[@nightingalexx5623]

I don't use DA, but I have heard from friends about this change. And I'm personally a bit sad that this happened because the creators didn't listen to user feedback. This video and speedpaint is such a cute and wholesome way to say goodbye to it. It gives off 'thanks for the memories' vibes. Goodbye, DA.

[@crisgriffin3042]

Non of the creators around the internet are listening for "feedbacks". Why are you acting like that is some kind of unique thing??

[@illBreakUrKneecaps8D]

I use DA and I miss the old one, the new stuff sucks

[@ShinningCrys]

But the old DA interface is so iconicly old i love it so much ;-;

[@hawahawalol91]

And more easy to eyes to me

[@crisgriffin3042]

That "old" interface has been around for what, 5-7 years only. Why not older ones?

[@alwaysbeingcalledaweeb772]

as a person who has had a Deviant for 8 years... I’m glad I’m not that only one who thinks of this important 🙏😢 I have no idea what’s happening but imma just play along....

[@jojoslameerrand9305]

Omg I was scared for a moment that the whole website is shutting down but losing the old layout might be even worse😭

[@aisha5307]

...worse? really?

[@CyborgRowlet]

@Aisha It honestly felt like DA just had no more care for the community anymore.

[@aisha5307]

This attitude towards users is outrageous, I can't deny it, but isn't it better to have something than absolutely nothing?

[@CyborgRowlet]

@Aisha It would be better to die with love than to grow into evil right?

[@aisha5307]

That is, a change in style is identified with a rebirth into evil? I understand that the situation is not the most attractive, but hyperbolization is not necessary.

[@mozzapple]

I absolutely HATE the new interface. Deviant Art has really gone down hill.

[@akira8393]

I've never used deviant art but I'm sure it must've been sad to have a cherished website go down hill ಥ_ಥ

[@saintfisuto1072]

I actually every thing it has to offer except for one thing. You have to click a button to see the newest deviations. When before you only had to log in and boom here's all the newest pieces of art. Comment on them before they disappear. Now they just show you stuff based on previous searches.

[@tori504]

Phineas Facing Forward ikr its so freaking confusing like where th did the options go wtf happened

[@archivegreenberry5382]

I wasn't really that active on DA due to how overwhelming it can be, but seeing it go down with a new layout kinda made me sad and upset, but hey, we got lots of other ways to get recognition with art, so it's not that bad ! But still, I hope they do something about it.

[@frixmylife]

DA pretty much pulled a tumblr. Causing it’s own death. It’s sad.

I just feel- am so sorry hyan :c Dont worry! We are here to help you out thru awful times keep up the good work hyan :3

[@lilyangoran7316]

No more sadness yay

[@cheriimeme]

I used to post and be active on an old account on DA, the layout was so friendly and welcoming-- I logged into that website daily!! After seeing the new changes, I slowly started to venture away from DA and came to a point on not even having any art posted now on my new account. I got curious to see if I felt that same enjoyment back then with this layout, but I didn't.. I pretty much boycotted DA since they continued to change to much and seeing that it's going to be so dark and unorganized is heartbreaking.. I grew up with DA and I get change is good for most sites, and upgrades are needed, but I kind of hoped DA wouldn't of changed..

[@jinspicyramen]

I use dA and it's very sad to see the old interface is gone. It was kinda iconic qwq ,, and this video and speedpaint captures the old times really well

[@manulette.24]

Umm.. Hehe... I'm new on this but could you please explain me what DA is?

[@LoverOfStuff]

UltiManu deviantart is the probably biggest artist website. It has quite the reputation

[@LittleParade_]

I've been using DeviantArt for close to 9 years, definitely not as long as some of the dA vets, but long enough to know that Eclipse just isn't as efficient as a format for the website than the classic format. The layout isn't as easy to read at a glance, messages are harder to sort through and even harder to cleanly delete, and even though hundreds of thousands of users gave relatively the same feedback on features that were changing, the staff just didn't listen and chose to ignore these concerns. It's where I got my start sharing my art online, and as much as I'll miss it dearly, I think I just have to expand elsewhere.

[@minta2749]

mine updated already back in mid 2019-- im so confused---- help??? But i miss old dA :C

[@laoaidan2400]

xXMintaXx ye same i don’t get it either but i did like the old one more

[@LittleParade_]

They were test running the new interface since early last year I believe, you had the option to switch to the old interface until just a few days ago. They wanted users to get a feel for it before making it permanent!

