Emote Interview 3 - TheSaltyMonster

Phlum-dee-doo! I have my answers for you

When did you start emoting? Do you think you've improved a lot since then?
My first emote was posted on my dA on March 1st, 2012. I think I’ve improved with pixelling in general, so it has made my emotes more visually appealing, but I want to keep going to do my best! It’s  been a short time since I started to make emotes so I have a long way to go ^^.

What do you think of the emoticon community as a whole?
I feel that everybody is really welcoming and nice. I know it wasn’t hard for me (at all) to make and find new people to talk with! I love interacting with other emoticonists and participating in the contests that are in place. It’s a great way to get inspiration for art (depending on a theme) but also an awesome way to be involved on dA!

What originally got you into the artform?
I started out using emotes in stamps, this is one of my first emote stamps: This really got me thinking about making emotes by themselves and I experimented with my first one on a see-saw

If you've been on hiatus at all, what brought you back?
My account is now 4 years old, I started when I was graduating from high school but I got really busy with college and haven’t used it for around 3 years. My old computer I used to make my deviations before also had a lot of problems. Last year I got programs for art related things on my laptop and viola I’m here! I became active towards the end of January this year, and I just enjoy art a lot, I had to give it a go!
