: Q: What do you think about the Internet? What’s good about it, and what’s bad?
:
i think its a double-edged sword. i believe it is relatively chaotic and huge. it really depends on the site. however i rlly dislike ai artwork and bot-fillted sites. also i believe ai chatbots should be heavily restricted or banned.

however, i believe there is great stuff, like newgrounds and sheezyart’s new revival. i love the artwork i see, and how lonely and repressed individuals like me can find solace.

: Q: What classifies something as obscure, and what are some obscure media you like, and why?
:
what is classified as obscure tends to be stuff that tends to be overlooked by the mainstream, or even could be partially lost. like if an artist that had a one-hit wonder, their other songs tend to be overlooked, but i find the overlooked ones better.

i am a major fan of the rock band slut, a rlly good emo band from the 2000s. i cant rlly find any traction on them anymore, but after a friend introduced me to them, i fell in love.

i’m also a major fan of the cartoon “station x”, a semi-lost canadian cartoon from 2005 that basically was about a bunch of dudes trying to help each other in life and explore serious topics.
: Q: What interests you about lost media?
:
i find the lost and obscure intriguing due to the rarity and strangeness. lost media is like a box of chocolates to me.

: Q: Why do you like creepy aesthetics? And what even is an aesthetic? What is cybercore?
:
cybercore is a term used to refer to the rave poster/music video look of the y2k era. here are some examples i have.

(O_O)
in this context, an aesthetic is a term used to refer to like a creative theme that someone likes. i dont know how to define it well. here is a site with better explaining

https://aesthetics.fandom.com/wiki/Aesthetics_101

i am a major fan of creepy aesthetics because i find the creepy artwork and media comforting. i love horror, occult themes, eerie creatures, and analog horror. also creepy stuff helps me vent out my pent-up rage and sadness.

: Q: How did you get interested in creating art?
:
i always loved making artwork as a kid. however, i have only rlly started to take art seriously since 2020.

: Q: How did you discover your style?
:
i was inspired by panty and stocking, also demiseman’s artwork. i want to combine the emo aesthetics with the cute/zim-like style of panty and stocking.

: Q: What do you like about art?
:
the variety of styles and the evolution of aesthetics. i also rlly wish the minimalist and dystopic white/gray/beige stuff would fade. i dont think it was because of a lack of optimism which led to it, because many pessimistic eras had beautiful art.

i believe it is a mix of trying to be quick enough for commercially producing the art and also to dickride trends. thankfully, at least where i am, the more creative aesthetics are returning.

: Q: Do you have any advice for drawing?
:
use references to hellp you, and i suggest using multiple references for a better concept. however, dont try to imitate the reference, imitate what you desire to gain from it.

for outfit design, look up inspiration on pinterest, newgrounds, tiktok, or something else.

: Q: How did you find Newgrounds, and what do you think of it as a platform?
