@TaintedLogic - @Aalasteir (Q) - Index

Q: How would you describe your personality?

Most of the time, I'm pretty introverted. I have a few close friends that I can really let loose with, but I don't like large social gatherings or meeting a bunch of new people at one time. I don't need a lot of external stimulation to entertain myself either.

I'm more of a thinker than a feeler. Which might seem weird given I'm a music enthusiast. But I have a pretty analytical and solutions-oriented mind. I kind of have to for my job (but more on that later).

My physical demeanor is usually pretty calm and reserved, although like anyone I have moments where I'm nervous, excited, or overwhelmed.

Q: What makes you happy?

Running the Newgrounds Underdogs' Audio Contest (NGUAC) makes me happy! This year, it starts on July 1st. Spread the word!

Q: When did you get interested in music?

In general? Probably elementary school. I had a teacher when I was maybe 6 or 7 years old who really made music fun. I've also played the cello since I was 9 and have performed in orchestras and choirs on and off since I was 11. Waterflame was a big inspiration of mine when I was first getting into making music electronically. FL Studio was my first DAW because that's what Waterflame uses.

Q: How did you become an Audio portal junkie? The story of your username: TaintedLogic

A friend of mine from middle school used to make flash games and post them on Newgrounds. So I've been using Newgrounds in some capacity since I was in 6th grade. At one point, maybe when I was 13 or so, I realized that the soundtracks from all my favorite games (Age of War, Stick War, etc.) originated from Newgrounds. I quickly got into Psybot, ParagonX9, Goukisan, F-777, EnV, and others after that. On weekend afternoons in middle school, I would just listen to song after song on Newgrounds while scrolling through the comments for an hour or more at a time.

Q: Your experiences with making reviews

Reviewing music on Newgrounds is always something I've liked to do, ever since I joined the site in 2012. It feels natural for me to process a song in writing as I'm hearing it. I've developed a bit of a rotation of musicians who I keep tabs on and give reviews to, but when the NGUAC, NGADM, and other contests/collabs/events are running, I usually discover a lot of new musicians too.

Q: What makes a valuable review from your perspective, and the key pointers that make a high quality review

In a word, constructive criticism. There's a huge difference between saying "the snare sounds bad" and "the snare would pop a bit more in the mix if you increased the threshold on the compressor." The latter is more constructive, but also more impersonal; you're giving the artist the power to decide "do I want the snare to pop in the mix? Maybe I do," and not just telling them what they "did wrong."

But ultimately, a valuable review is one that helps the musician get better. For that, you not only need to give good, constructive advice. You need them to take that advice.

There are a lot of people who won't take your advice because they get very defensive when they get harsh, detailed criticism. So it's usually just a better way to help them if you're gentle about it. So I try to both start and end my reviews by saying something positive about the piece, even if it's not that good. And I very rarely give a score below 2 stars. It can feel really overwhelming to people if you tell them ALL the aspects of their piece that you don't like, so sometimes I only focus on one or two big ones.

I could probably write a dissertation on this question, but I'll stop there. :)

Q: Your experiences with the BBS

I used to use it a lot more often, especially when the general forum was a thing. I've also posted a lot of poetry on BBS over the years, especially haikus, which are short, fun, and low-stakes. These days, I mostly use the BBS to run the NGUAC. So much of the community interaction among the Newgrounds community actually occurs on Discord now. It's crazy.

Q: What do you think about YouTube and SoundCloud, Chips Compo

I use YouTube almost every day (lot of great free long-form video essays, documentaries, cooking videos, low-brow comedy, etc.), and it can even be a good place to discover new music. SoundCloud is also a good place to discover new music, but it doesn't have nearly the sense of community that Newgrounds does. Chips Compo is a great, grassroots sort of site that also has a friendly and interactive community. A lot of the moderators there met each other via Newgrounds - @Johnfn, @OneFin, @LunacyEcho, etc. Unfortunately, I'm not super active on there anymore, but maybe that'll change soon.

Q: How do you feel about your education at Bates College?

