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!

Most tutorials I find useful are geared for Photoshop. That can be a difficult program to get ahold of. If you can you probably realize that without a wacom tablet or Adobe Illustrator drawing lineart can be tough. The first thing you should do is learn to use the pen tool. Once you get the hang of it, you may find it more reliable than a tablet, since those a pain to master themselves.
GIMP is a free photo manipulation tool which can be a great alternative to paid programs. It has limitations... but free is free right?
In any case! Download this tutorial. It'll give you show you everything you need to know.
These are a semi-random selection of useful tutorials that cover a broad range of basic things you can do to rapidly increase your fluency with Photoshop as an art medium.
And below, perhaps of most interest to aspiring artists:
Y'know... it's doubtful I'll share my fetish with anyone in public life, but supposing for a second I felt so inclined, there'd always be one question:
"How do you thoughtfully convey such a private and emotional thing to someone who is unlikely to sympathize with you?"
I believe this video (Created by Blunxy, but not uploaded by him) is the answer.
This is truly just a thing of beauty. A thing which some of you might already be familiar with. However, whether you're viewing this for the first or Nth times, it would be hard, between the cinematic and music, to call this anything less than magical.
Truly, if there is any clean, decent emotion in this fetish, it is embodied in a video like this.
Welcome to my house. Have a seat on the sofa. It's real leather, not that polyurethane half and half junk. Do you like one or two cubes of sugar in your coffee? You don't drink coffee? You really should, I'm on my 5th day of no sleep. My name is Savantome. What does it mean you ask...?
Savantaeus Urbanos Meridian de la Cruz.
Actually that is a made up name. Call me Savo.

Just your average deviant. One day I'm striking up a conversation with FDR and Churchill over smokes when Stalin comes over unexpected, bearing the suggestion that we join DeviantArt to express ourselves. It sounded like a dandy idea and here I am now.
---------------------------------------------
Shameless Fact: I am both Giantess and Foot Lover. Which does a lot to explain my profile, gallery, and favorites! XD
Additionally, I firmly believe in presenting work that is your own, or that you've been given express permission to show. Stealing art, or repurposing it to gain fame at the expense of original artists, many of whom use art to supplement their incomes, is intolerable. Those people will find no friend in me.
If a person believes this website is a file-dump for all the pictures "they like," then they should show enough integrity to give credit where credit is due.
---------------------------------------------
On a serious, personal note, I am at times prone to bouts of unpleasant bitterness which I have difficulty controlling. I apologize in advance for inappropriate behavior and assure you that on the inside I would truly like nothing more than to show you the kindness and respect you deserve and that when I do act unpleasant I do so in confidence that my profile is a safe haven for my thoughts and ideas, to a reasonable extent.

You're a friend Weelad, but make no mistake, snuggling ain't gonna fly. Saving each other from burning buildings, sure, dancing to the Beegees, maybe, but snuggling? Uh-uh.
