Today, I am featuring the art of Julia Ren, but she is more widely known as ERA-7. She is a professional artist who is very succesful. You can visit her website here. Now, I had an amazing interview with Julia, which is posted below.
Enjoy!
What can you tell me about yourself?
I’m professional certificated digital artist who works for games and movies. Mostly as concept artist and illustrator for different projects. Right now I live in Europe, have my own little studios and acts as an investor in my own projects.
What is your outlook about art in general?
It's hard to say. Art from any side can be magnificent even if we something can't understand. But if you ask me what I prefer more then I say - realism. I think it's one of the awesome styles in art that helps you to show your characters or worlds very real.
What was your last project, and what was its outcome?
My last project was a sci-fi game with different, original creatures. It's pity but I can't tell you the game's name or show you works from it. I just don't have rights on it. The project belongs to one of my clients. Right now I'm working for The Spiritus universe which will include motion books, games, movies and serials. It's very large project and I think that will working for it as minimum the next several years. Maybe longer. Of course I have other commercial projects but they are not so big like The Spiritus.
How would you describe your art?
A mixture of realism and semi-realism I think.
What is your greatest achievement?
Well, in December of previous year I founded my first own studio so I think it's one of the biggest achievements. The second one is that I work for The Spiritus of course.
Who is your favorite artist?
I have a lot of favorite artists. In the past Josh Nizzi inspired me to draw transformers. Right now I'm working with Anry Nemo - the legendary artist from game industry.
What is your favorite thing to do in your free time?
I like to sleep. But if seriously I usually try to improve my skills to another level. It's useful and fun.
What are some of your lifelong dreams?
I want to see The Spiritus on the big screen.
Have you accomplished any of your dreams? If so, what were they?
In 2007 year my dream was to become a digital artist and make realistic transformers. Right now I can do it and can make much more.
What are 5 words that describe you best?
Patient, loyal, cheerful, leader, prudent.
Who has impacted you the most in your life and how?
RealTime School and their instructors. I was studied from the best artists and thank them for everything.
Do you have any regrets?
If I could started to learn CG when I was younger...
Who are your hero's?
All people who helps and teaching me something new.
What would you do if you won the lottery?
Will build a non-standard temple.
