A compilation of questions and answers from an Artist Ask meme
Fav character who’s annoying
Luckily I don’t have anyone I find difficult or annoying to draw!
Fav subject that causes me suffering and misery to draw
My historical comics lol. All this ornamentation and decoration and material culture research more often than not drives me down to bonkers town (positive)
A medium of art you don’t work in but appreciate
Theatre (book, music, production design) and songcraft
Any favorite motifs
I wouldn’t say it’s a favourite motif, but “looking at oneself on a reflective surface” has been emerging quite often in my recent works lol
Something everyone else finds hard to draw but you enjoy
Horses, and decorative flourishes in my historical comics.
Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by
It’s been ages since I last got a comment like this. The last one compared my style to Samurai Jack?
What are your file name conventions
I am Normal and title my files with their names (comics have a Chapter_Spread_Page format, illustrations/scripts have titles). Sometimes it backfires on me when I forget the name, especially if I break the convention and name a throwaway piece as ‘HAHAWHATEVER”
Media you love, but doesn’t inspire you artistically
Music?? I enjoy listening to music while I work and creating playlists for graphic novel projects, but they seem more like mood setters or stabilisers rather than something that directly inspires ideas.