I'm very grateful for it! Going to my 5th year reunion later this month, actually. I'm lucky I was able to graduate in 4 years, too. Especially since college has only gotten more expensive since then.

Q: What do you do as you occupation with Policy Research?

I'm a Housing Fellow at a public policy research institute. So basically, 80% of my job is researching housing market trends and evaluating the effectiveness of existing housing policies. And the remaining 20% is communicating the results of that research to the public. Occasionally, I'm also asked to contribute to research on other topics, too, like transportation and commercial real estate.

Q: What is it like living in Wellesley, Massachusetts, United States?

Haha. Well, I live with my parents, which is perfectly fine, and I'm lucky they have a spare bedroom for me. Eventually, I'd like to live somewhere a bit more...exciting, at least while I'm still young. But rent in Massachusetts is pretty insane. It's hard to find a decent apartment within a commuting distance of my job for less than $2,000/month. Good thing I'm a housing researcher. Maybe I can have a role in fixing this. :P

Q: Your advice for life

One piece of life advice I recently heard that resonates with me is this: if you feel like life is going by too fast, seeking out novel experiences is a good way to slow it down. Purposefully break your routines more often, and you'll both live life more fully and retain memories of your experiences better.

@sp-ec - @Aalasteir (Q) - Index

Q: How did you get interested in making art and how do you decide on your style?

:A: I've always drawn since I was a kid. It started with wanting to draw my interests at the time, such as cars, skateboarding, and dinosaurs! I'm very thankful to have been around people who always supported and encouraged me, so I kept drawing and haven't stopped since. My is something I've been developing over the past few years, and I am still trying to improve on it. It's a combination of the aesthetics my eye is drawn to, and the methods and techniques that I enjoy drawing in.

Q: The story of your username: sp-ce

:A: I originally wanted "spec" but that was taken! It's short for "specification," which in the car world, describes the specific details and performance of an automobile. Did I mention I like cars? haha

Q: How do you decide on making an account here?

:A: I used to play a lot of games on this site as a kid, and was introduced and eventually drawn to the style of art that I find very unique to this site. There really is something special about this community and the art that comes out of it.

Q: Where can people find your music? And how did you decide on creating music and what does music mean to you?

:A: That's a secret! Maybe one day I'll release a small beat-tape. I started making beats in middleschool and never really stopped. It served as an artistic outlet for myself when I wasn't drawing.

Q: What makes you happy?

:A: Making things! I love being able to express myself through my art. It's an endless journey, so I always feel deeply satisfied when I improve or learn something new that I can apply in my future drawings.

Outside of art, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, skateboarding, rollerblading, and working on my car!

Sorry for the long-winded answers and thanks for listening to me yap!

@ShockAbe - @Aalasteir (Q) - Index

Q: What does being part of the community mean it to you? How did you discover it? What do you think it represents?

A: Being part of this community means kinda a lot to me, as I feel that Newgrounds is one of the very few social medias to actually embrace its own community.

I already knew what this site was long ago, but Friday Night Funkin' was what made me decide to go ahead and create an account. I would later become attached to the BBS thanks to the game, Tankmas ADVENTure 2021 promoting the Coffee thread which is where you can find my very first posts there.

To me, this community (as well as Newgrounds in general) represents true passion and love for creating media. I just don't think I've seen any other community like this.

Q: How did you discover Lisa the Painful?

A: Videogamedunkey's video about it was my first exposure to the game and I also saw Nitro Rad's videos talking about the game and some of its fangames which got me hooked into LISA: The Painful.

Q: And who is Shocklord? And how did you choose him as your profile picture?

A: Shocklord, real name, Otto Shipman, is one of the many party members in the game. The way you recruit Shocklord is that you have to win the Tag Team Championship with him under the stable, "Arm-Shock" (a combination of the protagonist, Brad Armstrong and Shocklord's name). I always thought that it was rather unique that Shocklord gets to fight with you before he even gets to join your party. It made me feel attached to him a lot more than the other party members (besides Terry Hintz).

Q: How do you feel about creating art?

