DeviantArt Pros, Cons, Features, Resources, and Limitations to Free Accouonts\\
.\\
This page will list features of DeviantArt, which is the Internet's largest Art Community. I used to subscribe, but the free features are all I personally need. This page needs to be updated, but lists the basics. \\
.\\
Here are some of the basics they offer; (I'm sure I missed some),\\
* Hosting of your art in a digital photo gallery, in such a manor that it will receive a lot of attention and possibly comments if people like your art. All images are public. \\
* Chat with fellow artists in one of the many chat rooms. \\
* Read up on art news, vote on your favorite news, and write your own news. \\
* Write in your art blog. \\
* Share your art gallery / image gallery with friends. \\
* Search for art/images submitted by fellow artists. There is a massive archive of art sorted by category. \\
* Buy prints of the art you like. (And sell art, if you buy a subscription which has a lot of perks). \\
* Categorize your friends groups. \\
* Send and receive messages with other users, privately and or publicly. \\
* Meet fellow artists in your area. \\
* Participate in clubs, not just art related clubs. \\
* Download themes for your computer.\\
* Take part in contests with big prizes. \\
* Popular forums to talk about art and life in general.
