deviantART Logo — deviantART (also known as dA for short) is a website that brings together an international community of artists in the network. The site has its own mascot, a sort of robotic cat named Fella, which sometimes tends to be the official spokesperson for the news in the community.

Space is virtual, in which each user can show their art and take advantage of network capabilities for submission to the comments and criticisms from anyone, especially other artists. DeviantART is open to many types of artists, but mainly related to the visual arts and graphics, as photographers, graphic designers, artists pixel, or painters, but there are literary works or fanfiction, films, skins for programs or pages, flash content, crafts, etc.. The site has a dynamic range of categories to sort the works that are uploaded daily, first organized in different branches of art and as the means by which they were created (traditional, digital), followed by more specific subcategories. The website is also enabled to subscribers.