A: It makes me feel excited whenever I take a look at my art, especially the pieces that I've worked hard on. I do feel like my art has somewhat decreased in quality especially if you were to compare my older pieces, particularly, the ones I made for a school assignment, to my current artworks. Though that's probably just me going hard on myself. Since summer break has finally arrived, I definitely will be drawing a lot more as well as improving my art skills.

Q: Why did you make your Clock Alt @BradClock

A: I just simply thought it would have been fun to create a Clock Crew account. I initially was going to have my name be "RandoClock", based on Rando from LISA, and the idea was that I would make it seem like the Clock account and ShockAbe were not related to each other. Eventually I feel that I would reach a point where I would reveal that RandoClock was actually ShockAbe all along! It would have probably been an animation where RandoClock gets unmasked during a fight revealing the shocking superstar underneath, a bit like the fight against Rando in LISA. That was going to be the name, until I found out that @randoclock had already beaten me to that name.

I then decided to go with "BradClock", since it goes with the "Arm-Shock" theme, and because funnily enough it sounded similar to the Jamaican slang "bloodclaat" or "bomboclaat". I haven't really done anything with the account just yet, but I will make something on there, though it's probably just gonna be some low effort shitposts lol.

Q: What is the BBS about?

A: Oh come on, don't you already know that it's about dunking on @Wegra?

Okay, now my real answer for this question is that it's about just having fun and making friends. It's good that Newgrounds has a section decidacted to communicating with other users. I also perfer going on a forum since it doesn't make me feel overwhelmed unlike Twitter or Discord.

@TwoSipsofBleach - @Aalasteir (Q) - Index

Q: What are your experiences of using the Internet, how do you feel it has impacted your life?

Can´t say i hate it! It's my main source of living right now, been working freelance and commissions since i left university 6y ago

Q: How did you make a habit of creating art? Did drawing always come that naturally to you?

I used to draw plenty as a child, but i only started making sure i drew everyday right before turning 15, thats when i decided id try to pursue this as a carreer

Q: Why do you draw more female characters than you do male?

I do draw guys in my off time, just not specific characters. I am starting to take more interest in designing guys so i may make some pieces in the future, but for a long time i was more interested in pinups so thats the stuff i specialized in and what people expect from me at this point.

Q: How did you develop your style? And what is a style? And are people to focused on style?

Ok so an artstyle i would define as playing or altering the fundamentals of a piece to try to better express a feeling or aesthetic quality (lets say for example, the shapes you use to simplify hair/eyes the body, even using higher saturation than your reference picture is a stylistic choice.)

Everyone naturally develops a style through drawing a lot and paying attention to details in real life reference and how other artists tackle different subjects; so on that front you will inevitably have an artstyle BUT you can develop and change how you draw by being mindful of it, its a skill as any other and animators learn the style of a project or a studio every time they change jobs. As for me, right now im trying to be more mindful of the shapes i use to draw so they match more with how i paint.

I think focusing on fundamentals (controlling your lines, having good 3d form, understanding graphic design concepts like spacing or shape language, color theory, etc. ) gives you more leeway to play with stylization, bc you can control the inputs better than when you copy the way another artist does faces without understanding the logic that makes the style work, or if that face would clash with how you draw the body.

Q: What do you think of the NG platform?

Its great! i appreciate how long theyve managed to last throught the years. Love the recent QoL updates to the posting process.

Q: Your advice for artists

-Learn to be incredibly frugal so you can choose work with better hours, even if you pursue art as a job you will have to balance what gets you money with what interests you at that time. The less pressure you have on you to do a certain type of art the more free you will be to hone your craft and take your time with making stuff youre happy with

-Study anything that interests you, having a life outside of art feeds your mind and lets you come up with more stuff.

• have some physical activity, good sleep and good diet if you wanna last long

@ImPage - @Aalasteir (Q) - Index

Q: How would you describe your experiences with using the computer? And do you feel it has shaped your perspective on the world

I don't feel any special impression on using computer but I guess it's convenient on drawing perspective I guess..

Since my goofy character connected so many awesome people on internet, I felt like my hobby is more than what it is and grew more affection on what I'm doing with art. So that kinda blew me away of how some people appreciate my things more than imagined

Q: How did you get interested in creating art?

