</font>
<font color=#FFffff>
Note: Below is a new 1000th post format. The interview-format will allow us to learn more about the new members of the 1,000-posts club and we hope that you’ll find this new format beneficial and enjoyable.
<font color=#ffffff size=3> Interview With Muvlo</font>
<font color=#ffa000 > Tell us about yourself…</font>
<font color=#c0c0c0 > Where do you live?</font>
Arrakis... Oops, no, Earth, United States.
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What do you do for work?</font>
Still a student at this time!
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What do you do for fun? (besides ZBrushing ;))</font>
Other art, love to read, procrastinate on various projects, etc.
<font color=#c0c0c0 > How old do you tell people you are?</font>
"Seven and a half million years???" "I said it would take a little time."
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What would you like to say on this momentous occasion?</font>
I need only open ChapterHouse: Dune. "It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
<font color=#ffa000 > Tell us about your work with ZBrush… </font>
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What first attracted you to ZBrush?</font>
Seeing other people doing the fantastic work in it! I could never figure out how they did it, but eventually after reading a lot on ZAcademy it became clear...
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's your favorite ZBrush feature or tool? </font>
ZScripts!!!
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's your favorite thing about working with ZBrush?</font>
It is so smooth and easy to use and fun!
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What other software do you use, if any?</font>
Corel Photo-Paint, Terragen, Windows... ;)
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What other (non-digital) media do you work in, if any?</font>
Paint, Pencil, Pen, Clay
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's your favorite genre, theme, or style of artwork?</font>
Uh-oh, can't think of an answer to that one...
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What are your main sources of inspiration?</font>
Weather. Rainy weather especially. Gives me a good paint-a-Zee-Pic mood.
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What artists have influenced you? (ZBrush and/or non-ZBrush)</font>
I'm one of those people who looks at just about every picture I see and think "Wow that's neat!", so I could not list all the artists who've inspired me. :)
<font color=#c0c0c0 > When you create something in ZBrush, how much do you plan in advance, and how much do you let it take shape while you create?</font>
Most of the time I have only an idea as detailed as "Make a head model", or "Paint a ZScape".
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What are the most important elements in creating a really compelling image? </font>
To me, the lighting/colors can create strong moods in an image with even the simplest objects.
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What do you hope to convey most in your artwork? </font>
Mood. I want someone to see an image and think... "Ah, summer picnic", or "Life smells like a rotten egg", etc.
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What is/are your favorite tip(s) for ZBrush newbies? </font>
A) No you can't reselect it. ;)
B) Keep at it. In a week, or a month, you and ZBrush will be creating awesome stuff!
<font color=#ffa000 > Tell us about your favorite ZBrush creation… </font>
<font color=#c0c0c0> Favorite image? </font>Music (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=003383)
<font color=#c0c0c0 > Tell us about this image… </font> Though it is still unfinished, this project has been a great modeling + final render experience for me. I wanted individual parts to look good alone, and using a combination of materials, lighting, fog, and post-render color adjustments I think I achieved it. :)
<font color=#c0c0c0> Favorite ZScript? </font>MazeGame (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=003507)
<font color=#c0c0c0 > Tell us about this ZScript… </font> I just like this one because here I really began seeing, "Yes, ZScripts can potentially control the world!"
<font color=#ffa000 > Share with us a few more facts about yourself…</font>
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's your favorite band, singer, or style of music?</font>
MIDI music is the best!
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's your favorite TV show, movie, actor or director?</font>
Star Trek the Original Series and Next Generation. Also Dark Shadows (original, not miniseries) and MASH. And the X-Files.
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's your favorite book, magazine or author?</font>
Frank Herbert!
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's your favorite snack food?</font>
Food...?, oh yeah, that stuff. Multigrain Cheerios.
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's a good motto to live by?</font>
"Early to bed and Early to rise, makes a man stupid and blind in the eyes."
<font color=#c0c0c0 > What's your favorite thing about participating in ZBrushCentral?</font>
The members are all great!
<font color=#c0c0c0 > If the members of ZBrushCentral awarded you a trophy, it would probably Be for "Best / Most _______" </font>
Most like a blue-eyed bunny rabbit.
<font color=#ffa000 > Finally, write a question we haven't asked, and answer it.
The next 1,000th-message poster will be asked your question…</font>
<font color=#c0c0c0 > How many times have you drawn the ZBrush logo in a graphing calculator?</font>
Twice.
