Fifteen. Jeepers. There are brick and mortar businesses that fail within 15 years, so it's awesome that DA's had sticking power for all this time. On the up and up...
- How long have you been on DeviantArt?
Let's see. TripleFault was my first DA account, and he appears to have signed up somewhere over nine years ago. Not active at all, though, until I joined staff in '11. - What does your username mean?
Well, my name is Imran Nazar. You get the idea. If you want the story about "TripleFault", that's a whole 'nother thing and a lot more nerdy. - Describe yourself in three words.
Don't Want To. - Are you left or right handed?
Right. I'm atrocious with my left hand, at really anything. - What was your first deviation?
But I was taking photos before then. That particular one is from the beach in Antalya, and there's a whole series of photos from the solar eclipse that passed through there, that I should dig out and upload sometime. - What is your favourite type of art to create?
I like to think of myself as a fair-to-middling writer, so literature: science fiction in particular. I always tend to run out of words after 600 or so, though. Need to work on my character development, I'm told. - If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
Oh, gee. Probably manga or something similarly styled. Things like the venerable Jet Set Radio, that kind of cel-shaded look. - What was your first favourite?<da:thumb id="273508167"/>
I instantly thought this was just fantastic. I don't favourite much (and I probably should more), but that just struck me. - What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
Landscapes feature a lot. I gravitate towards photos where people are either conspicuously missing, or irrelevant.
- Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
Burtn lives in a beautiful part of the world, and has some astonishing landscapes taking full advantage of the scenery.
- If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
Probably copperrein or Erzsabet; we run into each other occasionally on dAmn, and it seems that meeting them would be a fun time. - How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
I'll take a leaf out of helloandre's book here, and briefly mention the many late-night conversations and adventures with pachunka and allixsenos. - What are your preferred tools to create art?
Keyboard. It's a little facetious to treat the code that one writes as art, but very occasionally it can be raised to a higher form, something elegant and creative. Doesn't happen very often for me, of course. - What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
When I'm writing (be it code or something fiction-y), it's almost exclusively from the couch. As long as I'm comfortable, my mind can roam. - What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
Traipsing (well, being towed by pachunka) around the Montparnasse district of Paris, in the wee hours of a summer morning.
Montparnasse Tower is, in our considered opinion, a vertical assembly building for the French space programme. Don't tell anyone.
