Other communities that offer a similar focus include Website/{{Pixiv}}, which is essentially a Japanese counterpart of [=DeviantArt=] and tends to have less censorship regarding suggestive themes and is limited to just drawings and literature, so sorry, photography fans. Elfwood is an older fantasy art gallery that [=DeviantArt=] may have been later inspired by, and had its own share of backdoors drama in its heyday. Cghub.com was a site purely for professional artists, but effective censorship of suggestive pictures was sacrificed in exchange for a massive amount of truly talented work (for those interested, [[http://archive.today/*.cghub.com archived snapshots of several artists' pages]] can be found online).

%%Please DO NOT list userbase antics on the Tropes section, these are not tropable and will be zapped. Individual Deviations, however, are 100% tropable so long as they do not contain inappropriate content or personal attacks and SHOULD be listed here unless they are part of something (say, like a webcomic) that is already listed on this site. Site layout and rules, community events, and things like April Fools jokes are also fair game, and if you want to start looking for deviations to trope, we recommend you go to the [=DeviantArt=] entry in ImageSorces.Internet or the [=DeviantArt=] Recommendations page.

[[https://www.deviantart.com/ DeviantArt]] (styled as [=deviantART=] from 2004-2014) is a website featuring art from registered users. Art types include full-fledged paintings, sketches, digital art, photography, sculptures, writing, fan art, fanfics, comics, and more; there are extensive downloadable resources such as tutorials and stock photography. It is currently owned by Israeli web software company Wix.com Ltd.
[=DeviantArt=] was originally launched Monday, August 7, 2000 by Angelo Sotira, Scott Jarkoff, and Matt Stephens as part of a larger network of music-related websites called the Dmusic Network. The site flourished largely because of its unique offering and the contributions of its core member base and a team of volunteers after its launch, but was officially incorporated in 2001 about eight months after launch.
[=DeviantArt=] was [[FollowTheLeader loosely inspired by projects like Winamp facelift, customize.org, deskmod.com, screenphuck.com, and skinz.org]], all application skin-based websites. Sotira entrusted all public aspects of the project to Scott Jarkoff as an engineer and visionary to launch the early program. All three co-founders shared backgrounds in the application skinning community, but it was Matt Stephens whose major contribution to [=DeviantArt=] was the suggestion to take the concept further than skinning and more toward an "art community". Many of the individuals involved with the initial development and promotion of [=DeviantArt=] still hold positions with the project, from administrators to volunteers serving as gallery directors and Message Network Administration. Angelo Sotira currently serves as the CEO of [=DeviantArt=], Inc.
In 2019, the site unveiled a new visual layout, termed "Eclipse", as an alternative option to the default one. On May 20, 2020, the older site layout was permanently retired and all accounts were switched to the Eclipse theme.

Also, on an interesting off note, this wiki had an It Just Bugs Me[[note]]now known as [[Headscratchers/HomePage Headscratchers]][[/note]] page for [=DeviantArt=] ''before'' the site had a work page, which, needless to say, is something very uncommon.

** After Disney bought Marvel, there was a spike in pictures of the Disney princesses dressing up as Marvel superheroines (and some DC ones).

* {{Emoticon}}: They have a long list of emoticons that can be used, and they follow a mostly consistent art style. This was also abused with the many "plz" accounts, though this stopped once the site allowed all users to embed images in the comments.

* FanFiction: Also allowed as an extension of the above.
* {{Mascot}}: Formerly had one with [[https://www.deviantart.com/fella Fella,]] a robotic devil-like/cat-like character. He was dropped after the switchover to the Eclipse interface was complete. He still pops up here and there, though.
** Llamas are also an unofficial mascot, and users can gift llama badges to other users.
* PremiumCurrency: PlayedWith. The main currency is Points, which can be only obtained by either buying them with real money or being given by generous users. Points can be used to buy commissions and prints from other users, and core membership from the site itself. Another currency is "fragments", which can be used to buy Badges to award to deviations and comments but can only be earned by having a Core subscription, winning contests and challenges, or being awarded a Badge yourself.
