Welcome to DevUnity, a community where every artist plays a part. Countless
Deviant Art communities have been formed with a particular interest, style, or medium as their uniting force, to bring similar deviants together for a variety of reasons. It would seem that forming a general art community within DA would be redundant, but we are not here to give individual artists a platform. Our goal is bringing deviants together to create cooperative works. The writers here at DA are at a distinct disadvantage as visual artists are more prevalent and more recognized. We've decided that its time to stop blaming administrators, lack of talent, the state of humanity at the turn of the 21st century ect... for this and take action into our own hands by encouraging the integration of writing, particularly poetry, into visual mediums and original illustration for longer pieces. We will host contests to this end and help connect deviants using a "classifieds"like setup.

If you have a work that you wish to use as your half of a collaboration find the category that best fits your submission and post a comment there with Title, Short Discription, and Link preferably in that order. For your convienence we will sortly be linking these to the journal for easier browsing. If you are looking for a work to collaborate with then just look through the posted works and choose one you wish to work with. Be sure to note the artist when you begin, a running dialouge on the piece can lead to more harmonious results.

If you believe that the resulting work is of high caliber and wish for it to be displayed in our Recent Deviations then talk to your collaberation partner and decide on a place to post it (scraps are suggested). Then send a note to this account that includes a link and both artists account names. We will then post the work and links to both artists in our deviations section, giving both of you further exposure.

In the future we plan to sell prints of submitted works if both artists agree. The profits made for this will go to fund a literary magazine which we working towards creating. We are still figureing out how to make sure that everyone can have a well founded faith in this program and would siencerly appreciate thoughts and input on how this can be accomplished.

First, apologies: I am really sorry for my compelte lack of attention given to DA, and particulary DevU, for such a long time. There is a foundation here that can still be built upon and, with help, this community still has a great chance to succeed. I've felt quite a bit of guilt about not tending this goal, hope there are still people out there that hope to see this thing become a reality. Thank you for your time ~ ~Dumb-Poet

EDIT: The catergories are up and running in the scraps section. Just post a comment with a short description of your deviation and a link to it under the appropriate catergory. Note that these catergories are quite broad, and also, they are just a rough start. If you have any suggestions, note the staff here at ~DevUnity or at our indiviual userpages. Thanks, and start posting!

Attention: Font artists who wish to donate a font (or fonts) for use in these deviations would be Extremely Appreciated. By donate we mean allow to be sold on a print, as "commercial" fonts are rather expensive. It is our goal to aid deviants in every way possible throughout this endeavour, including offering all recourses we can. Dumb-Poet is currently looking into the process of creating fonts so that he may add to this "recources cache". We will also be submitting a list of invaluable recources for various mediums sometime in the near future.
