8 years! --I've had many accounts over the years. ..A total of 5!

Describe yourself in three words.
ugh. UGHHH. hhhhhhh.
Are you left or right handed?
Right, but I like drawing with my left for fun.
What was your first deviation?
On this account it was, from 4 years ago,
I really don't wanna subject anyone from seeing my first account's first deviations haha. (They were naruto based.)
What is your favourite type of art to create?
It really depends on my mood. When I'm feeling fresh, something funky! When I'm feeling low and just want some relaxation, something painterly. I like traditional inking a lot. I also love making sequential art cause I get to tell stories.
If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
Backgrounds. Perspective/architecture/etc.
What was your first favourite?
My first ever???
HAHA OF COURSE IT'S NARUTO, I TOLD YOU GUYS.
What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
Really cohesive/put together/atmospheric illustrations or stuff with nice graphic elements. And of course.. OC art~~

and
If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
EVERYONE! I HOPE I CAN GO TO A CON ONE DAY.
How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
You know, I've actually had a few close friends over 5 accounts who helped me feel better when I was going through some weird times in my childhood. I'm super thankful to them but I've lost touch with p. much everyone from those days and they've moved on past deviantart or onto new accounts. (As did I cuz.. I never told anyone I was moving accounts when I did, I just straight up vanished mysteriously.)
But on this account, being in has been super fun and inspiring and I love everyone on there and esp. because our ocs are in ~lurve~ and she critiques my schoolwork before I have to turn it in to class, haha.
What are your preferred tools to create art?
My tablet is so precious to me but I keep getting food and water droplets on it. I am a horrible owner.
What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
FAR AWAY FROM WANDERING EYES + SOMEWHERE WITH A GOOD LIGHT SOURCE.
What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
When I was 13, I won a contest by funymony and got a 3 month subscription to deviantart. They even did a little video of them judging all the entries and it was soooo cool to actually win and see my drawing getting a reaction out of live people haha. (EVEN THOUGH THE DRAWING WAS SHAMEFUL, AND I THANKFULLY HAVE NO RECORD OF IT, AND I WILL RUN AWAY FROM MY PAST FOREVER AND THAT IS WHY I HAVE HAD 5 ACCOUNTS)
