  • CREATOR HIGHLIGHT: An Interview with Wishroomness

    Feb 12, 2019

Creator Highlights are featured posts where we interview comic artists and novelists within the Tapas community. Wishroomness is the artist of His Barcode Tattoo, a fan-favorite romance comic adaptation of the novel by Ivy Song and Tapas Original!






1. So, the first question we always love to ask is what inspired you to be an artist?

To be honest, it's because I'm not good with my studies and the only passion I have is for art. I'm lucky to have my mom support my artist goals lol or maybe she just has no expectations for my grades anymore *weep*. As soon as I knew that I could make a living as an artist, it helped me prove to my mom that being an artist won't starve us so she doesn't need to worry much.

2. When it comes to drawing, who were some of your biggest influences growing up?
 

Hmm, watching lots of Disney animations and reading manga from my cousin's bookshelf like Dragon Ball Z, Samurai X, and Ranma 1/2 - they all gave me lots of inspiration. It was like discovering a cave of jewels haha. After that, I bought my very first manga...Cardcaptor Sakura. This has opened my road to romance comics *proud* 


3. Your work on His Barcode Tattoo S1 has been a fan-favorite and we're really excited to see your return for S2. What were some of your favorite things to draw in S1 and is there anything exciting in S2 that you want to share with the fans?

Daww <3 My favorite part was drawing the scene from "Kissing in the Rain". I could play with the mood and expressions. I got a fluff feeling while reading the script (good job, Ivy! *thumbs up*). And for Season 2, get ready for the throbs! My heart was throbbing while drawing this season so I hope readers will experience the same. Is this considered a spoiler? Oops.





4. On the topic of His Barcode Tattoo, do you have a favorite character that you enjoy drawing?

Sehyun! I enjoy drawing his smug face, his sad face, his angry face, and more hehe.





5. Team Jaesun or Team Sehyun? Haha.

I'm team whenever I draw either one haha. Please don't make me pick, I love both ;v;





6. Do you have any favorite comic series that you're currently reading?

I do! In Tapas, I am currently reading Curious Case of the Ring Brothers - I love it <3 And as for manga, I haven't been reading any lately. Hoping for some recommendations xD

7. Anything you'd want to say to your fans?


Thank you for being very supportive and understanding <3 I never thought my art could reach this far. You have all been a big part of my art life and also I would like to take this opportunity to thank Tapas, too. Thank you for giving me this opportunity <3
