TEAM MEMBER INTERVIEW # 41 - Yukipon!
Original poster: snarrymod
Your Name (and lj name if different): yukipon
Your Snarry Games Team: Team Angst (teamangst_art)
1. What made you decide on Team Angst?
I like this pairing in both angsty & romantic situation, but when I was late to join this round of Games, there was only one spot left …and that was the angst team, and I gladly took it. ^_^
2. Which HP character is your favourite to create in art?
When it comes to drawing, definitely Harry. And Snape.
3. Has your experience in fandom changed the way you do art? How?
I used to do my art all in analog before. I had PC and graphic software already and had a mild interest to do the colouring on PC, but I was too lazy to learn how to use them. Then after discovering HP slash, I gained the enthusiasm to do my art on PC, so I can run my site and have the translation of the slash I like, etc …all that ambition. *lol* Another major change was, the shift in my interest from het to slash. Completely. Before getting into HP, I wasn't interested in slash. I also didn't care about young & teenage boys at all. (How a person change!) So I really had to learn how to draw boys and young men which I never bother to draw before. And all those great fan fictions helped me immensely, giving lots of inspiration. And of course, the friendly support I get in this fandom (especially in lj) have been very encouraging & comforting, it helps me a lot.
4. Do you prefer drawing your own scenarios, or drawing scenes from canon?
My art style isn’t right (in very many ways) for drawing canon. And I prefer drawing fanon, quite few of my HP art are based on the fanfictions I like.
5. What made you decide to draw fanart the first time? Which fandom was it?
God, I don’t remember…I was already doodling all the time when I was 3 or 4 years old and I must have been drawing some anime or comic characters I liked then.
6. Who is your favourite fandom artist?
There are so many I can’t choose one. Chrono(11web), Yoshihiro, Mnemosyne, Wacca, Fuko Sakami, Acid, Pao Zouda, Umeko Suzuki, Dobio, Kairi Tokonatsu, Chirol, G, Jereeza, Brevisse, and the list goes on and on
7. Have you ever been inspired to draw fanart for a fanfiction work? Why?
Sole reason I got in HP fandom and started to draw HP art at all was being so fascinated and inspired by a HP fan fiction.(It was Silver’s “Petronius Series”.) I’m not a very imaginative person, and some of those fan fictions are written in such depth and great characterisation and much imagination, they give me all those visual images I want to put on the paper. I also draw art to get people to read the fictions I translated, like Petronius Series and If You Are Prepared. Sad thing is, I feel my art could never do justice to those great stories. *sigh*
8. What are your favourite mediums to work with?
Mechanical pencil (0.5mm) & cheap copying paper, colouring in Photoshop EL with Wacom pen tablet. I don’t think I can color in analog anymore. :P
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?
I’m more proud myself of doing the whole translation of ‘If You Are Prepared’ and getting hundreds of Japanese fans to read it, than anything I’ve drawn. ^_^
10. Are you excited about the Snarry Games?
Yup, excited to see lots of fabulous snarry art, nervous about drawing one myself.
Thank you, yukipon!
