Project Educate: Interview with =sakimichanMeet Fan Artist *sakimichan:iconsakimichan:1. Why did you become a member of deviantART?At first I just signed up to look at other artist's work to get inspired, now I appreciate what I can learn from the community, ideas concepts from different artists and I love inspiring others.2. Of the 8 years you've been here, what is your biggest (and proudest) accomplishment here on deviantART? Like a time when you felt like you were right on top of the world deviantART is a great place to get known,but what makes me even more honoured/proud is when I create something different from my usual stuff and still get recognition and even encouragement and critiques to continue to explore new ideas and concept.Recently I've started to do more environmental paintings, from the many encouragement I received, I felt like I can really achieve something that is more then what I have now : )3.

Project Educate: Interview with ~XII-ItachiMeet Fan Artist !XII-Itachi:iconxii-itachi::thumb176704917::thumb194810956::thumb203125696::thumb168363911:1. Why did you become a member of deviantART? What do you like best about deviantART? I joined deviantART for most likely the same reasons as the majority of the people in this community-- to share my art and develop skills for my own ambition. I wanted to make and share my art for people to see, I wanted to talk to people who shared the same interests as me, but most of all I wanted to learn as much as I could from those I revered and respected. And it was through that, I hoped, that I could become a far better artist than I was, because teaching myself to draw by myself at home could only bring me so far. Another huge factor that led me to join deviantART was the fact that almost all the illustrations here were done digitally! Being only thirteen at the time, I had no idea how digital art was made (as absurd as that sounds). Fortunately, my curiosi

Project Educate: Interview with *Loopy-LupeInterview with ~Loopy-Lupe :iconloopy-lupe:1. Why did you become a member of deviantART? What do you like best about deviantART?

Do you have a favorite artist? A favorite Fan Artist? (here on deviantART or off site)I have many favorite artists, on and off DA.

Project Educate: Interview with ~EledoraInterview with ~Eledora :iconEledora:(I urge you to view her gallery, it's full of animated madness!!)1. Why did you become a member of deviantART? What do you like best about deviantART?7 years ago! I think I kinda joined for practicing English, because dA is such an active and friendly community! I enjoy this part from dA the most! The group system is very helpful for finding arts (especially fanarts hehe) too.As a frequent Flash user, the best I like about dA is probably their compatibly with flash and animations. You can’t do that on most image hosting sites…2. Do you have a favorite artist? A favorite Fan Artist? (here on deviantART or off site)I generally like a kind of art style instead of a specific artist! I usually prefer warm colors and cute stuff, and recently I’m in love with simple lineless style and pastel-like brushes because of Gigi DG’s works.
Project Educate: Interview with *ry-spiritInterview with *Ry-Spirit :iconry-spirit:1. Why did you become a member of deviantART?I became a member of Deviantart after my girlfriend told me that I should put my artworks up 'somewhere'. Before that I usually just draw in my notebooks and sometimes even homeworks.

Of the 4 years you've been here, what is your biggest (and proudest) accomplishment here on deviantART? Like a time when you felt like you were right on top of the world My proudest moment might've been my first ever Daily Deviation.

Do you have a favorite artist? A favorite Fan Artist? (here on deviantART or off site)My favorite artist in general on the site? Hmm...

Project Educate: Interview with =panatenshiInterview with ~panatheist :iconpanatenshi:Why did you become a member of deviantART? What do you like best about deviantART?I became a member nine years ago, when there weren't a whole lot of other options when it came to online art communities. It just seemed like the best place to dump my art for a while, and I ended up staying. My favorite thing about dA is the presentation of the art: no horrible compression on the images, no distracting neon-colored UI. Art is the focus for me, so that's what's important to me.Do you have a favorite artist? A favorite Fan Artist? (here on deviantART or off site)It's hard to name any single artist. Right now I'm pretty obsessed with Shan Jiang, who does these epic and surreal illustrations in technicolor that have a lonely feel to them with these wide landscapes and open skies. I'm also really into Chiho Aoshima and Takato Yamamoto. A lot of pop s

Project Educate: Interview with `rydi1689Meet former Fan Art CV ^rydi1689 :iconrydi1689: 1. Why did you become a member of deviantART?I came across deviantART one day by chance but I didn’t realize it was an art site, I thought it was someone’s personal website so I didn’t join until half a year later.

Project Educate: Interview with *purplekecleonMeet *purplekecleon :iconpurplekecleon:1. Why did you become a member of deviantART?I became a member, actually, because a couple of my friends had set up galleries here. I didn't know of any place before deviantART that allowed me my own gallery space, so that was pretty neat at the time! I was 13, so I just had a small collection of works I'd done with oekaki... so, that's what I posted back then, haha.2. Of the 8 years you've been here, what is your biggest (and proudest) accomplishment here on deviantART? Like a time when you felt like you were right on top of the world Let's see... my biggest/proudest accomplishment is actually a recent thing, I think.

Project Educate: Interview with ~FloatingUkukuMeet ~FloatingUkuku :iconFloatingUkuku:1. Why did you become a member of deviantART? What do you like best about deviantART?I had been thinking about joining an art site on the internet for a longer time, but honestly I felt a bit shy about showing my pictures to so many people. It was on a friend's birthday that I finally decided to join, and I thought I'd surprise her by uploading a picture for her! I think the surprise was successful ;DInitially I didn't even think I'd be uploading more pictures, or being active in general, but the feedback I received right on the first day that I joined was absolutely encouraging! ;w; I'd even go as far to say that it changed my life in some ways c:DeviantArt is a wonderful source of inspiration, I love browsing through the endless amount of artwork, whatever it may be.But also the people that I have encountered here are really ni

Project Educate: 3D in Fan ArtHello everyone! In today's article we'll be reviewing 3D Art and its relation to the Fan Art Gallery. Let's get started! The Definition "3D art encompases work created in a range of 3D programs for purposes other than games. We take art created in Daz, 3D Studio Max, Maya, Lightwave, Sketchup, Blender and many more 3D applications.
