Hello Everyone!
Today I have a very special interview for you! I think by now that you've seen my gorgeous little Becky logo up in the banner - the gorgeous Chiichanny created her for me on commission! Chiichanny has agreed to a fun little interview with myself so you can learn more about her and her beautiful art!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: Your artist name is Chiichanny - who is behind Chiichanny and what made you pick the name, tell us a bit about yourself?
HEYA! yep im known as Chiichanny, but the lady behind the alias is Jade Love ::waves::
My name is a small but I guess kinda funny story, the first anime I ever fully watched from start to end was Chobits and I completely adored it, with Chii being my favourite character, when I finally got to the online world, I tried to join a forum and chii/chii-chan and all the sorts were taken, so I remixed it and decided to go with Chiichanny all as one word and it just kinda stuck from there haha. I think if I could go back in time and pick another name for my artist alias I probably would have, but after having the name for about 10 years, I just felt that it was too late to change my Alias now when many people out there DO know me as chiichanny, so yeah. As for more about me, I'm Female, live in the UK and I'm currently 24, my star sign is a scorpio and zodiac is a Horse... I'M A SCORPION HORSE a Horpio
Q: How long have you been an artist? What made you decide to share your beautiful art with the world?
Since I could hold a pen, scribble on walls, floors, anywhere haha. I didnt start taking it seriously til I was about 13 and I just knew that art was my passion and something I really loved doing, so I tried to keep taking it to the next level, when I was 14 I started going on art forums and such and I just kept going from there! I joined Deviantart about 8/9 years ago to share my work around, at the time I just wanted others to see, what is the point of doing anything if no one will ever know about it? ^^
Q: What inspires you?
Anything and Everything, I get inspired at random, ideas will just appear from the most random things and I'll want to draw it. It can be a puddle, a cloud, some rubbish or I'll just randomly think of something, its hard question to answer for me because its never consistent!
Q: What is your favourite medium to work with?
Although I love digital, I love Paint, pencils and markers for my traditional work.
Q: How do you think your art style has changed over the last few years?
Well when I first started I was drawing realism because at schools and such this is what they taught you, when I discovered video games and anime, my work progressed, I was drawing characters from the shows and when I got older I was confident enough to make my own characters, since then I've been evolving my work to reflect myself, my feelings and who I am inside.
Q: What would you like to achieve in the future?
I'd love to make a living out of my work, sell at conventions, online, and such. I want to make comic books, have a business with lots of hand made dolls to sell and then human clothes, accessories and more!
Q: It takes a lot of work to start a company, with Amare Dolls/Chiichanny what so far as been the most straight forward thing and what has been more complicated?
Gosh it is! for Amare Dolls, the most straight forward thing was designing the doll itself and then next to that is making it, that was the easiest part! The hardest part is the casting process, I had so many problems, like bubbles, leaking moulds, pimples, specs... I almost gave up at one point, but with help I finally got there! For my Art work, the idea is the easiest part, I have so many idea, the problem is making sure they are right and come across correctly once I'm drawing it, thats the hard part ^^
Q: Do you have a favourite piece of artwork by yourself?
I have two actually!
The first is the Huntress and the second is Butterfly Decay, even though I haven't finished Butterfly decay yet, I just like it!
Q: Where would you like to be in a years time?
Hmmmmmm I'd like to have my comic done, and I'd like to be earning at least part time minimum wage from my art and dolls by that point also haha. And have a years supply of Arizona Green Tea with Honey ... I'm addicted to it atm...
Q: If you could have any job in the world what would it be?
If I could have any part time paid job that I could just do whenever, I'd love to be a food and event critique, because I think I'd enjoy that in a wierd way XD
And just for fun!
