Devious Technology is very proud to announce one of deviantART’s most highly anticipated projects – Portfolio: The Awesome Version!! Portfolio is the simplest and most professional tool on the Internet for formal presentation and review of artwork, and the best part is: it's available to everyone for FREE!








In fact, it's as easy as 001 010 011! Er... 1 2 3. I suggest a piece whenever I find one that I think is worthy off DDness, which is once or twice a week. So far, two of them have been DDs (yay!)
Step 001: Find an Awesome Deviation
Gallery directors' preferences vary somewhat, but most of them have these rules:
The deviation should not be your own.
The deviation shouldn't have a ton of
The deviant shouldn't already have more than one other DD under their belt.
Step 010: Find the Appropriate Gallery Director(s)
A complete list can be found here: [link]
Notice that for some galleries, there are multiple directors (and privileged staff members). Sending the same note to all of them greatly increases your odds of someone liking the piece and awarding it a DD. If you want, check out their journals for their preferences on DD suggestions.
Step 011: Note the Appropriate Gallery Director(s)
Again, preferences vary with the individual, but these rules should work fine with anyone:
Make sure to put “DD Suggestion” in the subject line. If you want, you can also put the sub-gallery or specific genre in parenthesis.
Make sure to put the title of the piece and the deviant in the body of the message. [link] isn’t a very interesting message.
Putting a short critique of the piece or just saying why you like it (briefly) will increase the likelihood of your note being read.
Once you write the message, just copy and paste so you can easily send it to the other appropriate staff members, if any.
Step 100: Find Another Awesome Deviation, and Repeat
And that’s it! It’s a great way to support your fellow artists, and it really doesn’t take that much time or effort. Get to it!
