Interview with this months Featured Artist, by Razzi


What do you think helped you improve so drastically in your 2 years at TLKFAA?
To keep at it and practice makes perfect, like I said we all start at the same place depends on the artist how they improve, had a lot of great artists around me and at fist I cud only wish to be as good as them, I’m not far off, and I still think there’s always room for improvement.

What’s your favorite part about TLKFAA/Lilymud?
My favourite part would have to be when there’s new uploads, I enjoy seeing how people improve or seeing master pieces!

What did you think when you first saw TLK? Now that you’re older and more artistically knowledgeable, what do you think when you watch it?
I still enjoy watching it and still am amazed , now im older I can appriate it a lot more, when I was younger I wud just concentrate on the character and never the backgrounds, there amazing and the quality is so great, stunning and it always will be.

What do you think effects the way you draw the most?
Music. It helps me concentrate better so im often seen with my head phones in music at full blast while drawing.

What’s the biggest honor you’ve received about your art?
AoTM lol In the real world ive received certificates for outstanding progress, but I think the AoTM title at the archive is a lot more meaningful to me because its for art I love doing.

How far do you hope to take your art in the career world?
I want to be a Graphic designer and design logo,s I enjoy designing things, hopefully in a few years ill get the chance to work for Pentagram, I dnt think im good enough to be an animator esp the way its going all 3D so id prefer to keep it as just a hobby

What do you think about the new TLKFAA?
D: I honestly wasn’t sure about it at first, it was confusing, but now everythings clicked and I get on fine with it, I also think its great how more artists can be noticed now as before they weren’t. so great job to brian for doing that

How does it feel being a famous male in a dominantly female community?
Me famous X3 I think its great
