I have a deviantart account, but never got around to actually uploading some of my work to it...ugh I wish I had more time. It's an easy way to make up an online portfolio for free, without making an entire portfolio site. I don't think it's a site for selling your work. You never know, someone might see something they really like of yours, and contact you. That's happened to me once or twice just from having the portfolios up on the micro sites.
Deviantart is almost like myspace for art-freaks (designers, illustrators, artists & photographers)
