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!
Certainly. I can't work any other way! I sometimes combine photos but more often than not I will have one main reference photo for my subject, and will pretty much copy it (although I may change the colours and background). I don't do nearly as well without references!
The way I see it, if you want to achieve any degree of realism, references are essential (and so is copying them to some extent, no matter how snobbish people can be about that!)
