This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The left side has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
Ha
I wish I knew how to make something like that lol. I had to do the makeup though XD
Yeah I wanted to scream at the dean, but that..really wouldn't have been good.
Thank you, IronPanda. For most people, ugly is just an accident. For me, it's an obsession. There are only a few ways to make something beautiful, but there are endless variations of the grotesque.
yeah.... I mean my question is what is beauty? what is ugly? if soemthing evokes a feeling of emotion no matter what the subject matter is can that be considered ugly? If an ugly image makes you stronger, or provokes inner dialogue thats beautifull to me.
perhaps there was a time in history where people were so saturated with true uglyness that things of "positive" astetic value were all they could achieve an emotional responce with(like the middle ages when the streets ran rampent with dead bodies), but now.. in this modern age where everything is clean and splendid, the only things which provoke an emotional responce for me are those things which many would consider "ugly". The world is too saturated with perfection.
I think that people have a stronger connection with images that they find repellent than they do with images that they find beautiful. I hate to trot out the obvious example, but I took an art history class recently, and there was HEATED debate among students over the artistic merit of Chronos Devouring His Children by Francisco Goya. The students who hated the painting wanted to establish that it was objectively bad, and the students who loved it (myself included) were frustrated that they did not feel that it was objectively good.
In a later session of the class, we were reviewing "beautiful" works by John Constable, and I remarked that I didn't like them. The closest thing I received to controversy was a grunt of, "I guess you're entitled to your opinion" and a shrug.
I don't think that people really care about a beautiful work. Its lovers feel that it can stand on its own, and its detractors aren't gravely offended by it. With ugly art, the people who like it feel the need to defend it, and the people who hate it don't want to have to see it.
but
did you mean to suggest it as a print? lol...

pardon me if I'm rambling, I am a bit drunk.

That's how I feel.
