CHAMPION INTERVIEW # 22 - Redpiratemel!
We welcome another veteran to the Games!

Your Name: redpiratemel on IJ and LJ
Your Team: DRAGON!!
Archive: (optional) At LJ: artpirate

1. Which HP character gives you the most trouble to draw?

Anyone male, lol. "Oops, he looks like a girl with stubble again...oops, I drew his penis the wrong way..." Don't worry, I won't enflict any damage on Harry and Snape.

2. What was the first fandom you ever produced art for?

Harry Potter, for sure.

3. Has your experience in fandom changed the way you do art? How?

Definitely. Fandom got me back into doing art in the first place, after about 10 years of nuthin'. Also, I've had much more fun exploring the kinkier side of art, thanks to fandom.

4. In a Snape/Harry/(Your team's Mascot) cage match, who wins?

So, why does there have to be fighting...? I say there's some marshmallow roasting fun to be had by all. Okay, if there were fighting the Dragon would totally win.

5. What are your favourite mediums to work with?

I love pencilling and inking by hand for that old school feeling. Then I follow it up with tablet coloring for that digital age satisfaction, baby.

6. What do you consider your strongest talent? Your weakest?

I guess my strongest talent is conveying a story or emotion in my art and comics. I like little details. My weakest is general anatomy and proportion, which I've kinda learned from just human observation rather than any lessons or training. Which I probably need.

7. Is there a piece of art that you think is your absolute best so far? Would you link it for us?

Absolute best? Not really, but I'm fond of this one: Bellatrix/Dementor, NWS..

8. What (or who) inspires you in Fandom?

When an artist really does the canon character justice, or makes you see them in a new light that fits...no matter how fanon it may be.

9. Fanfic writers often say the best compliment they can get for their stories is unsolicited fanart. What would you consider the highest form of compliment for your fanart?

When someone leaves a really genuine comment about how excited they were to see it, or how moved they were. When called for, an incoherent "OMFG SO HAWT I NEEDED A SHOWER" works for me too.

10. Are you excited about being in the Games this year?

The Snarry Games WINS above all else!!! I love this event. ♥!!

Thank you, redpiratemel! Stay tuned for more interviews and some Opening Games surprises!

	Hello, you! That icon's from the Swedish DH cover as far as I know, and I love it too. It's a great compliment that it reminds you of my art. Heh, if only! But thanks. :) And feel free to grab any of my icons you like, since they're shareable; just credit the makers. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

*reads over interview and bursts out laughing*

This would be the reason I love reading the Snarry Games Interviews! :)

"Oops, he looks like a girl with stubble again...oops, I drew his penis the wrong way..."

ROFL But that would be a catastrophe! "Girl with stubble..." LOL Would it help if I told you that THEY have to live with the body parts you give 'em? To them, you are GOD. Whatever you say goes. So please... please don't give them ugly, misshapen penises. I know a certain god(dess) who did enough damage to those two already. But then again, *smiles a la Umbridge* that's why there is heresy in the world. :P
