DON'T BURN ME!
Eat that . Eat it.
What sort of artist would you most identify yourself as?
- Uh, the kind that draws stuff? I don't know. I suppose "illustrator" is the best I can come up with, since it seems to be a very general term and that's basically what I do. General stuff.
What would be your secondary identity?
- Dork. Can "art dork" be an identity? I am an art dork. The best art dork. Except not.
What forms of art do you dabble in, but don't excel at?
- Here at Berea, I've learned that I really like painting but suck at it on a level that transcends explanation. Aside from that, I'm kind of a crafty person. I'm not the best around and I don't get a chance to do it often, but I really like doing that kind of thing. Ask Ivan about how my eyes lit up when I was visiting and he decided to dress up his Pokedolls in homemade costumes and asked me to help.
How would you describe your 'style'?
- Angular? Blocky? I don't know. I like bold lines, bright colors, and I don't much like shooting for very fine details because I feel they get in the way of my favorite parts of a piece (namely, bold lines and bright colors). I like doing details in shading instead. I don't know how I'd describe it, though. P-pointy?
What medium do you favor most?
- Digital work, for the practical reason that I can afford to replace a tablet pen every once in a blue moon, but I can't afford to keep buying pencils and markers when I go through them like a fucking tornado. Also, I have access to all the colors. ALL of them. I like colors. I like colors so much.
What are your favorite subject matters?
- The three Ms: Monsters, Mythology, and Morrowind. I guess I could branch out and say that I like drawing shit from video games in general, and I do like illustrating the imaginary worlds in my head because I write better when I have something to look at to draw inspiration from. And stupid shit. I really like drawing stupid shit that makes me cackle like a mad woman.
What are your least favorite subject matters?
- I-I don't know? Still life? Backgrounds? Although I dislike one because I find it boring, and the other because I am bad at it.
List your Artistic Strengths
- Somebody once told me I was good with color? And Ivan tells me that I'm good with the use of textures. Aside from that... er, I don't know. I don't tend to see my strengths very well, and what seems like a strength to me one day is my biggest weakness the next.
List your Artistic Weaknesses
- E-everything? I think I can improve everywhere. My biggest weakness is probably inspiration, though. I have an exceedingly hard time coming up with ideas. When I do draw, it's usually spontaneous and... not very imaginative because I just did it for the sake of desperately wanting to do something and having no better ideas. Hence, a lot of PEOPLE STANDING or FACING LEFT or HEADSHOTS.
Which of the above weaknesses would you most like to see improve?
- Oh my god, I miss the days when I couldn't get my brain to shut up. ;_;
Adult Content. . . yes/no?
- I won't knock you for it, but it's not my cup of tea. I mean, I've dabbled, but even when I did? I was very "meh" about it. I could act enthusiastic, but there really wasn't any... enjoyment in it. It was just kind of... there.
Adult Subject Matter you favor?
- None? Again, I won't knock you for your tastes, but I'm not... a very... sexual person. At all. Unless you can count gore and cursing as "adult subject matter," I just don't much have any stock in it. *shrug*
Schooling/Training received in the arts?
- Uh. Well? I took a studio art class in high school. Then I taught myself. My old college was a technical college and didn't offer anything in the way of hands-on art (just some lecture courses), so I actually JUST NOW had my first ~official~ college art course this semester. It's a design course. *jazzhands*
Schooling/Training you'd still like to have?
- I want a real drawing class. There's also a printmaking class here I am vaguely aware of because I'm a janitor in the art department and I have to clean that floor every Thursday. It looks amazing and I am totally gonna take it.
Would you consider yourself prolific, or a 'quality over quantity' sort of artist?
- Er, quality over quantity, odd considering the fact I used to churn out crazy mad amounts of art every day. Anymore, I've become extremely slow, picky, and tedious about my work. I don't mean to be, I swear! It's just that I don't have time to do much, so what I actually do? I want to do it right.
Would you considering yourself a Fine Artist, or a Commercial Artist?
- Neither? I'm just me. I'm a... Me Artist.
Where would you like to be in five years?
- Alive. And, you know, improved somewhat. :D

I DON'T KNOW, I LIKE BRIGHT COLOURS, TOO.
Ironically, I got drawn into your art because of the vivid colors (that you used to use way back), and now I like it for the pointies. I DEMAND MORE PUSHI-STYLE ART.
Also, random aside: these memes are making me realize that I'm the only person among my group of friends who...draws exactly the way I do. You and Squeedge were saying things like you shoot for less subtle things or less line detail, and I'm just sitting here going, "BUT I...I DO THOSE THINGS." XD;
