HaruRyomaru86

As some of you may or may not know I have started my own business and so I am moving some of my pay to use resources from DA to my website

or my Etsy store (link below)

If your interested you can find some old and new pay to use digital download paper (background) packs like these there as well as other products

I will still be adding free to use resources from time to time and some new art here on DA

My colouring books are also available for download

Merry Christmas and Thank you to all my lovely supporters and watchers here on DA.

So the first 10 questions have been going round in a tag. I wasn't tagged but I did say earlier in the year I would reveal a little more about me so hey why not. I will also add some art related questions I've been asked before or I would love to know about other artists

Both but I mainly favour my right for drawing

Don't have on

4.What’s the most you’ve ever been physically hurt?

Most hurt physically and all at once would have to the day I tore ligaments from the bones in my hands and legs and broke my ribs (fun times). I've had plenty of broken bones in my hand but the ligaments caused more damage to me then the bone brakes. (and that wasn't even the days I was martial arts training 😅

Purple

A weapon with the ability to change shape to the wielders desire and enchanted with elemental abilities

8.Have you thought about making a YouTube channel?

I have one (click link below if your interested)

but at the moment I don't really use it except for the occasional game clip I might start adding more as time goes on

9.What video games or anime do you consider underrated/overrated?

Overrated Naruto (lol don't kill me. I did used to like it but its just everywhere now and there are some seriously nasty fans of the show)

Underrated: Cells at work

Don't really have any from real life. However to answer the question a little I'll use my top 3 fav couples that others have created here on DA

by Hikari-Miyako

Well of course I had to add Siya and Nale (I need to start drawing them more together)

So Onto 16 Artist Related Question

(Feel free to use these questions yourself if your interested)

1. Who are you and what do you do?

I'm known here and on all my art sites as Haru. I'm an artist who mainly does digital art however I do want to do more traditional work also. At the moment I do a lot of chibi, OCs and free to use resources and line-art as well as write stories.

2. Why do you do what you do?

I like to do it 😀

3. How do you work and what do you use?

Erratically 😁😅 Just kidding (kind of) I mainly work at my computer, with wacom intous pen and touch and my main software is Clip Stdio Paint Pro

4. How has your art changed over time?

well i moved from mainly anime style to more semi-realistic

5. What art do you most identify with or love?

I love fantasy style art and hope to move my art more towards that style

6. What work do you most enjoy doing?

Creating Original Charters and stories

7. What art piece of yours are you least proud/ embarrassed about? How have you grown since then?

Least Proud (Its old and rubbish)

Most Proud

8. What has been your favourite or most memorable response to your art?

I get such lovely and helpful feedback I couldn't pick just one.

9. What do you dislike about the art world either in the real world or through social media sites?

Those that go around being deliberately rude about others work, and they can't even draw (or that give non constructive criticism) Animal cruelty art!!!

10. What do you dislike or struggle with in your art?

Struggle with hair, clothes and detailed real world backgrounds (so quite a bit of my art 😥)

11. What do you like/ are proud of with your art?

What do I like or am proud of.... I guess that would be my evolving style.

12. What research or references do you use (if any)?

I use 3D software programs to help me learn more about poses and lighting and since you have to spend a long time building or posing your characters it became a great way for me to understand the effect movement had on other parts of the body and since you can change body shapes it became easier to do sketch studies of different body shapes and styles. And if I'm not sure how something looks I'll search the internet.

13. Name 4 artist that inspire or have inspired you (can be in the real world or from an art-site)?

Mark Crilley, Ben Krefta, Boris Vallejo and his wife Julie Bell. I'm resisting the urge to add more since there have been many here on DA that have and do still inspire me but the two that are a constant inspiration and support are wotawota and TheKikkaKibaz

14. What's the best piece of advice you have been given?

Don't give up. Don't expect perfection in artwork just learn from mistakes of the past and though being tempted to distance yourself (or delete) really terrible past works how can you see how you have evolved as an artist if you can't look at your past and see how much you've changed.

15. What inspires you as an artist?

Music and nature (though you rarely see it in my digital work yet)

16. What wouldn't you be without as an artist?

My computer and tablet.

There you have it a little bit more about me as an Artist.

I hope you had fun reading 😅

Judges Feedback

This is a really nice and calming entry. The short Poem is really sweet and i thing the artist did a good job. I think with such short poems its not important to just illustrate the few lines. Over all you can be more free next time and creative even with short text. But this really shows both wanted to hold this one calm breathing moment and its super relaxing.

I would have specially loved when you both would have decided for another form of presentation. Its just very subjective but specially the text is so small you could have combined picture and text easier.

It would have been such an pretty postcard if she wasn't right at the centre maybe little to the right and the poem to her left.. This would somehow had a bigger impact on me. But that is just high nitpicking don't worry. I really like the softness of the clouds and her relaxed pose. Happy you both joined and created such an awesome entry

Both participants recreated the theme in a really pretty and delicate way. The Haiku is simple but pretty and fitting the theme. The art is really soothing and colorful. I like how you ended up going to a "Spring Meditation" way, which seems like in any moment she will finally "awake" to the spring around her. Really sweet work both of you!

