Heyo guys!
Until theOtaku page is up and mirroring that of Facebook, I thought it would be nice to post a few things that I think is great to share on the main website as well. This one, Otaku Feature is an interview with fellow artist: BabyD.
Special thanks for BabyD for agreeing to the Q&A, as well as Keba Si Rota, for suggesting the idea :)

Q&A with BabyD:
1. How did you come across theOtaku?
Hmmmm wow I'm not really sure, I'ts been almost 10 years since I joined this site yikes! I think it was after I started drawing a lot, I was looking for more "anime" stuff to draw and got into the whole "otaku" world and after looking for more sites I found theotaku.com. First I was more in myOtaku.com but after watching people posting designs I decide to give it a try and at the end I spent more time in theO.
2. Where did you come up with your username?
I have to confess I'm really lazy when I have to come up with a name or username, I pretty much use my name in all the MMO and other games I played. But because this was such a looong time ago I didn't like to use my name and I decide to use my dog's name that it was "Baby" and the "density" part came from a floppy disk promo I saw, yes a floppy disk, I don't even know why I picked that word, I was 13 or 14 and since I already used this username in other forums before I used the same one here (did I said I was lazy?). But when the username change was available here I decide to make it shorter, oh and for those who didn't know yeah my username was babydensity but many people kept saying babydestiny *sigh* so now is BabyD, boom!
3. What type of art do you specialize in?
Well now, Photoshop editing and photo manipulation.
4. How do you think theOtaku has assisted with your art growth?
Whoa in a lot of ways. Just seeing so many artworks of the members here made me want to be better. The best example is to see my early works and compare it to now. That's how theOtaku inspired me to try to make and learn new things.
5. Who has inspired you on this website? In general?
Ooooh that's a hard one because it wasn't only one, it was in fact a mix of a lot of users here in theO. Some sadly left theotaku.com but there still a couples of artist that still inspire me to try and do new things. SakuraDust, Ritona Raito, Angel Zakuro, Tauria, sweetdevil, chibi-anna-chan, Blue Latte, KairiJun, Hanako Sho, Ikemarth, CleaversForKids, Kami-chan.x3, yuko9kost, Felcie, Kurihara Akane, JanetChan oh god there's so many so sorry if I forgot someone there's so many amazing artists! DX All together inspired me in general, we exchange opinions and I like to think we learned from each other and with the blogs and chats we got to know each other better! OH and I can't forget about Michiyo Shimizu and Tito! he even visited me when I was in the hospital! *hugs*
6. What are your primary art tools?
Hmmm when I draw a pencil and in the laptop Adobe Photoshop CS2 with a mouse, yep.
7. Anything else you’d like to share?
I really hope this site still exist a lot more years, is already been almost 10 years for me and I can honestly say that it's been and it will always be part of my life. When I get old, my ranking will be Otaku Elder and instead of a cupcake I want a beard *thumbsup*
8. What are some of your favorite works that you've created?
