How long have you been on DeviantArt?
I've no idea. This account I've had for about 3 years, but there were other accounts before that. There was mostly photography on them. I think maybe about 6 years? Long before I ever got into drawing and painting.

What does your username mean?
It's a lame pun I randomly came up with. The word is "archenemy" and my name is Emmy, so... I guess it stands for the better version of me? The improved arch me! Yay! ;D

Describe yourself in three words.
Calm, kind, chatty

Are you left or right handed?
Right.

What was your first deviation?
It was in an account that doesn't exist anymore. I can't quite remember, but it was probably some picture of a cat or a flower ;D
On this account, it's this: 

Fruit study by archemmy

What is your favourite type of art to create?
The kind I put some sort of meaning into. Those are also the most time-consuming and difficult to pull off, which is why I haven't made any. Hopefully that will change the near future.

If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
Uh, I guess hyper realism. Or something more fairytale-ish, like these:
(by the amazing Mike Azevedo)
Tony, the dragon by MikeAzevedo   Sivan, the devil eating dragon by MikeAzevedo  Pirate Merida by MikeAzevedo  shhhh by MikeAzevedo

I just love the style that reminds me of all the cartoons/films/books I grew up with. 

What was your first favourite?
On this account, this:

Illuminate by escume


What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
It has to be either: meaningful, inspiring, beautiful or just masterful (or a really awesome tutorial). But in general I appreciate beauty in all genres and styles of art. Meaning, purpose and message are most important to me. 

Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
I don't have an all-time fav. I like too many artists. Nod 

If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
I think I would want to meet :iconmsimoneaux20: He's awfully nice and has been a good friend.

How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
Mostly through friendship and kindness, lovely gestures and a nice comment or message that makes a random boring better. It's nice. I don't want to part ways with DA. I'm also not finding this special tingle in other places, don't know why. I guess I have a thing for DA.  Huggle! DeviantArt 

What are your preferred tools to create art?
I use Photoshop or pencil/paper.

What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
Any place, as long as I feel like it.

What is your favourite DeviantArt memory? 
I can't point out a single moment, but I guess the two things I enjoy the most is sharing my art and making new friends. I look forward to more of that. Heart 


I'd like to tag => :iconmsimoneaux20:

Inspiration and motivation - I always seem to lack one or the other.
In short - when I try to work hard (through motivation) I easily forget my main goals, I lose sight of what made me want to draw in the first place.
When I feel in touch with my goal, my inspiration, my purpose... It just seems unattainable on its own, because I don't have the skill nor the knowledge to make it happen.

So how do you stay motivated to work hard and improve without losing that spark that drives you? That goal?
Is it impossible? Should we settle? :movingon:

Merry Christmas everyone!

I really love the holidays, they always put me in a homely and snugly mood! ^_^

The picture below is from before I added Christmas decorations, but I think it transmits the mood just fine :D



Anyway, I know it's a bit early to make new years resolutions, but... to be honest I've never made any real ones one before, so I'm fairly excited. :happybounce:

It's not exactly a tradition in my country, so I'm definitely hoping it'll have some great motivational effects on me.
Anyway, I guess I'll start by making 5 resolutions now, think about them for the next 2 or so days and finally, drink to them on the 31st.

1. Draw every day. Make a "sketch of the day" tradition.
2. Eat healthier (like 80% fruit on a daily basis) and do more sports to improve my posture.
3. Go out less and spend more time working on fundamentals.
4. Meet more aspiring artists and/or people with similar interests (despite of number 3, don't quite know how I'll be going about this one).
5. Finish my school projects on time, well before the due date! (this is a big one)


I'm a really 'procrastinaty' type of person, so I'm gonna need some luck working through these things.

Btw, I really LOVE this emoticon => :leetcrab:

Happy holidays! =]
