DeviantArtist Questionnaire

How long have you been on DeviantArt?
Just hit my 11 yr anniversary! Yay! \o/ (God I feel old ;3; )

What does your username mean?
Long ago in a far away forum (Ranklists), a young user was trying to come up with a good username. One that was unique and yet easily identifiable. She initially considered HighOnPixyStix, but that was stupid. She thought long and hard until a word popped into her head. A word which did not exist in any dictionary... "Mokenda"! And therefore thusly I am.

Describe yourself in three words.
Nerdy, flighty, procrastinator

Are you left or right handed?
Right handed, yet slowly teaching myself to use a fork with my left hand for reasons unknown even to me.

What was your first deviation?
Uuuuuuuuuuuh... it was deleted a long time ago. But if I remember right it was a (poorly drawn) headshot of an anime version of me. *shudders* 

What is your favourite type of art to create?
I love digital art, but I suppose I'm a bit of a jack of all trades. Sewing, painting, pencil, tablet, crafts. I just do whatever whim hits me, I suppose.

If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
Umm.... I guess I would like to learn how to draw realistic people looking naturally I suppose?
As for art material, I would like to learn to sew with a sewing machine. Hand stitching's a real pain in the ass for embroidery :V

What was your first favourite?
I've always been rather drawn to the anime style. When I started drawing, it was definitely the pointy hair, sharp chins/cheeks, and ooey gooey eyes. It's really quite painful to look at the REAL old stuff now. Honestly you probably wouldn't even know it was drawn by the same person haha

What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
Well, I guess that really depends on what kind of a mood I'm in. I like fanart quite a bit, especially if it's relevant to my interests (One Piece, TMNT, Sgt Frog, etc). But I also have a really diverse opinion on what's good art. I love stuff that's creepy, beautiful, funny, and even stuff that's a little bit disturbed. One thing's for sure though. If you're on my watch list, I LOVE your art! 

Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
Oh crap, you would ask that. Ummm... I don't know if I can pick one person per se... Let me just list a few of the ones I'm really fascinated with...
Mineiti, sakimichan, chaccko, and kevinbolk probably stand out the most.

If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
I'd definitely have to go moreso on a personal friend basis here. But if I had to choose from the list above, I'd definitely choose Mineiti since we've been friends via DeviantArt and Tegaki for several years now. :>

How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
Several have in fact. I got involved with a group of other girls and we came to be known as the "LoBs" and thanks to their influence, I feel as though I'm a better artist and have the ability to create more unique and storied characters. I just wish we'd stayed in better contact (sigh)

What are your preferred tools to create art?
Pencil/paper and my drawing tablet! Bless you Wacom.

What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
Class! Haha. That's probably where I did the most in regards to coming up with stories and doodling characters everywhere I went. I'm a horrible student, really, but at least something good came out of it lol

What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
I can't really say. There's been so many, and so many more yet to come :>
