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!
Born and raised in Minnesota, at an early age I could always be found with a pencil or pen in hand drawing Ninja Turtles or Nintendo characters… most often on homework and in class at times when I wasn’t supposed to be drawing. Math is overrated anyway. Growing up, it was clear to me that I would pursue a career and lifestyle in the arts. My primary sources of inspiration have always been music, music, family, music, friends, and music. I’m of the belief that designing without some form of music blasting is sacrilegious. Currently residing in the tropical climate of Fairfield, CT, I’m most likely drawing something right now, even if it’s a Saturday night… so lame.

Hey. So I really dig your stuff. I'm a big typography and calligraphy fan. I've been trying to find a good way to translate style onto the computer as far a handwritten style that also reads fairly uniform.
For you, what is your method? A lot of it looks hand-drawn. A lot of others look vector-based.
Great work. Keep it up!

Thanks for the kind words! All of my work is hand drawn, and sometimes I convert the drawings to vector on my Cintiq. I always start out with a detailed sketch, which I then ink and scan. Once it has been scanned, I vectorize if I feel it's necessary. Hope that helps?
