An Interview With: zappyspiker!
http://i.imgur.com/c1D37b8.png Getting this thread up took longer than expected, but I guess it's finally my turn!
L I N K S Gallery [x] Twitter links are on my signature - however most of my other media/portfolio are undergoing a revamp atm. Fire away with the questions! |
First and foremost: OMFG have you seen the new Ladybug episode WHAT DID YOU THINK AND DID YOU HAVE AN EMOTIONAL OUTBURST LIKE I DID--
Sorry that's not art related but I was pretty much screaming at my screen during the whole episode-- like one continuous 25 minute long scream, plus the screaming after rewatching the best parts 2 or 3 times. LOL... Anyway Out of all your mediums, which is the one that you a) Like the most and b) Think you're the best at and c) Most want to improve? And the corresponding reasons why! |

Art related or not, there's always time for Miraculous Ladybug xD But jfc these last few episodes are killing me ;-; Emotional outburst is an understatement ;-; These two adorable cuties will actually be the death of me. rewatches 5 million more times As for the questions! a) Like the most: Hard because it changes depending on what I'm craving to work on at the time - not to mention why I can do a lot of different things because I could never choose a favourite to begin with. I'd say currently Videotography, Photography and Graphics since I've been hyped up about getting back into them. There the ones I haven't been able to work on for a while, but I still love them the most - also because they're the first three I started with. b) Think you're the best at Graphics maybe? Not specific things like tags or such, but in general - probably because it's the thing I've spent longest on. c) Most want to improve? If I could say everything I would haha. Though the most? Graphics (jfc all my answers have graphics in them haha) probably because I've barely touched it the last couple of years, 3D modelling since I haven't been able to spend much time outside of class on it and Animation because I'm not that great at it. |

I guess there are the bunch of artists from '09-'11 who first got me in to art on this forum in the first place and who were constantly able to inspire me to continue doing more art and design even if A&D was pretty harsh and scary back then: Dukey, Color Me Evil, Comic Tragedy, Angela, .raiden (who I think is the bitter end. on PC), Gummy, Alternative, seeker, moments., derozio, Galukxy, R a c h e l, Cycle, Comic Tragedy for graphics Anastasia.R and Signomi in terms of Digital Art and Forever and Captain Fabio for photography. Probably not even all of the pieces of this artistic inspirational cake I've been eating away for the last 7 years, but you can see it's hard to choose just one. As of now, the people most inspiring me atm would be everyone on the A&D skype chat. I came back to PC because I was lacking the inspiration needed to design and to art irl and especially as of recent, all the excited talk in the group has given me my inspiration back xDOutside of PC there's only a few: Youtubers: BakaArts, Good Blood Games, New Age Creators, CharlieMarieTV and Jacksgap who all have extremely nice designed and creative videos.

I love it because it's minimalist design makes my work look both clean, simple and professional (specifically if I'm using the style in presentations). Colours are often soft to the eyes and it makes things a lot easier for me when I have to translate my designs into useable websites. However after using it for so long, I dislike how I just feel like I'm jumping onto the flat design/minimalist bandwagon - even though it just started with me using bauhaus as a design precedent. It's not as easy to be creative when everything looks the same and the rules are harder to break. I mean this is one of my first bauhaus inspired pieces from like 5 years ago xD with gross typography Spoiler:
To something I created at the end of last year: Spoiler:
My kind of aim for this year was to move slightly away from constantly using this style - even though by habit I'll end up drifting towards it. |

Spoiler:
Yeah I feel you on Bauhaus though. Flat design is the design marvel of the modern world and I've fallen in love with it too. What has designing a game taught you? |

Breaking that rule so many times has caused most of the problems on the games I've worked on Too many things really. A lot of team member related things like:

Hey there! Saw your gallery and loved your stuff so I thought I could post some questions!
Is there anything in particular that you're working on now? Any big projects you plan to partake? What's your workspace like? Why did you choose to do multiple types of art? |

http://i835.photobucket.com/albums/zz279/zkytonblazer/DSC_0007-1.jpg Truthfully I actually spend a lot more time at university doing my work than at home so I call it more of my workspace than I do at home. Made the gif I tad bit fast by accident. But this what my workspace is like at university. This is an ad for the program that I'm in actually xD I'm there twice for like a second, but you only see the back of my head in this shot - didn't gif the one with me actually in it. Quote:
Graphics started on PC, photography and videotography came along because I always have had a camera. Digital art? I was always into sketching and my parents bought a tablet because they thought it was cool - I actually had no idea what it was to begin with, so when I first heard about it and saw art work I though "Hey! I have a tablet already". Gif making was from tumblr and everything else came from either secondary school or university and I just ended up loving doing them. |
What is something you wish you would have learned/figured out sooner? Is there something you think that could have really helped you out when you younger, or something like that.

I wish back then I could have picked out drawing books at the library or found tutorials on the internet on certain techniques on how to draw things (e.g human anatomy and environmental related stuff). |
