scorpy Interview


What are your hobbies?
by profession i am a graphics artist, so design and drawing are not only my hobby but also i have to deal with them all day long.

apart from that i have interest in blogging, reading and lastly watching movies.
Who is your favorite actor?
hard to decide from the talented bunch - but right now i can't miss a single movie of gerard butler and clive owen.

last year i was a die hard fan of christian bell and among my all time favorite there is jason statham, bruce wills and jet li.

if you ask me about the actress - well i can die for amy adams and after watching 10,000 bc i am waiting to see camila belle in her next movie
What is your favorite movie?
i hope none can replace 'grave of the fireflies' - have you watched it? if not you should - this is the best anty-war movie that have ever made.

apart from that i like batman series - each one of it and every movie by gerard buttler, clive owen and jason statham.

i am also a great fan of manga, among the studio ghibli master pieces spirited away, only yesterday, princess mononoke are my altime favourite.

i always try to catchup movies from dreamworks, studio canal and revolution media.
What is your favorite cartoon?
hey hey hey - 'oggy and the cockroaches' series is just simply superb - specifically if you watch them dubbed in hindi. 'ed, edd and eddy' is the second best.

in my childhood i used to like 'he man', 'defenders of the earth', 'thundercats' etc, but i still remember about 'glow friends' - i could only see 3 or 4 episodes of it but i still miss my friends a lot.
Who is your favorite singer/band?
i don't have any likings towards a person, but from india, i respect only two music directors - 'iliya raja' and 'a.r. rahman'.

i specifically like songs or musics of chant, trance and electronica genre - my all time favorites are 'spirits of nature', 'secret garden', all masterpieces from 'kreftwerk' and 'enigma'.
What is your favorite song?
hmm... please goto previous question.
Do you have any pets?
wow - in my childhood i wished i had a monkey, but nobody (read - my parents) cared about that!
Love or Lust?
Love of my life - Arpita - my wife
Coffee or tea?
TEA - of course
What do you love most on PXLEyes?
the interview thing which i am struggling with right now (smile) nobody let you shout like this.
What do you hate most on PXLEyes?
hmmm... i think you should think over the ux, there are certain issues.

when i first landed on pxleyes i was just wondering whether this is a simple blog or not, may be some inspiration from eyeka, 99design or worth1000 could make this place more user-friendly.

secondly location of the sign-up/sign-in inputs - top right is best for them, and after login, the logout button should also follow them.

and the most frastrating issue is the tutorials menu, my laptop has a screen resolution of 1366x768 and i had to go full-screen to see the submit sub-section.
Did you make any new friends on PXLEyes?
of course, one of my old friends - nisha gandhi is here and he have introduced me to pxleyes, so i can't call her a new friend, she is the only person i know here at my first day on pxleyes.
What graphical programs do you use?
for raster graphics nothing can replace ps, i am using photoshop from version 6.

and for vector graphics my preference is good old freehand mx, you can see my vector gallery, almost each and every design is done using fhmx, apart from freehand sometimes i use illustrator, though i have better control over fh.

i am a great admirer of free and open-source tech and warez, sometimes i play with blender, inkscape and gimp, but as we don't have any scope to implement those softwares here, so i am preparing for the future.
When did you start with computer graphics?
well - almost 10 years earlier, you know i am a self-taught person, i just started to 'play' and ended up here.
