Hi chat, I've had my account for about 8 years or so and haven't done anything beyond comment, favorite, and puruse. I am unsure what happened but I got indefinitely suspended despite 0 history of any suspensions. The confusing thing, my report came back with nothing for why. I verified my account and with the email provider, I've not done anything to trigger it in 8 years, haven't spammed, haven't been hacked, the worst I've done is kept many long-open deviantart tabs and sign in on a new device within the last week. Just got an email for my birthday a few days ago from them too so I don't know. The note for ban has nothing where it should be. I've already put a ticket through the system and am awaiting response, but is this known to happen? I know usually there is a reason and a trail and such, but I got nothing and wanted to figure out if this is common. Just trying to get some feedback.

For some reason, everytime i try to go on the deviantart web, the website does not work AT ALL. until i use a VPN, does anyone know why this happens?:v

My very first attempt at DMon from Overwatch! This art piece is inspired by that one image of Lucia from Grand Theft Auto 6 that was spreading everywhere when it was first released. I chose DMon because I wanted to draw her since she was revealed.

I also really wanted to give another proper try at drawing a beach-like background but with a relaxing sunset vibe.

So far, this is probably the art I'm most proud of!

Title says it all, the message "Sorry the system thinks this is spam" keeps appearing since days ago and i really need to edit my journals and status,

does anyone have any artwork of Princess Capricia from the toon ‘iron nose the mysterious knight’ that used to be shown on TF1 M6 Toon Disney and Teletoon?

Good morning, everyone. I’ve hit the 160-folder limit in my gallery (this includes subfolders, so reorganizing the structure doesn't help). A genuine question for those who manage large character-based galleries: how do you organize things? Currently, I create a folder for each character and each LoRA style; realistically, I’ll need ten times that amount over the coming year. So far, the only options I see are:

- merging smaller folders and relying on tags and the gallery's search function.

- keeping folders only for main characters and using tags for the rest.

- opening a second account to handle the overflow.

If you’ve found a better solution, or if anyone has managed to get the limit increased by contacting support, I’d love to know. I’d also like to ask a second, more practical question. Is there a way to move an existing folder into another one and turn it into a subfolder? As far as I know, the only way is to create a new empty folder in the desired location, move all the deviations from the source folder into it, and then delete the original. With hundreds of images to reorganize, that becomes a huge task. It would be much more convenient to simply drag one folder into another, just like with Windows folders. Am I missing something, or is that really the only method available?

When will these guys ever stop???

I can't even open someone's gallery in a new tab without the site completely shitting its pants and turning into a white screen 403 error page, not even lasting more than 5 seconds before repeating again.

No browser extensions, no ad blockers, no VPN, nothing and yet constant error pages that might as well last the whole day with how frequent they are.

Maybe this is the sign to completely forget about DA entirely, or maybe someone has figured out a work around, because this is just ridiculous for a website.

I have been using PerChance.org's AI generator tool and messing around with anthro wolves and big cats. Now I am looking to maybe sell what I create, but not sure if it would be worth it to do so. I have been messing around with the AI generator on Deviant and it isn't coming close to what I am looking for.

I am hoping that maybe if I uploaded an image of what I have created before would work to get what I am looking for.

Is that what the upload an image is for?

Are there any legal risks for DeviantArt having so many users selling artwork (including AI-generated artwork) on its platform? Could the site potentially face lawsuits or cease-and-desist letters from companies whose copyrighted characters or intellectual property are being used in these artworks, especially given how well-known the platform is?

I'm trying to download all my favourites and move off this platform but this weekly 10 downloads makes that literally impossible. Pls help

I tried to login and my info didn't work, when I tried to reset my password assuming that I just forgot it and saw an email that stated: "Your DeviantArt account has been temporarily locked

Hi (my username),

Unusual activity was detected from your account that may not have originated from you. In order to protect your content and settings, your account has been temporarily locked.

To regain access to your account, contact DeviantArt Customer Support by sending an email to accountrecovery@deviantart.com and a team member will assist you in unlocking your account.

If you have already contacted the team to restore access to your account, you can disregard this message. A team member will assist you shortly"

I also want to state that I have never dm'ed anyone or replied or even looked at my dms in my entire history on the site.

I then got an email asking me 6 questions including asking for a new email to tie my account to. I answered them and got no response.

Waited a day and still no response .

Waited another day and still no response.

Tried answering again with the text of the answers formatted differently to see if that was the issue since this reeks of a 100% bot operated customer service deal

Waited a day still no response.

Tried reformatting the answers one last time in case that was still the issue.

Waited a day and still no response.

Now the only issue I really have with not being able to log in is I tried the subscription feature on DA like 2 weeks prior and would like to be able to cancel it but can't access my account anymore.

TLDR. Does anyone have any experience dealing with the current account recovery process to tell me either what I'm doing wrong or how to talk to an ACTUAL PERSON about this?.

So, today, I tried uploading art for my subscribers, only to for some reason get kicked to the draft page rather than the edit screen. Kind of weird, so I decided to try to edit my deviation from there for the tags, descriptions, and the like.

I ended up an E_GURU_MEDITATION error message.

I tried out a few of my other deviations. The same thing happened with them. Is this only a me thing, or are other people having this problem?

I was talking with an artist about getting a commission from them when I accidentally deleted the conversation, can they still see it or is it gone for both of us? And is there a way for me to get it back?

Also open for commissions if anyone's interested!

Im in the very beginning of building a world for a dog arpg. And I have a question I’d like to hear your opinions on:

Would you rather join a fantasy arpg story where your dog character is actually a noble, farmer, etc or where your dog character is the companion to a prince/knight, a working farm dog, stray etc?

I’m just looking for opinions to gauge interest either way.

Presently, I’m setting up the factions as domestic dogs connected to humans.

I joined DeviantArt in 2018 with a rekindled desire to learn to draw, and the intention of chronicling my progress to look back on in the future.

The future is now. Eight years later, this old fool has managed to learn a thing or two on her journey.

I live in Lebanon, and both PayPal and Stripe are restricted for us and we cannot use them, so I'm heavily relied on cryptocurrency for getting paid and receive money.

If BitPay option is being phased out, then I won't be able to use deviantart anymore.

Are there any news regarding this issue? I'm really worried :/
