A few steps from the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame, deviants gathered for a DeviantMeet at historic EastWest Studios for an evening of inspiration, community, and art appreciation. Artwork provided by the community was hung on panels for all arriving guests to see while a curated playlist set the vibes for an energetic event. Toward the back walls were snacks and exclusive DeviantArt merch like hats, stickers, and 25th anniversary coloring books. [DEVIATION] In the same building where countless records from the last several decades were produced, sparks of creativity were in the air from the start.  Host @TheLaurenVerse kicked things off with humor and a dab of chaos. CEO Moti Levy (@Wannabby) was unable to attend in person,  but he welcomed guests with a video and kicked off a kindred evening.  [DEVIATION] Next, Nicole Keller (@nicolikai) outlined benefits of the Launchpad program, and really underlined DeviantArt as a place where artists can foster community and build a

DeviantArt has always been a global community, shaped by artists worldwide. For years, deviants have asked for more ways to experience the platform in their native language. Today, we’re introducing the first supported language: español, making it easier than ever for Spanish-speaking creators to explore and participate in the community. ¡Bienvenido!  How to switch your language Navigate to your Profile dropdown in the top-right navigation bar. Click Language. Select your preferred language and click Confirm. [DEVIATION] We’re excited to bring Spanish localization to many areas across DeviantArt. While not everything is translated just yet, more will be added over time. Note that user-submitted content, such as deviations or comments, will remain in their original language. More languages will be coming in the future. Which one would you like to see next? Share in the comments below!

An extra layer of security has been added to your settings in an ongoing effort to help keep your DeviantArt account safe.  Why it's needed As scams and phishing attempts increase across the web, the vast majority of account compromises on DeviantArt occur when scammers trick users into voluntarily sharing their password or changing their password or account email to one provided by the attacker. This, in turn, gives them access to fully take over their account.  What's changing To protect you, certain sensitive actions now require a security code (also called a one‑time password) sent to your email.  You’ll be sent this code when you:  Change the email address on your account or  Turn off password reset emails  This makes it much harder for a bad actor to fully lock you out, even if they get your password.  How a common attack works  Someone pretends to be DeviantArt staff, asks for your email or password “for verification” or tells you to change it to a specific one. They
