Real Fast-The Christmas In July Print Sale--- Yes, I will be doing this for quite awhile on my work, for those of you are interested in getting some of my photographs in 12x18 personally signed and on the cheap, read this journal here! Now that being said, it is "Drop The Bomb" news time!!!


Could this be the best thing ever for DA?--- If you are a subscriber, go become a Beta Tester asap! And I mean like NOW! It isn't out yet but when it is, you will be able to do it! What is I am talking about? Read on!

Remember back a few months ago when I asked in a poll to give me your suggestions for deviantART? Remember all that? What was one of the most common answers that was given? Portfolio's! How it would be nice to have something that looked completely professional with no advertising or deviantART branding at all on it. Something that honest to God blew people away. Something that kicked major butt that and put it on same kind of level as many expensive sites out there already. Guess what!? It is COMING!!!!

Today, us GM's got the first sneak and the chance to play with the new upcoming Portfolio's! Let me tell you guys, this just put DA on a whole different level, the likes of which DA has never seen! I must admit, I was stoked about Groups, but this, this is just completely AWESOME! If some of you recall, the Portfolio's of before that were in Beta testing? Remember those? lol This will make that look like it was put together by 2 year olds! I am talking the full on deal here....the REAL deal!

I have to hand it to the developers of this, because honestly, they went totally full tilt out on this. I honestly can not ever recall being so excited about something on deviantART before. I think this will turn a lot of you on your heads, from thinking that DA is just an art community to something that now mixes both community with complete professionalism!

So what does it all do you ask?

Choose a custom domain that deviantART has provided OR you can even use your own! Yes you read correctly, you can actually use your very own domain with this!

There is NO mention anywhere of deviantART in anything at all. Not even if you are a free user.

Portfolio storage! Yes, complete portfolio storage of images, that are NOT in your deviantART gallery!

Directly import images that you already have in your gallery.

No HTML or CSS knowledge needed at all, 2 skins---dark and light, font color choices, and the best thing---Personal Brand Identity! Yes, you can have your OWN logo that you yourself created, upload it, and use it!

Complete Artist Bio's

So how does it look? I don't know you tell me! Mine is here, and I am just messing about with it thus far, tinkering somewhat with it. In the days to come I will give it the full throttle work over though! Go check out $liquisoft journal and read up all about it and check out the examples which he has listed! [link]
