GR: Do you have a special chair for drawing? TW: No, it's only an ordinary chair that I have sat in all these years. GR: Do you listen to music when you draw? TW: I need to fully concentrate when I pick up my pencil, so I don't listen to music. However, once I start inking I will play some modern or classical music. GR: Do you use a computer in your art-making process? TW: I only use my computer when I start to do the coloring and special effects. It's also handy and efficient when to use for saving the background, costumes, and weapons for future reference. GR: A lot of your comics are now online. Is that the future of comics? TW: The Internet is just a media network. I believe that print is still the dominant media in comic books. GR: I heard Donnie Yen is directing a film version Gate of the Dragon and Tiger. Are you involved in movie adaptations of your work? TW: I'm actively involved in the production of those movies, but the role of the director has not yet been confirmed. GR: How do you feel about HK movie adaptations of comics like Storm Riders and Young & Dangerous? Are they good for the comics industry or do they mess it up? TW: I personally believe that comics being transformed into animation, a movie, or TV series is the best. There's still room to grow, though. I think they can do a better job. GR: I'm a big fan of the Deer and the Cauldron books by Louis Cha. What's it like adapting his novels? TW: I have no worries about the story line, so I only have to focus on the drawings. It is a very pleasant working experience. GR: Did you draw when you were away from comics in 1991? Did this break affect your style? TW: Yes. There's more emphasis on the story line. Each volume's story and structure are associated and there's a harmonic balance between the martial arts battle scenes and story. |
