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!
I found a site where they sell students the entire Autodesk set for only a fraction of a single program. The student set comes with Maya, Mudbox, and those other programs I'm probably never gonna use, for only $300-something.
sorry, I haven't been on deviant art in a while. Yeah, I've seen those in the past. I think those offers are pirated copies. You've got a lil while until you start 3d in school. I wouldn't worry too much about it for now, except maybe mudbox or zbrush, for a little sculpting. Right now you shouldn't put your time into learning programs. They take forever and don't make you a better artist. If I were you, right now I'd drill the hell out of Anatomy, Rendering, Perspective, and Design, and Color Theory. Anatomy is only if you wanna do characters. If you wanna work on vehicles and environments, don't worry about it so much. If you know this stuff well, by the time you start learning 3d, you will catch up quickly to anyone that knows it already pretty quickly, and blow away anyone that isn't a good artist at the traditional aspects. BTW, if you wanna do characters, the best general book I've seen recently, has been "ImagineFX Presents How to Draw and Paint: Anatomy". You should definately check these out.
The anatomy one should still be in your barnes and noble, but if not you should order it from somewhere. Soon they'll have ones on fantasy females, fantasy creatures, and Manga coming out. I think you should get these if your interested in creatures/characters, study them, and just keep drawing and painting in photoshop. If you practice this stuff till it hurts your gonna blow everyone in school out of the water by the time you take figure drawing. So, yeah, start with that anatomy book, or if you don't want to do characters/creatures, let me know, I know all the good instruction books to learn what you need to get better (not that I'm there yet hehe). Hope this helps dude. Seriously, self study, and practicing till it hurts will make you a great artist. Good Luck, and let me know how it's going.

thanks for the watch! i really enjoy your anatomy studies! its something i need to make myself work on too actually... very inspiring work! i want to see more!
Yeah, I'm starting to get anatomy I think, now I just need to put everything together. I'm really impressed with your 2d animation. I'm learning Maya, but it makes me want to mess around w/2d. Its so much more fluid and dynamic.
