DeviantArtistQuestionnaire

Might as well, #DeviantArtistQuestionnaire

1. How long have you been on DeviantArt?
8 years

2. What does your username mean?
My user name refers to a race of dragon shifting people in one of my stories. 
Draz is their word for dragon and wyverns and Zi is generally their word for "people". So, loosely translated as "dragon people".
Elder is a title they use for the oldest members in small clans that serve as mentors and in cities it refers to the highest ranking members of their priesthood. 

3. Describe yourself in three words.
Funny, proud and sarcastic

4. Are you left or right handed?
Right handed

5. What was your first deviation?
I erased it but the oldest one in my gallery right now is from 2012


6. What is your favourite type of art to create?
I love doing comics or parodies. I really enjoy drawing expressions so any kind of art that allows me to do that I like. 

7. If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
Semi-realism

8. What was your first favourite?
It's in storage now -__-  But this is pretty close!

Back when Naruto was cool....

9. What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
I tend to do a lot of animal art, especially large carnivores (canine, felines). I do like to fave similar art but I'm also into creature design, landscape painting and environment design (fantasy and sci-fi) and semi-realistic human art.

10. Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
This is a hard one, I guess I'll go with the first one that popped into my head and say Phobs since I like pretty much everything they draw/paint.

11. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
All my friends! But especially RedbuzzarddArt , Umbrafen , akllozz , CrazedRandomness , Innali , MorganLeslee and a fuckton of other people to be honest. 

12. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
Wow. Loaded question. I guess I'm going to have to mention RedbuzzarddArt here along with Umbrafen. I was about to give up on art forever until a funny comment I made on one of Nadia's pictures started a friendship I didn't think was possible. I had been watching her art for years but I rarely spoke to her (or anyone else for that matter). But when I did we bonded over the most ridiculous lame jokes and our love of drawing big cats. Years later we can talk about anything from global warming and animal conservation to hot dudes and fart jokes. This encouraged me to interact with other artists and I managed to make more friends that shared my love of art and this motivated me to continue improving my skill. Which leads me to Umbrafen ! I had seen her art around for some time before we even spoke. Once I got into ARPGs I was drawn to her attention to detail in creating her creatures and I took a chance applying to become admin of her group Asotus. For some reason she picked me and we've been chatting nearly everyday since then. We have a lot of things in common so we can talk about anything while trading ideas back and forth. Not to mention how in love she is with me cause I'm so sexy and charming.

13. What are your preferred tools to create art?
A tablet and Paint Tool Sai or ballpoint pen on thick paper. 

14. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
My room, with some music that fits the mood of what I'm drawing. I do get ideas of what to draw or write in the shower or on the road. It's a two step process I guess.

15. What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
A personal one would be getting my first client for the first round of commissions I ever did. I believe it was Malibu-Maws if I'm not mistaken. 
Community related though, I still remember the Mudkip thing.
