The quality of reach Just like ArtStation has indicated, its goal is to help artists gain exposure and change their lives for the better. DeviantArt, on the other hand, seems to be more mellow on the aspect of profit for its users. DeviantArt appears to focus more on the interaction of its members.

The website rebranded as DeviantArt, unveiled a new logo and brand color, and announced the release of an official mobile app for Android and iOS. All was pretty well-received, except for its mobile app. At the time of writing, it has a rating of 2.6 out of five on the App Store and 3.2 out of five on Google Play.

DeviantArt isn’t “dead” and still has a userbase, but it isn’t what it used to be – the issues it has struggled with for years are still unsolved, so many artists instead use other options like ArtStation and Instagram.

The site is definitely not dead. I’ve been active on there–on and off–for nearly 15 years and the website has changed a lot and people have been calling it dead for years now but it’s still going. They have lost a lot of once-active members, but the amount of “art” that’s posted has exploded.
