@OnceHere - QA

Q: Why are you on the Internet, and how do you feel it has impacted your perception of the world?

I'm on the internet because I wanted to share my art. Being here also keeps me entertained. It is also the best way to learn new things since I will have no immediate way of finding out how many possibly habitable exoplanets exist in the Milky Way galaxy while having breakfast otherwise.

The internet, especially with the recent advancements in A.I., made me more appreciative of the real world's apparent authenticity.

Q: How did you get interested in creating art?

I'm interested in creating art ever since I was a kid. A mix of cartoons and colouring books did the trick.

Q: What does it mean to be an artist?

To be an artist, one must have a desire to express something in a creative way. The process and outcome doesn't really matter in a sense that almost every process and outcome are valid as long as the artist is actively trying to make something new to them.

Or someone or a bunch of people agree that whatever some other people are doing is art.

It's all dependent on both your and other people's understanding of what an art and artist is.

Q: What do you think about the Newgrounds community?

It's alright I guess. A community is a community.

Q: What could destroy Newgrounds?

An asteroid the size of Texas. A gamma ray burst from a nearby star system. Some unexplained cosmic phenomena. Girlfriend spilling too much liquor. Etc.

Q: Are reviews helpful?

Only if they offer help. A simple "good job" can still be helpful for someone who doubts their skills.

Q: What does it mean to be a Newgrounder?

If a person uses the site then they already are one I guess.
