The Future of DeviantART? by newklear, literature

Literature

The Future of DeviantART?

Over the course of the last 23 months as a deviant, I've seen some things that most others never get the chance to, and I've seen the highs and lows of the community. I've seen the transfer from version to version with the each new August; I've seen what it's like to be a deviant; I've seen what it's like to wear the staff hat as well; I've even seen being banned. But, I ask you this: Why am I still here? What makes me keep coming back here, and supporting this place so strongly? What it is I'm yet to find properly and define, but I know for sure, it's slowly dwindling away, fading into the distant memories of better times when deviantART was

Recent Events

After all the recent events involving our beloved Jark, I'm at a loss as to whether to leave this particular online community entirely or not. If for some unseen reason it can be explained as to why he was dropped so easily without making this place seem like a sinkhole (which I doubt), I will stay. This may be my last post on this website and my last "deviation". I don't care what anyone has said, Jark is the sole reason I became a skinner. His dream/baby/life gave me a new sort of focus on the internet. I've always been into digital art in one form or another but he is the reason for me being here. Only him.

Grizzlefish is coming. Some of you may notice I've uploaded a few images. This is the work I'm doing on a full blown suite. By completion it will include (but not limited to): Windowblinds Iconpackager DesktopX ObjectDock LogonStudio Wallpaper CursorXP Litestep Windows Media Player Winamp ColorPad +as many easter eggs as I can allow and any other program I can skin. ;) As you can see there is a long road ahead of me and due to that, the suite is far from release. But I felt a need to change my avatar and while I was at it, upload a few sneak previews. Also guiru.tk will be getting a full blown makeover during this whole proces

Derelict

0 min read

Well I finally finished the WB skin Derelict. Much thanks go out to $kevin for having it featured. It was really unexpected. I should have pointed out that I re-created all the images in the skin from scratch,i.e. none of the images for the skin are taken directly from the D-reliction skin. It was a pain but I feel better for it. If you notice any descrepancies in the WB, now you know why. ;) I have many many skins in progress and hopefully you'll see at least one in the next month. Along with all of that, I plan on redesigning my webpage since right now, it may look ok, I feel it's a bit "large" and not very "sleek". That will all change
