An Interview with Andorah - Overwatch Love
By Kasaix • 5 years ago


Kasaix: Hello friends and foes of Doujins! I’m here with another really talented artist, someone with a real love of Overwatch. I randomly came across her comic on Tapas called OW ships series that showcase a number of popular Overwatch pairings like Genji x Mercy and Tracer x Widowmaker, all well worth a read. So go read it and come back to the article.


Back yet? Good. Thanks for taking the time to chat Andorah. How’s it going?



Andorah: Good, thank you so much for this interview.. I didn't expect this <3



Kasaix: It's my pleasure. I'm glad I reached out ^_^

Let's start at the beginning then. On your Patreon, you said you started drawing back in elementary school. I'm glad to see people keeping up with their hobbies years after the fact. What first got you into art?



Andorah: Interesting question, Well all begin in a Geometry class... teacher show us how to draw with a grid .. I realized I wasn't too bad and I started to draw everytime I can... I had to wait my mom to finish her classes in her college, and I draw for hours waiting her






Kasaix: Interesting answer, a love of art coming from math.

Is Overwatch your favorite subject in art, or do you draw other things?



Andorah: Videogames in general it's my favourite... I love the characters from Overwatch in particular because I think they're so well designed, including their personalities, they're amazing!!... but of course I'd love to draw other franchises like Warcraft, League of legends, Dragon age/Mass Effect and of course it would be awesome to start to draw comics of my original characters



Kasaix: When Overwatch was first announced, I thought it would be a regular RPG game. FPS battle games tended to be more grounded. They went all out on their characters. At this point, you made the Overwatch characters your own. Your work with Pharah x Mercy was incredible.

I'd also love to see your work with original characters. Do you have any ideas drawn up?



Andorah: Thank you so much, about my original characters yes I have some ideas and I'm still designing them, I think  I can show something about them in 2019 Officially.. at this moment I have an original project in development called "Fantastic love stories"  more likely "Love stories" in fantasy worlds... of course it will have love, and spicy things, hehe



Kasaix: Nice. I look forward to seeing that. Your love and spicy things are always great.

What would you say is your best picture or comic? Something you'd readily show off to people to show them your style.



Andorah: uhmmm... I never thought about that... I mean.. If I have to talk about the art itself.. I feel I improve a little bit in every comic... but if we talk about plot... I think the Halloween Gency comic was the best I did... not the best art but I don't know... It's like... I enjoyed doing the story as never did before and it's the longest one.



Kasaix: You mean this one?



I like it quite a bit too. How did it come about? What was your process when planning and drawing it?



Andorah: Yes that one.... about my process: first, I think in a brief story idea and I post it to my patreon polls, 6 options for different ships, then when the poll ends I spend an entire day to plan all the story for the winner ship, then I sketch the comic in parts, and  finally I render it.



Kasaix: Oh yeah, Patreon supporters can vote on potential comics that come up. Ample incentive since the comics always turn out great. I especially love the Tracer x Widowmaker comic.

Do you have a dream project in mind you definitely want to work on sometime in the future?



Andorah: I have a lot of projects I want to do!! as animated series and graphic novel videogames... I want to add next year a goal in Patreon... if I reach it, I can start to animate all the comics I did!! including the Overwatch ones... but I need more patrons and money then I can hire more people... I'm a dreamer hehe



Kasaix: That sounds amazing! I hope you can hit that goal and animate your comics! We love dreamers here, and we'll be rooting for you!

I don't want to take up too much of your time here, so let's wrap this up. Do you have any final thoughts for your fans?



Andorah: That I love them so much.. thanks to them I can live from drawing, everytime they read and share my work it's like heaven to me... I'll spend the rest of my life thanking them with my drawings and all my love!!

Thank you so much for this interview, I really appreciate it <3



Kasaix: It's been my pleasure. I'm sure the fans are feeling the love too! ^_^
