STATUS: OPEN!
→ I'll accept requests!
I got the idea that I feature one of my watchers anyone every Saturday - Everyone who wants to be featured here should send me a note. It should include links/thumbs to 5 deviations of yours and answers of these questions: Why this username? What's the story behind?
How long are you a deviant?
WHY are you a deviant?
What does art mean to you?
What do you love about being an artist? What do you dislike?
How do you work as an artist?
Do you have any idols?
Do you accept commishs, requests or art trades? If yes, where can we find your prices/rules?
A quote you love or an advice that helped you very much with your work?
An advice for other artists?
Anything else to say?
But you can be featured only once!
The 'waiting list'

Why this username? What's the story behind?
Umm... i don't know it just popped into my head while typing, but maybe it's because i love black colour and roses so yeah, maybe this is the reason
How long are you a deviant?
from 11 july 2012
WHY are you a deviant?
becaus i wanted to share my art
What does art mean to you?
It means everything for me, when i'm sad the only thing that make me happy is drawing, so, you can say it makes my mood better
What do you love about being an artist? What do you dislike?
I don't know, maybe i feel a little bit special because I think my digital art is good as i'm using a mouse, but ofcourse there are many artists out there who are better then me. I don't really know what i dislike about being an artist, I guess nothing
How do you work as an artist?
I just draw
Do you have any idols?
Ofcourse yes, I have kagaya, takaki, shu, mark crilley, naschi, sophie-chan and many others
Do you accept commishs, requests or art trades? If yes, where can we find your prices/rules?
No i don't make any of these.
A quote you love or an advice that helped you very much with your work?
an advice: don't listen to the people who say negative things about you're art, if you listened to them you'll hate to draw and you'll never be an artist
An advice for other artists?
the same advice as the one above
Anything else to say?
Hope that people will like my art and watch/comment/fav./critique me

oh, I'm sorry, maybe you haven't read it, but the next features I'll accept in January next year. So maybe you could send me this in January, so you'll be featured next year in Febrary or so. I just think it's unfair to others who then won't have a real chance to get featured because they are 'too late'. The maximum is 3 months, I hope you do understand this
Yet, I look forward to recieve this again (it would be nice if you could send a note then).

This is an awesome way to feature others! Can I feature this in my articles about advanced featuring? Also, I'd like to try this idea too
Why this username? What's the story behind?
-Fluf-studios: Originally, when I first joined dA, I was to make it a hub for my work related to "Fluf-Studios", a project that has gone on a long hiatus. You're thinking, "Oh, so if or when you get a PM, you'll change it?", but my answer to that is this: No. Nada. I love the name. It gives me my individuality. And it adds to my list of nicknames.
How long are you a deviant?
-Two years, to be exact. However, I started being active starting this year.
WHY are you a deviant?
-Why not? I am an artist for life, in many mediums, in many aspects. I draw, write, sing, dance, and maybe some acting. dA is the perfect place for me.
What does art mean to you?
-Well, for one thing, it had been with me all my life. I drew this and that. Not a day goes by when I don't doodle. No, really. I can't remember a day where I didn't draw. Then there's the fact it's really a good way of expressing myself, you know? Of course, everyone feels the same way. It was also a bonus to draw out the characters I had formed in my head. art is beautiful, regardless of the technique, the skill of the artist, the time, the medium, everything. Art is art as long as it isn't stolen. That is what art means to me. Everyday, I fall in love with a lot of stuff, and thanks to dA, I know I'm not alone.
What do you love about being an artist? What do you dislike?
- I love to have the ability to draw out whatever's in my head, really. That's just how messed-up original I am. Well, I don't see the cons in being an artist, except art theft and other things that ruin someone's day. Whenever there's a fight about art theft, it would be annoying to look at. Really, I just don't get it at all.
How do you work as an artist?
- Well, all I need is somewhere to draw, and something to draw with. I can listen to music to perk me up, but if I'm somewhere where that's not possible, like school, I can draw perfectly fine without it. I don't really like people watching me draw. I just don't.
Do you have any idols?
I have tons, like , , , , , , and then there's and , excellent writers. I have more, but it'd be a long list.
Do you accept commishs, requests or art trades? If yes, where can we find your prices/rules?
Indeed I do. Point Commishes over here:[link]
A quote you love or an advice that helped you very much with your work?
- Uhm... Can I give one of my own? "Art is good as long as it's legit."
An advice for other artists?
- Don't steal other's work. Or trace. Or hotlink. Or anything that's just wrong. Free lineart and bases are fine, just give credit. When you do however, use the lineart and base as reference or a guide to improve yourself. The point is, your work, your effort. If you put more effort, the faster you'll improve.
Anything else to say?
Hi mom. I'm being featured.

thank you
of course you can feature it but at the moment, you're the last one I'll accept for the features (so, lucky you!) because otherwise it would be unfair for others. You'll be featured at the last Saturday in January, so be a little patient.
If you want to copy the idea, just do (because featuring people with an interview ain't really new, aye?)