Nothing special. It was my hobby since I was a toddler. I just like drawing

Q: How did you decide on creating an account here?

I heard newground is very friendly to artists so I made an account

Q: Your advice for people starting on creating art

Please don't pressure yourself with getting ' special artstyle '. You will get it naturally after learning the basics which I'm learning as well.

Q: What have you learned about yourself creating art?

I learned that what they are trying to make you believe productive is often wrong( but you gotta listen always lol.. ). What I thought insignificant hobby actually showed me so many path as a hobby, work, connection with other people, and for that I discovered myself being much more confident than before.

Thanks for the opportunity for QnA! You can post this as well.

@TheShokBlok - @Aalasteir (Q) - Index

Q: Your opinion of the World Wide Web

Very fun, clearly I'm not the only one who thinks this

Q: How did you find the community, and why did you join?

Newgrounds? I used to watch a lot of animations on YT and then later found out they were from there, but I never gave the site a chance and forgot about it, some time later the funk of the Friday reached me and reminded me the existence of NG, and thus, an account eas created.

Q: Your experiences with creating art

it's been quite nice, I've always liked drawing as far back as I can remember, and seeing so much people enjoy what I do just motivates me to keep going. (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

Q: What do you like about posting into BBS?

interaction, I like likes and views and all of that, of course, but those can't compare with other people commenting whatever crossed their minds at the moment, I just think it's very fun.

that's why I enjoy doing me silly little posts with a dynamic every now and then.

Q: The story of your username: TheShokBlok

it originated from a bread-looking thingie, dunno if it was supposed to be a sandwich or what, point is, I found it in a supermarket and it was called "shock block"

it really had a ring to it, so I just adopted the name, later on I got rid of the "C"s at some point. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Q: Your advice on being a community member

hmmm idk, guess just don't be a dick and if you're gonna be one at least be fair.

thx for inviting me to t

his little interview! (⁠◍^ᴗ^◍⁠)

@Olexxie - @Aalasteir (Q) - Index

Q: Your experiences with the Internet

My biological parents where the type of people to just put an iPad in front of my face and let me go ham, I've had good genuine life-altering advice from people who are just strangers- but the internet can be a hit or miss a lot of the time.

Q: The story of your username: Olexxie

stupid story but I had an account for this online game called Roblox. called ¨amazingsmileysundae¨ this was in 3rd grade and my best friend at the time hacked the account, and me being oversensitive I cried and cried and was butt hurt over it. she felt bad for me and just gave me a new account with robux on it called ¨O_lexxie¨ but since newgrounds doesn't allow underscores it was forced to be ¨Olexxie¨

Q: How did you discover NG, and why did you join?

I found Newgrounds out from a youtuber who was playing ¨riddle school¨ and I was very young and knew that newgrounds wasn't a place for young children, so I stayed away..until 2021 in my 7th grade class this one kid showed me the tankman week cutscene for Friday night funkin, and I was hooked bro, and then someone online told me ¨you know those characters don't come from Friday night funkin right?¨ and I was confused and I learned about newgrounds again. I joined newgrounds in 2021 for Friday night funkin stuff and didn't think much of it until a year later in 2022, when I remembered Friday night funkin again and picos school andddd I got hyperfixated and posted my art on newgrounds and the rest is history!

Q: What do you think about Piconjo?

i didn't have a great experience in the whole piconjo universe, uhm probably because I was 14 at the time- I would've had a better experience if I was older for sure.

Q: What do you like to see in art?

I am a sucker for bright colored art and more sharper lines, making the characters seem more like a sharp shape in a way. its truly such a treat to the eye.

Q: What is your like about making art?

I truly enjoy the designing of OCs and just translating characters into my own personal style I've trained myself to do over the past 7 years of taking drawing seriously.

Q: What do you think about voice acting?

I LOVE VOICE ACTING. its truly my personal favorite thing to do on this website!! Being able to play a role as a character and I get so into voice acting that I start to just cry while recording lines lol. I've been doing a lot of impressions to my family as well as my girlfriend for practice and they get to hear my silly little stories I come up with while doing my voices!

