Shanghaied from

Why did you join this site?
Well, =MultimediaPanda convinced me at some point in time. I think I was intending to start it secretly but gave up five minutes after whipping it up. Then I posted a photo-manipulation and took off from there.

What does your username have to do with you? Is it a combination of your favorite things, or a character of yours?
*AlexCuervo is a shortened name of my one and only OC Alexander Frederigo Valenscuela Cuervo III. A well-developed character if I may so myself with a well plotted background and so much detail. There a couple of pictures in my gallery somewhere.

What is your current icon of?
It’s a kind of abbreviated flag. The kind like I would put on a button. It’s an abbreviation of the Aeran flag which is yellow with a black checker board pattern three rows wide on the flagstaff side and a black feather in the center with a red circle.

How many watchers do you have and how many people are you currently watching?
Watcher count: 36
Watching: 218

Do you have more than one account?
No.

Name 3 of your favorite artists on DA


What deviant do you admire because of their personality?
That’s a tough call. A lot of these people that I am watching have interesting stories on their own. They all have aspects, individually, that I admire.

How many people on here do you actually know in reality? Post their avatars.
Sister
Brother
Nomadic friend
Local friend

Do you comment, fave, or both?
I try to do both. I try to point out some aspect that I like or quickly muse myself and write a nifty little jigger that the artist might like. Unfortunately I tend to fave more than I comment. But I have just reason! They usually have received like 1.8 billion comments that day anyway.

What do you typically post on DeviantArt?
Lately I have been posting more writing than doodles. But I usually post writing or doodles around here. An occasional rant in my journal.

Do you participate in clubs or contests here on DA?
No. At least not yet. I might try to get in on the next postulate =Synthetamine poses but other than that, no I have not yet participated in anything around here.

What is your most popular deviation?
That’s a tough call. I suppose weighing everything it is a piece of writing that is smack in the middle of a series that I had wrote for ~Kiliwatch



What's your favorite submission in your favorites gallery?
I like the following piece mainly because I got to talk to the artist about it. I mean, yeah, I love all of *dismecha’s work but this piece has a tone of meanings and it was brought together well. Both the picture and words could play well on their own but they only help each other. I am pretty sure it was what inspired me to write “Monster, I Am” which I will post next to it.



What are the things you wish you could draw better?
For my doodles? I am working on a better, more appropriate hand shape. I am even trying out new ways to incorporate mass into their limbs. Hey, I’m not going for realism or anime or anything. Just a style of my own.

Are you a subscriber?
Yes.

How many hours a day do you spend on DA?
Many. When the internet as absolute trash and makes it no good to play Scions of Fate, I will leave my browser on and refresh the page frequently nipping any mass uploads in the bud. Sometimes it’s an all day thing, rarely do I ditch for more than 24 hours.

Are you a fast, slow, or medium typer?
Medium. I am not poking and prodding the keys at 10 strokes a minute. I mean, sure, I don’t do the home-row thing, but with the way I type, I can do 40 WPM. When I am typing just to be typing, I don’t even look at the screen, just at my keys. It reduces spelling errors and keeps me from being distracted from my current thought.

What is the most annoying thing people ask you?
Funny thing is, no one asks me anything. That is what annoys me when it comes to questions. I love answering questions.

What is the most annoying comment you get?
I have yet to get one.

What inspires you?
I guess I call inspiration a muse. I get that from concentrating on moods or asking questions. If I think about portraying something in my work I try to concentrate on how I want to deliver the message I am thinking about as well as the mood. When I put mood and message together, I like to think I am posing a definition that is new to someone.

Do you use any traditional media?
if I do it’s usually just an ink pen or gel ink pen on the back of an envelope of some random paper. I never said I was professional.

Do you associate people online with their icons?
Not all the time, but much of it. I like to think that they quickly show me something that that artist is genuinely interested in and likes to see. Some, more times than not, mean absolutely nothing and need further investigation.

Have you ever suggested a Daily Deviation?
Many, many times. I have had two successful suggestions. I try to submit at least two every month. Sometimes I can do more… many more.



Everyone has considered leaving DA once or twice. Have you? Why?
Yes, yes I have. Mostly because I started to think my art wasn’t really any good and that no one actually wanted to see any of it. But I remind myself that it will get better. In the near year I have been on DA, I have gone from two watchers to 36. That isn’t too bad. It’s popular enough for me anyway. Especially since I get the occasional feedback from my watchers. At least I know I am doing something right around here.
