Options on a deviation which determines who can see it.
Good for people who have good pictures but are too shy to upload them in fear of someone they know finding them.

If there was visibility options, I would benefit quite a bit. I admit I do have pictures off the computer which are mature, but both my brother and sister have an account so I cannot submit a picutre in privacy. If there were these options, I would submit more to clubs I have joined, and join more! (~nfft has caught my fancy)

Examples:
A 16 year old who's gallery is seen often by family members has some good pictures to submit to a club but they are of a mature theme. He can open up the visibility options, turn off 'Guests' and his brothers' account so he could submit them without his family seeing them in his gallery.

A member of a club wants to submit a picture to a club but doesn't want others to see that picture in his gallery. He turns off every option, except the club. 'Other deviants' would be off - this would make every deviant he didn't know (including new deviants) unable to see it!


So, from one deviant to another, on behalf of every shy artist on all of deviantART, please add visibility options!

______
Possible look of it:
Group name OFF
Friend name ON
Friend name OFF
Guests OFF
Other deviants OFF
(Only visible to a particular friend)

True, but what if you want to stop certain deviants seeing them?

If you were drawing a picture for a friend and you wanted peoples opinions on the progress without the friend seeing it, you could use the options to ask other deviants without alerting your friend!
:iconkricky:
yea.. well youre right, how often would you use it? i know i wouldnt!

I would... I draw some mature pics, but if my Bro or Sister finds them... :dead:

Plus, others may benefit -- the Deviation storage feature didn't help everyone, remember.

:) I think that this is a good idea; I know that I wouldn't want my mom to accidently come across some of the peices I've written. It'd be cool to be able to make it so that only logged in Deviants could see certian things... :)


Great idea, though.

I got no secret purpose
I don't seem obvious
Do I?

:heart:

You take your steps away with hesitance.

The 'only logged on deviants can see' rule is on mature work.
Thanks for your support! :D

Why not just start another account and not tell these people? Put all your questionable stuff there, and never have any links between them... Unless your family members really really get around on DA and can easily recognize your style, I'd say this is your best bet!

Good idea, though obviously they'd have to be automatically visible to admins, or people would submit PVs like crazy.
