I found this quiz over in *Aryenne's journal, and I felt I wanted to give it a go myself (I should probably go to bed, it's school tomorrow... but ah! who cares?) Here it goes:

1. Why did you join this site?
- I first was a member over at good ol' The Lion King Fan Art Archive (wooh, long name there!), and saw a few members there were also members on dA. So I went with the flow and decided to create an account here as well. And as time passed by, I drew more and more TLKFAA off-topic things (meaning other stuff than lions) and left that site for DeviantART.

2. What does your username have to do with you?
- A sort of nickname for my surname that a friend made up some years ago (not sure if she uses it anymore, though).

3. What is your current icon of?
- A head shot of my OC the lizard creature Lizzy.

4. How many watchers do you have and how many people are you currently watching?
- I have 53 watchers, and watch 134 myself (if you have any tips of talented artists, please let me know, 'kay?).

5. Do you have more than one account?
- Not on dA, no.

6. Name 3 of your favorite artists on DA.
- (there are of course more, but hey! I could only choose three)

7. What deviant do you admire because of their personality?
- and , because they both are my two wonderful friends, who always turn my life here in Växjö into such a blast!

8. How many people on here do you actually know in reality? Post their avatars.
- The two ladies mentioned above, plus , whom I went to high school with.

9. Do you comment, fave, or both?
- I always comment on a piece I feel commenting on, and if it got something special that makes my heart beat, I also fave it. There are no faving-without-commenting from my side.

10. What do you typically post on deviantart?
- Quite a mix, I think. Lately though, it's been lots of pencil made realistic portraits. And you will see more of them, that's for sure, 'cause I just love doing them! Unfortunately, at the moment I've got no tablet, so there will be some time before you see any digital artwork from me again (and I had just purchased a new Photoshop Elements software and everything, d'oh!).

11. Do you participate in clubs or contests here on DA?
- Yep, you can check my clubs down at the bottom of my journal. And regarding the constests, I love participating in them, and have entered a few this far. There's such a great inspiration source for your artwork, I think, participating in a contest.

12. What is your most popular deviation?
- Most commented: Final diagnosis, most faved: Fathers of sons and most viewed: Farewell TLKFAA (all three start on the letter of "F", lol).

13. What's your favorite submission in your favorites gallery?
- That has to be the neverending story. I'm such a huge fan of the book, and this drawing is such a great interpretation of it, I think.

14. What are the things you wish you could draw better?
- Well, all things, you want to improve, right? OK, to be more precise, I would love to improve my background drawing skills. Drawing nature and landscapes: trees, rocks (especially rocks)... you name it.

15. Are you a subscriber?
- Not at the moment. I think I need to spend those money on other things right now.

16. How many hours a day do you spend on DA?
- It really differs from day to day, depending on my mood, whether I've chosen to have a chilled out night in front of the computer or not. Tonight's is such a night. And such a night I perhaps spend 2 hours in front of dA. Something like that.

17. Are you a fast, slow, or medium typer?
- I think I dare say fast. But that is when I've figured out what to say, and which English words to use (logically, things take longer time for me to write than it'd done if it would've been Swedish texts I wrote here, since I'm not a native English speaker).

18. What is the most annoying thing people ask you?
- Haven't stumbled across anything like that this far. One time though, I had this person who commented really strangely and irrelevant on one of my deviations, whom I had a pretty aggresive comments conversation with later on.

19. What is the most annoying comment you get?
- See above; comments that's just randomly annoying and have nothing to do with the pictures.

20. What inspires you?
- Just about everything, I would say. Watching movies or TV shows has started to become a great inspiration source lately though, especially when it comes to human anatomy and shading.

21. Do you use any traditional media?
- Oh yes, right now I only use traditional media, 'cause of my lack of tablet. By heart I'm a pencil artist, but I've just very recently fallen in love with charcoal, and have also used watercolors a bit.

22. Do you associate people online with their icons?
- Sometimes. Especially if the icon consists of a human face, then you immediately associate the deviant with his or her icon.

23. Have you ever suggested a Daily Deviation?
- Only a couple of times actually. I feel I don't really have the time nor the motivation to.

24. Everyone has considered leaving DA once or twice. Have you? Why?
- Not leaving perhaps. But I've been inactive for long periods of times, when I just didn't care to update my gallery, read journals, comment on deviations etc. But in the end I always return to this site, when realizing how great of an art gallery it really is. My relationship with dA is pretty much of a roller coaster ride, I guess you could say.

Phew! Done! I hope you all enjoyed the read.