[@catyl0ver759]

So beautiful your art it so good it break all our hearts to see old da go away I love how you handled it maturely!

[@lisakulagina8774]

You know, this is terrible. I really don’t understand what the hell the site’s management did not leave the ability to switch designs. Indeed, in this case, they would satisfy everyone: people who like the eclipse would use it, and people who like the old version of the site would use it. It really pisses me off that we are literally FORCED to use eclipse, but it’s even more annoying that they don’t listen to their users at all. Rest in piece, Deviantart... (Sorry for my english x0x")

[@cinamoonmoon5166]

grow up things change... the new design looks way more professional...

[@himenamelody]

Alena Cecilia Diaz Díaz Sequera But not as simple as it was before.

[@sagerotusj7504]

Alena Cecilia Diaz Díaz Sequera tons of new users go on deviantart everyday and many are young learning artists so it was better to have a friendly and simple interface instead of a rough, professional one which is hard to navigate. It looked like they were trying so hard to become modern and cool like all the other websites, and because of that it looks like shit.

[@KyoukaraaSpeedpaint]

I have been super active on DA before and finding you there too, it is so sad to see how so many left the site and it went dead... Like I miss the old lively days that have been part until 2017..amating Speedpaint and capturing the feelings many of us have!

[@caesou]

it's sad to see the interface change. i appreciate how new and modern it is, but i certainly preferred using the old interface, because it was much easier for me to navigate the pages compared to now - it took some getting used to. everything feels overwhelmingly big as well, and i am going to dearly miss the customisation people could have with their profile page. i left DA a long while ago, but the issues i had with the site seem to be still there, and it's been 3 or so years. it's good to see you still active and your approach to it brings me hope. may it all be for the best.

[@Hikari156]

I miss the old DA. I’ve only been on DA for a few years but it’s thanks to that that I made a lot of good friends. RIP OLD DA. 😭😭😭😭😭 BTW, Awesome job on this and all ur other work. Love it and keep on making amazing work and be safe ^_^

[@Stars_Ambience]

Ive personaly used Deviantart for like 8 months and it makes me sad that the layout is being changed ;-; but no worries Hyan you have people that will support you through what you are going through :) so dont worry my friend :> e are just glad that you are safe and feel sorry for what happened to you and other Deviantart artists :)

[@ShirakoriMio]

Hyan, Nyanfood, Yamio, and others were my gateway into DA, and by extension, Picarto 6-7ish years ago. They led me to build a community over the years and transfer content to twitch, twitter and discord. That's where I met people that motivated me to move out of state and attend an art college, and I'm still here studying! If it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't be an illustrator - DA was a huge part of that connection, so I'm grateful to all of you pioneering artists who were active and thriving on DA in the past. Seeing us move on is somber, but it feels like growth. Thank you for all you shared with us on DA Hyan and many others! To a better future with more artists involved than ever.

[@hhollowpointsmile]

I love DA and it's such a great site to communicate with other artists, to do art trades, do commissions and all of that. I wish they never changed it, the old interface will always be in my heart. I only became a deviant a few months ago but I've been looking at the site for years. it's sad to believe that they're getting rid of it.

[@angelbaby908]

I've been a deviant since I was a teenager and yes I agree that the eclipse is a hassle and am very upset that they took away the option to keep the old interface..

[@noy4145]

Hoping that DA staffs and DEVs watch this video for them to recognize the current situation of the DA community very much ( Or rather they already knew about this stuff but they don't do something about it. ) I've really felt the grievance and sorrow emotion of the character for the issue, it made me happy to see someone made a video about this :) (ART IS A FORM OF EXPRESSION) keep up the good work 8)

[@candymomokoart]

I used to be very active on deviant when I got truly interested in art some years ago. For what is worth I've discovered some wonderful artists there, like you, that I absolutely love and that have inspired me to start drawing 2 years ago. But I've slowly transitioned to other social media when possible to follow and appreciate the same and other wonderful artists (like youtube, twitter and instagram) Even for my own posting of art I feel like is not even worth it on Deviant anymore. It is very hard to reach people there when you are starting out. It is indeed sad to see this change forced on the users (I've also been using the default mode all this time even if eclipse was available)

[@flightless-birb1886]

dA was my very first social media and where I started drawing. It didn’t have the best interface but I’d gotten used to it over the years. I’m upset we no longer have the option to switch to the old interface. Now I can’t even find notifs or journals from artists and groups I follow. Tldr: I hate the change lmao

Probably an upopular opinion but I like eclipse. There are still lots of things that I wish would still work like the old version and I will miss it very dearly. But as someone who could never afford a core subscription, I'm just happy that my DA page doesn't look like a huge ugly mess anymore. (And I'm glad that eclipse comes with the green version so I don't have to say goodbye to that). But I also mostly only upload my pictures there and that's it.. so maybe I'm just not noticing which features were taken from us...

