@KornArt3 - @Aalasteir (Q) - Index

Q: What is the origin of KornArt3?

Originally my name was Mutation Korno and then at some point during 2021 I believe i wanted to make a new account and kind start brand new (one of the best moves i've done) and changed my name to just KornArt, it was gonna be KornoArt but KornArt rolls of the tongue better!! and 3 comes from my twitter @ ahaha

Q: How and why did you get interested in NG, and why did you create an account? What do you think about the platform?

I believe it was during a time a lot of artists I know from twitter were moving to different sites, and I decided to follow suite and newgrounds was one of them! The platform really is the best for artists, everyone here and their works are celebrated and all that it's really refreshing to look at! Granted I still don't know how to fully use this site but based on my experience i genuinely enjoy it here !

Q: How did you get interested in Sonic?

I can't remember aaaaah, but it was at such a young age I believe it was me seeing Sonic X on television that got me into Sonic and then my first game being Sonic Unleashed for the PS2, ever since that i would watch Sonic AMVS on youtube and learn stuff about the series from there ahaha

Q: When and how did you get interested in creating art, and how would you describe your process for learning how to create art?

I got interested in making art since i was a kid ahaha was passionate about it ever since but didn't make the move to digital until around 2016-2017 and then in 2020 was when I starting taking it a bit more seriously (in a passionate way if that makes sense) and now here I amm!

As for my process, really watching other artists and learning from them really helps along with keeping an open mind with experimenting stuff- you can't really improve if you stay in your comfort zone for too long

Q: What resources for learning and creating art would you recommend?

Aaaaah good question, for me personally I conditioned my timeline on my social media to where I get artworks/edits a lot and I would bookmark them and use it as reference whenever I work, I highly recommend it!! As for resources I think it's somewhat common knowledge BUT just incase you don't know, there's this site called quickposes where you can take part in quick challenges to draw gestures in a short time, that REALLY helps

Q: What are some common mistakes that artists make when learning about art, and what misconceptions about creating art / being an artist would you point out?

This doesn't go for everyone but I think some people care a lot about likes/numbers and all that but genuinely your relationship with art grows better when you start trying to have fun with creating stuff, if you don't feel passionate about it it's best to maybe take a break until you get a wave of inspiration

Q: What do you enjoy learning about Earth, its history, and its creatures?

Seeing how different or even violent this place used to be hahaha, like millions of years ago you had all these creatures that are extinct now that are just at each others throats at all times or the previous versions of different humans idk it's interesting to me

Q: When did you figure out you could make a snake face with your hands in less than a second?

A classmate taught me that in my younger days ahaha and ever since that I can just do it instantly, its muscle memory LOL

- Moral of the story

I don't know what made me tweet it but i remember one day during may i was like "Sega if u need sonic x shadow generations promo art hmu i gotchu" and then a month later i get a dm from one of the social media mangers of the sonic account to do a promo art for the newest game of my favourite character (Sonic x Shadow Generations) LMAO, moral of the story- make your goals clear to the world !

Q: Super awesome! What advice would you give to artists using social media?

Try not to focus on numbers too much! And importantly try to interact with the community when possible!

Q: Food and drinks that you like?

mmmm I really like chicken biriyani and mango juice!

Q: What are your experiences with going to the gym, and how would you describe your progress and the way it has boosted your mood?

It's been pretty nice! It's pretty slow but It is gradually, I'm starting to see my arms getting a bit bigger aha, after a nice gym workout it just makes you feel pretty active and good about yourself!

Q: Games and other media you enjoy, and why?

Outside of Sonic, I actually really love playing fortnite and tekken, and have also been playing marvel rivals a lot recently !! and also I love to indulge myself in Zelda as well, it has such interesting lore to me to learn/theorize about...

as for other media, I would be a fool to not mention some of my favourite animes like Dragon Ball, Jojo and Jujutsu Kaisen, All these animes had an influence with my artstyle ahaha and have such sick and iconic action scenes !
