A Seller's Guide to DeviantArt Exclusives by team, journal
A Seller's Guide to DeviantArt Exclusives
Exclusives are the perfect way to earn from your unique creations on DeviantArt!
If you’re unfamiliar, Exclusives are one-of-a-kind artworks that artists can sell and buyers can own. Many DeviantArt creators sell adoptables (character designs, outfits, or accessories) as Exclusives, but you can also sell digital art, 3D art, photography, traditional art, and more!
Exclusives can have one unique owner. Artists can allow the owner to resell the Exclusive later if desired, and if resales are allowed, the artist will earn royalties on resale.
Why artists love selling Exclusives on DeviantArt
Exclusives is a secure, automated system, which means you’ll save time without having to communicate with potential buyers.
You’re guaranteed payment the moment your Exclusive sells.
If you allow Exclusive owners to resell, you’ll earn a 10% royalty each time one of your Exclusives is resold.
You receive free promotion as your Exclusives are highlighted on your deviations, profile, and in
Fanart Friday: Birds by KovoWolf, journal
Fanart Friday: Birds
This Fan Art Friday features Birds!
Birds are striking creatures with tons of personality. Depending on the type of bird, you'll discover wildly fluent characters in each!
Did you know birds evolved from a group of meat-eating dinosaurs called theropods. That's the same group that Tyrannosaurus rex belonged to, although birds evolved from small theropods, not huge ones like T. rex!
“A bird does not sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.” — Maya Angelou
Owls turn their heads almost 360○ (a complete circle) but they cannot move their eyes.
It is estimated that one third of all bird owners turn on a radio for their pet when they leave the house.

Fanart Friday: Wolf's Rain
Welcome to this Fan Art Friday feature! I'll be featuring none other than the magnificent series Wolf's Rain!
"Wolf's Rain" is an anime series that blends elements of fantasy, adventure, and post-apocalyptic themes. Set in a world where humanity believes wolves to be extinct, it follows the journey of a group of wolves who can take on human form in their quest to find Paradise, a legendary utopia said to be the only place where wolves can find peace.
The story begins with Kiba, a lone white wolf, searching for Paradise. He encounters other wolves along the way: Tsume, Hige, and Toboe, each with their own motivations and backgrounds. Together, they face various challenges and obstacles, including human hunters and the harsh realities of their world.
As they travel, they are joined by humans who become intertwined in their quest, including Cheza, a mysterious girl with the ability to communicate with plants and believed to be the key to finding Paradise.

YCH Showcase - June 2024
YCH artists don't just create art; they ignite your imagination with boundless possibilities. With each stroke of their pencil or brush, they sketch a scene, a moment, a pose that invites you to envision your character within it.

Welcome to this monthly feature where we spotlight the exceptional talents of YCH artists, their art, and the inspirations that fuel their creations. We invite you to immerse yourself in the imaginative worlds they've crafted for characters like yours. And, who knows? You might just discover a space for your own character to shine within their art!

Psalms of war the axe of Duty by Backjack-Kitsune, literature
Literature
Psalms of war the axe of Duty
He once said to us; to be duty bound is to tie your soles
to mother earth. To seek not the loyalty of the lupine
that sparks the ferocity of her pack. But to relentlessly
chop away at the day that has granted a way to live
your life the way that makes you feel strong.
Taking thy ax in hand and tearing through the sands
of time and space not for the ideas of the bucks, and
does that rather play but the aged that are looking
for one to take their place, and keep the world moving
in the right direction, and towards perfection.
Yes, to be duty bound is to hound after the ideas of
the order, that keeps all things functioning . Even if
to sacrifice the loyalty of you sister wolf's pack. She
will understand that with out the ax to keep those in-line;
disharmony will soon intervene cut through their ties.