[@thepathogenicruler1399]

Honestly I like the new Deviantart. I don't see the issue with it.

[@Theartisticyoshi]

It’s much buggier and harder to navigate through your notifications than the old site. Notifications are definitely going to be a bit of an issue for ARPG (Art rpg) groups, since live notifications don’t show you all of your notifications. Plus, Deviantart Eclipse restricts customization (no custom text box backgrounds besides the ones you’re given, you can only pick images from your own submissions/stash, stamps are gone, you can’t use coding anymore to decorate/manage your page etc.), which is a problem when customization was one of the main things DA was known for.

[@HoshiOujo]

To me it's not a big miss on the site itself... I like the new scheme, the more minimalist menu exc... it's the buggy as hell update plus the "we won't support css editing anymore that s**s... I'll still be on DA but I won't support the site anymore, I didn't renew my core neither I'll probably ever do it again, I don't see the point anymore. The site has lost his essence now... it's still a platform who I'll use, not one I'll enjoy All thing aside, your art's always beautiful! It really convey the emotional impact of this moment ❤

[@Masonicon]

I have been a Deviantart Member for more than 12 years during my journey there, I make some new friends there, make a massive crossover project(that no one else did for it's unusually sensitive subject matter it deal upon) that mixes all of my favorite series, and become better person but deviantart goes downhill from either rampant Cyberbullying(I got myself bullied for my unique ideas and worldviews, deviantart staff's ignoring my reports over this make me resorts to making online petition over this) to Spambots(made worse from Eclipse's permanence) the only reason I'm still in Deviantart was: waiting for custom walfa models of my favorite characters as well Deviantart's monopoly on it's type of site

I didnt know da meant deviant art, but yeah it is sad to see it go.. i loved browsing on there looking at your art and so much more, it was so fun and i do agree, a lot of people just thiink its a place for tracing or to complain about similar styles and its just gained a bad reputation cuz of that, but its actually a good website if you look past that i feel!!!

[@damotoneko1500]

It's sad indeed. I've been there for almost 10 years. Deviantart has been my main spot for art and socializing, I've made tons of art and talked with so many people. But i'm afraid i cant stick around with Eclipse because it takes away the flexibility of most of that. So i'll be leaving that platform for another site.

[@CaptainSpinebreaker]

heyo Hyan-chan!! if I'm correct, I remember this song in your 68th speedpaint Daisy Cat!! I've watched that video many many times eheh but yeah, it is sad to see old dA leave. but I'm ready to see what eclipse has for us!!

I think the worst part about all this is the mismanagement and lack of empathy from the new owners, the fact that they don't really take any feedback.

I unfortunately only started using DA when the new interface got implemented and when the new KZbin Studios came qwq I pretty much feel the same about both: They look much more stylish but have less features and, according to old users, are just worse customisation and statistics wise.

[@TurningTideStudio]

I'm glad I am not the only one upset about the change. There is so much wrong with it outside the aesthetics. Its broken now and not user friendly the slightest. Taking away categories and giving us three options of what it is instead? The search option is terrible, only gives you 100 results and won't let you view more, even refreshing or retyping your search still gives those same 100 results. *sigh* I'm gonna miss it. I announced my hiatus there just now. I refuse to continue putting my comics on there. I met so many people on there, I even discovered you there, and hurts knowing that the site still went through with the permanent change even with the massive outcry from the community protesting it. I hope that we all find a better platform to regrow :(

[@sakifujimori]

I’ve moved to art station and pixiv because of this and I use both because pixiv is mostly Japanese so it’s harder to communicate with the artist but I love it so I use it anyway. I use art station for the same reason but since it’s English and more professional I share that link more often I find it a good alternative to da I do miss it though.
