Interview:
Q1: Why have you chose to submit art loyally to us for the past
few months?
A: I think RPGFan is a great site and always have. That's why I choose to
send my
work here first. Q2: Do you think your work has improved
from the time you first submitted to us right till your recent submissions?
A: It has definintely improved. My first submission did not have color
layers, and
with each new picture I have been adding more and more layers.
Q3: Do you think fan art should be taken to a new
level of expression or just simply deemed as fan art and nothing more?
A: I don't think fan art should be seen as just simply fan art; it is
a little more
than that, but not enough so that it should quite be taken as a new level
of
expression.
Q4: Have you any art background whatsoever or self taught?
A: I have been an avid artist since the age of two, and I'm just starting
my senior
year in high school. I have always loved to draw. The only background
I have has
been from art class. I have been teaching myself how to paint digitally
for the
last few years.
Q5: Do you have any plans to be a full time artist or make that
your course of study?
A: I plan to major in game art & design at a commercial arts college.
P.S. I use Adobe Photodeluxe for my pictures, because I don't
have photoshop, and
that program will only save pics in its own stupid format. So, I have
to print my
pics and then re-scan them as jpegs before I can send them in. That is
why they are
kind of faded and fuzzy. They look so much better on my computer. |
Title: Ifrit
Game/Inspiration: Final Fantasy XI
Comments: This is the same Ifrit picture that I previously submitted, (editor
note: but for some odd reason wasn't put up) only now it has color.

Title: Zack
Game/Inspiration: Final Fantasy VII
Comments: This is my interpretation of Zack from FF7. I got rid of his shoulder
armor. I also did not darken his hair, because I was afraid that I would
ruin the picture.

Title: Cloud
Game/Inspiration: Final Fantasy VII
Comments: I previously submitted this picture in black and white, but it
was not put up so I colored it and re-submitted it. I purposely did not
give him suspenders if you were wondering about that.

Title: Griever
Game/Inspiration: Final Fantasy VIII
Comments: I had been wanting to draw Griever for some time now. The Inspiration
Box got me motivated. Well Markus, I hope this makes you feel better. I
did modify his anatomy a little bit. He doesn't really have a nose in the
game and I eliminated that stupid extra joint on his upper arm.

Title: Spengler
Game Inspiration: Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Medium: pencils, Adobe Photodeluxe
Comments: I wanted to draw a Bangaa dragoon, so I did. I had to make up
most of the armor, but some parts were influenced by other characters from
this game and other Final Fantasy titles. I named it after my best dragoon
character in the game.
