Your Snarry Games Team: Angst! teamangst_art
1. What made you decide on Team Angst?
I prefer angsty fics over the romantic ones and thought that my reading tastes might carry over into what I would like to draw.
2. Which HP character is your favourite to create in art?
Not a character, but I love drawing Snape’s nose, and, by default, Snape himself. Harry comes second since I enjoy making his hair as messy and unruly as possible.
3. Has your experience in fandom changed the way you do art? How?
It’s given me more confidence in my abilities and is a great source of inspiration. I really appreciate how many tutorials and guides have been created. It’s also helped me understand more clearly how I see certain characters in my head from seeing so many different versions of them by others.
4. Do you prefer drawing your own scenarios, or drawing scenes from canon?
Doing my own scenes gives me the opportunity to imagine something directly as I see it. I’ve drawn one or two canon scenes but find it more interesting to create my own scenarios.
5. What made you decide to draw fanart the first time? Which fandom was it?
I have been drawing characters from the Russian version of The Wizard of Oz ever since I was a kid. My desire to draw then had probably been prompted by the same spark of inspiration that makes me occasionally try to write or create something else now – an impulse, sudden and overpowering, to honor a favorite moment in a book or movie by recreating it.
6. Who is your favourite fandom artist?
djinniyah’s style is as close to my aesthetic ideal as possible and Snaples was the first artist who made me wish I could do something similar but there are many, many other artists who continue to amaze and delight me on a regular basis .
7. Have you ever been inspired to draw fanart for a fanfiction work? Why?
I’ve been more inspired by fanfiction than canon, really. It was for the same reasons – a scene resonating so strongly with me that I felt I could not continue doing anything else until I drew it.
8. What are your favourite mediums to work with?
I like using pens and pencils but am dabbling in watercolors right now and still trying to get the hang of coloring with a tablet in Photoshop.
9. Do you have a piece of art (fandom or original) you've done that you are most proud of? Would you link it here for us?
In fandom my favorite piece is of Harry chasing the Snitch, here: http://rouji.livejournal.com/86952.h
For original art my absolute favorite is a portrait of me, mid-sneeze, when I was five (it’s not as gross as it sounds) here: http://rouji.livejournal.com/98057.h
10. Are you excited about the Snarry Games?
Of course!
Thank you, rouji
