The owners and admins seriously need to just change the name of this place to DeviantAI since the only "art" you ever see posted anymore is from lazy, talentless hacks who think typing a one sentence prompt makes them an artist. It is absolutely disgusting and an insult to real, true artists that DeviantArt allows AI created crap to inundate the entire platform. First, DA annihilated the Stock Community by removing the Stock and Resources categories from the website, but now real artists are being forced out by idiots who are too damn lazy to learn how to create art on their own. Shame on all of you who rely on AI to be creative, and even more shame to those of you trying to sell your AI generated "art" because you do not even own the copyright. The majority of your "art" was stolen from real artists. You should be damned ashamed of yourselves for duping people who are uneducated about AI and trying to make a profit on something that you did not create nor own the rights to. This website has gone down so fast. Ever since Wix took over, DA has been decaying. It is sadly now time for this former best art community in the world to be put to rest. Does anyone know of any other art communities out there? Preferably one that forbids AI?

Has anyone else been hacked recently?


Apparently my account was hacked and a couple of hundred random deviations were added to my faves that I spent over 2 hours removing after changing my password.

This is probably the hardest thing I've ever had to tell people, but my mom, SewfulCreations, passed away unexpectedly this morning from her ongoing battle with blood clots. Most of you know my mom through the stock photos of Seth on my stock account, DamselStock; she made the costumes and took most of the actual photos.

Seth and I are not doing too well at all. Some of you already know that my mom and I were extremely close; we did everything together and I am devastated beyond belief. It feels like a part of me died and I do not know how I will manage or what I am going to do.

I am physically disabled, have been since birth, and am unable to work and now our only source of income is gone. So, I really have absolutely no idea what I am going to do. I'm responsible for raising Seth, and now, all I have is Social Security Disability for us to live and survive on.

A friend suggested starting a GoFundMe type campaign, but I hate asking for help from people; especially after so many of you have so generously helped us out when my brother was nearly killed nearly two years ago.

I just don't know what to do.

My deviantART experience began 6 years ago on a now defunct account. I really did not know what deviantART was when I first signed up and I was scared to comment to anyone thinking I would be breaking a rule or something. I almost thought deviantART was a "member's only" exclusive kind of place so for the first year I lurked in the shadows.

Finally I decided to test the waters by  creating my very first Photomanipulation, though I admit the term baffled me. I happened to figure out the basics on my own and produced a somewhat decent first manip.

After a short while I was commissioned to redesign the Australian Ghost Hunter's Association's Castle of Spirits ghost story website. They also wanted me to create some downloadable wallpapers, screensavers and some interactive games.  I was thrilled for the opportunity but scared to death as I had only created one Photomanipulation.

So, I started searching through the Photomanip galleries looking for trends and inspiration. I found the likes of LadyxBoleyn, shiny-shadows-ArtEstherPuche-Art, J-u-d-a-s, Andaelentari, slight-art-obsessionAeirmid

kuschelirmel, Mr-Ripley  and instantly fell in love with their work.

 Contagion by slight-art-obsession All that I'm Living For by Aeirmid Burning Heart by kuschelirmel
Cat Theatre by Mr-Ripley

After studying these talented artists I feel I have grown substantially as an artist.