Why this username? What's the story behind?
It's the username that I had when I "discovered" the Internet, and Internet, for me, it's the only place when I can say my opinion and meet other people without being teased. That's really important for me. Also, I like that word.
How long are you a deviant?
For only 4 months, unfortunatly.
WHY are you a deviant?
Because I want to meet other artists and hear their opinions. They give me hope and make me believe in my dreams.
What does art mean to you?
Art means a lot of things for me. It represents my dreams and emotions.
What do you love about being an artist? What do you dislike?
I like being an artist because I can express my feelings through my drawings. But, I dislike being an artists because sometimes I'm not able to like my own drawings. I think it's a thing that a lot of artists go through.
How do you work as an artist?
I don't really understand this question, but I'll try to answer. I have always to be alone when I draw, in silence or sometime with music. I sketch and draw on my computer.
Do you have any idols?
My idols are all the people that are fighting for their dreams.
Do you accept commishs, requests or art trades? If yes, where can we find your prices/rules?
Yes, but I had never done any of them before. I would like to draw something for other people.
A quote you love or an advice that helped you very much with your work?
There are a lot of quote that helped and help me with my work. I can't decide which is more important, they all are.
An advice for other artists?
Don't be afraid. We all can do it.
Anything else to say?
I'm glad I had the permission to post here. Thank you

Why this username? What's the story behind?
I really love hetalia (anime) and russia was one of my favorite characters so I combined that with my name and his little catch phrase.
How long are you a deviant?
Seven months, though I had one years ago I never used.
WHY are you a deviant?
Because I really love getting insparation from other artists and I hope that my art can be a insparation to others
What does art mean to you?
Art is my air and food. I love and i proably couldnt' live without it
What do you love about being an artist? What do you dislike?
I love creating something out of nothing and just letting my mind wonder. My only complaint would be that art suppiles are expensive.
How do you work as an artist?
I usually turn on some music and depending were my mind wonders, I either sketch it out or create in on a digital surface.
Do you have any idols?
The ancient Greeks and Romans
Do you accept commishs, requests or art trades? If yes, where can we find your prices/rules?
Yep! You can find my prices in my journal [link]
A quote you love or an advice that helped you very much with your work?
One from my art teacher: Art isn't what you do in the class room it is what you do out of the classroom.
An advice for other artists?
Don't stick to the norms. Be creative, let your mind take you to places never thought before and then just do it.
Anything else to say?
Thanks for letting me post >_<

thank you for answereing! I love the quote by your teacher, btw
I'll set you on the list, so it can take some time until you'll be featured because there were many who answered maybe check this journal sometimes, so you can get to know other artists - but of course I'll send you a link to the journal when you're featured.

Virus-VRS [2012-10-29 13:43:33 +0000 UTC]
Hi, this Journal looks very fun- is a good idea thanks for do it XD;
I try to answer all the question.
Why this username? What's the story behind?
Well my username is virus-vrs, the true is a silly history., I´m only write this name, because I want a nickname with the letter "V", and Virus sounds nice.
How long are you a deviant?
2 years
WHY are you a deviant?
Well DA, is fantastic community, because know people that love the art, and grown up with every commentary, critique, etc. and I didn´t have this type of appreciation for my artworks, in another place.
What does art mean to you?
I don´t know, I suppose that art for me, is think in something that you belive or dream and do it reality.
What do you love about being an artist? What do you dislike?
Dislike: Some new artist are very arrogants, (Not everyone just many).
Like: A lot of new artists have nice dreams and very good ideas.
How do you work as an artist?
Mmm, the question is about my process?, or work for money?, I don´t understand.
Do you have any idols?
Yes, a lot of my idols I knew for Deviant art.
They are many of the most awesome artist of the world
well this is a really short list, for all the artist that I like.
Do you accept commishs, requests or art trades? If yes, where can we find your prices/rules?
Yeah I love to do art for new people.
I don´t have fixed prices and sometimes and have troubles for this jeje.
But if you want one commision, just let me know an we can talk.
A quote you love or an advice that helped you very much with your work?
Many time before I interview to 4 of my idols ( ), everyone have differents ideas, and the answers for my questions was with different words (logical).
But the fundamental for the four was the same, Just Practice a lot and have fun with that you like to do, the good things one day come.
An advice for other artists?
Just Practice a lot, have fun with that you like to do, and for love of god don´t be arrogant and try to help the others.
Anything else to say?
Just thanks for this space, I really enjoy to do an answer interview
I really love this so if you liked I can try to give you a space in this group We can submit a Journal for this interview, and all the interested members can answer it, What do you think?
Again thank you for this space and one more think-- sorry for my bad english XD;

inky-thoughts In reply to Virus-VRS [2012-10-29 21:12:01 +0000 UTC]
that sounds very nice
it was rather mend as the process, if you have special things that give you ideas, etc, whicht medias you prefer and stuff.
I like the idea of giving space to this journal because they feature different people. Could it be possible that I can upload the Saturday Feature there weekly? I think it would be a great opportunity for rather unknown people (and I don't feel so egocentric because I don't advertise myself )
Oh, and don't worry about your bad English, I'm no native so I don't really notice mistakes..

Virus-VRS In reply to inky-thoughts [2012-10-29 23:54:34 +0000 UTC]
Okk about the answer I prefer digital mediums because is easily repair if you have a mistake, and you can draw a lot of poses of the same picture, is different with a traditional medium because you have to erase one and one again.
But I love traditional mediums too, in special pencils, charcoal, and my favourites-inks.
----
okk about the group - We have the Saturdays empty, just let me talk with the founder and the co-funders community, but almost is a fact if you like the idea- I don't think we have any problem.
But theres a problem, because I think that I lot of people will like to submit they´re answer, we have -1800 members- theres a lot of weeks. -XD-

inky-thoughts In reply to Virus-VRS [2012-10-30 21:08:24 +0000 UTC]
well, I made a 'waiting list' - if there are so many, maybe some don't want to be featured because it takes too long. Or I will have smaller features in the week where two or three will be featured together.
But it would be really awesome if we could do it that way

Virus-VRS In reply to inky-thoughts [2012-11-03 00:03:37 +0000 UTC]
I´m sorry for answer very late, but I don´t have the oportunity to talk with our founder.
Anyway I think in how it works easily because to the community don´t like very much the idea, and they are right because there´s a lot of members, but let me think in new ideas and I comment to you.
