Artist, interviewed

[altocello]

There's a post up over at fanartivation in which I am the Featured Member of the Month (warning: contains me).

There were some really good questions, and it took a surprisingly long time for me to put it all together. If you're curious about my background, my process, and which of my arts I like the best, you should go read it. Many thanks to phoenixacid for organizing the opportunity, and I would encourage all my other artist friends who are members there to do it too!

Choosing a favorite art was somewhat surprisingly difficult, and so was choosing the 5 pieces to represent me as an artist to someone who's never seen my work. I'd be really interested to know if you guys would agree with my choices, and if not, which ones you'd pick instead (and why!)

Great interview, I really enjoyed reading it. And yes, fascinating to see which artwork pieces you chose.

Thank you, I wasn't sure if there was anything particularly new in there that hadn't come up in comment-conversation already, lol! I really did have a hard time choosing the arts, as I wanted my choices to represent the best of different mediums and characters I've done. Dunno how well I managed, but that was the idea. :-)

I particularly liked the section where you showed the art work from conception to finish, it's always really interesting to see how other people work.

I do love seeing WIPs, for the same reason. Like, with yours, I learned about the trick to hide the tooth of the canvas. Which is BRILLIANT,btw, if I haven't said so before. I'm glad you liked mine!

Also, I totally cheated when I picked the title page for "It's Complicated", lol because that way I got all 4 portraits in, but it only counted as one art. *g*

Not cheating at all. *G* They were all part of one composition on that page, so totally counts. *G*
