There are many features on the site that are specifically made for artists to use like options to share tutorials, create interest polls for “watchers”, the name for followers on DeviantArt, and share professional art portfolios. Communities that evolve around niche interests such as various fandoms of shows, book series, and movies. The communities on the site can be divided by medium, such as photography, videography, and artwork made traditionally and digitally, but it can also be divided by communities that exist outside of just the art world. The site evolved from being solely about website designs to hosting a diverse conglomerate of communities. They wanted to make a website for artists and designers to share their website skins, and this is when DeviantArt was born. The three met in a chatroom online and bounded over their love for creating custom website skins. DeviantArt is an online art community launched on August 7 th, 2000 by Angelo Sotira, Scott Jarkoff, and Matthew Stephens.
