BZPower Artist Interview #3 - Fsnorglepuff

It's time for another BZPower artist interview! This time, brilliant MoCist Fsnorglepuff agreed to answer a few questions - and make the fantastic banner. (Thank you! =D) Read on for the interview. ^^ When did you first start MoCing?   I started MOCing back in 2001, at my neighbor's house mostly because I didn't have anything more than Lewa and a couple of Bohrok (whereas he had many decomposed rahi and technic sets).   What does your process when building a MoC usually look like?   I almost a

(it's a clickable thumbnail)   Have I ever mentioned that I absolutely love some of the expressions in the Sims games? No? You sure? I think it's been several dozen times already... ah well.   Oh look the awesome graphics if they were any better my computer would crash even more often when playing this game wheeeeee

on style

The reason for this entry? I'll get to it in a second. First I'd like to mention one or two other things, though.   Like the question what a 'style' actually is. A way of dressing? Wearing only certain kind of accessory? Personal taste or trying to fit into a group? Maybe a bit of all of those things. Of course, what you wear or look like often influences the first impression people get of you. No wait, actually pretty much all the time. So what someone decides to wear should reflect what they'r

This blog is lacking SOMETHING

Apparently. But this time it's not art (how curious)   *sigh*   Anyways, guess who finally, after several months bought a Lego set again. Yep, I did. One of the Monster Fighters sets. Those monster minifigures are adorable - and once again I prefer the bad guys over the heroes. How unusual.   Now I just need to go and make a cape for the Vampyre.

Moment of realization [Art]

Link (click to view...)   I'm currently experiencing a horrible, horrible lack of motivation and ideas. Seriously, it's all so... dull. Boring. >< But at least I can still do small scribbles... oh look, it's Johnny again. This time in Chibi form *sigh* I'm so unoriginal today ._.

Name change?

... I feel like I could use some change again, but right now I have absolutely no idea, apart from some silly ones, of course. Examples?   Jonathan Twoblade Takarion Avon Swordswinger Deathbringer   ... See what I mean? They're awful. And the first 2 names are those of male characters, too. xD (not that I'd mind, but somehow the idea is a bit... weird. xD

Some screenshots

... and nooo, no Sims 2 snapshots this time. Just some RPG characters of mine, because I discovered the snapshot-key. Yay. No Johnny though, because that was after... no wait, I could make some of him later, too. xD   (click to enlarge)   One of my beloved little elves. Well, 'little' is probably not the right adjective, since she's a fully grown warrioress... ah well. Currently I'm totally ignoring the fact that in this universe metal makes it impossible for the wearer to use magic (as

Back.

So I just got back from a 2 week trip. Which means I survived an almost 12-hour car journey. Wow.   Some art updates might be up this week, along with a comic (that's about half finished, and, behold, in colour...), but I can't promise to get everything done tomorrow. Really can't.   What else, what else... hm. My mind is sorta blank again, but that's because I spent most of the last hours daydreaming, but the I-am-sorta-developing-a-plot kind. Went through 4 different scenarios, and event thoug

Finished the book.

Yayayay! =D   It worked so much better than expected - I mean, yes, I didn't understand every single word, but I could follow the plot and find out a lot about the characters. What now? Read it again! =D

Quick tip for colouring a hand-drawn comic

Take your time. Rushing will only lead to uneven colouring, lack of depth in both colour and shading, and inconsistencies. Trust me on that. It's better if you do it panel by panel, and take breaks in between. Like, 30 minutes for one panel, a break of 15 minutes or more, then the next panel. (time's estimated, it depends on your colouring style )

Lo leggerò, lo leggerò...

[Translation: I will read it, I will read it...]   You know, IMO Italian is such a beautiful language. And for that, it's a language I'd love to be fluent in. The problem is, 4 years at school just don't really suffice. I mean yes, you're able to gain some basic skills, but just as with any language, practise is crucial. Therefore, reading is also crucial.   At least this approach has always worked for me. So yesterday, when I found an italian fantasy novel that sounded interesting, I decided to

Sale, Sole, Sabbia

[Translation: Salt, Sun, Sand ]   Yep. I really enjoy going to the beach. ^^ And heeey, I got some comics in the making, but it will still take quite a while 'till they'll be posted... 2 weeks, as always. :3   Apart from that, I'm really really lazy right now. xD

Still sorta tired

But it's much, much better now. ^^   Apart from that, I sadly don't really have much to blog about right now... so, how is everyone?

*ahem* Sorry guys, but I had only 2 hours of sleep last night, if any. Not sure. I only remeber that I last checked the clock at midnight, then still lay awake for a while, and had to get up at 2:35 again. Yaaaay. ><   BTW, coffee is a serious miracle potion.

Tidying things up a bit...

... because, as much as I love having lots and lots of images on my blog, I fear they might be a waste of bandwidth when it comes to mobile internet...   So yeah, this falls under preparations. =D

(^ that's a thumbnail, you can click it! =D)   Here's the ultimate proof that I can't draw dwarves. At all. >< The colour is actually less vibrant IRL, but since my scanner apparently really hates the paper of my sketchbook, I had to play around to make it even visible... ah well.   Remember, never focus on only one thing when drawing. Others might become really hard to do, then. :/

Getting better, yay, and nooo, that's not because I went shopping with my mum and my sis. Well maybe. Aaanyways, I was quite amused when we went to a book store, because out of the three books I found, two were dealing with vampires   One being more the kid/teenie-oriented type, with chapters like "What type of vampire are you", "How to become a vampire" and of course, "What to do with your new undead life". But what's funny about it is that I found many hints to the gothic subculture (both amo

I know I haven't been very active on here lately... neither have I been IRL. At the moment I just don't really know what I am supposed to do with myself...   Drawing doesn't work that well either, maybe that's the source of my trouble, who knows. Now excuse me while I drown my sadness in RPGs. ><

Heroism is serious business [Art]

(click for higher resolution ^^)   Random fact: I rarely call RPG characters by their full names, and it doesn't matter if they're "my" characters or NPCs. ^^   Poor little guy. x3   and I know there are several drawing errors, but hey, this was scribbled down within 15 minutes, so it's more a doodle than a drawing, anyway.^^   Edit: temporarily exchanged the thumbnail for an even smaller version

'cause there can never be enough knights...

In other words: I changed my banner again. This time featuring a panel from a comic I did back in 2010 for my school's students' magazine. Yep. An oldie, but a goodie. ^^   Aaand dear Johnny is in my avatar. For now.

Apparently games have changed a lot over time...

Alternative title: I have no idea what I'm doing =/   Remember when I talked about a veery old game that I bought back in June? Right, that one. I haven't gotten anywhere so far. It's simply confusing, and as much as tutorials sometinmes annoy me, I realised that in a way they do make sense, especially for complex games... ah well.   So now I want to give it another try, which means that I studied the handbook/guide/however you call it, printed out relevant parts (like the list of available weap

Because, Dwarfs.

... I should really stop playing as elves in Rpgs just because they're elves. =/ Why? Well, my sis is currently playing a dwarf in a fantasy RPG that we both enjoy, and when I compared the charatcer stats to those of my elven warrior, I realized that he dwarf is far, far better... and soooooo adorable. =3   Hrmpf. Never easy.
