalizing your Profile, first come up with an idea for the overall vibe you want it to have. This can range from simply selecting a color palette based on colors you like (or artwork in your Gallery) to deciding what backgrounds you want to use to add interesting elements to your Profile. Go with whatever suits your vision!
How to Customize
Add a Cover Image
Adding a Profile cover image is a great starting point for all deviants, and it’s easy to do!
When creating a cover image for your Profile, the recommended dimensions are 1600 pixels by 800 pixels and 1920x1080 resolution at minimum, so the image fits well and appears clearly for all viewers.

Seniority Announcement: October 2024 by team, journal
Seniority Announcement: October 2024
Seniority has been a cornerstone of DeviantArt since its early years and is an award given to those who have made their mark on the community. These outstanding deviants have been recognized for their level of interaction, helpfulness with others, kindness, sincerity, and many other notable traits. These deviants can be recognized by the medal icon that appears next to their username, and in 24 years, fewer than 2,000 deviants have received Seniority.
The following deviants, having shown a kindred spirit that has led to continued positive community interaction and involvement, are the most recent recipients of Seniority. Please join us in congratulating them!
A long-time deviant who has been a forum regular on DeviantArt for many years, can routinely be found helping other deviants out, being supportive when people need it, and connecting artists to one another over shared interests and topics.

Coming Soon: An upgraded Sta.sh with new features!
Sta.sh is receiving some much-needed love in the near future! Deviants have been asking for more Sta.sh features, including for Sta.sh items to be accessible in the Studio, and those features are on the way.
Rest assured — your Sta.sh content is safe and all your existing files and folders will be transferred as part of these updates and will also remain private.
Launching Soon: Sta.sh Folder Redesign
When viewing Sta.sh folders, you’ll soon see a new look that brings them in line with the rest of DeviantArt’s design, alongside the updated look of individual Sta.sh items that was released earlier this year.
Coming October 28: Sta.sh in Studio
As part of these upgrades, new features will be added to Sta.sh in its new home in the Studio. All of Sta.sh’s existing features will still be available, and you’ll also see some new benefits:
Bulk edit a variety of features, including titles, descriptions, tags, and more.

Worms by LipsterLeo, literature

Worms
A drabble, 100 word story, based on this image. Writers' Digest contest.
Tobacco was our cash crop. The livelihood of Beauford County. It paid our farm and home mortgages.
Until the worms came.
No one knows from where. One day the crops were flourishing, the next, dead. Worms the type never seen before. Or since. Ugly, huge, green, with mouths big enough to swallow a rat whole. Tobacco is poisonous to insects. The worms thrived on it.
“Aliens!” Uncle Claude declared.
“Nonsense,” we told him. “Ain’t no such thing.”
But for the first time far back as we could remember, the crops failed. And that is why we lost the farm.
Sanctuary by PeopleCallMeLucifer, literature

Sanctuary
I remembered a comic I read online.
It was years back I found it
Years back I first got hooked
Hell it was before I even started writing
It was one of the first comics I found online
Still among the best ones I ever saw
And it’s still unfinished
Left in limbo for years now.
Untouched
But hey. Life happens
The author’s still around at least
Doing other stuff.
But for me
That comic was a gateway
A gateway towards stories
Towards people and and more
To me that comic truly was
