Your Name (and lj name if different): Ad Baculum gnomad
Your Team: TEAM ROMANCE! WHO HOO!
1. What made you decide on Team Romance?
It was a very long, drawn out, scientific process. I looked carefully at my options and thought, ‘Hmm...romance seems easier for me to draw. Romance it is then!’
2. Which HP character is your favourite to create in art?
Snape! Well, ok, Snape’s nose. It’s so big and curvy! What’s not to love? The rest of him is really just there for context.
3. Has your experience in fandom changed the way you do art? How?
I think it’s made me better at drawing without a visual prompt. Before most of the art I did (outside of doodling) was based on something I could see in front of me— a model, a picture, etc. Fan art forced me to draw from just my imagination, which is a lot harder.
4. Do you prefer drawing your own scenarios, or drawing scenes from canon?
My own! Canon just isn’t as porny as it ought to be.
5. What made you decide to draw fanart the first time? Which fandom was it?
Public fan art? I think I was drawing it as a gift. It was definitely HP, though.
6. Who is your favourite fandom artist?
Hmm...undunoops has this fantastic piece called Slow Shag. I’ve seen a lot of fan art since I came to HP (especially since my acquisition of broadband), but there are very few occasions that I’ve had such a visceral reaction to a piece. I used to stare at this drawing for abnormally long lengths of time and get shivers at how gorgeous it was. Finding it marked the first time I coveted a piece of fan art to the same degree that I do my favorite fan fics. So, for that alone Undun is one of my favorite, if not my favorite fan artist in HP.
7. Have you ever been inspired to draw fanart for a fanfiction work? Why?
Not usually. Sometimes I read something and think it would make a good picture, but usually the scenes I have to draw are ones that pop into my head on their own and won’t go away.
8. What are your favourite mediums to work with?
Pencils! Wonderful pencils! My love of graphite knows no bounds. Pastels and oils are fun too. I’m a total dunce when it comes to digital drawing. I have no tablet and my photoshop skills are limited to icon making, so anything you see from me will be drawn without my trusty computer. :(
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 don’t think I have much of my art uploaded. Oh! If you all would like to see one of my cats, Lucifer, I’ve drawn her here. My scanner cut off part of the picture, but she’s mostly there.
10. Are you excited about the Snarry Games?
Has anyone ever said no to this question? Of course I’m excited! Nervous, but excited. :)
Thanks, gnomad!
