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 bottom 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!

"One of the surest tests [of the superiority or inferiority of a poet] is the way in which a poet borrows. Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different than that from which it is torn; the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. A good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time, or alien in language, or diverse in interest."
Eliot, T.S., “Philip Massinger,” The Sacred Wood, New York: Bartleby.com, 2000.
No offence was intended. These are all copyrighted characters in any event, it's pretty hard to claim ownership of a very generic idea / pose when you are using someone else's property in the first place.
Looking for reasons to be offended is a dangerous business. For example your nick' superspazkiki, well Kiki, I assume it's Kiki, let me break that down for you super spaz Kiki, well spaz is an offensive pejorative to many, a diminutive of spastic, which refers to a medical condition - especially cerebal palsy and spastic diplegia. So I would ask you to consider adopting a less offensive name lest someone less tolerant than me complains to administration.
Just because you didn't intend to offend doesn't mean you didn't offend. Yes they are copyrighted characters but you don't seem to understand the drawing itself is the intellectual property of the artist. You didn't just use a 'generic' pose. You used her exact drawing, mirrored the image, and dropped different colors onto it. That's very different than just referencing the image.
I'm not looking for reasons to be offended. Although art theft tends to offend me.
By the way, you really shouldn't assume. You do know what they say about people that assume correct? Also. If you're going to talk about the 'spaz' portion of my username you should probably get the definition right. Here. I'll get the dictionary definition for you.
spaz- noun 1. an awkward, clumsy, or eccentric person.
Damn. What do you know. Not your definition. So go ahead. Complain about a username I've had for -years- as there is nothing wrong with it.
Excuse me for jumping in here but I spoke to the artist lady condom via tumblr...and she was extremely gracious about the whole thing. She took no offense but we and the artist here has acknowledged it is her piece and seeing others are offended on her behalf and to avoid this kind of confrontation...it is taken down because rudecherub never meant to offend anyone. And in terms of copyright, can I add those classic iconic images are all over deviantart from the Klimt's The Kiss, Mona Lisa to VE Day and that is a bit unfair to threaten on them.Hell Jim Lee's and Adam Hughes art is often used as well as reference and original images used inversion to ship characters. So we need to get some perspective and balance here too.
I didn't mean to offend. And I've taken the image down, ( even though I haven't heard from the original artist )
There's nothing new in a quick and simple adpation in art, look at Andy Wharhol's work which took Marilyn's picture ( and others ) and recoloured them, then the countless copies / adaptation of that idea out there - is that all art theft?
As for your user name Spaz is an offensive term for many people hence the full quote from the online dictionary "spaz or spazz (spz) Offensive Slang n. pl. spazzˇes One who is considered clumsy or inept. intr.v. spazzed, spazzˇing, spazzˇes To be clumsy or inept."
Just because you've used it for a long time, and didn't intend "spaz" to be offensive doesn't mean that it isn't.
