Deviation Actions
Another dAmn Interview! is an interview series I've started up where I interview a deviant who is regular in the dAmn/Chatroom area of
deviantART, and ask them to share their initial and current opinions on thatarea of the site. I'd love some suggestions
from you about how it can be improved if you have any, and any other questions you thinkshould be asked. Thank you!
1. When did you start using dAmn compared to how long you've been on dA?
I've only been on dA going on 2 years now, but I started using dAmn shortly after, maybe 3 months after I joined dA back in I believe September or October of 2010
2. Did you find yourself drawn to any chatrooms in particular when you first started using them?
Most definitely! I was very curious about them, and was thrilled to be able to meet new people that shared similar hobbies as me.
3. Have you made any friendships while using dAmn?
Of course! I think most of the friends that I've made on dAmn I've met going into chats for events and whatnot like Staff Appreciation Week and deviantHEART.
4. Are there any rooms you would recommend other deviants visit?
#devart #seniors & #communityrelations for starters. They are pretty friendly and helpful there
5. Which medium of art was your first love?
Photo manipulation! I've always loved to edit photos until I got my hands on photoshop, then I started with manips and it's a match made in heaven
6. What emoticon / graphic is your favourite to use in dAmn?
oh my goodness, there's too many!
7. What chatrooms do you usually hang out in?
#devart #seniors #communityrelations #devheart #fun4fun #sharezone & #thedarkangelgathersare probably my tops
8. Some people are scared to join dAmn because of the amount of deviants using it - do you have any words of advice?
Don't be afraid. I know the first few times I entered a chatroom, I was definitely shy and just kind of observed. That's okay! Take your time and when your ready, just start blabbing away!
9. What was your impression of the chatrooms before you started using them?
I was actually pretty curious about it, I had been in chatrooms previously on other websites that were just random chit chat but on here I was thrilled to have chatrooms that focused on art!
10. Is there anything else you would like to add?
Just have fun. It's a great way not only to make friends, but also to ask for help and improve on your art too
Know someone you think I should interview? Note me!
Well... hi!
Testing... Testing... Is this thing on?
Hooo boy, it certainly has been a moment since I was here, huh? It's always an experience coming back here after a while away and this time certainly is no different! I don't know how many of your lovely faces are still around but if you're reading this - I hope you're doing okay! ❤️
Things have certainly changed a lot since I was last here, namely:
- I finished my Masters degree
- I now work in the video games industry
- I live with my wonderful partner, Wren, with our two dogs and cat
- I'm happy
I'm not entirely sure what to do with my dA account - whether I should strip it down a
I miss Da
I've been thinking a lot about Da recently (it's so strange typing it in a different way, I need to get used to that!) and how much I miss it. I miss the people and the sense of warmth and how nice it was to be involved in a community, and I miss you guys. :)
I really want to get back into things, so I'm gonna try hopping into the chats and the forums again from time to time - I won't be there constantly but I think it'll be nice to ease myself back into things. I want to get back to how I was when I used to be active here and having a blast doing what I did - which was talking to you guys, meeting new people and just being on Da in general.
Meeting my World
It's kinda weird how life works. Some people enter it and they may hang around for a little while and then drift off, or some people will stay for a few years and go. Then every so often you'll meet this one person who changes your life completely and reminds you every day of how lucky you are that things happened in life which made the two of you meet.
In case you haven't realised by now I'm talking about my best friend - Madfairy7 (https://www.deviantart.com/madfairy7). We met here on dA nearly 6 years ago through the Forums and while we were close then, I don't think we've ever been closer than we are now. It gives me tummy butterflies just thinking about it. :'D

Life Block
WoooOooOOooOOO angsty journal title!
Hi dA, how have you been? I hope everyone had an awesome Christmas & New Year and that you're all doing well. :) This is going to be a rant/release journal so you can't say I didn't give you fair warning before you read on!
I'm going through an intense block at the moment and it's scary. It's mostly emotional - I'm in a pretty bad place and that means that my motivation is gone and my art is suffering for it, too. I'm still at uni but I'm not even close to hitting the targets I've got set for myself which is kinda distressing. I adore my course and Games Design is what I want to spend the rest of my
