Satish-G : Illustration

A little about yourself
I’m Satish G,  illustrator and concept artist. I’m specialized in illustration, concept art and graphic designer. My passion for illustration, comics, graphic novels and all kind of visual art shaped up my professional carrier.

Why are you an Illustrator?
“Life” is such a wonderful  thing.  Everything a creature does, is because it has this life factor dwelling in it.  And every form of life looks like a miracle to me.  The facial expressions, color, the postures , the shapes of each being is so special  and I have become addicted of playing around the above factors with my imaginations and pencil for my tools. That’s why I am an illustrator.

Did you attend school for fine art or design?
It was always clear to me that I was good as an artist. So I took up my specialization in Painting as a subject.  Fortunately I was also exposed to Designing in my various work experiences.

You have a distinct style of illustration. How long did it take you to develop your style?
I always stacked to what I like best. And the style which i have right now is not at all a deliberate attempt from within. When you move on with your thoughts and way of execution you are bound to fall in a unique pattern which has our character in it that we call as style. And when you realize it and you go beyond exploring it you are really enjoying the show.

Were there any particular role models for you when you grew up?
I wish I had?.!!!

Who was the most influential personality on your career in Illustrations?
Unfortunately I did not have a guiding star in my life.  But was fortunate enough to have been blessed with parents who tried to nurture my talents in whatever way they could. Illustrations in the children?s comics and magazines have been a great help.

Was there any time when you wanted to quit Illustrations?
Everybody goes through rough patches in their lives. There were times when I felt my desire of becoming an artist will take me nowhere. But I am glad I was wrong!

Are many advertising agencies getting illustrations made these days? Do you work more with agencies or with others? If others, whom?
Well, I am not aware if many agencies are getting illustrations made these days. I have worked with agencies on and off but never felt it was much of a lucrative business for me.  I am working towards having my own line of story books for children.  I also work for the online gaming companies.

Do you do most of your stuff by hand, or are they digital?
A combination of both brings out an interesting result.  When it is a real canvas, then  it’s just my hand which takes the credit!!

Any other Indian Illustrators who you admire?
I am an ardent fan of many Indian Painters. But have not found an illustration Guru for my idol.

Do you have any favorite fellow illustrators or resources relating to your fields?

There’s so much talent to explore on web and every artist I come across amuses me in a certain way.  Observing and learning has become my nature.

You have such a wide experience as an artist. What advice do you have for aspiring creative professionals? Would you advise them to take on Illustration as a career option?
I say that whatever you do, you shall do it for the love of doing it.  I am a believer of Karma and can only advice that one should do his karma with all his heart and not worry about the end result. Your efforts will work for you and there’s no ambiguity about it.

Mac or PC?

What’s on your iPod?
Soundgarden, Eels, kings of leon, Nickleback, Doors & ACDC.
