Celebrating DA's 15th birthday, I thought I would like to join this questionnaire thingie.

1. How long have you been on DeviantArt? For a most 9 years since December 6th 2005. And since then, it's been on and off DA ever since, though I would never leave or deactivate my account for good. It's just that sometimes I have extreme artist block which causes me to go quiet and depressed. But I do come back later....a few months or shorter than a week. Ensuring I'm not gone for good. However, I do feel a bit shame to myself for not posting anything new, I work things slooooooooow and sometimes to the point of being procrastinating and postpone to the next time (or year)

2. What does your username mean? It doesn't technically mean anything. However, it's in fact the name of an alien race I have created. Also, Thevakien... "Thevada-" = A mixture of this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deva_(Bu… and this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramakien…;
Just wanted something different username which has never been used before. 
Other than that, my previous username was "Pygmyink", it was a name from a character of mine.
But I feel this one I like it more. It's unique so to speak :D

3. Describe yourself in three words.
This is like selling yourself to a company, they need to know your qualities...
- Friendly
Sarcastic 
- Geek girl ;D

4. Are you left or right handed?
I'm a right-handed person, though I can also be ambidextrous, 99% right-handed 1% is left-handed.

5. What was your first deviation?
Uh....To be honest? I have posted a lot... and haven't paid much attention to it cause most of them is in the scrap yard. I will post it as soon as I find it or if you wish, you may go through the scrap yard yourself (save me a lot of hard work).

6. 
What is your favourite type of art to create?
Semi-realism. Extraterrestrials, monsters, ghosts, goblins, ghouls etc., you know, creepy things. :] Less 
I like to deal with traditional and digital art. I like it mostly to draw with pen, it gives you a challenge and gives you no choice but to accept the mistakes you do and learn from it (I wouldn't say to ignore it completely but to learn from it and also accept it). You'll also not wasting your eraser too much.

7. If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
....My own. Because there's nothing more original than mastering your own style and get that satisfaction of success. You know it's unique and original and it's your own.

8. What was your first favourite?
That's gonna be difficult to track it back 9 years ago. Are you nuts?? 

9. What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
Sci-fi related (ORIGINAL), to break it out more specific; cyberpunk, extraterrestrial, otherworldly planet, futuristic, post-apocalypse, dystopian.
Fanart related; video game & movie. It's varied, I fave most of them which I find interesting, get inspired by and find it funny, and also well-done...Though every art is fine already, it's just some capture your interest the most.
Movies.
Original art, stuff that people create and it's their own idea and creativity.
Horror related, both original and fanart. 

10. Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
Check out those on the "Halls of Fame" on my page - list is ongoing in case you're wondering (haven't updated or added new DA artist lately, I will have to explore more later).

11. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
A lot to mention on here, but I'm either shy or unworthy to meet those who I favored (those on the "Halls of Fame" box on my front page).

12. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
Well, I get a chance to broad my artistic skill by learning from fellow deviants. I admire the courage and the thirst for knowledge and to improve art is immense, kinda like we can learn from each other since we are on the same boat.
So, I am on DA to enjoy other artists' works and at the same time to improve my own artistic creation.

13. 
What are your preferred tools to create art?
Various of pens: Mostly Faber-Castell Ballpen, Pigma Micron Pen,
BiC Ballpoint and something like those things........
Pencils: Mechanical and standard type (Staedtler Mars Lumograph), Derwent color and something along the way....
Digital: A.Photoshop CS6 + Wacom Tablet Intous4

14. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
My shrine (bedroom/working space - though, it should be separated but since having a bigger space is out of the question, therefore, improvised is the only solution.

15. What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
DevArt-thieves getting busted.
Each pest DeviantArt staff catches, gives me hope which show me they've come one step closer to its goal to eliminate art-thieves infestation.

;D
