Your Name (and lj name if different): AriadneElda (ariadneelda)
Your Games Team: Team Angst (teamangst_art)
1. What made you decide on Team Angst?
I didn't actually decide. I nearly missed the invitation deadline because I was away on holidays but there was still a spot on Team Angst. Seeing that I'm a sucker for angst, I couldn't believe my luck!
2. Which HP character is your favourite to create in art?
Snape, hands down! He certainly has very interesting facial features, not to mention he's my most favourite HP character. I just love drawing that nose, although I'm still not totally pleased with my Snape nose. I also draw a lot of Sirius and Lucius.
3. Has your experience in fandom changed the way you do art? How?
Yes. My art's improved. I've learned more about anatomy, proportions, perspective, and I've learned to use Photoshop, mostly thanks to tutorials of other fanartists. But most importantly, fandom is what made me start drawing again after many, many years of hardly drawing anything at all. I'm really grateful for that.
4. Do you prefer drawing your own scenarios, or drawing scenes from canon?
Given the amount of smut I draw, I'd say definitely not canon scenes. *g*
5. What made you decide to draw fanart the first time? Which fandom was it?
Do all the Disney characters I used to draw as a child count as fanart? Probably not. ;-) So I guess my first fandom was and is HP. I really wanted to participate in fandom in some way, and after I decided I couldn't really write, I realised that drawing was much easier for me.
6. Who is your favourite fandom artist?
There's no way I could narrow it down to just one artist. I have a very, very long list of favourite fanartists. But on top of that list are probably ponderosa121, yukipon, lizardspots, fiendling and caladan_dd. I also really adore hill_'s style.
7. Have you ever been inspired to draw fanart for a fanfiction work? Why?
I've never drawn fanart for a fic, even though I'd love to. Especially for certain stories that have blown me away. But I find it... almost intimidating. Like I could never do justice to such amazing pieces of writing.
8. What are your favourite mediums to work with?
Photoshop and my tablet. Or sometimes pencil - for the lineart. What can I say? I find it very convenient to be able to fix the million mistakes of my lineart. Plus, I don't really have much experience with traditional media. I'd like to try my hand at it at some point, though.
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'm the kind of person who's never completely satisfied with anything I do. But usually, it's my latest pieces I like most.
Snape/Black (NWS)
Lucius/Harry (NWS, warning for non-con)
James/Snape/Sirius (NWS)
And an older Snarry (NWS), since, well, it's all about the Snarry here!
None of the characters is underage in these pics, if you're concerned about it.
10. Are you excited about the Snarry Games?
Oh, totally! In a terribly nervous sort of way. :D
Thank you, ariadneelda
