For fun and birthday giggles

How long have you been on DeviantArt?
8 years

What does your username mean?
You'd really like to know that wouldn't you... ahahaha. Once upon a time, when I was 10 years old, which is more than half my life ago, I made my first E-Mail address because it was required for a penpal thing in school. So I wanted to have 'Leyla' as a stand-alone, but obv it was taken. Back at that time I always wanted a parrot which I'd call Phoenix (if I'd have ever gotten it), so I just kinda combined my name with the name of the pet I would've liked to have. And thus my alias was born and for every site I would later sign up to, I used that name, and it was never ever taken.  

Describe yourself in three words.
I am tired

Are you left or right handed?
I am actually left-handed but whenever i had a pen in my hand in kindergarten the kindergarteners put it into my right hand, so now I write and draw with my right hand but still do everything else left-handed, it's weird

What was your first deviation?
UUUHHHHH. DO YOU REALLY WANNA KNOW THAT?
My rabbit, apparently. Woah man. Photoshop and windows backgrounds were the shit back in the days weren't they????

What is your favourite type of art to create?
I like taking photos a lot, but I wouldn't necessarily call mine art. Sooo.. idk really. I write a lot. But i'm not good at it. But I guess I'm still more comfortable with words than I am with lines. I do enjoy drawing too though, I like drawing cats and dogs. And Alienpacman. Yes, he's still a thing. 

If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
Drawing, I'd really like to be able to draw decent shits, as for which style of drawing, THAT'S A HARD ONE, I really can't choose, anything is fine really as long as I'd be better at it than whatever the hell it is that I do now xD Sculpting is hella rad too tho

What was your first favourite?
I think that would have to be Zaakie's "Meant to be" ....aaaand I just checked AND IT IS, WOAH MEMORY U NEVER FAIL ME

What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
Photography, I think? Actually no, probably not.. hella rad drawings probably

Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
NONE OTHER THAN MY BB and best friend forever KitoZeke WE'VE BEEN IN THIS TOGETHER SINCE '07, U TOOK MY WATCH AND FAVE VIRGINITY ahahaha i love you forever <3

If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
KitoZeke obviously but I guess we already met IRL hardcore, also Anly2 who I've also already met IRL... uuuh most of my favourite people on here I've already met IRL anyway ._. If I had to choose from ppl I haven't met IRL yet, there's AliceUnderland who unfortunately deleted her acc, and there's also Naimane who i used to have hella random msn convos with but that's a very long time ago. Oh, and also CaptainImaginary cause damn dude's hella rad but we've never even talked ahahaha

How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
UUHHHH you guessed it this would be about my brah Zaakie again, but the question is still hard to answer, everyone we meet that becomes part of our inner circle kind of impacts our lives in a way, I think Zaakie impacted mine in terms of being the first person I ever met that I was able to relate to on all the levels

What are your preferred tools to create art?
Hmmm... I would've said camera, but since I don't consider my photos art, probably a pen and a paper, cause with that i can write, draw or fold, with no restrictions the answer "computer" would've brought, even though I prefer drawing and writing digitally ALSO I LOVE MY PIANO

What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
MY ROOM and school way back in the days I guess, since most things I ever created I created trying not to fall asleep in school constantly

What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
There's a few "time spans" that are my favourite, like back when tm, KZ, e, EB (and yes we really only ever called each other by our initials) and me had group msn convos everyday, or when Nai did livestreams til very late into the night until there was only the four of us (them guys know who they are, too lazy to put all the urls xD) left and we talked about all kinds of niceties like Arsch mit Ohren, or generally the time where me and all my good bros were still active a lot
