The New deviantART Submission Process
DeviantART is proud to announce a new way to submit and share your art. Our new submission process is powered by Sta.sh, our portable creative studio, making it quicker and easier to submit art than ever before!
Quick & Easy
The new consolidated and streamlined submission process is designed with ease of use in mind. The process is split into individual stages that guide you through the submission process for clarity. We've emphasized the most important settings of the submission process and collapsed the more advanced options for simplicity.
All In One
The new submit process is powered by Sta.sh, which gives you the ability to drag and drop files from your desktop, select files from your Sta.sh, and save your deviations so they can be submitted later. The new process also integrates our Premium Content feature, which allows you to sell digital downloads of your work.
Roll over each section for more details
Stash - Your Personal Creative Studio
Sta.sh is your personal creative space on deviantART, a home to images, writing, animation and everything in between. Sta.sh keeps your inspiration organized, your projects consolidated, and provides ease of use when publishing your completed work. You can store your files, host works that you might not be ready to make public, and also makes it simple for you to share works in progress to gather feedback and advice from other creative individuals. Enabling you to upload and share content instantaneously to anyone in the world, Sta.sh truly is your artistic development platform.
Your Sta.sh goes wherever you go. Using our APIs , developers have integrated Sta.sh into their own applications, making your creative life easier. Paintings created in ArtRage and photos from Adobe Lightroom can be saved directly to your Sta.sh. When not near your computer, you can upload from mobile devices using =Pickley 's Sta.sh Client or `KnightAR 's Android uploader . Plus, you can always upload via email or FTP.
Write Literature and Journals with StashWriter
Sta.sh Writer is an innovative writing engine built into Sta.sh, designed with the writer in mind. It provides a writing environment that combines rich-text with HTML, allowing for both ease of use and adaptation to any complexity you may want to add to your work. From easy formatting tools to the inclusion of CSS in the form of skins, Sta.sh Writer lets you say what you want to say how you want to say it.
Create Digital Paintings with deviantART Muro
DeviantART muro is our breakthrough HTML5 artistic application that allows you to create works of art directly from your browser. We recently added the ability to watch, submit, and share recordings of your how your work was made, allowing members to watch their favorite artist's drawing process.
Generate Earnings with Premium Content
Last July, we launched the Premium Content Platform , which allows content creators to become sellers and generate real earnings by making digital files of their high-quality work available for download. Deviants can download content immediately after purchasing them using deviantART Points, and the artist immediately sees the profits deposited into their My Earnings account.
We've continued making enhancements to the Premium Content Platform as we gradually roll it out to more of our members. The new Submit process makes it easier than ever to submit deviations as Premium Content, and with this launch, we're releasing the Premium Content feature to everyone!

Can you please fix this? Because every time I go to submit something the computer is always like:

The bugs are still there and the admins have abdicated and gone to Narnia. This really sux big time IMO!!!

Hey my work keeps on showing up as a broken page soon as i submit something! D: it only lasts for a little~ but I think this is the reason i'm not getting feedback any more! this is really annoying!!!

Umm well how can you add a zip file for example, to the preview ? i can't find the way to do this can someone here help me? thx

Loads of deviations appearing without thumbnails in many different groups, this shows the process isn't intuitive and not really working. Certainly not as well as it should.
I can't raise a bug on this as it is not affecting my submissions, I can't raise this any place but here and as the link to this page has been removed from the submission page no-one is going to read this.
It is rather a daft situation where the designers won't admit the new page is faulty and where they won't allow any feedback stating so.
A slightly North Korean attitude.

I was thinking of Swastika instead of North Korean... -_-"

Not really Nazi as they were pointlessly cruel. The DA admins are in denial and don't like adverse feedback. There is obviously a policy of "ignore the moaners and just push it out".
They forget that feedback is good and that some of it may be worth listening to. All of it is worth responding to one way or another.
π: 0 β©: 1
well, that sounds like "Nazi in the making"~~~
Hitler first ignored his people, he plotted some schemes around his rivals in politics...
...so it's not that the Nazi rose all barbaric in power, it was something like they have something, and that something was what they kept on holding...Then they "ignored the moaners and just pushed it out", and hence they began with Poland...and spread across.
but uh...yeah, anywayz, I'll say and admit I'm half-wrong with my analogy.
Still, these dA-admins kept on doin' something they want, they're gonna be power-hungry in no time.
So yep I admit I'm wrong to say abut "Nazi", but I say my analogy comes next to "dictators".

