TEAM MEMBER INTERVIEW # 42, Canonfodder!
Original poster: snarrymod
Your Name (and lj name if different): Canonfodder (canonfodder123)
Your Snarry Games Team: Team Romance! (YAAY!) (teamromance_art)
1. What made you decide on Team Romance?
It was a tough one - I like drawing dramatics which would have fitted in with angst, but I love drawing sweet romantic stuff as well! In the end I flipped a coin (though I'll admit I was actually pretty relieved that it turned out Romance!!!)
2. Which HP character is your favourite to create in art?
Snape with [insert...well, pretty much anyone, here!] and Draco (so pretty!) and Lucius. I also have a soft spot for Neville - but find him harder to draw!
3. Has your experience in fandom changed the way you do art? How?
I think so! I think my drawing has improved since I started - I know I enjoy doing it a lot more. Plus I now actually finish drawings off properly instead of leaving trails of dodgy half-finished smut-art around the house :D
4. Do you prefer drawing your own scenarios, or drawing scenes from canon?
I prefer my own, since they're mostly slash.
Mod says: Hey? What are you saying? It's not CANON? Pfft.
5. What made you decide to draw fanart the first time? Which fandom was it?
Coming across the Illusions website while reading fanfic and finding out that people actually did fan-art too!!! It blew me away - I was so excited to find it and at the same time totally scared of actually putting something of my own up! Then I found deviantArt - which wasn't quite so scary and haven't looked back since.
6. Who is your favourite fandom artist?
I have many! I'll name a few - but I keep finding new ones all the time! There's some great art out there....
OK - I've loved watching tripperfunster's progress :D Apart from turning into a good friend (and smut-baby co-parent :D), she's also become an incredible artist - I'm starting to get used to my jaw dropping every time she puts something new up now! :D
mieronna's style I admire SO much - such amazing detail!
lysa1 and vimessy's Lucius drawings totally satisfy my Lucius cravings.
I've also been a long-time fan of midnight_ljc
...and I REALLY can't forget perselus who draws such beautiful Snapes....I could go on forever (but I'll be good and stop!)
7. Have you ever been inspired to draw fanart for a fanfiction work? Why?
Oh definitely! Tripperfunster & Almaxaquotal to name two! Lovely smut! and I've also been randomly completely inspired by a few writers to draw either illustrations or fic-inspired art (even if it’s just for myself!)....Lysa's fics particularly spark many Snack ideas!!!!! I love her characterisations of those two.
8. What are your favourite mediums to work with?
Mostly pencil, but I also like ink, and pastel & water on canvas.
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 just like this one: http://canonfodder123.livejournal.com/3
And I also love drawing birds: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/338
10. Are you excited about the Snarry Games?
Definitely!!! I can't believe I'm in it - I loved the fic-games – I just hope what I do is worthy!!
Thank you, canonfodder123!
