Well look at that. dA has hit quite a milestone at 15 years old. Lots of crazy stuff has happened since then, like becoming the biggest art site on the internet and stuff. Still younger than me, though. Maybe it'll catch up one day.
How long have you been on DeviantArt?On this account, 2553 days.
What does your username mean?"dehydromon" was a little moniker I started using for myself way back in the days when I was totally in love with Digimon. I still am today, but to a lesser degree. I was trying to find an easy-ish name to pronounce that was already used in the show. A couple of words later, I settled on dehydromon. I used that as my main online name for years, but I've recently updated to and identify more as TheChugsBoson.
Describe yourself in three words.Grandiloquent. Metacognitive. Penntransitphobic.
Are you left or right handed?Right handed, though I can do simple stuff like math, picking my nose, and watching TV without using my right hand. I know. Crazy, right?
What was your first deviation?I've actually deleted my first deviation since I first uploaded it, bit it was originally the pencil sketch of
this guy, which itself was heavily based off of
this sketch.
What is your favorite type of art to create?That's easier asked than answered. Seems to change from time to time because I'm too undedicated to any single art style to linger on it long enough to call it my "favorite". I guess if I had to choose, writing would be the one that's stuck with me the longest. Digital art seems to be something I'm decent at as well, but I really want to take a deeper leap into music,
If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?None of them. Being a master of an art style removes the potential for improvement, which to me is most important. I like to think that art is much more about the journey than the destination. Jumping straight to the destination takes away its value.
What was your first favorite?Appropriately, it was the deviation I based my first deviation off of.
What type of art do you tend to favorite the most?Lately? Almost exclusively pony art. (All of it has been designated to
CloudPone for easier navigation.) But I suppose my favorite art type to gawk at is digital art.
Who is your all-time favorite deviant artist?I'd be quite hard-pressed to single out a favorite, especially having not even touched the community or really immersed myself in the site to any degree in over a year. Ask me in a fortyear.
If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?TheMightyOctaviatorHow has a fellow deviant impacted your life?I don't know how to answer that. Probably because it's beyond midnight and I'm too tired to cogitate that heavily. Maybe also because I don't want to answer it for some outwardly-deep and unnecessarily complicated reason. Just kidding. Next question.
What are your preferred tools to create art?Whatever the medium demands at the time. Generally I prefer the standard keyboard and mouse, though. Cause literature and stuff.
What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?Places away from the messy complications of common architecture. Places with no noise pollution, light pollution, or general manmade mettles. But sometimes modern architecture provides its own kind of inspiration. Just depends on the project.
What is your favorite DeviantArt memory?Ah, the mysteries of life.
