Interview me!!!
Hysterical
Sent me some questions and I answered them just now. Just thought I'd share the thing with y'all. Oooh, and lookie. It's 1 am. I have school in the morning.--------------------
Oh, shit! This slipped my mind. I'm so sorry.
So, for the people who don't know you, Introduce yourself.
My name's RJ(Yeah, I'll stick to that). I'm 20 years old and I'm currently a Fine Arts student in University of San Carlos, Cebu City, Philippines. Major in Advertising, in particular. I'm 5'10" and really fat.
I have no job(yet), and I still live with my family. I'm very insecure, and it often leads me to go on tantrums. Basic description--INSANE!>: D Haha. I'm extremely shy around girls I like, but not around big company people(which is really odd, if you ask me).What program do you use for you artwork?
Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator
What got you into doing the DigitalArt?
I merely installed Photoshop on my computer in mid 2006 and I decided to mess with it. D: It just happened. Way before that, I promoted traditional media like my life depended on it.DX
What is your favorite style of artwork?
Cartoon, retro, fantasy landscape, and a bit of steampunk. I'll say this, and I'll probably be hated for doing so. I'm not inclined to anime. It's more of a conformity than an art form. I'd rather work on my own tempo and rhythm that follow something that's uh..."already there". I'm happier and more comfortable finding my own way to create images.
Your art interesting, were do you get the inspiration?
Cartoons, life experiences, people, current events, and my own insecurities. I'm more of an emotional artist than an intellectual one.
For all the upcoming "Digital Artists" what tip would you say to them?
Goes for both digital and traditional artists. Work your ass off!
Honestly, it bothers me when people say to me, "I can't do it! It's too hard." Those words(which I see over and over again) are a perpetual waste of typing space and time. Well, if you think about it. I didn't get here way too fast, either. I'm not a prodigy. I made way more crappy drawings and came up with even more crappier ideas before I began to think like a real...artist? How do I define an artist? All I know is, every one of us has to follow a learning curve. Steep or otherwise. I prefer mine steep, thank you. Like my Professor Vega said, "You can achieve so much in one year by just seriously working your ass off(quoted). What more if you struggle for 3...or maybe 5 years?" That's why when my friends opt to play on the internet, I just separate myself from them and work for my future. I can play those games later. Seriously, PLAY THOSE GAMES LATER! Your metabolism isn't dependent on them. But don't get me wrong. Work is work. But I find time to hang out with them. Same is the case with my family. My point is, if you can be productive, BE PRODUCTIVE. Suck up the "it's too hard" junk and grab a pen and a piece of paper.Here's something easier. Draw something. Is it good or bad? Not sure? Put it on one side of the table. Draw the same thing on another sheet. Does it look different? Better? No? Do it again. Observe your own mistakes. Learn from them. And take that occasional look at references if you need to. But don't be overly dependent. You can't have others doing your dirty work for you.
I'm ranting, yeah. I'll move on to the next one.XP
Do you ever plan of changing you art style?
I have no existing style. The way I draw always evolves. Same thing applies for any other artist. Oftentimes, I adapt to get noticed, or just to spark some interest.
Before we finish, Do you have something to say to our readers?
It's 1 am now and I'm still watching cartoons, cuz I'm a dork like that. I do it almost every night. And during the day, I basically do the same thing. Well, if I don't go to school or do chores or sulk in my quiet place.
After I write this down, I'll be either sleeping or working some more. D:
Ta-dah! Sorry it took so long.X_____X *shame*

--------------------
Yeah, you guys. Go find some loopholes there. There probably are a lot. Cuz I was half asleep while I typed everything down. I don't wanna argue. Don't even try, cuz I'll probably just shrug you off. D: LOL that sounds mean. D: Sorry...DXXX
I'll update later, when I'm not rotting my mind with Nickelodeon classics during the withching hour.
Woosh, baby!*flies away*

MERMAIDS WILL AVENGE ME WHEN I DIE.
^^ -- Actually, I disagree with that. I'm not one of those vicious fangirls that attacks people for saying "anime isn't the best thing ever", because it isn't. As a matter of fact, its one of the most cliche forms of story telling to ever happen to the planet.
I will say this though. Despite the conformity that anime brings, you can't just say it isn't an art form. I myself as an example; I dislike watching anime. It's annoying. The characters almost always annoy me. I've always been more into video games. (not RPGs god, they take the same lines that anime have)
But I do illustrate from a manga-like prospective. So for you to assume that I draw manga style art to conform, i'd say it was a gross understatement on your part. That's like if I were to say that you were uniformly childish for drawing american cartoon format. I love it, so I couldn't possibly judge it. I love ART, that's why I feel I have to come to the defense of any type of work when its put down, and I have. I've had to come to the defense of american illustrations far more than anime, because despite the open-mindedness of the concept of anime, very few of its followers tend to be such. It's annoying to be lopped in the same bins as they are.
So, sorry for jumping on you there, but I just hate feeling like I have to justify myself every single time people talk about anime as if its the same as manga. Because they're both equally as artistic as any other form of art. And I'd say that art is art, also.
I don't like being defined and organized into an art form either, you know? xD But on a less serious note, all of us draw art to make ourselves content, why subject another group of people to a label of "conformity". Everything is a conformity, really.

The digital artists paragraphs was actually some good advice for me. I've been drawing parts of pictures then redrawing them on the same page for reviews and to see what's better.
Nice advice in there to people who don't know this stuff either.
