Deviation Actions
First, I've fallen behind in replying to comments again, I try to answer any questions as they come in, but I might have missed some. Feel free to ask me anything in the comments!
Second, me and my sister came up with 100 Questions for Character Couples as writing prompts and exercises. I love things like this to get to know characters better! I thought I'd share in case any other storytellers might find it useful.
And Third, here is the questionnaire!
1. How long have you been on DeviantArt?
5 years on this account, though me and my sister shared an account at first and I don’t remember how long that was for.
2. What does your username mean?
It means I am a huge fan of the TV show Lost! ...which is a little sad ‘cause as much as I love Lost, I’ve never felt too inclined to actually draw more than a few fanarts for it. I am fond of the nickname ‘Lostie’ I’ve get around here.
3. Describe yourself in three words.
Christian, Messy, Workaholic.
4. Are you left or right handed?
Right.
5. What was your first deviation?
Oh no...
Oh, ok. That wasn’t bad.
6. What is your favourite type of art to create?
Digital paintings of my characters. It’s more fun than drawing the comics and more meaningful to me than fanart/commishes.
7. If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
Hmm, I think Glen Keane’s and then I’d try to translate that energy and expressiveness into my own style.
8. What was your first favourite?
Still the best.
9. What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
Mostly art by people I admire, type or quality of the art doesn’t matter too much. I’m more likely to favorite good art that represents Christianity, fanart for more obscure stories that don’t get a lot, or peoples' original characters. When I see someone is working on an original story, I try to be extra supportive about it.

10. Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
Ugh, one is too painful. Here are a few:
11. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
I don’t know, in person I'd probably hide in a corner and not say anything, but maybe , , or , they are so sweet and inspiring.
12. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
and I were beta readers for a time with each others' stories, her advice was invaluable!
13. What are your preferred tools to create art?
Wacom Intuos 4 for digital art, Canon Rebel t2i if we’re talking photography, watercolors if we’re talking traditional.
14. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
On the couch in the sunroom (opposite corner from my desk), where I can be snuggly and look out all the windows.
15. What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
Well, I just about had a heart attack when I saw I got a Daily Deviation, but I think my ~favorite~ memory would just be the whole The Silver Eye Fanart Contest from this year. It just blows my mind how many awesome and talented people read my story. That was so much fun, I will have to do it again sometime.
I've met super awesome people and had a great experience in the years on DeviantArt so far, may there be many more!

2020 Calendar on Indiegogo!
This year I am doing a calendar of my Yosemite artwork and crowdfunding it on Indiegogo!
I've been going to Yosemite National Park with my family a lot the past couple of years. I like to run around like a madwoman lugging my sketchbook and markers trying to capture everything! This calendar is a collection of some of my favorite drawings and paintings that I've done of Yosemite.
Among the perks in the campaign, you can get an original marker drawing of Yosemite Valley, like the ones in the calendar.
You can also get an original marker drawing of a character from The Silver Eye like this Apen!
Please have a look and share it with anyone w
2019 Calendar!
Available Here!
I'm still catching up on posting these paintings as deviations, but I wanted to go ahead and put them in one place!
2018 was a great year for commissions, but November rolled around and I didn't have enough new paintings of The Silver Eye characters to do my yearly calendar. I had to scramble to get 12 paintings done in a very short time frame. I based this series off of 12 Rules for Life by Jordan B. Peterson. It pushed me to be more symbolic and surreal than I normally am in my art. I'm super happy with how it all came together!
(The art for 8 and 9 are exclusive to the calendar and Patreon)
Which ones are your favorite?
