INTERVIEW #4 - Hill!
Original poster: snarrymod
Your Name (and lj name if different): hill_
Your Team: Angst! (teamangst_art)
1. What made you decide on Team Angst?
I wanted a challenge. I think it's a bit more difficult to depict an angsty scene than a romantic scene.
2. Which HP character is your favourite to create in art?
Probably Snape. I think I've drawn him more than anyone else. Having sex with everyone too. He gets around!
3. Has your experience in fandom changed the way you do art? How?
Yes. I like to respond to challenges and prompts, and illustrate fanfiction. But I'm finding I've narrowed down in what I like to draw. I like to draw all my OTPs, obviously. But I'm not too interested in drawing minor characters, or female characters in general really. I will if a scene calls for it though.
I am also more aware of my shortcomings as an artist since I started doing fanart. You see so many excellent artists all the time, that do detailed backgrounds and accurate anatomy. It's great to know you can ask people for advice (which I should do more of).
4. Do you prefer drawing your own scenarios, or drawing scenes from canon?
I've been mostly doing my own thing since I started, but I'd like to do more canon scenes.
5. What made you decide to draw fanart the first time? Which fandom was it?
I was very inspired by some art I saw by Sherant and Duckpuppy on the Potter Slash Archive site. It really made me want to do it too! I hadn't been drawing for about 15 years, so I was pretty rusty, lol.
6. Who is your favourite fandom artist?
Do I have to pick only one, because I can't. I'd say sherant, Duckpuppy, and mudblood428.
7. Have you ever been inspired to draw fanart for a fanfiction work? Why?
The very first stories I was inspired to illustrate were three Snarry stories by Devi the Wynter Wytch (Growing Up, Just a Few Letters Off, and The Wizard's Bond). I just really loved how the author wrote the relationship between Harry and Snape. Since then, I've done tons of drawings for fanfic that I've really loved reading. Fanfic is such a huge source of inspiration for me.
8. What are your favourite mediums to work with?
I like to use natural media. Ink, pencils, watercolors, pastels and charcoal.
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?

10. Are you excited about the Snarry Games?
I really am! There's a ton of fantastic artists participating and I can't wait to see what people come up with. I talked an amazing artist friend of mine empress_miyu into joining up too, I'm just dying to see what he does! Even if the opposing team wins, I think we all win anyway with a giant flood of Snarry art!
Mod says: Agreed!
Thank you, hill_!
