After much effort, arguing, designing, and programming, our front page is now better than ever! We've taken a close look at how our community interacts and made improvements to make new art even easier to discover. Quick-loading thumbnails and a faster, more reliable search are just a couple of ways we've made browsing an even more enjoyable experience.
Our Footer is now a destination in itself! Offering direct access to News, Polls, and other community-specific features, this robust feature is extremely functional and also fun to use. You can also flip through your Channels, giving you a great at-a-glance view of your favorite types of art.

DeviantART is full of very nice pixles, and now, to showcase a few of the best detailed, cute, and colorful pixels!

It's hard to stop an art theif, and I admit i
Fantastic Artists Who Deliver the Fan Art Goods!
In appreciation of our wonderful fan artists, I had asked the fan art community to come to me with some of their favorite artists who have produced some amazing fan art.

Here are a few notable fan artists, some of their fan work, a small appreciative blurb from the people who wanted them recognized, and a couple of pieces of their original work!
