When did you find Newgrounds and why did you join? Why did you choose the username creepyboy?

creepyboy:

"I found about Newgrounds back in ’06 when I started to mess around with Flash, a friend of mine showed me the site and I got hooked with flash series like Tankman, Xombie, Hyperboy, Retarded Animal Babies, Blockhead and Salad Fingers and watched basically every animation on the front page; then a few months later I made an account and started to post my own stuff in the flash portal and then I started to join to art contests on the Art Forum and hanging around in General.

creepyboy is just a cool name I came out at the time, no story behind it."

Do you think that you changed over the time you were here, as user, or also in real life?

creepyboy:

"Sure I’ve changed, thanks to Newgrounds I’ve improved, slowly but steady, as an artist thanks to the advices I've got on the Art Forum and the users who have commented on my art over the years."

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

Are there any other users that you like, and how do they affect you?

creepyboy:

"I like a lot of users, in the Art Forum I like ReNaeNae, TurkeyOnAStick, BizarroJoe and Luwano just to name a few. They’re very talented artists and helpful users."

Are there any users that you would consider enemies or that you just don't like?

creepyboy:

"I haven’t made any enemies so far, and the only user I don’t like is ngman7, he used to ruin every single thread about comic book movies with his religious trolling, good thing he doesn’t post anymore."

What is your opinion about the forums? Is there one forum that you prefer? And is there another forum user that you want to see getting interviewed by me?

creepyboy:

"The forums are fun, I’ve been an active member in several forums around the web for years and I keep coming back here for the feel of a community Newgrounds has, not only the forums but the site overall.

I prefer the Art Forum because, like I said, the little but helpful community and the General forum is a cool place to procrastinate and discuss banal stuff.

I’d like to see ReNaeNae or TurkeyOnAStick get interviewed by you, if you haven’t already."

I guess that you have an opinion about the moderators of Newgrounds. Do you think that they do a great job or not?

creepyboy:

"The Art forum mods do a great job and are very helpful, I have no complains about them; The General forum mods and the Chat mods have a harder job, because those places are a mess (in a good way) and they try to do their best to enforce the rules."

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

Would you like to become a moderator on Newgrounds? If so, what kind of moderator?

creepyboy:

"Maybe an Art mod, but in the future when I feel more confident about my artistic and social skills."

You were a member before the redesign 2007. Tell me how you experienced Newgrounds back then and what changes you liked about the redesign.

creepyboy:

"I didn’t hang out on Newgrounds much before the 2007 redesign, but I found it an interesting site, especially the Flash Portal because I didn’t knew any site with such a feature. What I liked the most about the 2007 redesign were the userpages because social networks weren’t still a thing back then and I thought it was very cool how every user had its own little space to submit their stuff."

The last redesign happened 2012. Tell me what you think about it. What do you like and what is not so good?

creepyboy:

"I like the redesign overall, it’s a little more organized and the new options, like the social feed, are very useful and the new video player is a great option for people who wants to submit movies that aren’t 100% flash. The only bad thing is that it can be a little confusing for people who don’t spend that much time on the site."

You are an artist. When did you start drawing? Which Newgrounds artists inspire you? Since you like art collabs, what would be your dream team and what project would you produce together?

creepyboy:

"I know this is a cliché answer, but I started to draw since I had a pencil in my hand, but I started to take art as a semi-serious hobby when I was around 13-14 years old and it has been an almost constant hobby since then.

Newgrounds artists that inspire me? Hmmmm, that’s a tough one because there’s a LOT of talented artists in here, but if I had to make a top five I’d go with (in no particular order): JohnnyUtah, BizarroJoe, Aigis, ReNaeNae and Sabtastic.

I don’t really have a “dream team” but I’d love to produce something interactive like the Holiday Worm collab but with a different theme, maybe Halloween or something Newgrounds related."

Until 2011, you posted animations on Newgrounds. Is that something that you could see yourself getting back into or are you not interested in animating anymore?

creepyboy:

"Animation is such a time consuming activity and I don’t have the time and the energy to do it anymore. I’d like to animate again something for Pico Day but I don’t see myself doing it in the near future."

Judging from your art, you seem to be a big fan of the Marvel universe. Which heroes is/are your favourites? Are you looking forward to the upcoming Guardians Of The Galaxy movie?

creepyboy:

"My favorite Marvel heroes are Nightcrawler, Deadpool, Wolverine, X-23, Hulk and I used to like Spider-Man but the recent comic books, movies and animated shows ruined the character for me.

And of course I’m excited for the Guardians movie! I love that we live in a time where superhero movies are so well done and profitable that such obscure heroes as the Guardians are getting their own movie. I hope the movie is as fun and badass as the trailers show."

Breaking Bad is one of your favourite tv shows. Now that it ended, what did you like the most about this show? What were you favourite moments?

creepyboy:

"Another cliched answer, but I like EVERYTHING about Breaking Bad, the cinematography and production values, the amazing cast, the soundtrack and the setting are top notch, but it was the clever writing and the pacing of the show what hooked me in the first place; Breaking Bad is the perfect show to watch if you're looking for a compelling story and consistent quality.

Breaking Bad is filled with great moments, but if I have to chose my most favorite moments I'd go with (SPOILERS): The exploding tortoise, Hank's showdown with The Cousins, the “I am the danger” speech, Walt avenging Jesse with the explosive, the death of Gus and basically all the season 4 finale. I could keep going."

Kirby is your favourite video game character. Which Kirby games do you like the most?

creepyboy:

"Kirby is not my favorite video game character, maybe you got that impression because I've made some fan-art of him, he's a fun character to draw but that's it. And I know they're not technically “Kirby games” but I like the Super Smash Bros. games and he's one of my favorite characters to play with."

Asandir:

"I indeed got that impression from the awesome fanart that you posted in the thread Draw Your Favourit Game Character ^^ "

Every person has secrets. Can you tell one of yours or something else that we didn't know about you yet?

creepyboy:

"I have a lot of secrets, but I'll take them to the grave. But if I really have to tell you a secret: I'm very introverted and I have problems to make friends, both online and IRL."

What can we expect from you in the future, creepyboy?

creepyboy:

"I expect to make and submit more art, it won't be soon because my laptop broke and I don't have any art software to work with at the moment."
