- Sizlak 16y agoWorks with iPad. A little lag here and there, but much better than any other canvas drawing app I've seen so far.
- stewars 16y agoCan confirm it works great with a Wacom tablet. Pressure and erasing works. Info on using the Wacom plugin is here: http://www.wacomeng.com/web/release_notes.htm http://www.wacomeng.com/web/release_notes.htm
- MrNibbles 16y agowho would have thought it would be so easy!
- pbhjpbhj 16y agoReally bad title: new online drawing application from devianART. This sort of demo was shown before on here as part of HTML5 demos - but I don't think they claim to work with WACOM as this one claims to (via plugin). Really awesome. It's freemium, you can pay for extra brushes.

- iamelgringo 16y agoMy bad. I was a bit sleepy when I submitted the link. And, I hadn't seen the prior link.
- roryokane 16y agoTo clarify, the parent comment was posted when the title was “Quite amazing…”. The current title of “DeviantArt Muro” is better.
- abstractwater 16y agoHmm - strange, this was submitted a while ago with an identical (minus the ending #) URL: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1595614 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1595614
- alexyim 16y agoSurprisingly, the other one only has 2 points. This is another example showing how heavily other factors weigh in getting upvoted, as opposed to just purely the content of the website.
- chuhnk 16y agoAre there competitors to deviantart? Because I have seen them reign supreme for many years now and cant recall anyone being as successful in this market.
- epochwolf 16y agoThere are competitors. I know of three. I don't know that I would call them successful though. http://www.paperdemon.com/ http://www.paperdemon.com/ http://sheezyart.com/ http://sheezyart.com/ http://storm-artists.net/ http://storm-artists.net/ Disclaimer: I was a moderator at storm-artists.net for a little while.
- KevBurnsJr 16y agoThat's a no. http://siteanalytics.compete.com/deviantart.com+sheezyart.com+storm-artists.net/ http://siteanalytics.compete.com/deviantart.com+sheezyart.co...

- mkr-hn 16y agodA is like Facebook. It's hard to compete with because it depends on the social network aspect. There are people with tens and hundreds of thousands of pageviews and thousands of watchers who have never submitted any art.
- wwortiz 16y agoIn the community aspect http://conceptart.org/forums/ http://conceptart.org/forums/ was much better than deviantart (though they seem to have gotten much more commercial and I can't comment now as I haven't been there for quite a while).
- spot 16y agohttps://renderosity.com https://renderosity.com has a 3d orientation but same basic idea.
- extension 16y agoSeems to work on the iPad, except I can't figure out how to use the three sets of four buttons on the bottom right.
- MC27 16y agoYou need to earn points for access to those features - i.e. be a part of the Deviant Art community. Kind of a clever idea.
- belehe 16y agoSimiliar stuff and one of my favorites for killing time http://bomomo.com http://bomomo.com
- ja27 16y agoOr I like Flame (but it's Java): http://www.escapemotions.com/experiments/flame http://www.escapemotions.com/experiments/flame
- MrNibbles 16y agoThis is based on Harmony by MrDoob. Example: http://mrdoob.com/projects/harmony/ http://mrdoob.com/projects/harmony/ Fork on Github: http://github.com/mrdoob/harmony http://github.com/mrdoob/harmony Its a great bit of work, the brush engine is simple to pick up too. I really wish deviantART would fork the github repo, its not a drastic departure from the current source. i'd love to see how the WACOM integration works! I wonder how many people have paid for the extras in the DA version.
- gb 16y agoI don't think there is any special Wacom integration despite the "Works with Wacom" (what doesn't?), it doesn't take notice of pressure or anything like that anyway. edit: My mistake. It detects when you're using the eraser, but that's it. edi2: Actually some of the brushes do seem to be pressure sensitive but it doesn't seem to work on all of the brushes it should.
- ambiate 16y agoThanks. I was on the harmony site for nearly 2 days straight when it was pulled for no apparent reason. I'm so happy to see it is back.
- jcw 16y agoI wonder why it's based on that rather than a more conventional painting program. The 'webby' and 'chrome' type brushes are kind of difficult to use and get the effect that you want.
- akirk 16y agoWhat brings you to the conclusion that it's based on his work? In the source it says "© 2000-2010 deviantART, Inc. All rights reserved." I also did pressure sensitive drawing for Colorillo: http://colorillo.com/blog/2010/07/pressure-sensitive-drawing/ http://colorillo.com/blog/2010/07/pressure-sensitive-drawing... What would you like to know about it?
- MrNibbles 16y agoStranger things have happened with the harmony source: http://mrdoob.com/blog/post/696 http://mrdoob.com/blog/post/696 As for the WACOM integration, the docs here seem reasonably explanatory: http://www.wacomeng.com/web/release_notes.htm http://www.wacomeng.com/web/release_notes.htm - thanks for the offer however :) Just had a play with Colorillo, looks great!
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoNothing draws for me. Win7 64 IE8. Sigh.
- melling 16y agoIE9 beta ships in 2 weeks. Microsoft is finally going to get it right.
- shasta 16y agoDoes anyone actually use these web based drawing tools?
- bradendouglass 16y agoThis is the exact question that I raise whenever I find a new one (and there seems to be many). Lots of people use Aviary but that is more a Photoshop sudo-replacement over a true "drawing app." It would be great if someone did some deep traffic analysis on all of these.
- KevBurnsJr 16y agoDeviantArt has been awesome for a long time. If anyone can pull off selling brushes as digital goods its them.
- CamperBob 16y agoI'm unclear on how to save images with this. I'd think that anyone with a DA account would receive (and/or be able to buy) some file storage space and save their work to it for recall later, or on another machine. Instead, all I see is an Image->Export option. Am I missing something obvious, or is DA?
- kemayo 16y agoThere's a save/load feature in beta. It just didn't launch with it. http://devbug.deviantart.com/blog/34734592/ http://devbug.deviantart.com/blog/34734592/
- baq 16y agoexport image, right-click, save as, send to your gmail?
- CamperBob 16y agoYeah, that's lame. It should be more like "Image->Save", enter a name (and optional additional tags), and hit "OK." How am I supposed to continue working on the image later, or on a different PC or tablet, if the only way I can save it is by sending it to GMail?
- slime 16y agoThis is fantastic. Thanks for the link.
