I am sad to report that I am leaving deviantART. It is no longer the community it once was. When the original founder, Scott "Jark" Jarkoff was running the community, it was just that. It was a community for true artists. The community was respected as was the way in which it operated. Since he was kicked out of the administration circle, this site has been slowly transforming into a free image host for anyone and everyone. I find more and more photos of teenage celebrities every single day. When I go to search for legit stock photos to use is my artwork, I run into clusters of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez cutouts falsly submitted as renders. A cutout is NOT a render. Reporting does nothing now. The rules have changed. Only image owners can have submissions removed so unless Justin Bieber himself pays a visit and takes the time to complain, everything will continue to pile up. deviantART is just another one of those free-for-all hot messes. It's only a matter of time before it closes down. It has come to my attention that some of the more respected professional artists in the world avoid working with those who have active deviantART accounts and that is no rumor. There are a few exceptions but that is what it is. I will keep my account live just so I can keep peeking in from time to time and lead people to my work but I will no longer be submitting my work. Okay, I'm out.
I left deviantART months ago due to the fact that the administrators refuse to take an active role in keeping their own site free to submission violations such as the illegal mass-uploading of stolen celebrity photos. Almost every category is filled with them. I keep popping back to see if any progress has been made but it just gets worse. It might have something to do with the announcement that the administrators would only remove submissions if the legal owners complain. What are the odds that Justin Bieber, Marvel, and Sony are going to simply happen upon such things in order to complain about them? Seriously? deviantART is huge and there are many-many members but I seriously doubt non-artist reps are among them. C'mon. Get real?
