It’s FanArt Wednesday again! This week’s artist is Tatiana Spengler from Russia. You can connect with Tatiana on Tumblr, Twitter, and Deviantart.
Keep reading below for more about Tatiana.
When did you become an X-Phile?
I’ve been an X-Phile since 2000 or so.
What is the first episode you watched?
It was so long ago, but I suspect it was “Unruhe.” I started watching TXF regularly after that episode.
What is your favorite part of the revival?
Honestly, I don’t like the new series. Yes, I’m extremely happy to see Mulder and Scully again. But it’s still not THAT The X-Files I’ve been loving for years. I think the show should have stayed in the 90’s to keep its charm. But if you ask about my favorite episode, it’s for sure “Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster”. It’s very similar to “old” The X-Files.
What inspired you to create X-Files fanart?
My imagination. I don’t like to just copy common screenshots or posters. I prefer to draw something original, something that could happen, something that nobody knows but me. Of course I draw some episodes from the show as well, but my favorite theme is behind-the-scene moments.
Who is your favorite character?
Alex Krycek.
I’ve been asked “why?” a billion times before. So, I made a list of reasons.
- He reminds me of Film Noir anti-heroes. I even created a series of Krycek drawings in Noir style.
- He is mysterious.
- I don’t know his true intentions.
- Whose side he is on?
- He is cruel, but not completely evil.
- I love that his character is not static. I love to see how he changes from season to season.
- According to the above, I can imagine everything I want. And no one will say “This is impossible” or “This is out of character”.
- We are both Russian (I adore his American accent, but still can’t stop laughing, LOL).
- And yeah: he is so damned cute!
Hope that explains everything.
List your top 5 episodes.
All mythology episodes(really can’t choose one).
“Bad Blood”
“Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose”
“Field Trip”
“Soft Light”
Favorite X-Files quote.
Haha, well, when someone is trying to argue with me I usually say like Krycek in “Patient X”:
“Ты будешь со мной спорить?” (“Do you argue with me?”).
How has The X-Files impacted your life?
I never believed in evolution and creationism, I suspected there was something more. And The X-Files gave me the answer. Of course, I don’t blindly believe in TXF mythology. This is sci-fi, after all. But some things really became my faith.
Oh, and now I always have a flashlight in my bag! XD
Thanks, Tatiana! Stay tuned for a new FanWorks writer next week.
