This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
I only say slightly because for 3 long months I haven't even BEEN to DeviantArt. Also, I don't know if I am technically back or just popping in for a visit before flitting off again into the unknown!
The chibi maker popularity continues to astound me, I can't believe how many kind comments I've received from people and how much fun everyone is having. I can't go far on the internet without bumping into someone using it as an avatar, icon, or just posting up a gallery full of chibis made with it. It's exciting, humbling, and a bit scary! The poll has had a good response too, about whether or not to turn the chibi maker or perhaps even a future dress-up project into an app. I can't say anything has been done about that since, I'm lacking the knowledge but finally not the technology (now the proud owner of a Nexus 7 tablet, go android!).
Why I haven't been here in months is another story all-together. I wish I could tell you I've been locked in a basement making a new doll-maker, or working on TONS of awesome art, or... building a submarine. But while I haven't been on DA, I haven't even picked up a wacom stylus. Not a single scrap of art for 3 months (and normally this is a good thing, I find when I have a lonnngggg break my art gets better!). For once, life has gotten in the way.
*sits for about 5 minutes staring at the screen, wondering what best to say* I suppose here goes! Kritter and I are having a baby! YAY! I found out the day before my birthday, and it's due on Kritter's birthday on the 1st of October XD I don't know if it's a boy or girl yet, I'll be finding that out in 4 weeks but it's completely exciting. Unfortunately for the last 3 months I've had killer nausea 24/7, so I wake up sick and go to bed sick too. It's like having a flu and just about as fun
Oh and to top off the stress we have 2.5 months to plan a wedding in July...
I think on that note I'll leave it at that. Despite life happenings, I am sorry I haven't been here as always to read or respond to notes and comments. I'm sure you'll understand if I can't for a while yet. Hopefully I can come back soon with an update on SOMETHING!
recently, we - the Vietnamese anti artthief - had found a Facebook page that have been using your Chibi Maker deviation to make money, which is illegal according to the copyright laws and we believe that page hasn't have any permission from you to do this.
The page named "Linh Handmade" and she (the main admin) has used your Chibi Maker to makes chibi pictures for advertisement and selling one picture for 20.000 VND (approx 1$)
Haven't done with the price, which is expensive for such a free deviation for the community to use and have fun, she also crop the image to delete your watermark and added HER watermark, then she also claimed that those pictures are her chibi drawings that she have drawn by HERSELF, which made it such a crime.
Then, my friends and everyone that knew about this have came to this to report and condemn her, she blocked us and delete all of our comments.
We would like you to have some words about this, i confirmed that this information and the links are real, without any extra details.
