Features and Santa's Workshop!

5 min read
Hello!  Its the holiday season, and santas-workshop is getting ready to grant wishes!  The idea of the group is that anyone can send in a letter to the elves (like me!) and it'll come true.  If you want to give a friend something personalized for them but can't draw it yourself or just want to see a favorite character of yours come to life for the holidays just let the group know :dance:

Also I wanted to feature some watchers again, so here goes!

Before You SleepWhite. Everything in this bloody place was buggin white. White walls, white floors, even the clothes they had made him wear since he was very young, were white. White like a shroud, like snow.
They said the Glade had color; emerald green grass, blue, endless sky, earthy browns.
It was so cold here, the icy touch constantly reaching through the walls of WICKED's stronghold, trying to run frozen fingers down his back.
They said the Glade was always warm; that you could sleep outside if you chose and that fresh food grew year round.
But, best of all, there was no Flare in the Glade. No madness, no danger, no cranks.
The Glade was a paradise, or so they said.
Newt sat on his bed, hands clasped together as he mentally tried to hold onto these ideals. He couldn't risk letting them slip through his fingers, because if they did; he'd change his mind.
The only reason he was going was because he wasn't an immune and he knew that. If he didn't go, if he refused, WICKED would send him to the neare by MoonlightDewz

The Slam Has To Jam This WaySlammin' here, i realize you were just like me
Trying to make a Jam in History
But who's to judge the dunks from a foul
But when our guard is down
A three point shot is free!!!

Slams makes Jam!!!
but in the end it has to Slam this way!
I've done a good Slam
You've followed your Jam
And maybe we're both the same!
The Scores have turned!
The Ball has returned!
But Nobody's won the game!!!
Yet I'm starring across this barren wasted court!
I feel my life will no longer bore!

Questionnaire

4 min read
Happy birthday dA!  :dance:

1. How long have you been on Deviantart?
    3 years.

2. What does your username mean?
    "missi-tuk" is a Pequot word for big, turbulent rivers.  The first town I lived in was had a river like that running through it and was named "Mystic" after the native term.  I normally go by Mystic online but not surprisingly that name was taken on dA.  I guess "missituk" is going back to my roots in a way?

3. Describe yourself in three words.
    Curious, sentimental, growing.

4. Are you left or right handed?
    Right.

5. What was your first deviation?
     Help me, birds! by mysticellus I've always wanted to do more surreal drawings but it feels like that well is running dry :iconmanlytearsplz:

6. What is your favourite type of art to create?
    Art that makes people happy.

7. If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
    Music, definitely... but in terms of a different style of visual art I'd want to be able to paint like William Turner.  His watercolors are beautiful, and I have trouble coloring well outside of PS.

8. What was your first favourite?
     1000 W0RDS by yuumei  Basically the reason I joined dA.

9. What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
    Digital paintings.

10. Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
    Yuumei has been a long-time favorite but it's hard to pick just one.  JohnSu, hypothalamus, PeteMohrbacher, and VIIstar are really amazing too. 

11. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
    That's hard for me to answer.  While I really look up to people on this site I would probably be too shy to bother them irl.  

12. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
    1000 Words really inspired me to draw more, and in general the feedback I've been given on the site has really kept me going.  dA is such a generous and friendly place, it gives me a lot of faith in my fellow artists.  School can feel extremely competitive and its nice to know that there will always be a wonderful, broader world of art out there.  

13. What are your preferred tools to create art?
    I really like my tablet but there's a certain tactile satisfaction in working with clay.  My balsa wood tools and exacto knife are super helpful.

14. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
    Somewhere quiet and peaceful.

15. What is your favorite DeviantArt memory?
    The first time I saw VIIstar's gallery I was just getting into clay and was blown away by everything I saw.  VIIstar answered the questions I had and was incredibly helpful and kind.  Every veteran artist who is willing to help random noobies on the internet is amazing.

Hi everyone!  This is just a quick ramble/life-related update.

For a long time, almost since I joined dA, I've felt really uninspired to draw/make anything original.  I've had ideas, but realized they sucked and lost interest.  I've felt less motivated to create, and instead focused on improving the technical side of my art (mostly by drawing fanart).  Fanart is fun and all but when it's all I draw I can't help but feel I'm not really an artist.  I'm not creating anything new, inspiring people, sharing my feelings/thoughts visually - just experimenting with techniques while drawing characters I like.  It's not that I expect anything I draw to ever have a profound impact on people, and I'm not suggesting fanart is bad, but what I want to be is an artist and I feel like something's missing.  What frustrates me the most is that I used to have that "something" and I lost it.

I got to college a couple weeks ago and things have been really cool.  Most of my classes are great, and what we've been discussing there has really got me thinking about this creative problem I have.  I think I know what caused it and how to fix it now, and I want to try my best at really being an artist again.  I'm finally finding inspiration again :iconmanlytearsplz:
So as a warning, things might get different/weird around my gallery.  
I'll still draw some fanart to be sure, but I want to focus on my own creative projects.  Thank you guys for watching/supporting me as a develop : )
