Our friends at deviantART have done a full-blown make over.  We're not just talking a cosmetic change here, but a complete re-envisioning of how deviantART should look, feel, and interact with users.

I recently spoke on the phone at length with co-founder Angelo Sotira about some of the plans they have to take deviantART to the next level.

deviantART started out as a skin site much like WinCustomize.com is but branched out into being a general art site. Today, it is one of the largest art sites in the world.  They have some very impressive features in the works.

The new deviantART has been designed to be even faster than before and provide users with more information with less clutter.  The site has always tried to balance community with function and the new deviantART has some innovative features designed to help achieve that balance.

We're currently working on our own re-design in the form of WinCustomize 2K7. It's taking a different direction than deviantART has since we deal with a very different kind of audience.  But the new features on deviantART are impressive combined with, IMO, an excellent overall site design I think will take deviantART to new levels of popularity.

While no longer focused on skinning, the site still contains a lot of good skins and themes and continues to receive good support from the skinning community.

Feel free to share what you like, what you think should be improved and where you think community content sites are going next.
