1. How long have you been on DeviantArt ?I'm a "deviant" since April 2008, when I created my photographic account
. Draw was my first
passion, since I was a child ... In 2004, I received my first camera and photography became my great love. With
a photo, we can show a lot of emotions, and it can be very powerful ! Thanks to photomanipulations, I successed
to accentuate sad, dark, and nostalgic atmospheres. Unfortunately, I have less time to do photomanipulations
since I have a job ... But it's always a real pleasure for me to do a manip', and above all to use new and
unseen stocks !
2. What does your username mean ?My best friend gave me "Tite N'elfe" as nickname, a funny way to say "Petite Elfe" in french, or "Little Elf"
if you prefer
. "Tite Nelfe" is already my username for my photographic account, so I wanted to use
one more serious for my digital & traditional arts one, keeping the elvish side. So I found an elvish name which is
Eledhwen. It
means "elvish complexion".
3. Describe yourself in three words.Misanthropic, honest, reserved. But if you want to know more: I'm a person who hate the actual world, I hate
more and more humans and how much they become selfish, bad, impolite (and work on an interstate rest area didn't arrange what I think about people) ...
They are destroying our planet, and it doesn't seem to disturb them. That's why I'm quite solitary, and why I like revitalize myself walking through the
forests, alone in nature (or with my boyfriend and dear friends) ... Or why I prefer spend more time with my guinea-pigs than with stupid people.
Go on deviantArt always was a way out, I have pleasure to talk and exchange here with adorable people.
4. Are you left or right handed ?Right handed
5. What was your first deviation ?My first deviation with this account was:
It's also the work with the most favourites from my gallery, with
1,262 . I did it thanks to a magazine tutorial (done by
).
6. What is your favourite type of art to create ?Photomanipulations of course !
I particularly like to create nostalgic atmospheres, or dark ones.
7. If you could instantly master a different art style, what would it be ?I would love to master digital painting, but I'm too bad at drawing with a tablet, I'm more comfortable with traditional drawings.
8. What was your first favourite ?This so realistic drawing !
9. What type of art do you tend to favourite the most ?I particularly favourite dark art, and creations including forest universe. But I also like mangas with shining aspect !
10. Who is your all-time favourite deviant artist ?It's difficult to only think about one artist, because a lot are absolutly talented ! But if I must choose one
of them considering also the person behind the pencil, it would be
Gianna . This
adorable woman has a heart of gold !
She was always ready to participate to my contests on my stock account, and I also had a real pleasure to know
more about her life through private messages. It's a so talented artist and a person with incredible qualities,
she deserves more watchers, seriously ! So don't hesitate to have a look at her wonderful gallery
.
These are my favorite creations from her gallery:
Her creations using me as model:
Using my best friend as model:
And using both together:
11. If you could meet anyone on DeviantArt in person, who would it be ?I already had the chance to meet

I also would love to meet
(you know why now
)
who is so nice too (thank you again to be who you are, and to have taken the time to participate to my contests even if you were very busy
).
who seem to be a lovely person
12. How has a fellow deviant impacted your life ? was certainly the person who supported me the most, particularly at the beginning.
He also was the first to commission me to do a photomanipulation (this one:
). Again a gold-hearted deviant
13. What are your preferred tools to create art ?As a lot of deviants, I use PhotoShop to create photomanipulations. And I don't want to use something else !!
14. What is the most inspirational place for you to create art ?My desk, my desk, and again MY DESK ! But if my desk was located in a magical forest, it would be moooore inspirational, for sure !
15. What is your favourite DeviantArt memory ?Certainly when I saw the first participations for my first stock contest. I'm always surprised to see how creations can be so different by the atmosphere using a same photo as stock.
That was the contest in question:
Mermaid Contest (CLOSED)So ... You CAN'T imaginate how difficult it was to make a choice for the result ... All your creations touched me so much, and I really thank you for this and to have taken the time to participate. I'm happy to see you all have been really inspired by the photograph, your works are so creative !! .
But, it's a contest, and in all contest there are winners (here 3, so).
