NTERVIEW #8 -- Pnkrockbigmouth!
Original poster: snarrymod
Your Name (and lj name if different): pnkrockbigmouth
Your Team: Angst!
1. What made you decide on Team Angst?
Sunshine, daisies, and rainbows aren't exactly what I think about when I think Snape/Harry, so that would have been too challenging for me. Plus I was told that Snape hitting Harry with a brick was angst. But that was a fucking LIE.
2. Which HP character is your favourite to create in art?
It's a toss-up between Voldemort and Snape. They are my favorite characters of the books, and who doesn't draw what they like? I like to draw them doing stupid shit, because I love the imagery of something awful happening to dignified people. Like when Fidel Castro tripped on that step.
3. Has your experience in fandom changed the way you do art? How?
It really has, because my artwork used to be just a bunch of lines and mess and looked like monkeys threw shit all over it. But this fandom gives SO MUCH encouragement and admiration to fanartists, I felt compelled to clean up my act and produce things people actually enjoy seeing, because I've come to realize I enjoy entertaining everyone else as much as I enjoy entertaining myself.
4. Do you prefer drawing your own scenarios, or drawing scenes from canon?
I do have a preference to draw my own scenarios because I like crack and randomness. Plus it's easier to just make up shit. Canon takes thought, honesty, and concentration, and I'm a brainless liar with ADD.
5. What made you decide to draw fanart the first time? Which fandom was it?
I used to watch the X-Men cartoon and Batman the Animated Series. Those were the first things I drew because I loved Gambit and Rogue and I wanted to see them kiss. Yeah, kissing is hard to draw. And also, Batman is so cool. Of course, all those drawings were crap and have been destroyed.
6. Who is your favourite fandom artist?
I enjoy every drawing I look at when it comes to Harry Potter, and I try to always comment when I can think of something better than, "Gee wiz, that's sure swell!" HOWEVER. My favorite artist ever is Paul Klee. Some people think he's crappy, but I think it's an amazing style I'm always in the mood for. Let me just say scarah2 is the Paul Klee of my Harry Potterverse
7. Have you ever been inspired to draw fanart for a fanfiction work? Why?
Yes I have, because I was so obsessed with Death Eaters At The Malfoy Estate I just had to draw Snape in the Pants of Erised.
8. What are your favourite mediums to work with?
I really like soft charcoal because it's like playing in dirt without bugs, but as far as Harry Potter artwork, I use PaintShop. There's a great line tool that you can do Point to Point lines and that's how I draw almost everything I share. Point by motherfucking point. It takes forever, and my wrist gets raw from having it rub on the mousepad for hours at a time, but I like the results. Sometimes I draw by hand with a number two pencil, but those look shitty.
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?
Yes, but let me say that I love all my drawings. I just love this one more than the others (at press time).
Snape Killed Dumbledore
10. Are you excited about the Snarry Games?
As far as what I have to do: I haven't been able to sleep since I chose my prompts because of strange haunting nightmares, so either I'm really excited about it, or I'm dreading it.
As far as everyone else is concerned: Fuck yes, I'm excited. I can't wait to see what everyone brings to the party!
Thank you, pnkrockbigmouth!
