INTERVIEW # 11, Froggie!
Original poster: snarrymod
Your Name (and lj name if different): froggie
Your Team: Team Angst! (teamangst_art)
1. What made you decide on Team Angst?
Romance felt too easy. It would be so easy to just draw them fucking ten different ways till Sunday. I wanted to do something that would genuinely challenge me (and it is). One of my favorite things about this pairing is that it’s not easy for them when it’s done well (in my opinion).
2. Which HP character is your favourite to create in art?
I like drawing Harry because he’s such an easy vessel character. JK Rowling uses him as a vessel for the things he does, so apart from a temper and awkwardness, he can be interpreted in so many ways through both art and fic.
I’ve also started drawing Snape very recently because I feel like he has the most interesting face. I love drawing exaggerated features and making his beautiful ugliness.
3. Has your experience in fandom changed the way you do art? How?
If it weren’t for fandom, I never would have tried digital art, never mind bought a tablet. I’ve also learned how important it is to use COLOR in your work. I know that should have been an obvious thing, but until I started drawing for fandom I often just did simple linearts and never bothered to color them.
4. Do you prefer drawing your own scenarios, or drawing scenes from canon?
I don’t think I’ve ever drawn anything canon in my life. I just like playing with the characters—(which is why my fanart is a lot less "HP art" and a lot more "bastardization of children’s book characters")
5. What made you decide to draw fanart the first time? Which fandom was it?
Hm…I drew a lot of catwoman when I was five because I’ve always wanted to be Catwoman. Otherwise, my first fanarts were for yaoi fandoms.
6. Who is your favourite fandom artist?
I have quite a lot, and I certainly couldn’t pick any one. duckpuppy’s was the first fanart I ever saw, and inspired me to start creating. I also miss nebulaean because I saw so much originality in her fanart. As for currently in the fandom? Too many to list.
7. Have you ever been inspired to draw fanart for a fanfiction work? Why?
I did big_bang_hd, but that was more of an assignment sort of thing… If a fanfic inspires me enough, I feel like I want to thank the author for writing it in the first place and giving me the enjoyment. Fanart is my sort of thank-you (I never have any time for it though.)
8. What are your favourite mediums to work with?
I really prefer natural media over anything. My main fanart mediums are ink with watercolor coloring, or else just pencil. I occasionally use photoshop and a tablet.
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 actually went back and researched this question for a bit because I’m very critical of my work. Overall…

10. Are you excited about the Snarry Games?
Yes, because I’ve drawn Snarry once in my life about a year ago, and at one point I swore I’d never do it. Now I love the pairing and I love a challenge.
Thank you, froggie!
