TEAM MEMBER INTERVIEW #46 -- Natasha!
Original poster: snarrymod
Your Name (and lj name if different): Natasha / calyxess
Your Snarry Games Team: Team Romance teamromance_art
1. What made you decide on Team Romance?
I just adore seeing Harry and Snape being all affectionate and romantic on their really weird level. :D
Because really, they throw stuff at each other and engage in random fights out of love. :3
2. Which HP character is your favourite to create in art?
Oooh, so many. I love to draw Harry and Draco, but I also have designs for them, so they're the easiest really. I realized right before I started working on my part for the team, that I didn't draw Snape all that much. Now I love him though. He's so fun to draw. Especially his greasy hair. You can make it go all swishy when Harry throws things at him. *hee*
Not to forget Hermione. She's such an interesting character to draw. With her wild hair, books and crazy personality. :D
3. Has your experience in fandom changed the way you do art? How?
Fandom made me. :B
Even though I was trying to drawing since forever, I really got into it when I saw some HP fanart in 1999/2000. Then came LJ with more HP fanart and fanartists. Who were my gods at the time. I was this 13 year old kid who was trying to improve and become really good, and learned everything from HP fanart. Mostly.
So at first I didn't have my own style yet, and was picking up lines and ways to draw from other artists. It was the most hilarious thing ever. I could just glance at one of my drawings and say: "ZOMG, the face and hair and totally monstarling's, the arms are fiendling's, hands are lunulet's and the shoes so very glockglal's. Well crap." This drove me mad in the beginning, because I was so used to all these styles, I couldn't come up with one of my own. Heh.
Later came artsy books and all that, but still. It it wasn't for fandom, I wouldn't have improved half as much as I did. <3
4. Do you prefer drawing your own scenarios, or drawing scenes from canon?
Both are fun to do, but I prefer my own scenarios, I guess.
I like drawing scenes from the books, because I can actually draw something I imagined and visualized before in my mind. Make a scene more real and solid. And it's cannon, so all the more yay.
But drawing my own scenarios is so much more fun, because I can make the characters do anything with anybody. And then I can squee about it. X)
5. What made you decide to draw fanart the first time? Which fandom was it?
HP was my first fandom ever and, as I said before, the one that inspired me to actually go and draw the characters from the books. It just seemed like so much fun. Taking the characters. Making them do whatever. Dance naked in the Great hall, have wild monkey sex with old professors. It's almost like fanfiction. But not.
:D
6. Who is your favourite fandom artist?
I love the whole fandom and it's artists. I really don't have a favourite.
I might be a bit more attached to the 'older' artists who were here since almost the start of LJ, but that's just my love from long years of lurking kicking in.
7. Have you ever been inspired to draw fanart for a fanfiction work? Why?
Have I ever. :3
Because it was just so good, it couldn't not be drawn. But I suck at background am lazy and usually just do some sketches of the characters.
8. What are your favourite mediums to work with?
I love to draw with pencils, but I also adore anything digital. *pats tablet*
I have much love for my dry pastels as well, though I usually use them only for my rl commissions.
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?
All of my good original drawings were commissions I wasn't able to scan. I have some HP art, but I'm not proud of any. XP It's mostly just boring stuff. I have a few wips that I really do like, but I can't show them to you yet. Poo.
10. Are you excited about the Snarry Games?
Oh yes! I can't wait 'till next week. *flings self around*
Thank you, calyxess!
