Wacom Pen Pressure Sensitivity Debuts on deviantART.com Web-based Drawing Application

VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- DeviantART.com, with plug-in support from Wacom®, introduced this week a Web-based drawing tool for artists, featuring pen pressure sensitivity, layer capabilities and multiple brush options.  The drawing tool, named deviantART Muro, is developed in HTML5 and offers Wacom pen tablet and interactive pen display users a natural and intuitive way to draw, paint and express their creativity within the deviantART community.  

Providing superior function, speed and flexibility compared to other Web-based drawing applications, deviantART Muro is offered free to all members of deviantART and its launch virtually ensures its immediate adoption by millions of artists worldwide.  "DeviantART Muro takes an important step forward for the arts community by integrating pressure sensitivity on the Web," said Scott Rawlings, vice president of marketing for Wacom.  "Now, any Wacom pen user on deviantART can create art and even interact with art in the community, opening the door to an exciting new world of creative exploration and collaboration."

Wacom provides a wealth of pen tablet and interactive pen display options for the serious and professional artist.  Its Intuos®4 desktop pen tablet, available in four sizes, delivers 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity in an elegant and ergonomic design.  And its Cintiq® 12WX and 21UX interactive pen displays provide the ultimate and most natural way to work by engaging with art and design directly on screen with Wacom's battery-free, cordless and pressure-sensitive pen.

"DeviantART Muro is pure fun for anyone," said deviantART's co-founder and CEO, Angelo Sotira.  "But it's also a highly sophisticated application that will meet and exceed the needs of professionals in the arts.  DeviantART Muro offers the best brushes for pressure sensitivity on the web and because of its design we can continually expand the tool's features and functions in response to user comments or to new devices -- almost on the fly."
