Rolling out a more reliable rich text editor
An updated and improved rich text editor is gradually being rolled out across DeviantArt!
Why is the current editor being replaced?
DeviantArt’s existing text editor lets you do a variety of things, from basic formatting to embedding deviations and journals in comments. However, it also leaves more room for instability and bugs to manifest, particularly as the third-party technology the editor was built upon has been depreciated over time. This makes for a frustrating experience for deviants and the developer team alike, as more bugs arise and they become increasingly difficult – and sometimes not feasible – to fix.
What’s happening now?
The team has been hard at work for the past several months rebuilding the editor from the ground up, using more reliable technology that allows for better support and future improvements.When using the new editor, you’ll see some subtle differences, but the available features should remain largely the same. You may experience some bugs during the

New preset tools: templates, watermarks, and more!
You can now set multiple preset templates in the Studio!
The presets feature lets you easily set defaults for each deviation you submit, saving time and energy when uploading and submitting files. When the Studio launched, a common request from deviants was the ability to have different presets for different needs, and now you can! Set up different presets for when you submit photography, traditional art, adoptables, and more.
Watermark and Gallery Presets
You can now also set watermarks and galleries when setting up your presets! This was another community request that will help speed up your submission process.
In addition, you can bulk edit watermarks in the Studio. Simply select the files you want to change, and then select Watermark from the Edit menu.

Celebrating Deviousness - August 2024 by team, journal
Celebrating Deviousness - August 2024
The Deviousness Award is given to one deviant each month in recognition of their exemplary contributions to DeviantArt and its community and has been a long-standing tradition since DeviantArt’s early years. @ShadowInkWarrior is the recipient of August 2024’s Deviousness Award, so please join us in congratulating her!
@ShadowInkWarrior is a long-time deviant who has been a friendly, helpful contributor to the adoptables community on DeviantArt. Over the years, she's provided many different pose references and line art options for artists to practice with or base their own creations on, completely free for anyone to use, and she often helps other artists when they're in need of creative assistance. It is a pleasure to name @ShadowInkWarrior the recipient of the Deviousness Award for August 2024!

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.

When submitting an image with the new Studio, tags will now be suggested and pre-selected for you based on the content of the uploaded image. This update will be rolling out to more deviants over the coming weeks. This feature is partly to improve the submission process and save you time when tagging, and partly to make it easier for others to find and appreciate your art. These tags are just suggestions, and you can keep or delete the tags at any time based on your preferences.
You can also use the Studio to apply tags to all of your future uploads by default! To do so, go to the Studio, select Presets, and then add the tags you want.

A la surface du temps (+english version)
Tel un souvenir qu'on voudrait toujours garder
Qui défie les lois de éphémère
Une bulle à éclat inoubliable
A la surface d'un océan infini
Balayé par la houle et les vents
Une bulle qui contient
Les plus belles beautés de l'univers
La vie
La joie
Un bonheur d'intensité infinie
Une ile de lumière près de laquelle
On voudrait jeter l'ancre
Et rester indéfiniment
Un instant dont on se souviendrait longtemps
Une ville de diamant qui rayonne de beauté
Le soleil y projette des rayons arc en ciel
A travers les bâtiments cristallins
Car ce lieu donne toujours le bonheur
La pureté d'un instant divin
C'est l'éclat des plus belles choses qu'on a connu dans la vie
On les reconnait tous dans cet ilot du temps
C'est un phare pour orienter notre vie
Toujours prendre la direction des plus beaux instants
Eviter les récifs.
Un instant, un ilot,
Qui rassemble les plus grandes beautés de différentes décennies
Un feu d'artifice de magies irréelles
Un ouragan qui nous emporte vers la paix de la haute

[IoS] [Blessed Parent] Serene Library
Sumu Crex stood at the entrance of the library, the warm afternoon light spilling in through the windows and casting a gentle glow on the well-worn wooden shelves. The small, quaint building was nestled in the heart of the centaur village, surrounded by the quiet hum of activity as residents went about their daily routines. The scent of aged parchment and leather-bound tomes filled the air, creating a comforting ambiance that seemed to whisper tales of adventure and wisdom to all who entered.
The library was Crex's sanctuary, a place where they could lose themself in the pages of a book and forget the world outside. As they stepped inside, the coolness of the room washed over them, a stark contrast to the warmth of the sun outside. The familiar scent of the library brought a sense of comfort and belonging, like returning to a mother's embrace after a long journey.
In the quiet corners of the library, a red centaur was already seated, his red and white wings around his head fluttering
