DeviantArtist Questionnaire
How long have you been on DeviantArt? -I've been on DA since April of 2011, so a little over four years.
What does your username mean? -Nothing really to be honest. I came up with it because it sounded catchy and as a testament to my good grades in school. I added 123 because I could. XD
Describe yourself in three words. -Smart (kind of a given), nerdy, and lazy. Very lazy.
Are you left or right handed? -I'm a righty!
What was your first deviation? - Blue Spirit Mask This was a model of Zuko's Blue Spirit Mask from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Sadly I no longer have it, or I would update the deviation with a much better picture.
What is your favourite type of art to create? -That's easy: fan art, mostly from my favorite video games and movies.
If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be? -I'd like to be able to sculpt models of my favorite characters.
What was your first favourite? -Avatar: The Last Airbender My first favorite was this drawing of the moment Aang and Katara first met.
What type of art do you tend to favourite the most? -The same art I draw most often, fan art.
Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist? -zhbu.deviantart.com/ That's a tough one, but if I had to pick one artist I'd probably go with zhbu, aka Kimbia28. I fell in love with her art style as soon as I saw her Spyro fan art. She draws that purple dragon like nobody else. (except maybe DaffoDille
) If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be? -Another tough one. adjeca.deviantart.com/ I'd say Adjeca because I would love to be able to see his vast Spyro collection in person. We could probably talk about Spyro all day. XD
How has a fellow deviant impacted your life? -Not that I can think of.
What are your preferred tools to create art? -Just the basics: sketch paper, a pencil, an eraser, plain colored pencils (Crayola or Roseart, nothing fancy) and some kind of reference.
What is the most inspirational place for you to create art? -When I'm at home I usually draw my stuff in the living room while listening to music on my mp3 player. When I'm at school I work at the desk in my apartment.
What is your favourite DeviantArt memory? Becoming friends with BlueMario1016 and creating the Spyro Marching Band series of fan art drawings for him.

Also just a quick serious question. Are my watchers out there? I know I haven't been posting a lot of stuff recently, mainly because I've been busy and haven't had a lot of time to sit down and draw something for an hour plus. I've also mostly run out of older things to upload, so I don't have the luxury of pulling something out and uploading it without actually creating it. I have several things planned and I hope to draw and upload them between now and the end of the year. I do art mainly for myself, but it's nice to be able to display it publicly on a site like this. It lets me get feedback and talk with other artists about things we all enjoy and have in common. I don't really care about having a huge following but it would be nice to know that some people keep up with me. If no one looks at my art then what's the point of uploading it? Please leave a quick comment, just so I know I still have people that care about what I upload. Thanks everyone!

5. "I don't know. Let's just get in the jet and get out of here..."
6. "Well... That wasn't the reaction I was expecting..."

3 Years on DA (Late) and Summer Plans
Anyway, I also wanted to tell you guys about my plans for summer. I'm graduating high school this year (on May 17 actually) so my parents planned a little vacation as a graduation present. I'm going to Egypt! YES! I've been fascinated with ancient Egypt (and ancient civilizations in general) ever since I was little. One of the big reasons I love the Tomb Raider series so much is because you get to travel all over the globe and visit ancient ruins that you probably wouldn't get to see in real life. I'm so excited to see the pyramids! I've been especially fascinated with the Great Pyramid of Khufu and getting to see it first hand is going to be absolutely awesome. I hope we can go inside!
Of course I'll be taking a BUNCH of pictures and I might upload the best ones here on dA to share. Won't that be fun? The sad part is we're only there for four and a half days so we won't get to see everything I would want to but I'm still super excited just to go to Egypt! That's not all though! After that I'm going to Amsterdam in the Netherlands! My parents actually have friends that live over there so I'm going to be spending two weeks there with them! I've actually been to Holland once before but it was when I was six so I hardly remember anything! I've been wanting to go back and now I finally am!
Our friends there said they might even take me to Germany or maybe even France too! How cool is that!? They said that driving to another country in Europe is like driving to another state here. I'll be sure to take lots of picture there too of course! So those are my main plans for the summer. I'll be gone from June 21st until July 11th. I'm not sure if I'm taking my laptop or not so don't be surprised if I don't upload anything for about three weeks! I won't be in the US! XD Alright. I've got some business to take care of so I'm out! See you next time!
I'M SO OLD!
Also, I know I haven't been uploading art as regularly as I used to. I've just gotten really busy and really only work on it in advisement, which is a class at school that is only about 30 minutes long. We just do whatever in there so that's when I work on my art. I'm nearly done with my most recent project and plan to have it uploaded by the weekend. Hopefully when I get out in May I should have much more free time to work on stuff.
That's it! Smartguy123 OUT!
