MEME 'CAUSE YOU LOVE 'EM

Gracefully Taken from ~

First day of being a freshman today and uh... I don't know how good I'll be at keeping up with drawing. For now, I'll try to at least post a journal every now and then.

 1. How did you join dA?
OKAY THIS IS A BIT OF LIKE AN "OHHH" MOMENT FOR PEOPLE WHO'VE EVER WONDERED WHERE MY USERNAME COMES FROM.
Back in 6th grade I would go on youtube a lot and search up videos of people chillin' at Disney World. One day I came across a youtube video of these fangirls hanging out with this really adorable person dressed up as the Mad Hatter for Disney Land. He was nicknamed Squishy Hatter and if any of you are interested, there are quite a few videos of him up on youtube and other "hatters" with too many nicknames to list right now.
Well in one of the videos, someone printed off their artwork from DeviantART and gave it to him with the watermark on it. He was trying to pronounce it and it was the funniest thing ever. I checked out the website and I thought it was pretty rad, but I wasn't old enough to join yet. I waited a while(I was now learning the Invader Zim art style) until my friends and pushed me to make an account.
Two years later and here I am today~

 2. What does your username have to do with you?

I kind of already explained where my username came from, but just in case you didn't catch it, it's just a small tribute to a Disney Land worker whom people nicknamed "Squishy Hatter". His nickname came about from the little Finding Nemo "You are My Squishy" bit.

If anyone is still interested...



 3. What is your current avatar of?

One of my three personas from "SquishyTM", Squishy. Well, before I turned them into a robot...



 4. How many watchers do you have, and how many do you watch?

136 watchers WHOM I LOVE WITH ALL OF MY HEART, SOUL, AND WELL-BEING~!!! I watch 607 and I don't have a problem with it. EXCEPT I'M SCARED OF THE DEVIANTART WATCH LIMIT!!! DX 

 5. Do you have more than one account?

Nope! This one was tough work trying to keep nice n neat for y'all. It would be chaos if I had ever made another account or two. Plus, I'm really happy with my username~


 6. Name three of your favorite artists on dA.

I LOVE SO MANY. HMMM... ALL OF MY FRIENDS, OF COURSE~ But three that are really JOLLY-WHACK (and you should check them out) are...



I COULD LIST SO MUCH MORE TOO~

 7. What deviant(s) do you admire because of their personality?

Too many to count in all honesty. First of all, ALL OF MY WATCHERS. You guys are seriously the best. I couldn't ask for better friends who've become more like family to me.
But a few are...

 

And I'll keep it at five for the time being~

 8. How many deviants do you actually know in reality? Post their avatars.

My bestie!
My bestie, again!
Bestie yes
Internet bestie!

If I missed anyone, please forgive me! DX

 9. Do you comment, fave, or both?

It depends... Everyone once in a while I'll comment, but most of the time I'll favorite something to show my appreciation. It's very rare to get me to both comment and favorite something. Usually when I comment, I will favorite though. If I comment... Uhh... did I mention commenting?

 10. What do you typically post on deviantART?

ART OF JOLLY-WHACK THINGS.
Usually cartoony characters, but sometimes I'll throw out something new for everyone to see.

 11. Do you participate in clubs or contests here on dA?

Nope. I tried once and it was for a friend, the contest. I'm in a club right now that I should really get to participating in...


 12. What is your most popular deviation? As in most viewed or most favorited?
Most Comments AND most Favorited(unfortunately)- 
Most viewed(595 views)(oddly)-
They're both really... not good pieces of art by me and it's so strange that they're my most popular ones...





 13. What's your favorite submission in your gallery?

Not too sure... I really like a LOT of my newer submissions and I find my self just staring at them in awe. Especially when I re-draw old characters of mine!
 I kind of like this one quite a bit though.




 14. What are things you wish you could draw better?

BACKGROUNDS.
SCENERY.
POSES. 
ANIMALS/CREATURES.
OBJECTS.
HANDS.
LEGS/ARMS.
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS, GUYS.

 15. Do you have a premium membership?

Yes indeedy do~! But it's ending on September 8th and I'm really going to miss my spiffy profile page... It was given to me by an anonymous deviant and I STILL wish I could thank them properly!! >~<

 16. How many hours a day do you spend on dA?

Uhhhhh... Many?


 17. Are you a fast, slow, or medium typer?

Hella fast, if I do say so myself. I play piano so that helps and I think the home keys thing is a really nifty tool to know.

 18. What is the most annoying thing people ask you?

I HAD TO DIG REALLY DEEP INTO MY SOUL TO ANSWER THIS ONE! I have a really, REALLY HIGH TOLERANCE LEVEL FOR PEOPLE. I live with two older brothers and one 8 year old little brother. My family is pretty obnoxious so 99.9% of the time, QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, OR CONCERNS DON'T BOTHER ME AT ALLLLLL.
If there was a single thing, however, it's when people ask me if I can drew them as a cartoon character when I'm at school. I'm not talking about when it's my friends or pals that I've known for a long time and feel comfortable drawing... I'm talking about people who NEVER TALK TO ME until they find out that I can draw and THEY NEVER FAIL to ask me to draw them!! D: I don't mind it when you guys ask because I don't know... I feel more appreciated here than I am as an artist at school. It's like, you guys watch me and you deserve all the love.

 19. What is the most annoying/offending comment you've ever received?

None, really. Except this one time only about a month ago some guy on here, not mentioning names, told me that if I wasn't going to favorite or comment on anything in his gallery then I should just unwatch him. So I did. It wasn't like he was very active anyways... It was just... it irked me.

 20. What/Who inspires you?

THOSE THREE IDOLS ABOVE AND THEN SOME. MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY. JHONEN VASQUEZ(INVADER ZIM CREATOR). TIM BURTON. AND CARTOONS.


 21. Do you use guidelines when you draw?

I draw traditionally. So I sketch out my thing and then ink over it with pen. But I don't use guidelines. Like, they make things harder for me. Every once in a while I'll use them to line up the face on the head, but I really don't like using them. DX

 22. Do you associate people on deviantART with their icons?

OH YES. AND THE USERNAMES THAT I PRONOUNCE SO ODDLY IN MY HEAD. So if you change your icon AND your username, you've basically become and entirely foreign person to me.


 23. Have you ever suggested a Daily Deviation?

I don't understand how to... so no.

 24. Everyone has considered leaving dA once or twice. Have you? Why?

Ummm... Kind of? I considered it once a few weeks ago, but I immediately changed my mind when I realized that the 536 deviations I've posted would be hard to move over, there are a lot of things I like about my account, and trying to get all of you guys to switch over to my new account would be too much of a hassle. I can promise you that I, SquishyHattress, will most defiantly NOT be deactivating or switching over to an account FOR A LONG TIME.


Feel free to do this if you want! Be sure to tag me so that I can read it.
