DeviantArt is a hub where artists (deviants) submit there artwork (deviations). DeviantArt has always been focused on creative freedom and expression. As a result, the site is home to ideas and media of all kinds. Media ranges from sketches to vector logos and even literary works. The pros of DeviantArt are that you can find graphics about anything and individual artists have unique spins on pre-existing themes. The cons of DeviantArt come with almost any art site; inappropriate images and masses of strange fan creations. However, that is part of creative expression. Luckily, the site revolves around searching, filters, and categories. A proper search will filter out the things you don’t really want to see. I’ve been a deviant for almost ten years and I frequently visit the site to gather inspiration. A quick search, based on whatever I’m currently working on, shows me what hundreds of other artist have created: the good, the bad, and the ugly. From this, I have learned interesting techniques and what not to do. Deviants, also love to share their Photoshop brushes, templates, and image bases.
