DeviantArtist Questionnaire

So, since everyone else is doing it, I guess I should, too.

1. How long have you been on DeviantArt?
Eight years, according to the stat.  That's apparently over half as long as DA itself has existed.

2. What does your username mean?
Sonic Interface is the name of an old Sonic RP forum I used to run, which I joined DA with the intent to advertise; it didn't pan out, but I stuck around nonetheless.

3. Describe yourself in three words.
Emotionless, introspective, lazy.

4. Are you left or right handed?
I write and draw with my right hand.

5. What was your first deviation?
A drawn picture titled "Shattered Moonlight", a literal interpretation of the name of an at-the-time acquaintance's website.  The picture was an attempt to butter her up a little... to make a long story short, I've since realized that I'm better off not being acquainted with her.

6. What is your favourite type of art to create?
Short stories.  Mainly because they're relatively easy to create.

7. If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
Anything visual.  Traditional or digital art.  Of course, I don't have a tablet.

8. What was your first favourite?
A stamp about originality.  Originality seems to be a bit of a rarity in the art world, and I take it where I can get it.  I like to think I go the extra mile to be more original than my peers... or at least I did at the time; I'm not sure whether I still do now.

9. What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
There's no one type of art I could accept as an answer to that question.  I fave sparingly, except of course for things that were actually done for me.

10. Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
I don't have one.  I've become various levels of close with various deviants over the years, but I definitely don't have an all-time favorite.

11. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
Now there's a tongue-biter of a question.  Like I said, I've become close with various deviants over the years... currently I suppose lizardman22 would be the best candidate.

12. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
Am I supposed to pick one deviant, or just answer the question in general?  ...I'll just answer the question in general.  DeviantART provides me with the friends I'm too shy to have in real life.  I somehow always know that if my life hits a snag and I find myself downer than usual-- something which happens more frequently than I'd care to think about-- they'll be there to reassure me and keep me going.

13. What are your preferred tools to create art?
My usual tool is the Sta.sh Writer word processor, but a clipboard and colored pencils are my second choice.  I'm not confident enough to use anything more permanent than that.

14. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
I wouldn't call it "inspirational" (but maybe I should look for something worthy of that label-- I'm a little low on inspiration nowadays!), but I prefer a quiet, private room with just my laptop and art supplies to keep me company.  Often I'll play some music to set the mood of whatever I'm drawing/writing.

15. What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
Another tongue-biter.  I don't really play the "fond memories" game.  I tend not to hold particular memories close, for whatever reason.  Looking back, nothing really stands out as particularly memorable in a positive way.  The fact that this is the case suggests that I'm doing something wrong... but I'm not sure what, or what can be done about it.

...okay, I did it.  Now I guess I can get back to doing absolutely nothing of significance.  Oh, and I guess I should put #deviantartistquestionnaire here somewhere.
