It's actually very late to do this, but my master once told me that it is better to be late than nothing, so Happy Birthday DeviantArt!
I can't believe you've been around longer than the time I know what 'Internet' actually means.

Anyway, I've fill out my share of  questionnaire so what's another one? I know I am collecting something, but I am honestly doing this for fun. I mean everyone do this for fun right?... right?
...
Aw hell, who am I kidding? I want the badge very badly! :x (Mad) 
So let's get to the business.

1. How long have you been on DeviantArt?
   If we are talking about my account, then it's 3 years, 1 month, and  4 days. But I knew DeviantArt longer than that. My first interaction with DeviantArt is actually around 2005, when I am still in my early stage of my journey as an artist. At that time I'm still poking around and still 'redrawing' people's drawing. Yeah at that time I didn't really draw using sketch, and jump forward to the final drawing. So I look for any drawing I could redraw, for practice purpose of course.

2. What does your username mean?
    The first word is basically my given name and the other is my nickname. I can tell you the story behind my nickname, but if you really want to know what my given name means, then we have to call my dead grandmother's spirit.
    My nickname was actually came from my diablo II character. I used to play it on a game center and everybody there just called anyone with their character's name and I have been using it ever since.
    The name itself actually came from an old strategy game called 'fantasy general'. He is the Hero unit that looked like a knight and since I'm always crazy about knight and stuff, he's kinda my favourite unit. If you really are curious just google 'Fantasy general dreggo'. 
By the way, I add my real name in front of it since the username "drego' already taken.

3. Describe yourself in three words.
    I am introvert

4. Are you left or right handed?
    Right Handed

5. What was your first deviation?
    <da:thumb id="318294126"/>
    for more detail, you could look into it.

6. What is your favourite type of art to create?
    Traditional art, since I makes me feel a lot more accomplished when finished.


7. If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
   Realism like the one below.

8. What was your first favourite?
    Sunshine in my heart by Histerica-Haruko


9. What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
    I am not really sure, cause it's kinda random, but not completely random. I know it's sounds weird, but it's something that interest me of course. Usually it has a strong relation with my interest and mood at the time.

10. Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
    Probably yuumei since I used to 'use' her drawing as practice material.  I stumble upon her gallery  a few years ago when looking for practice material since she draw the same style as I do and draw a lot better than I do.

11. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
    A lot of them, but I would probably say DeviantArt staff that has worked so hard to run the site. You could say that DeviantArt is nothing without its user. True, but could you all be here enjoying DeviantArt and its community if not for them in the first place?

12. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
    Well a lot of them taught me not to give up. Whenever I saw somebody draw something awesome, I thought they must start somewhere. I mean there's got to be some time in the past that they stuck in a 'bump' somewhere and the fact that they could draw something awesome means that they don't just give up and managed to overcome those 'bumps'.

13 . What are your preferred tools to create art?
    Drawing tablet and computers. Seeing that technology is getting better and better, it really become easier to 'perfect' my drawing in digital medium.
    I am not saying that digital medium is better than traditional medium, it's just that I had a feeling that it's going to harder for me to make a great drawing with traditional medium.

14. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
    The toilet. Like most people, I need somewhere private to draw the limit of my creativity and there's nowhere more private than the toilet. I mean there's nobody, not even my parents, will enter the toilet together with me. It's always just me.

15. What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
    The first time somebody watches me.

Well, I feel violated, somehow... Just kidding. It's kinda fun to write this and if you are reading this, you probably are bored to death. Well, I told you, I am only doing this for the badge.

Now I am gonna get myself a badge I'm in ur post! Shakin mah fish!

USA

It's been sometime since I've been here...
Phew... there's dust everywhere *cough* *cough*

Okay, nobody would care about this, but I'm still going to write it anyway.

I recently joined an international internship program to USA! Can you imagine that? USA was always the leading country that everyone around me look up in high regard and I'm very excited about it. :typerhappy:

Actually, I've been here for like one and a half month. Most of the things I've heard about America before going here are not true, but... I must admit it's good living here. Honestly, it's better than my home country. Although I will only stay here for a year, I must say that I will enjoy this, 'cause this is a whole lot new experience for me. :hooray:

I've also found some new anime to watch, but the most exciting one is 'Shingeki no Kyojin' or 'Attack on Titan'. It's an adaptation from manga with the same title, but I think the anime is A LOT BETTER than the manga. I didn't think it's an interesting series when I read the manga, but when I see the anime, boy, that turned my judgement 180 degrees.

Christmas

5 min read


I can't believe it's Christmas again :santa:. I barely enjoyed this year and it's almost gone :onfire:. You know what they said about time, it could be more dangerous than sword if not checked. This is one hell of a year for me. A lot happened to me and I think it taught me a lot. I started this year preparing for my thesis and closed this year by finishing it. Looking back, this was not the best year for me, but then again the wheel of life keeps spinning. Sometimes you are on the top and some other time you are at the bottom. At least nothing very bad happened to me. :)
When I think about it, I spend most of this year sitting in front of my computer and doing nothing productive since I'm kind of lost my motivations. I lost my motivation to finish my study, to draw, and sometimes worst, I lost the motivation to live :dead:, but I'm glad that was past.
Anyway, enough with my ranting and get into business.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. :D

I hope you have a good time and a happy holiday. :party:

Yeah, two days ago (Friday) I passed my bachelor thesis "Trial" and received the title Bachelor of Agricultural Science, not formally yet anyway.
It's not really a trial, more of a test I'd said, but the students here called it that way cause it really felt like you were judged. It's partly true though, cause your "worthiness" as a bachelor were judged here.

I've spent the last month preparing for that day and it still not enough. Really, my examiner knows what my weak point, and what I didn't know. For the last month I have also neglected my drawing habit. And probably more time to finish my bachelor thesis :noes:

Holyday over

5 min read


Okay, so it's been a week since the holyday ended, but I'm still struck by the holyday disease. Well, it's not really a disease, since I was just having a hard time waking up in the morning. Anyway, it's good that thing starting to return to not normal.

I've also heard about the Skyrim Heartfire DLC and it's kinda interesting. Build your own home and raise your family, now that's new. I wouldn't be surprised if it's Fable or... well, that's only game I know with that feature. But, they do have some resemblance on the gameplay.
