Seems I can't seem to escape these, so here's another one to spam your in-boxes with

1. What does your deviantart name mean and why did you join this site?
My deviantart name (also my username for most places I'm a part of) originated in a forum I went to back in highschool, gundams.net and the EX-S of it was part of the model number for the MSA-011 EX-S Gundam (long standing gundam fan here lol). The Shadow part more or less symbolized my social status at the time as I was considered one of the lowly "shadows" of dork-dom in highschool......
Now my username means something different to me. It symbolizes that I've since come out from the shadows to be what I want to be, in art, cosplay, my social life, etc

2. What fandom were you obsessed with when you joined and what are you into now?
Gundam, Naruto, Bleach, Trigun...lots of the big name anime's that EVERYONE was and is into. I actually liked Naruto and Bleach a long time before they became so ridiculously popular here in the U.S. and still follow most of the same interests I had back when I joined a few years back, but my current fandom is Yugioh (I blame the girlfriend lol)

3. How many watchers do you have now?
443 (I'd say about half of them are pretty recent too )

4. Name 3 of your favorite artists on DA
Favoritism was never easy for me to define. I really like lots of the DA artists here, and for many different reasons. I really love =sandrum's 3D Gundam Artwork. He's really good at what he does and you can always tell he has a passion for it. ~jacemoore is a recent favorite and inspiration in cosplay art, I've gotten loads of advice and ideas from Jace. And I'd have to say that `Wen-M is my all-time favorite, and a real inspiration to me. His artwork is always so innovative and detailed, its almost depressing to dare compare any of my work to his

5. Do you comment, fav, or both?
Both. I fav alot more often, but I still comment pretty frequently as well

6. Do you participate in clubs' contests here on DA?
Not really. I used to be a part of a few clubs, and I might still be on the lists of some of them, but I really don't do anything for clubs or contests...

14. Anime or Manga?
Depends on the series. I find that lots of anime fall short of covering the storyline or character development as thoroughly as the manga its based off of (especially in cases where anime production went ahead of the manga production *cough* Trigun *cough* Hellsing >__> but there are also plenty of excellent anime that I've never even read the manga for and don't really care to because they're THAT good

15. Coke or Pepsi?
