1. How long have you been on DeviantArt? I think I've been posting regularly-ish for about two years but it may be a little longer... 2. What does your username mean? To be honest not very much, I made it up as a kid somehow, committed it to memory and it just feels odd not to use it now... 3. Describe yourself in three words. Childish. Loyal. Stubborn. 4. Are you left or right handed? Right although my left hand is useful for brute force, haha! 5. What was your first deviation? This:   (awfully drawn on both mine and !siamese-r-cute (https://www.deviantart.com/siamese-r-cute)'s part) We need to do that one again sometime for comparison :) 6. What is your favourite type

How are holding up? Because I'm a potato. So, portal reference aside, it has been a long time, a year to be slightly more precise so I decided to do an update kind of thing? Yeah, I'm not quite sure why myself but I'll go with it... I guess the biggest news is that I got a job (which is good as it's enabled me to save up a little for uni) and I have even more friends which is better (considering I had about 5 at this time last year and that they didn't get on with eachother). I even got to meet up with someone I hadn't seen for nine years which was amazing yet so strange. In other news: 5 DAYS UNTIL THE NEW FLORENCE+THE MACHINE ALBUM IS R

So I guess if I think about my deviantART story it starts with pictures like this: Before I even knew about DA I had wished for so long to become that person, the one who could draw really, really well. I constantly scanned google for images similar to this and tried to emulate the style with pencil and paper, the only method I had really considered. Beautiful illustrations like this and a wish started my journey. About three years later I joined DA I and frankly, didn't do much. I bought a tablet and had it hanging around for a couple months because I didn't have a clue what to do with it. Sure I played around with it but it frustrated me.
