If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
WOW! Good question! I'd have to say /Ai-chan. I've watched Ai-chan for as long as I can remember to be honest. And her art is SO amazing! Her creations are what I wish I could do and what I want to be like someday. Inspiration, to me, flows from her art like the waves of an ocean would. I really respect her and her style.

Mechanical pencil. Just one with an eraser is fine. And then when I'm feeling great about what I've created, maybe... JUST MAYBE... I'll color it or turn it into a Project Chrome piece!
What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
Home. They say that "home is where the heart is", don't they? Well it's always been at home, at the table, with my art supplies scattered EVERYWHERE around me completed with a cup of water and music playing super loud out of my headphones (usually Japanese music).
