This week, we launched a major new creator monetization product - DeviantArt Originals, our new, end-to-end solution for artists to sell and deliver custom artwork online. DeviantArt Originals is our latest addition to the suite of monetization tools DeviantArt provides creators to monetize their work and grow their business online, including Subscriptions, Premium Galleries and Content, and Exclusives (digital collectibles). The @DeviantArt team has spent months listening to our community, and the feedback was clear: the traditional way of ordering and delivering custom artwork online is broken. Artists shouldn’t have to jump between messages, chats, spreadsheets and external payment processors to manage their orders. DeviantArt Originals is our answer. It is a first-of-its-kind, end-to-end engine built directly into the DeviantArt ecosystem. - Professionals Tools & Operations for Creators: It’s a professional Studio dashboard. From custom order forms and questionnaires to automated file delivery and integrated payments. - Built-In Trust for Art Collectors: It’s about trust and transparency. A streamlined order flow, clear progress tracking, and secure ownership transfer mean a safer, more professional experience for art collectors. - Infrastructure for Sustainable Growth: By formalizing the creator economy directly on-platform, we are providing a secure infrastructure for one-of-a-kind art sales, including integrated resale royalties and automated "Completed Works" galleries. This is more than a product launch - it’s a commitment to the financial growth and sustainability of artists. We want to empower them to turn "side hustles" into streamlined creative businesses.
