This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
So, I set up a tumblr, mostly to follow other people, but I'm also putting art-like stuff up there. A lot of it will be things that end up here eventually, but a lot of it also, uh, won't.
What to say? I am creeping toward 30, and studying English lit (when I am studying). Art is something I have done since I was small, like many people. I tend to do two things: digital art that vaguely mimics watercolors or marker work, and pencil sketches. I am more illustrative than realistic. I work with a Wacom graphire 3 (I think the 4x5?) in Paint Tool SAI and occasionally Photoshop, or 5mm mechnical pencils (preferably).
I can also paint in watercolors and acrylics. But it's such a pain that I don't, usually.
My favorite artist is Alphonse Mucha, and Art Nouveau in general has always appealed to me. Other artists I transitionally enjoy include John R. Neill and Renoir ... check who I am following for the kind of living artists I like. Tony DiTerlizzi's work I find gorgeous, and I follow a number of webcomics that I am too lazy to write out now.
Basically, there's something about a well placed line that catches my eye.
Personally, I wish I was better with anatomy of all kinds, and the shape of hands and feet still get to me. I feel frustrated when art is not "effortless", and I admire a cartoonish, casual style but feel like a chump when I try to emulate it.
I did, thank you. And on the first day of Christmas I met a publisher who's shown interest in me making a few illustrations for a book of his So I may even have a promising new year