Q: What does it mean to be happy?

Ive been struggling to find an answer to that question for so many years of my life and I have found an answer.

Being happy is genuinely doing something you love and are extremely passionate about, and having those people in your life to support you and your hobbies, and didn't care about what others thought about you since that negativity just weights you down, makes you feel worse about yourself. everyone is here for a reason, and a purpose. finding that purpose. is happiness!

Thank you so much for this again Mr aalasteir!!

@TigerPlushiefire - @Aalasteir (Q) - Index

Q: Your experiences of the Internet

My experiences of the Internet were watching Lego stop motion videos pizza delivery, played games on coolmathgames addicitinggames miniclip, never have an social media account during childhood at an young age, but didnt got traumatized by our internet overlords unlike the rest of name i wont be named because was an very healthy and active kid having fun with babysitters. Plus been on road trips so I am so happy to be free away from the horrors of the Internet. Internet-free/ no youtube account childhood!

Q: How did you discover Newgrounds, and why did you join?

I discovered Newgrounds with youtube channels or stumbled upon it during childhood like shall we say Hotdiggtydemon jerry series, mlp mov etc. I want to see whats going on the site, didnt even touch newgrounds gave some bad vibes with it being edgy and over the top action. I joined Newgrounds around the summer, didnt realize haven't made anything special here during my inactivity account Also I hate FNF, its not my cup of tea to play

Q: How did you get interested in creating art? How to decide on what to draw?

Since like drawing people with circles as hands putting in my own comics. I decide on what to draw was freetime after drinking choclate milk :)

Q: What do you think about collabs?

I think that collabs are cool and kinda terrible to have. I mean joined the previous Collab Called The Skibidi Toliet Collab which is still new comments everyday with being saying skibidi toliet bop yes. My most two recent Collab would be The Easter Egg Collab created By AnassAnimationPro and the Nintendo 64 collab part 3 by AlexToolStudio. Other Collabs no comment on the creators profile and amount of people saw drawing their own drawings

Q: What was your experience of creating your stop motion animation 3 Groups of Immune Survivors. And what do you like about Road of the Dead, and Fast And Furious Films?

My experince of creating the stop motion animation 3 Groups of Immune Survivors was thanks to one guy Tom Fulp.

Stop motion Studio helped me out with the taking pictures of toy cars even lego minifigures as 3 groups and 2 zombies. hint of bad cop too by the end. Road of The dead And Fast and Furious Films were ideas for the stop motion video, One it has John Creesman zombie hunting mechanic, the first fast and furious was underground illegial races.

Q: What have you learned about yourself creating art?

I learned about myself creating art was drawing on the walls at our house, even painting on the painting white paper board just paint lines right and left during preschool year of 2006. I just have an natural talent of drawing since long time. i did get in trouble for doodling at my notebook during school. I love to create art is my own way to cope with my diffcult family life plus a mentally sick dad.

Q: The story of your name: TigerPlushieFire

Came up with the name TIgerPlushieFire. When i first joined Newsgrounds. TigerPlushieFire with scrapped usernames which are edgy to mind, tigerplushiefire was my best choice to stand out on Newsgrounds. Tiger as a plushie which has been recently on fire makes it alive and whole badass

Q: The story of your sonichu oc, why is he ready to be killed?

Hes ready to be killed to being similar to chris' chans sons Sonichu the hybrid Of Sonic and PIkachu at the first issue of his infamous comic book. AnassAnamtion the first person to suggest the idea to me. What do you think about alexhu ready to be killed? People are wondering about why i made my sonichu oc.

Q: What do you think about chris chan?

Chris Chan is gross. But he made his own comic.

He has big collection of sonic video games and sonichu medalion is unhealty cramped up.

heard about a drama of him and his mom, then he got by the virigina cops and then sent him to prison. but didnt pay much attention

@xanxoepico - @Aalasteir (Q) - Index

Q: How would you describe your perspective on the Internet?