Dictators is fine!
Many people like setting up an 'empire' then ruling it. It might be merely a desk or two in a shed but there may well be a dictator there.
Here's a link for you that suggests my feelings! [link]

I've been trying to submit my artwork and all I get is a stupid little pop-up message that says "Sorry, We could not submit in the selected folder in .".
It's been like that since yesterday and I'm DESPERATE to upload my new drawings plus I have commissions to do. This better be fixed soon, It's so frustrating that I can't upload any drawings!

They don't care about users. Upload your art elsewhere (set your own site), use dA account for communication only. It's been like that since January for me, so I just gave up on dA.
π: 0 β©: 1
Here the problem,
#1: I don't know how to set up a website.
and #2 Have you even had same message too?
I don't want to give up on dA and jut because I don't know how to make my own website doesn't necessarily mean I'm leaving the internet anytime soon.

If you can't afford to buy a web-hosting with pre-installed wordpress (or any other popular engine, or don't have HTML/PHP/JavaScript/CSS knowledge), you can make an account on blogspot or tumblr.

Have you tried submiting via sta.sh?
π: 0 β©: 1
I've already removed my works from dA and NEVER going to upload them again. EVER.
You're losing a point - people came here for dA, not for some crappy sub-project site nobody used before this "upgrade". They gave you a choice - "use sta.shit" or "get stuffed". They removed support for "old crappy browsers, including all android/ios mobile devices", making dA unusable for most of its users.
They don't care what users want. They don't care what their users use, being it old hardware, software or dial-up connection, even if those ARE the only means for particular people to upload their works.
They don't care about you. Just flip them off and go. Before it's too late.
π: 0 β©: 1
Calm down! I understand your point but really, what are you achieving by doing this? It's not going to affect dA in anyway what so ever, is it?
Well I actually prefer using sta.sh to the old submission process now, less scrolling up and down, artwork uploads faster, and you can store stuff there to upload later!
My internet connection's really not very good, that's why I use sta.sh and not the new submissions page.
Again, with the amount of new users they get every week, if a couple of people quit dA/go on a anti-dA strike they won't care, they won't even notice! What you're doing is pointless.

Until today (3/20/13) I have had no problem submitting my art to this website. Earlier I succeeded submitting the a file to another website without a problem, but I cannot submit the same file to this website. I do not understand why this is happening. J. Mould

I was trying to submit another portrait to my gallery. Yesterday I put System Mechanic Pro onto my computer to clean up some problems I was having. One of those problems that I had was when I was replying to someone's comment on this website, I did not see a confirmation that my comment had "taken" after I had clicked upon the words, "Add Comment." Instead, that blue space remained grayed out, indicating that I must wait, or that my reply had not been accepted. I clicked upon "Add Comment" again and again. Exasperated, I closed, and returned to that person's gallery, only to discover that my reply had been accepted not just once, but five times. Embarrassed, I apologized to that person for my multiple entries stating the same thing. Now, after using System Mechanic Pro, that problem has been resolved, but this new problem has developed where I can no longer submit anything to my gallery on this website. J. Mould

sounds like there is some sort of technical error - DA don't give any feedback here so check the list of known DA issues - they may be fixing it.

I like this platform, integration with sta.sh is good; I use sta.sh very often.
But yes, in a same tone with deviants before me, I encountered this 404 error in submission; especially when updating a main file from my deviation.
I hope this will be fixed soon.

There's nothing wrong with it to me, but I am having horrible submission problems where it's letting m fill out all the info and stuff, but it doesn;t submit, it gives me error messages, this has happened before the update as well, and I want to know what the problem is.

How the hell is a person supposed to submit literature, with a cover, without being told I can't use the correct catergory for the lit? The only thing I can get to submit is the cover!
I've submitted many pieces of lit with cover art without any problems in the past, but I've had to read the instructions for this and I'm still none the wiser!
I believe this is a continuing problem for many and, personally speaking, on top of all the other constant glitches and bugs, I am seriously beginning to wonder if it's worth paying membership and my time would be better spent in a long and protracted fight to claw back the 21 month membership I still have. I would, however, rather something just worked!
In the meantime, some help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
