INTERVIEW #2 - Scarah!
Original poster: snarrymod
Your Name (and lj name if different): Scarah scarah2
Your Team: Team Angst whooo!(teamangst_art)
1. What made you decide on Team Angst?
There was no Team Lolz! I figure I fail romance even more than angst, so that was pretty much it.
Mod says: There will be, next year.../cryptic
2. Which HP character is your favourite to create in art?
There are so many! Harry is the one I draw the most, so he almost sort of draws himself. I draw Snape a lot too. I like to draw Hermione because of her hair, and Lucius because I shamelessly movie-canon the shit out of him and I always make him with a shit eating grin. I discovered pretty recently that house elves are actually really fun to draw.
3. Has your experience in fandom changed the way you do art? How?
Oh my yes. I do a lot of cartoons with dialog, and some of them have gotten pretty meta. Harry surfing the internet, finding porn and drama, that kind of thing. Even if the joke is purely from canon, a lot of them are inspired by what's going on in fandom at the time. Like after HBP, I did a lot of jokes to try and sort of bring the lighter side of what happened in the book, since a lot of my friends list was !!!! about a lot of it.
4. Do you prefer drawing your own scenarios, or drawing scenes from canon?
Man, I really enjoy both. I like to draw scenes from canon and talk to people about whether they imagined it similarly or differently. But made up scenarios are great too, because you can just have something ridiculous like Dumbledore making a rap video on the beach during summer hols.
5. What made you decide to draw fanart the first time? Which fandom was it?
Umm... I may have drawn the Duran Duran guys in junior high. *hides* Other than that, Harry Potter. And it was just little cartoons to crack up my friends.
6. Who is your favourite fandom artist?
<3333 them ALL. Yes every one of you. But pnkrockbigmouth is my crack orphan that I had in the bathroom before eating a salad and going back to the prom.
7. Have you ever been inspired to draw fanart for a fanfiction work? Why?
I have, but since I draw humor I'm always afraid I'm going to piss off an author. :/ I've had the awesome good fortune to do a couple of short collabs with moshes, which is actually probably the only other angst I've drawn.
8. What are your favourite mediums to work with?
Cheap ass computer paper. Sometimes I just scribble directly in Sharpie, other times I sketch it first in mechanical pencil. Then I go over it in Sakura Micron pen. Then I erase it using the white polyurethane eraser. That is the One True Eraser. I either make hatching with the Micron, or scan in the outline and color it in Photoshop. I savagely abuse all the Photoshop tools you're not supposed to, like Dodge and Burn.
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?
For the purposes of this fest, I'm going to define "most proud of" as "I managed to pretty much keep a straight face while doing it."
Illustration for a Mosh ficlet.
Remix of icarusinwax's painting.
I just like this one because of the fire.
Oh and this is kinda cute, my last xmas card.
And here's one little lol Rocky Harry Potter Show.
And And one more because I haven't bled your eyeballs quite enough.
10. Are you excited about the Snarry Games?
Hell yes, motherfucker!
Thank you, scarah2!
