he's well known, he's well loved by all of us here in at Blogskins.com.
he's..... [drumroll]
LIONHEART!
be intimidated. haha well i was at first when i had first met the guy. turns out he's a very fun-loving fella and it was my pleasure to have the opportunity to interview him. (: and being my chatty chatty self after warming up to him. you'll see a lot of my reponses as well!
* * *
HELLO! would you mind if we do the interview now?
Sure
Tell us a bit about yourself.I'm Wang Guan. WOW. currently a J1 student at ACJC. I am doing Art as one of my subjects, inspired to become a designer in future. I'm straight-forward and LAME, and friends think i'm retarded and funny.
You sound like a simple guy.Of course :D
OH and i also want to direct a film in future.
wow, a designer AND a potential director, you must be very into the arts scene.yah i totally regret taking triple science cause i am so NOT a science person. I am not even doing the sciences now!
How did the name LIONHEART come about?Oh. In P6, i was obsessed with Final Fantasy 8. And Lionheart is like Squall Leonhart's limitbreak. And i totally love it. it's been stuck.
So why/how did you begin blogskinning?Because i have been blogging for VERY LONG. since sec 1. and i have been designing since. But i only became interested after seeing the newspaper report on skinners. that one that featured Anne? So i thought, HEY, i can do that too... so i joined.
There was an article? Any way to trace it? i would love to read it.hmm... i don't know.
diaos. Ok. So what inspires you?My emotions. I do whatever i FEEL and like. it's like automatism in art. if i want to do something ABSTRACT, i will do it. if i want to do something EMO, i will do it.
So i suppose you took the Creative Arts Programme [CAP] in Secondary School?NOPE. i'm doing H2 art only now.
WHOA! everyone! we have a natural talent here!haha. i guess art is one thing you can master yourself. sometimes you need guidance. but definitely no need for courses in art. just try out stuff and explore yourself. i mastered photoshop myself. :D just gotta have passion.
What are some difficulties you face when Blogskinning?coding? i'm always having coding problems.
doesn't everyone.yeah... and it's hard sometimes. BUT there are fellow skinners to help me!
like javier, kat, jeanette, eric, rachel, anne and people like that
looks like you know a lot of the skinners personally huh.yeah some old-time good skinners.
basically all the old skinners have left.
And you're joining that legion of old skinners? [sobs]basically i AM old.
How has Blogskins.com changed you?must be smarter.
must learn how to take critisms
must learn how to keep changing yourself
and adapt to demands
and of course you get to MAKE FRIENDS
Any Blogskinning tips?don't be afraid to try new stuff.
and always have a STYLE.
cause people will know you for your STYLE.
like heroine. you see the skin, and you immediately know it's her work.
it's a STYLE.
You were the previous FC. How did it feel?felt great.
and that's why i left
and i can tell you why most skinners left after becoming FC
ooh. SPILL.it's like you've worked your way to the top, and there's nothing more you can achieve. like becoming an olympic champion, nothing else bigger for you to win. so you just wanna quit because your career basically ends here. you've made your spark, now it's another person's turn to shine.
So you've had your fair share of the spotlight.yeah
So does that mean LIONHEART's not coming back anymore?well, not anytime soon. sometimes i really feel like submitting, but i just dun feel like it? HAHA. maybe one day you may not know it, i may just come back.
We'll all be looking forward to that:)
Oh yes, we have not heard much news on j3tflame. how is he?oh he died.
no lah, he's busy with work as well.
he's in ACJC with me too
So how's your current social status? [randomly generated question]relationship: i'm attached! to my lovely girlfriend... YY :D

friends: i've got a great bunch of friends in JC
my old SJI peeps
my zaobao friends
church friends
having fun all around.
ok i guess we're about done. any last words?Blogskins really needs to be improved. the format is so messy. i prefer the old format. TOO MUCH ADS. SO MUCH EXTRA THINGS FLYING AROUND. template is totally gross. plus the forum thing. why must the latest reply go on top? all the old threads are going right up. and SOTD quality is seriously not as good as last time. wow, i'm so critical. Myles seriously needs to do something to the site. cause it seriously sucks now.
* * *
okay that's my interview with LIONHEART.
haha he's leaving us. but perhaps, just perhaps, he'll be back.