The Haiku gave a delicate and gentle feel and really fitted the theme. And the art was pretty and captured the feeling of being embraced by spring , and I love the refreshing feeling you got from the art as you wait for her to finish her meditation and awaken. You both did really great good job.

Collab between Songoffallingfeather and YuzuruDropa

You two where a super power team, and a short notice collaboration team. You both been Visual artists, and had somehow need to manage to make both parts awesome.

I really love what you came up with.. The group harmony is so clearly seen here.. Both of you drew a scene of the story you guys made, and your form of presentations superb, with a small minus.. I was really sad that the text was so blurry. You both been kind and uploaded the pics separately to have a better resolution but none thought about the text.

Maybe on your phone or PC it was not a problem but it makes me little headache.

But i fought truth it, and the story is really nice as well, Two opposite groups who missed to see and acknowledge the value of the others.. and your super pretty maiden where so fresh ..so young and innocent.. they naturally saw it and brought new peace in an even which was called Spring awakening. It isn't obvious for the main theme but looking closer on the second glace it fit awesomely.. Spring stands for New beginnings and what for a new beginning is that. You two where a pretty strong collab team and we so happy to see that you managed so well. Thanks for being part of this.

One of the things I love about this entry is the fact that it was done in pages! It really seems like I'm reading a storybook. The fact that both drew and wrote the story is something that really pop out! The creativity here, not only in the storytelling but in the artwork, is really pretty and fitting. Lovely work both of you!

I loved the old book feel to this collaboration it made me wish there was more to read and see, like the book you never want to put down. The art was well illustrated and the story was creative and fitting of the theme. Great job to you both

Collab between @Ceryhn and Clownmonarch

I really love the Poem, and it was imminently one of my favourites..its so small but so suiting and friendly.

Its not easy to illustrate poems, i know that but therefore this is really an super adorable picture. It shows the Awakening and omg she looks so soft and cute.. i wanna hug her.

I would have loved that you guys maybe found a better way for the presentation. The poem was not so long and even just extend the sky a little on the picture and put them together would have been more pretty to my eye.. would have been an awesome card like when you open the a card and inside you have a picture and text .. dunno.. but all in all this was super fitting to the theme and you both did such an awesome job.

And we so happy you both made such a good team and participated

One of the things that I love in this entry is the tune between both participants. Both went for a delicate and pretty touch of spring awakening. The poem is absolutely beautiful and represents the theme. The same applies to the art, which I particular love the detail that she seems to "awake", just like the theme "spring awakening". Lovely work you two!

I really loved both parts of this collaboration the poem was amazing and the picture beautiful and delicate. The poem portrays the theme so lovely and the delicate art that portrays her as if she's awakening just as you finish the poem is amazing. Fantastic job to you both.

Collab between @DoodleAnne and Mai22Hikari

I really love the the depth of this story. First you read it but you don't get everything, but when you think about it you more and more see and be able to interpreter things into it.

Like this Climbing up is like How you carry the baggage and burden all of yourself, and how you always help others but didn't took care of yourself.. and than learn that its okay to accept help and feel the lifting of a burden when you share it..

Or how it is like a deep winter.. where you in depression and you climb up to spring to get out of it. i would have wished that the partner helped a little more with proof reading- since Anne mentioned English is not her big spoon. So sure it was not as smooth to read. But still smooth enough to see this beautiful meaning. I must say i really thought that the picture was suiting the story perfectly. I felt like yehhh this is really a metamorphosis. An awesome cover picture for a story. I really loved all the details of the story in it.

I would have loved to see more collaboration in the presentation. And not so many different uploads.. It somehow irritated me and took off the effect. Maybe next time..talk a little more about how you do things and find 1 way of presentation what suits you both.. how both of you feel comfortable.. Like your Doodles of the pic..you could have put in the description of everything , when you wanted to show them off as well.. When you collab, its important to have 1 line you show to people.

Over all this was amazing anyway and we happy you both participated

I really love how in detail both participants went with this entry. The art is a perfect illustration of the story (and vice versa) which is something I really like in this entry. The creativity is also captivating. Concerning the story, I love how one can easily imagine everything unfolding right in front of the eyes. And the illustration does the excellent work of portraying in a third person view. Amazing work you two!

I really loved the enchanting feeling of this collaboration. From the story to the illustration how you portrayed them really felt magical. Fantastic job to you both.

Sadly for us and Blastmasterism324 and KoooKus they didn't get both parts in intime for the deadline

Thank you once again to all those that participated, helped out, gave feed-back, donated prizes and gave support to the contestant and the Admin.

We hope you will join us again and hopefully we will have some new Deviants to collaborate with.
