1. How has a fellow deviant helped you grow as an artist?



Nearly everyone that's on my watch list has inspired me to do things that I wouldn't normally try. They're artwork has been an example to help me achieve more and I try my best to do that. Plus having someone like suzanne-helmigh send me a motivation message to keep on drawing was a great push to continue to create art.



2. If you had one bit of wisdom to share with fellow creators and world builders what would it be?



Just keep drawing, even if it's just a scribble. Thumbnails can become great ideas later on. I don't know how many times I've done a little scribble and come back to it months later and turned it into something amazing. Also Research, Reference and Review. It's always a good thing to look up something that you're working on, get photo references, it amazing how much it can improve your work. And be old school. Sometimes going back and doing an anatomy or life drawing class for a day can help revive the way you draw.



3. Tales of Symphonia

There's a scene in the snow town Flanoir with Lloyd who's the main character and Kratos (who's kinda a good guy/bad guy) who's his father and he tells his son how his mother died. It's a really touching scene. It made me paint a picture of Kratos in that landscape that has never left my wall. It was a real painful time in my life when I had lost a very close friend who had moved away and I felt really alone.

The story has never left me, nor will the painting on my wall. And it's also how I became a fan of the tales of series franchise. My friend returned who is now my fionsae and I continue to love the series.
