LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- DeviantArt, the
world's largest online art gallery and community dedicated to
artists, designers and art enthusiasts, today announced the launch
of a new subscription service for artists to offer custom
content to their fans, empowering them to monetize their art
directly from the platform. The addition of the subscription
service joins DeviantArt's recently launched online art protection
service and new offers with Wix and BitPay. Together, these
functions further the company's vision to provide a place for
artists, creators, and designers of all types to create, manage,
and showcase their work.
DeviantArt Subscriptions is exclusive to Core Members and
enables artists to offer their fans exclusive content, allowing
them to earn a monthly income and grow their audience directly from
the platform. The subscription service encourages any type of
artist—from photographers to digital artists and storytellers—to
share never-before-seen art, journals detailing their latest
projects, new tutorial videos, custom brush packs, PSD files and
more. With Subscriptions, artists can create subscription tiers and
offer fans access to exclusive content and insights into their
process. As the largest online art community in the world,
DeviantArt provides artists with access to millions of art lovers
worldwide and the opportunity to grow their fan base, engage their
community, and monetize their work - all from one
platform.
Alongside the subscription service, DeviantArt is rolling out
enhanced Core Membership plans with competitive platform fees
ranging from 12% to just 2.5% depending on the plan. The new Core
Pro+ membership also includes a custom portfolio website powered by
Wix and a personalized .art domain for the website. Artists can
automatically sync their DeviantArt profile with their portfolio
website gallery to ensure that all their latest work is always
displayed on their portfolio site.
Over the past year, DeviantArt has made significant upgrades to
the platform, helping artists to better navigate the digital art
world. The company recently launched DeviantArt Protect, a
state-of-the-art, deep learning image recognition model for art
theft protection, and DeviantArt Protect NFT, the first and only
solution with the ability to scan public blockchains to
identify potential art infringement on NFT marketplaces. Both
technologies are proven to help safeguard registered artists' work
on the ever-expanding web, pushing DeviantArt to be the world's
go-to art community for all things art and
design-related.
Additionally, DeviantArt has integrated BitPay as a new payment
processing option on the platform. Now, DeviantArt artists can also
choose to withdraw their earnings and be paid out in Bitcoin,
Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies via BitPay. In the coming
weeks, DeviantArt artists will also be able to offer their fans
more payment options for sales on the DeviantArt platform via
BitPay, including Bitcoin, Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies.
BitPay's blockchain payment rails integrate seamlessly and provide
artists with the opportunity for new sales by attracting buyers who
prefer paying with cryptocurrencies.
"We are driven to empower our community of artists with the
tools they need today to be secure as they continue to grow," said
Angelo Sotira, Co-founder and CEO of
DeviantArt. "The launch of our subscription service, alongside our
other recent announcements, make DeviantArt the perfect place for
artists to explore and expand upon their personal and professional
goals. In the ever-evolving landscape of digital art, we strive to
continue innovating for the next generation of creators."
DeviantArt is consistently one of the most visited art websites
worldwide and has grown organically over the past two decades.
DeviantArt provides easy access to powerful tools specifically
designed to help emerging artists create and showcase their
creativity online and build their brands. Currently, the community
boasts over half a billion pieces of original art and more than 65
million registered users worldwide.
