INTERVIEW # 12, Stella Moon!
Original poster: snarrymod
Your Name (and lj name if different): stellamoon
Your Team: Team Romance (teamromance_art)
1. What made you decide on Team Romance?
I’m not a big fan of angst, in general, unless there can be a happy ending. I really don’t like to suffer vicariously through the fictional characters. I much prefer the romance!
2. Which HP character is your favourite to create in art?
Well, please don’t boo at me, but umm, .....it’s Draco. Or maybe Harry. This will be my first attempt at Snape.
3. Has your experience in fandom changed the way you do art? How?
Actually, I have done very little fan art. I have been an artist all my life, but always drew only wildlife. After Book 5 came out, I was looking to extend my “Harry Potter experience”, and stumbled upon fanfiction. I immediately realized that I wanted to bring to life some of the beautiful images of the characters that I could see in my mind, but I had never really drawn people before. So, I gave it a shot and……it was absolutely awful! But then I was more motivated than ever. So, I bought a wonderful instructional book, followed all the exercises, and eventually became fairly good at it. I’ve been drawing people ever since; as much as possible. So, my fandom experience has completely reshaped my art!
4. Do you prefer drawing your own scenarios, or drawing scenes from canon?
I have no interest at all, in drawing canon scenes, with one exception. I’d like to someday tackle the scene from Book 6 on the tower with Snape and Dumbledore.
5. What made you decide to draw fanart the first time? Which fandom was it?
See number 3, above.
6. Who is your favourite fandom artist?
I would have to say it’s my teammate, undunoops.
7. Have you ever been inspired to draw fanart for a fanfiction work? Why?
Actually, a friend of mine is in the process of writing something, and I’ll be doing illustrations for all the chapters. But otherwise, I’ve only ever drawn characters, and not actual scenes from fanfiction.
8. What are your favourite mediums to work with?
I’m most comfortable with graphite on paper. But I recently bought Photoshop CS2. I’m anxious to do stuff with it, but I totally don’t have a clue how to use it!!
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?
Original works:
With Pigeons in the Park
Girl
Ten Minutes
Fan Art:
Sslytherin
10. Are you excited about the Snarry Games?
I’ve been excited ever since the Winter Games started! Go Team Romance!!
Thank you, stellamoon!
