5 questions meme

asked by [livejournal.com profile] devilyouwere



1. When did you start drawing?

all my life? i really can't remember ever *not* drawing. but i asked my mother once, and she said i started at two, so i'll believe her. i don't remember much of what i used to draw when i was a kid, but i do remember that it took me a while to notice that people had necks. at 13 i got into the whole anime thing and my style suffered as a result. i started getting serious about it when i was 17, which was around the time i started thinking of going to art school once i was out of high school. i tried to start de-animeizing my style without very noticeable results. it didn't help that i was primarily into the zelda & gundam wing fandoms, where the majority of the fanart is in that style. but then i got into harry potter, and i never liked animeish portrayals of those characters (esp. older characters), so i started training the anime out of my personal style. it's still an on-going process to this day.

2. Who is your favourite secondary character on Supernatural?

does castiel still count as secondary? if so, him. if not... i like most of the secondaries, but my top 3 are bobby, pamela and lucifer (mostly nick!lucifer, but i liked samifer and jessicafer and nick's dead wife!lucifer too). and... i can't exactly say i LIKE zachariah, but he's a very effective character. like umbridge, sort of. i don't know anyone who likes HER, but most agree that the character is excellent. but i confess, i skipped like half of the first two seasons, so i can't really pick my favorites from there.

3. What is your default icon? Why did you choose this one?

i get this question a lot. i've had it as my default ever since i created this lj back in may 2006, and i had it for a while before that as my avatar in the zelda planet forums. i don't even remember how i found the photo, but you can see the full image w/ an explanation here. i like creepy images so i kept it. as you can see, it has nothing at all to do with doctor who. and neither do i, so your quotes are wasted on me.
i've thought about changing it, but honestly, i think it identifies me as much, if not more so, as my username, so i'm kind of attached to it.

4. Name one good childhood memory and why you adore it so much.

hmm... definitely my family vacations in olmué when i was 11/12. it was the 6 of us, plus a bunch of uncles and cousins. in total it must have been a group of about 15. i remember learning to swim, playing ping pong with my uncles and cousins until it was dark, going out horse-riding, having tea outside in the garden after an entire afternoon in the pool, playing hide-and-seek at night with the kids that were staying in the other cabins, playing super nintendo and staying up late telling scary stories. here's where we stayed.

5. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?

either canada or england, visiting [livejournal.com profile] aldehyde or [livejournal.com profile] fera_festiva respectively.

i'm not giving out questions cause this took too much time already and i'm supposed to be painting. >_>

EDIT! i inadvertently got into [livejournal.com profile] 22by7's brain and made her draw stuff. random naked knuckle-crackin' girl! adorable dean/cas with wing!hugs! i really need to learn to control these mind-controlling powers, otherwise i'll never conquer the world.

Man, I always loved the gas-mask picture. It's so surreal <3 I can see why people would assume Doctor Who, but it definitely is not from the show.

I love these "getting to know you" type posts.

It's funny how much we link certain images to people; I think I'd be completely weirded out if I saw anyone else's name appearing with that gas-mask icon.

i already have a wtf moment when i see people wearing the icons i make, seeing someone with the gasmask one would cause me the beginnings of a panic attack ("omg when did i post this??? OH WAIT THAT'S NOT ME. WTF WHY ARE THEY WEARING MY ICON. NOOO.") >_>

this is such a good meme! i love that place you stayed at on your vacation, it's gorgeous.

and my answer would've been the same for #5 with chile substituted for canada of course *big hugs*

my dad is itching to send me out of the country on an ~adventure~ for some mysterious reason so much that he offered to help me pay for the visit to you and fera. the man is crazy.

LOL OMG YOUR DAD IS THE BEST :D
what are his reasons for this adventure trip? [you should take advantage :D]

no idea. i suppose he wants me to me ~worldly and cultured~. me? i'm scared shitless of leaving the country on my own. i'd probably end up dead in a ditch somewhere.

awh well perhaps you should start small and travel within your continent on your own first before crossing the atlantic? travelling is fun! and gets so much easier once you've done it a few times.
