*nyssi here. Yes, it has been a very, very long time since I have updated. I thought, though, that it was time to come over and fix up a few things and start on what I promised. Yes, the new sections which never came. I have been distracting with other things recently, but I am now getting stuck into the new sections as we speak. Keep your eyes out for them.

There will be some new updates coming very, very soon. Such things as a Tutorials and Resources section, which in theory will contain some of the best tutorials and resources around deviantART.

Places of Interest for New Deviants

We are urging people to let us know if you want ANYTHING else covered in our gathering of information. While information is still being collected while new features and rules are being implemented into deviantART, we would still like to hear from the people of deviantART. Send a note if you feel anything you need clarification on needs to be added.



This account has been created in the best interests of new (and old) deviantART members. The purpose is to create a place for people to come and learn how most things around deviantART run.
After spending hours in the Shoutbox and looking around the site, we noticed that a lot of people are asking how to do this and that. This is what the Information Desk is about. Helping those to learn "how to".

If you have any questions that are not featured here, feel feel to send us a note and we'll cover your questions as best as we possibly can. Please acknowledge that we do not have the power to enforce bannings and/or warnings, but if you have any questions regarding violations and/or bannings, contact us and we'll find out as much information as we can. Your best bet would be reading the deviantART Policies, which you can find in the "deviantART Official Information" further down on this page.

If you want a quick reply to a question, please see our Staff and Help list below and send one of them a note! Beside each name you will find different aspects of deviantART that they can help you with.

All information is based on personal knowledge and if something is not completely correct, we apologise. We'll do our best to keep everything correct.

Thanks for stopping by -
Information Desk Staff
