Deviation Actions
How long have you been on DeviantArt? I have been on DA for over a year now. Joined on August 2014, so I'm pretty new
What does your username mean? My first name is Steven and I was born on the 23rd of September. So I decided to combine the two things about myself and make them into the recognizable username that you see today
Describe yourself in three words. Curios. Humorous. Organized.
Are you left or right handed? Right handed
What was your first deviation? A fox with a top-hat and a mustache. I have no idea what thought process I had at the time but it was my first ever time drawing digitally so what better way to celebrate by drawing the most random thing I could come up with at the time!
What is your favourite type of art to create? Traditional Sketch Art with pencils and markers. I just love the feeling of freely sketching an idea of a scene or a character I have inside my head on a piece of paper. I've done that type of art since I was in 1st grade! I used to draw tons of animals, but recently I've been studying human anatomy and portraits so that I can draw people a whole lot more lifelike!
If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be? God, I would instantly jump to oil paintings, especially realistic portrait paintings! I have so much respect for people who can pull off a hyper-realistic oil painting of a scene or a person. It's just an awesome skill to master!
What was your first favourite? When I was browsing DA on my very first day there, this piece instantly sprang out to me. The characters and the colors, I just couldn't resist!
What type of art do you tend to favourite the most? Hyper-realistic digital artwork of people, sometimes epic war scenes as well. I also love fantasy artwork and just art that I know takes blood, sweat and tears to make so I favorite it because of how much respect I have for the artist spending so much time and effort to make an awesome piece!
Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist? Nebezial, hands down. He's art is funny, simplistic and uniquely his own. I can spot an artwork from him a mile away and that's amazing. I just love his style. He is also a comic artist and I love comic artist. They are the people that I want to be like someday!
If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be? Easy question, Nebezial obviously!
How has a fellow deviant impacted your life? Well, there was this guy named A-M-A-P (His account has been closed for some reason) who back in January, 2015 invited me to his group, Fantasy Legends! Back then, in January, I was growing weary of continuing to use deviant Art since I wasn't really meeting a lot of people and making friends. Then A-M-A-P commented on my profile about how he liked my work and wanted me to join his group. I was so surprised and happy at the same time! Finally I was going to be a part of something more. I was gonna be able to submit my work to a large audience, get feedback, make friends and improve overall. Because of him, I fell back in love with DA and I never looked back!
What are your preferred tools to create art? A 2B mechanical pencil, lots of different wooden pencils (from B to 8B), a really clean eraser, a metal sharpener, lots of 150-160 grams/meter paper and of course, Adobe Photoshop CS6
What is the most inspirational place for you to create art? Outside usually, near gardens or near the beach. I also like to make art in restaurants and finally, I love to sketch on my bed in my room with dim lights. Really brings out my creativity!
What is your favourite DeviantArt memory? When I first found out that Nebezial was giving away his awesome comic, Death Vigil, for free on DA, I instantly clicked that download button. I fell in love with the comic and I can thank DA and Nebezial for that! Another moment was talking to the guy who gave me my first comment ever on this piece I made a long time ago. Party Girl He was so supportive and nice. I guess his amazing comments were what made me realize that DA is the perfect website to help me to practice my art skills, while making lots of new friends! That was one of my favourite memories of DA, when I learned how awesome this community is!
