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 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!
Dear sir/ Madam, My name is Ria, I live in Tasmania, Australia. My favorite drawing pen is a black Zig Memory System Writer, with two tips: 0.5 mm & 1.2 mm. Unfortunately, this pen seems to have disappeared from all my local art supply stores, & now i can't even find them online! Both of the tips are important for me, & i often use smaller tip pens as well. The ink in the zig writer works particularly well when i need the large tip to fill in large areas of black, as the result is very smooth. Have my favorite pens been discontinued? I can only find Zig Millenium pens, which don't have a large enough tip. I don't mind if I have to buy 2 pens, although the double tip is very convenient when I'm travelling! Where can I buy Zig pens in Australia? Is there a large 1.2 mm tip pen still available with that lovely ink in it? Or can i buy pens from your company's website & have them sent to me in Australia? I hope you will be able to help me, as my current Zig Writer will run out of ink soon! Yours sincerely, Ria
sigh! If I'd realized they were going to disappear I'd have stocked up on them when we were in Tokyo in 2009! dammit!
"Ria is a self taught artist with a remarkable eccentric realist style influenced by her medical training. Expressing her love of fantasy and tales of the imagination, her paintings appear as scenes from yet to be written legends. In The Nocturnal Ones she places herself in a strangely familiar night forest surrounded by Tasmanian animals. In White Leather & Chrome her exquisitely rendered male nude has giant wings folded behind him as he sits in reverie.
She works in a wide variety of mediums, from traditional oil paint to pencil, marker pen and ink. Ria’s draftsmanship is wonderful, demonstrating a commitment to life drawing as practice for the figure.
Ria is one of many contemporary online artists who form a community that encourage and mentor each other, sharing experiences and themes. Their techniques are informed by book and graphic novel illustration, by graffiti and PreRaphaelism." Betty Nolan, Nolan Art, Hobart Tasmania
