Ha! This is incredibly useful, thanks! Need to remember that.

Ah, this is about the only thing from dA that sortof works. At the end of each direct link, after the artist name but before the extension, there’s some code (in this case it’s d6sfoob)  
Now, put that in a fav.me link like this: fav.me/d6sfoob  
Copypaste that in your browser location bar, and it will redirect you to the actual deviation page. Try it. You should end up at ||http://tommyjazz.deviantart.com/art/Cloud-Chaser-s-Star-410558123|| which you can then copypaste back into the source field here on the booru.
 
Usually I would do this, but since it’s a neat trick to know, I’m gonna leave it up to you to try the above steps for yourself and update the source. And while you’re at it, don’t forget to tag the artist as well!

oh no, cloudchaser got also another nametag … why not just use alias? same with octavia (melody)

I have only got the direct link and don’t know how to find the “general” link to the art on DA.
