Description
Deviantart is testing large thumbnails for Browsing DA and for our Galleries. Here's what my gallery looks like using the test feature....I like it. Lets my art show more of its quality that you can't see as well when its tiny. As you can see it still has some bugs since all of them didn't show. What do you guys think?Here's the link where you can test this [link] (I'm not sure but you may need to be a DA beta tester like I am. )

Thank you for sharing! ^_^ I'll have to check it out!

My only concern is whether people will have a choice or not. It would be nice to have a scale rather than the option of two (or more) sizes. On a personal level though I wouldn't be too bothered; I do prefer the larger thumbnails, for pretty much the same reasons as people have already said

It would be something we would need to learn to love...just like with any change.

I don't care for how it's kind of sloppy aligned, but other then that I love it!

It would make sense, not every piece of art is the exact same dimensions...one major benefit is that titles can be longer now.

But, using a grid layout would allow for a cleaner layout without loosing the benefits.

Mine isn't the only one that doesn't display all the images? I've searched and searched how to fix it, and I haven't been able to yet.

Yeah, its just a bug. They are constantly fixing these so I expect them to cook them out if this feature gets rolled out.

Yeah, Deviant's layout sometimes spazzes for me too. Like the font's are off, or the messages don't load.

Nice! I like these larger thumbnails. . much better.

I do too. Some are concerned that some pieces would gain more attention over other pieces. I can see that if you look for artwork that some would be skipped over for simply being smaller. I think DA managed this issue verily well. For comics, since they usually have tall image sizes, DA cleverly cropped them to be like a normal image with an indication there is more to the image.

I completely agree. I also thought that for traditional art, if one deviant were to draw something and lack a scanner, then the preview would look like a plain white sheet. Now that doesn't draw much attention, now does it? With a better preview, it should attract more. . more love, I guess?

Yeah, more love in that section of art.
