We couldn't be more humbled to be amongst the other highly acclaimed finalists, but we still need your help!

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 would like to say, thanks you, for supporting this community, and for believing. That it should get a chance. It may not win, but who cares? Sure people might be bummed, and some might be happy, I don't know, but all that matters is we are being creative, and giving art a chance. People who bash DA, know this, I am truely upset with the way you are acting, but will not be rude because is community/site is one that SUPPORTS AND INSPIRES MANY and no one should care that you don't appreciate the chance given by DA. Thanks for reading.

Also note, that my other account is AllonsyCat755, so bash me all you want, I don't care. Really, let you have your opinions and me have mine. Freedom of speech people, and freedom of thought. Now, go on with your life, be who you are, and become inspired someday.

Without DA I wouldn't have found a better way to procrastinate... browsing through and appreciating artwork instead of doing actual work, etc.
Only kidding, without DA I wouldn't have found so many resources and inspirations to look to for furthering my skill in Art, or the motivation either. I found so many talented artists and even budding artists, so I thought to myself, "I want to be as skillful as them," so I now practice drawing and painting when I get the opportunity and I seem to be doing much better than 2 years ago.
But literally, I had only found this journal entry less than an hour before voting starts... now frantically trying to recharge my goddamn phone and get WiFi to download this app

I have so many awesome ideas for stories, but I'm terrible at writing the opening for the story since I'm too impatient to develop the character's story and establish all of the important events that leads into the epic ending. lol

Sure it takes a lot but if you ever read one of my novel stories here I actually build character development as it progresses after having an idea on the character.

Me too. I agree with everything you say because if you have a special talent of drawing or writing or photograph and you cherish it, then join DA to express it and share your talent (s). So, DA doesn't necessarily need an award. But, it is a great site to share your talents. That's how I feel.

Hmmm...what has deviantArt done for me? Allow Autistic people come on here and plague the entire website with their stupidity. They come on here and post up work that looks like a 1-year old done it and make big deals over them. Then they go attacking people for no reason and blames them for attacking first.
Me, Rickbeast, HenryIndiana and others were victims of these attacks and their attackers block and accuses us for attacking them first when we didn't and we get blamed for it all. This website has gone straight to hell and all the dA staff do is sit on their fat asses all day and sugarcoat everything that don't involve them. If the staff really cared for us they need to enforce a policy to remove any and all deviant users with Autism and have this site strictly for intelligent users.