Well, I think the internet is a pretty amazing tool for pretty much anything, even in this age of misinformation and rage, you can still get a lot of entertainment and learning from it, I personally use it more for the former :)))

Q: What does it mean to be online? Can it sometimes be bad? And why?

I suppose you could say "being online" means to pay a good amount of attention to what happens in your space, or other people's spaces of internet interaction. By that definition, it isn't inherently bad, but spending way too much time fixated on the stuff that goes on can definitely be pretty bad, especially if it's a negative space!

Q: The story behind your name: xanxoepico

Old nickname I got from my friends, I used to be called "Chancho" ("pig" in my dialect of spanish) when I was younger, me and friends had a bunch of dumb nicknames for each other, and that was mine, so I ran along with it for years, and when it came to choosing a name for my newgrounds account, I chose this one (after a pretty shitty alias before...) which combines an odd spelling of the word (xanxo) with the spanish word for epic (épico). And that's the separation! XANXO-EPICO, LIKE CHANCHO-ÉPICO, EPIC-PIG BABYYY!!!

Q: What is NG, how did you find it? And why did you join?

Newgrounds.com is a cool ass website where you can find all sorts of content, be it moving or still pictures, games, music, and more! I initially joined under a different alias back in 2018, trying to do that stupid thing of uploading a song from youtube to use it on GD (don't do that kids! It's against the rules of the site!!). Then, in late 2022, I made this account (initially called monoconchetumare) to follow some people whose content I liked, and around the same time I got a taste for music production, and found newgrounds to be the best place to start as it offered a quick method of upload, and reviews too!

Q: How did you get interested in creating music?

Friday Night Funkin', more specifically, I used to be part of the "cover" community from september 2021 to around june or october 2022, a cover was essentially replacing the vocal track of a song with the voice of another base game or mod character, a pretty simple, yet at the time engaging concept! I got a decent amount of attention with my shitty covers, but then I came to the realization that, if I had this cool FL Studio 20 DAW, I could do much more than just use it for these little covers! So for my first serious composition, I took a look at the FLP of "Voltage", a song made by Matt$ (mattmoney on NG) for his FNF mod Vs. Cyrix, and made a fansong for the character, taking a bunch of elements from his own song "Voltage" (I'm talking the entire break and key of the song LMAO...), I later remade it and uploaded to NG as "Allocated Memories", the old version is on a twitter link I left there! There's also my friend sparkymessi, who if I remember correctly was learning to compose at around the same time and encouraged me to learn and keep going with music, so you could say those 2 were my kickstarters to music production!

Q: Your advice for making music

Listen to a lot of music, pay attention to the small details and subtleties, and try to learn WHY do things in songs sound the way they do, how they are made, etc. The more you familiarize yourself with a genre, the easier it will be to make your own songs off it.

Q: What was it like to organise your Break It Up Collab

BREAK. IT. UP! It personally wasn't such a hard task, because I was pretty lax with the requisites and amounts of songs I wanted, I wasn't looking for a specific quantity so, even if I had a small number of submissions, I would've been happy with them. Imagine my surprise when I ended up with 18 TRACKS SUBMITTED, I was thrilled! Admittedly, the last few days of the collab's organization were a bit more crazy, because I got a lot of submissions a few days before and during the deadline, someone even got in late!! So I had to edit the files, timestamps and stuff last minute, before I could finally upload, and watch with a dumb smile on my face as the months of waiting had finally come to an end...

Q: What is a collab?

Collab stands for collaboration, where many people work together to make a compilation of media related to a certain topic or theme, I mostly participate in audio collabs, which generally are put together like an album of sorts for the uploaded file, but there are collabs for every part of newgrounds' content!

Q: What are reviews? And what function do they serve?

A review is a commentary of your thoughts and opinions on something, they serve to provide criticism, praise, or often random comments to the author. We also got blamming in here, for those who make really, really bad stuff!!

Q: Your advice for life

I don't have enough experience to give very wise advice, but perhaps I could say, to cherish moments of comfort, and search for instances and ways to make them more frequent? at least that's what I try to put effort for in my life, sort of.

Thanks for interviewing me man!
