We couldn't be more humbled to be amongst the other highly acclaimed finalists, but we still need your help!  This year, voting for the People’s Choice category is open to everyone, all over the world.  However, the process is a bit tricky, as it requires voters to cast their final votes live, using a smartphone or tablet app.

  • Thank you for your support!

    We wouldn't have been considered for this honor if it weren't for the support and passion of deviants like you. By getting the word out, deviantART hopes for the chance to bring you even more cutting-edge technology in the creative realm, reaching more artists than ever before. So, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all the support you've given us over the years, and stay devious!

    I've never had those problems, I'm talking about the many other people that have had their artwork outright stolen, have been stalked, sexually and verbally harassed here on DA with admins doing NOTHING about it. The only 100% certain way is a big, ugly watermark that ruins the piece, might as well make it a goddamn thumbnail.

    I can't remember, but as far as the Watermark goes, isn't that customizable when you get Premium? If not, well, that would be a good next step for dA.
    I can understand harassment. It happens everywhere. It's practically part of the internet. If the staff isn't doing anything about the reports we send though, that's a problem.

    I've started a bit of a movement against one particular member: spyke1985.deviantart.com/journ…
    It's been spread all over the internet. Tumblr, facebook, twitter, google+; some of the participants even reported the thief to Bioware thanks to the art the thief stole directly from them.

    I'd be quite happy to start a movement against any/all thieves that are found and confirmed to have stolen art in their galleries. Harassment and theft has reached an all-time high on this site. It's time the people started fighting back.

    well actually if someone doesnt even do anything to give out their information and the website does then it's the website's responsibility. if dA is mishandling personal information and privacy settings for users its their fault not the users.

    I haven't seen any connections as to where a lot of personal information is Required to be given to dA. I do only see spaces where you can enter information if you so choose.
    Are we having problems with keeping Card numbers safe? That indeed would be a different story. But as well as I'm aware, I haven't seen any privacy problems that can't be corrected.

    its probably something to do w/ payment/location info thats required to input to get a sub

    i personally havent had any issues but thats because i refuse to give money to a website that treats its members like trash
