Created in 2000 by Scott Jarkoff, Matthew Stephens, and Angelo Sotira, DeviantArt is a renowned name in the world of digital art. It is an online gallery that features some of the best artworks, videography, and even photography of artists from around the world. Headquartered in California, the site has over 35 million members and 358 million submitted artworks. The name DeviantArt originated from the concept of ‘deviating’ from original artworks. As a result, the member artists on the site are known by the term ‘deviant’ and their designs as ‘deviations’.
