Welcome to the 10th edition of "Become the Change: Weekly Artist Feature".
I'm sorry this edition is delayed a few days, but I wanted to wish fella 
a happy birthday with an interview of his lovely fan club! So onwards to the feature!If you are new to watching me, or just stumbled across this journal the "Weekly Art Feature" is where I feature an amazing artist from around deviantART. We try to feature different types of artists every week so you don't have to keep looking at the same type of things over and over again.

Who are you?
Hi, I'm
SmackedByPizza
What made you join deviantART?
A friend of mine told me over 4 years ago about the website. She told me that I should join DA since I did traditional drawings in the past.
What is the story behind your username?
It's rather simple, I think hehe. JMC are the initials for my name and "Warcry" is a word that I want to express in future drawings (mostly in my future comic projects).
What made you stay on deviantART?
What made me stay on DA was all those amazing artists. There is just so much of them, you can't just leave DA like that!
What is your chosen art element?
I do both digital and traditional drawings. My style is comic-ish meets realism.
Is there a reason that that is your choice of art element?
Of course there is. When I played Final Fantasy VII over 12 years ago, I told myself "wow I want to make characters like that!". Then soon after I learned about Tetsuya Nomura and that was one of the reasons I wanted to draw.
What is your main source of inspiration?
What inspires me is everything that is about fantasy and video games. Of course there is also music, which I totally need when I draw.
Why do you continue creating your art?
I always liked the idea of being able to create my own world, and drawing gives me that feeling. That is why I am still drawing.
Do you feel deviantART has helped you improve your skills?
It really has since it pushed me to draw more. Watching those artists go makes you want to keep drawing and drawing thus improving your skills.
What are your thoughts on your chosen art element's community? I find its pretty interesting how someone's way of drawing differs from another. No one is completely the same and that's what makes the beauty of it.
Do you have any personal goals in relation to deviantART?
My personal goal here would be to be as active as I can be! I don't want to let my watchers down.
What are your favorite foods/drinks that you can't resist?
Hmm that is a pretty good question! I love eating poutine, a very popular thing in Canada!
I like to drink pineapple juice.
What Movies/TV shows do you enjoy watching?
I love watching fantasy, comedy, and horror films. I also like watching wrestling and some anime.
What type of books can you not put down?
I don't read a lot of books, but I do love reading anything that is art related. I recently bought "The Art of God of War 3" book and I am loving it!
Do you look up to anyone on deviantART?
Well
mazjojo,
Virus-AC,
sakimichan and
monikapalosz are a couple artists I really like on this website.
Do you have any wise word for new or inspiring artists of your element?
A lot of artists will say it, practice is important! Even the most gifted artists can't do much if they don't practice.
Are there any projects or something else you'd like to promote/share with us?
I have two personal projects, which will be comic books. The first is "Dreamion" and the second is "Angelus Obscurum". The first having more comedy and the other one having a more serious story to tell.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
If you want to see my older stuff from my two other accounts, check them here
