Many years ago, I got myself an account on DeviantArt so that I could make comments. Today (after much renaming and zipping) I uploaded my first "works" to my account. I put "works" in quotes because they aren't works per se; they're Gimp brushes designed for LJ user-icons, fancy borders. I figured more people would find my brushes that way.

I am at http://kerravonsen.deviantart.com/ if any of you want to take a look.

As for putting anything else up there, I'm unsure, as I keep on getting mixed messages about whether DeviantArt is evil or okay. Any advice, folks?

I've been thinking about putting my artwork on DA but wasn't sure either about their attitudes. I don't like having to state gender for one thing and I think they enforce that.

I have several frames downloaded. Are you likely to do any textures as well?

What kind of textures did you have in mind?

I haven't really used any so I bow to those who do. I've seen some lovely effects on others' icons when they've used them as a filter.

I'm afraid I've never made those kind of textures; I'm not sure how to. The ones I've made have tended to be for backgrounds, rather than effects.

For example, I used textures of mine in the backgrounds of the following icons:

Very nice!

Yeah, I'm not sure how to do the other kind either. I've mainly fiddled with effects and filters in the GIMP and got some nice results I can almost never replicate.
