Deviant Art uses a simple code mechanism to incorporate things like thumbnails and the pictures of various users while commenting. This can also be used for different emoticons. A colon is set before and after the command.

Here are some examples.

:iconredhat: In theory, this will display the avatar of the DA user, "redhat." This can be applied to ANY existing user on DA. Just make sure to add "icon" (without quotes) before the username.

:+fav: The "favorite" sign.

:thumb0055723: will display a thumbnail of a particular piece of artwork. The specific number can be found by visiting the page and copying the number in the right-hand side of the Artist's Comments section. This is useful for referencing a piece of art either in a comment or a blog post.

I have yet to find a comprehensive guide explaining all the text shortcuts, so experiment around! You can usually find the text version of an icon by hovering your mouse over it. From there, just add a colon before and after it while typing, and you should see a similar result.

Good luck!

How can you get on deviantart if it is blocked?

If it is blocked, you may have a firewall preventing the site or your connection may not be strong enough. Also, DeviantART is a very popular site, so it's possible that there are too many people using DeviantART at one time, which can make DeviantART run slowly or perhaps not work at all.
