DeviantArtist Questionnaire

How long have you been on DeviantArt?
Too long, which is apparently 7 years.

What does your username mean?
It's the username I have for everything, I created it a long long time ago, when I first needed a username. It doesn't mean anything in particular.

Describe yourself in three words.
Tries and fails ?
Not good enough ?

I hate these things. Honestly you don't want me to start describing myself.

Are you left or right handed?
Right.

What was your first deviation?
Apparently this: 

And not much has changed since.

What is your favourite type of art to create?
I suppose it's writing fiction. I certainly do more of that because I find the other things I'd like to be able to do so frustrating. Or perhaps photography, I at least find getting a decent shot far far easier than drawing/painting a decent picture. 

If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
Anything? I would just like to be able to draw what I see in my head (obviously with the certain degree of differentiation) preferably without using 50 references for a pose that then doesn't even look like that it was meant to. I'd like to be able to actually do likenesses, to do something with skill, something worthwhile.

What was your first favourite?

What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
I haven't favourited much for a while, but it's almost always fan art, which tends to be digital painting of varying degrees of realism, from realistic to cartoon.

Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
I couldn't choose to be honest, there's no single person whose art I specifically look forward to (actually in trying to answer this question I found that most people I watch on deviantART aren't really active any longer - somehow even less active than me!) But the most active is a wonderful artist who is a fan of at least a couple of things I am, making great art for them:
mustamirri 
 
 

If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
Pass? I'm not currently in contact with anyone through deviantART.

How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
Honestly being on this site has had a lot less of an impact than I expected or hoped. Nothing particularly good comes to mind and sadly I have found myself kind of lost in the masses and not interacting with people.

What are your preferred tools to create art?
For writing, the obvious: MS Word and a keyboard.
For other art I mostly use my Wacom Bamboo tablet and Photoshop (I don't recall doing any traditional art for a long time, though I wish I could, I just require too many undos/redos.)

What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
I don't have anywhere in particular, the closest thing to a particular place is somewhere watching a show (or more specifically characters) I love; they are all that inspires me to create things, at least I want to create things for them.

What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
Nothing springs to mind unfortunately. Perhaps when people surprised me by making me things, that used to be amazing.
