Devious Medals `37

Have you ever wondered what goes on in the artistic endeavors of a Senior? What makes them tick?

"Devious Medals" is a feature/interview series of Senior Members here on deviantART that aims to surface key features of each Senior and to show them to the community as a whole, brought to you by dAseniors--the official group for Senior Members on deviantART!

Finally, thoughts and sentiments from the Senior-side are revealed to the general community. Let's get started!

monstash: Why did you decide to make the leap and become a deviant?

Damaged927: Back in 2006 and I had just started getting into drawing and art.  I drew my first picture and I thought to myself, where am I going to share this?  Up until that point the only online community I was an active member of was a game making board so it wasn't really the right "place" to share artwork.  I remember another forum member, sererena, was offering up game background commissions (or something like that) around that time and she had a deviantArt page.  So, I went to her page, checked out her work and thought, yup, this looks like a good place to post  So, I joined up then

Groudon: The Creator of Continents

monstash: Do you feel that your experience as a Community Volunteer is something that will stay with you for a while? Why or why not?

Damaged927: Absolutely. It'll stay with me because I'll continue to get DD suggestions for the next year so it'll be impossible to forget Okay, I kid (sorta )

Being a CV is one of the most rewarding and enriching experiences I have had Partaking in dA as a volunteer is a very unique experience for a deviant. It shows a side of the site that is fascinating and the CR team is one of the best groups I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of. Being a volunteer has also taught me a lot of life lessons and management skills. And, in other ways, it has helped me with my patience (or lack thereof ) I can't really put my finger on it but, no, I won't forget my time as a CV

All Guns, FIRE!

monstash: Choosing from your deviantART gallery, which is the deviation that you are most proud of?

Damaged927:

This piece took everything I had to make and I am mighty proud of it

The Troublesome Divine Flame

monstash: Lastly, is there anything you'd like to promote to the readers of this issue?

Damaged927: Um, could I shamelessly promote my book?
