How long have you been on DeviantArt?
Nearly 7 years. Wow...
What does your username mean?
Gutter Elven for Fool. Also a bit of a slangy French for "What do we do?".
Describe yourself in three words.
Gregarious, loyal, wordy.
Are you left or right handed?
Left Handed most of the time.
What was your first deviation?
I honestly don't remember this, but it seems I started with drawing stuff, not folding stuff.
What is your favourite type of art to create?
Origami! I love folding paper!
If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
Writing. I've always wanted to be a better writer. I have all these stories in my head that just don't want to come out on paper.
What was your first favourite?
This commission that was done for me of my Pathfinder OC:
What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
Either Vector art or Origami.
Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
I'd have to say Hoang Tien Quyet. He's one of me favourite artists in general so that helps.
If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
Same answer as 10. I feel I'd have a lot to learn and discuss about shaping paper and bringing it to life.
How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
Well, not just one, but having people respond to journals and comment on works is encouraging. Keeps me going sometimes.
What are your preferred tools to create art?
Paper and a smartphone (for reference images).
What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
Oddly enough, the local sushi place and bar. All of my personal creations were designed there. Usually while drinking.
What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
The mad scramble for Llama badges when they came out. My brothers and I always loved the word Llama...just rolls off the tongue... Lllllllllllaaaaaama. Heh.
Welp, this is me jumping into the deep end again. And I am so excited about it. I taught myself how to knit, purl, M1L and M1R, and K2T (I think that’s the abbreviation for knit 2 together to decrease), and now I think I’m ready for socks (the whole reason I’m learning to knit now). I've received some Knit Picks Stroll Tonal as practice yarn and I cast on last night. two at a time, toe up on circular needles. According to the women on my group this is the ONLY way to do it. and I've seen their results so I trust them.
This is going to be… interesting. If you want to follow along and have a Ravelry account, my username there is the same as here.
Other things I've been up to:
- My Pony got published here: snkhan.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.p…. IF you are interested in publishing models for the sake of having done so rather than for financial gain, and joining a fun project, keep your eyes on that forum for next year (it opens around October).
- Now I've started on a sheep for this year. or maybe a ram.
- Has anyone ever worked with a blintzed pig base. Folded one up last night and it doesn't' seem very practical, but interesting.
- Started watching Mudoch Mysteries. It's like CSI meets Sherlock Holmes in Toronto. So addictive and fun!
- Roasted a duck. I've been craving roast duck for about a month now, and I finally got to it. It's got a honey/molassas/chile glaze and is some of the most tender and delicious meat I've ever shredded. On the menu this week: Duck wraps with chickpea ragout on Chinese lettuce. Mmmmm. I'll be roasting more ducks this year.
