  We were following the work of noah-kh for a moment without asking any question.
  We took all our courage and we’re definitively not disappointed...

(corrections made by eowen)

  “ imagination is the inspiration
iBAS : 01 / hi dear noah, how are you ?
||| Noah-kh : Haha well i can say fine. Just been really busy...

02 / a simple question to begin, WHO are you (what you're doing, where do you live, whatever you want, etc) ?
||| Currently an art director in a game company, staying in Beijing.

“i like how illustrations can express themselves”

03 / can you give me in some words reasons why you're making digital art ?
||| Well.. i like how illustrations can express themselves, of what the artist felt in a fleeting moment. Plus the common use of computer and internet nowadays, i decided to pick up digital art..

04 / does your mood works on the direction of your work ? generally happy or sad ?
||| Can't say happy or sad actually, but when i'm drawing, i forget everything and set myself really into the work and do it. And of course the moment a piece is completed, it's always one of the happiest moments. XD

05 / which three of your works are your favourites ?
||| Butterfly, sad summer vaccation. These two are currently the two pieces which quite represent me... third one? maybe one of my coming works lol ...

“just think and imagine”

06 / another top three but for other artists ?
||| Hmm... i'm looking at lots of artists and pictures, paintings, and i like many, and it's always changing...

07 / did you have influences and if so who or what can give you inspiration ? ?
||| I catch my inspirations sometimes just among the seconds of the day, just think and imagine... imagination is the inspiration ^^

08 / i saw that there are two characters on your website, you and zemotion, can you talk a little bit about this other person sharing the website ?
||| She's my muse. ^^ ;)


“i do plan to walk into other paths in the future”


09 / did you ever made an exposition of your work ? if so, what did you feel about that and do you have some pictures of this event to share ?
||| Maybe in the near future...


10 / i saw photographies on your website, is this another part of your artwork ? do you see some other roads for your work in the future (career, other arts, etc) ?
||| Photographs are mainly of zemotion's hobbies. But certainly i do plan to walk into other paths in the future, definitely photography and oil painting, and maybe comics...


11 / can you let us know about the process of your work and how many times does it take for you generally to make your wonderful works ? do you work on some sketches before or do you work directly on your software ?
||| Usually starts with pencil sketches and then scan into the computer. Though there're times where i just do a piece completely from scratch in the computer, like "butterfly".

12 / for your digital art, i saw that you use Painter, but do you use any other softwares for some effects (photoshop, illustrator ...) ?
||| I didn't quite like depending on a software to get a certain effect. Using painter is, in my opinion, to present the touch of hand painting, even in it i usually only use one type of brush and one layer for canvas. Though there are times i use photoshop to tweak the colors due to the color gamma difference in painter.
13 / you have many talent but do you think that it's a gift or the result of many hours of work ?
||| Haha.... yeah certainly i can start scribbling on the wall. But i believe any gifts or talents in the world has to work closely with the job and hardwork.

“a good faith and positivity”

14 / i saw you always on DA, but do you have any other favourite websites where you love to stay some hours in a day ?
||| Few. i don't even go online much these days because of the busy schedules...

15 / your favourite kind of music to listen working on your art ?
||| Usually the kind that touches my feelings but once i'm into the piece it'll feel like i can't hear the music anymore, though it can help me get into the mood for the work.

16 / time for you to have a question for yourself ...
||| Hmm... not much a question i guess. More of a personal feeling, i feel that no matter it's drawing or other things, having a good faith and positivity.

“there are many whom i'd love to work with”

17 / can you let us know about a typical day for you ?
||| Wake up at 10.. no breakfast. Work till 6, hang out with friends or do some misc things. Draw from 10 to 12.. Sleep.

18 / have you ever made a collaboration with another artist on digital art ? if no, will you plan it and with who would you like to do that ?
||| No one at the moment. there are many whom i'd love to work with.. gotta look at luck and chances i guess. haha.
