For ze ouine!

2 min read
Most of my submission hee are usually done for different contests on online forums or similar. I usually lack a certain amount of creativity to look for inspiration on my own. Those contests with different rules usually give a frame for weird ideas to appear. The nice thing with them, is that they are usually not aimed "for the Art" (I wouldn't stand a chance if it aimed to make the prettiest piece of art with the best composition or lighting) and I don't feel "ashamed" to share my low-def poorly-composed paint drawings or similar.

The other nice thing is that, it sometimes lead me "to the award". I haven't been very active here the last year, but before that, I was awarded by 2 of those. I wanted to share these little successes here ^^:

  • Canard PC Crossover Contest:
Contest organized by the french videogame magazine "Canard PC" about crossing over 2 videogames for an hopefuly fun result. Result published in the issue n°307 as well as in the special issue n°19

  • The Item Shop's Super Geek Night fanart contest

The item shop is a "geek store" in munich who organize a big party once a year calld the "Super geek night". As part of it they organized a fanart contest about the "super geek knight", the mascott of the party. Here again I was delighted to learn they appreciate my "art" (feels weird to call it art)

  1. How long have you been on DeviantArt?
    10 Years according to my profile, though I am "active" since less than a year.

  1. What does your username mean?
    Well, it was the name of my character in the RPG of a fanzine I participated a while ago called Leekatt. It's a contraction between Naity my main nick (evolution from Nightmare Theater when I realized after puberty that tr00 3vils nicks lead nowhere) and Dimebag Darrell who died short before I created it. 

  2. Describe yourself in three words.
    Paint. Unshaved. Hungry.

  3. Are you left or right handed?
    Right

  4. What was your first deviation?
    Depressive giraffe drama by NaityDhimDarell

    As I remember it, there was no particular purpose beside "let's try to understand the process of turning a sketch into a digital picture". I wanted to understand my artist friends and how did the magic of their fingers turn into art. And I wanted it to be stupid too. Don't remember how the idea came, but when it was there I tried to "do everything good" (research on giraffs proportions, sketch the articulations, remove, redo, ink, scan, isolate ink, texture, light). After the attempt of light, I "quitted". I decided it is as good as it was gonna be - and nobody cares about the ugly background, the non realistic lightening, the non readable font. Those are just details.

  5. What is your favourite type of art to create?
    Paint art

  6. If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
    Any, I'm not an artist. Acting would be nice. Dancing would be hilarious.

  7. What was your first favourite?
    Yetsin by Marmottegarou
    Apparently after I bought it in a convention as a poster (unfortunately long gone in printed form)

  8. What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
    Digital art

  9. Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
    :iconmarmottegarou: I really love her recent diaviations!

  10. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
    Hard to say. I only follow people I know IRL, which both limit the scope of deviants I "know they exists" and those I "haven't met in person" yet.

  11. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
    Yes, probably. That would be :iconnephyla:. First of all because it's a bit because of her and her husband that I started drawing / writing. Secondly because after the start, following her privatelz and artisticaly realy opend my eyes on what it means to make job out of drawing / writing. 

  12. What are your preferred tools to create art?
    MS Paint

  13. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
    Most great ideas started in a bar late at night with a (tiny little) bit of alcohol and a notepad.

  14. What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
    The first time somebody fav'd one of my paints ^^.
