This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.

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!

I am a UK-based freelance artist and illustrator. My work is varied but with a distinctive, detailed style. My work falls broadly into two categories; science-fiction & fantasy imagery and natural history illustration, comprising accurate depictions of animals, wildlife and scientific concepts.
I also accept commissions for pet portraits - see the gallery for examples and [link] for more information.

Love your animal portraits, iam quite new to drawing and have been asked to do a cocker spanial portrait for a friend,any tips!other than dont do it..lol
If you're working from a photograph, make sure it's at the animal's eye line (so it doesn't distort the features). Use the original, high-resolution digital image (not a resized version) as this will preserve as much detail as possible. Apart from that, just take your time and draw what's there in front of you, not what you think it ought to look like - that makes the portrait look much more like that particular animal, rather than a generic Spaniel. Your work looks good, so I'm sure it will turn out well. Good luck!
