How long have you been on DeviantArt?
I joined deviantART on October 10th, 2008. Which is almost seven years.
What does your username mean?
"Imperius Rex" means "Ruler of the Empire" in Latin and is the catchphrase of Namor the Submariner. Namor was the first comic book anti-hero and, along with the original Human Torch, was Marvel's first superhero. He was also Marvel's first mutant character and the first superhero shown with the ability to fly. Namor's catchphrase is sometimes misspelled as "Imperious Rex", which ironically means "Despotic Ruler" in Latin.
My previous username was "Primera-Espada-Stark", which is a reference to Coyote Starrk from the anime and manga series Bleach. I decided on the username at a time when Starrk's rank in the Espada was still unknown, so the "Primera" part was entirely speculative. His actual rank, which was exactly as I had guessed, was revealed a little more than a month later in chapter 339. He is still one of my favorite Bleach characters, but I ended up changing my username to "Imperius-Rex" as soon as the option was released.
I've thought about changing it again, but I'm not going to give any hints as to what I have in mind.
Describe yourself in three words.
Intelligent, logical and creative.
Are you left or right handed?
I'm right handed, mostly.
What was your first deviation?
Nappa's Court,
What is your favourite type of art to create?
I equally enjoy writing and drawing. I also enjoy photography.
If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be?
Persian miniatures.
What was your first favourite?
Though I really can't stand the dance or the song behind it, this cute animation of Starrk and Lilynette from Bleach was my first favorite,
What type of art do you tend to favourite the most?
Probably fan-art. Simply because there's so much of it.
Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist?
I could be biased and say "opal-tea", but I'm not going to do that. There are literally dozens of extremely skilled and talented artists I could list here. But if I had to choose just one, I would probably go with rianbowart. She was one of my first watchers and is one of the most talented artists I've ever seen, and seeing her artwork improve over time has done a lot to push me towards improving my own.
If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be?
rianbowart, coffeejelly or KalahariMeerkatfan would be my first choices.
I really miss hanging out with UssColt45, risaXrisa and Ichigo3567 too. But I don't think they count for this.
How has a fellow deviant impacted your life?
How have they not? Other deviants have encouraged me, inspired me, given me advice and talked to me about very interesting things. I've made some good friends on deviantART and have had good friends join the site.
What are your preferred tools to create art?
I prefer to use a 0.33mm Gundam pencil and 0.2mm to 0.4mm Pigma pens by Sakura for my line-art. For my colors, I prefer to use Copic Sketch markers or have opal-tea color my work digitally. I use my laptop's keyboard for all my writing. I've gone through several digital cameras and currently use my phone's camera for most of my photography. I also use GIMP for some technical stuff.
What is the most inspirational place for you to create art?
I prefer to make art in my room, at my desk.
What is your favourite DeviantArt memory?
Making friends? I'm not sure if that counts.
