@lowstation - @Aalasteir (Q) - Index

Q: What is your perspective on the value and role of reviews for creative works?

I imagine it's something surprisingly cool, as it's a way of sharing a story, and one of my stories might inspire someone else

Q: Your experiences with the Internet

my experiences were never that cool, I was pretty reclusive most of the time, I watched a lot of youtubers and a few channels that I really liked, like, the channels that did gameplay of undertale, FNAF, castlevania, because I REALLY found it very captivating

Q: The story of your username: lowstation

this is something interesting, because I needed a username that was simple and easy to remember, I really liked the idea of ‘station’ that the playstation had, but the rest I had no idea what to put, so a friend of mine told me to put ‘low’ before ‘station’ which, besides being interesting, was phonetically similar to ‘louis’, you know? ‘lows’, it's similar, since louis is my name, it fit like a glove

Q: Why do you appreciate the art of drawing, and where does this passion come from? How would you teach others to develop the same appreciation for drawing? Also, why do you enjoy drawing gestures?

I love drawing because it's a very expressive way of showing people what I want, until I realised that I could ANIMATE the things I wanted, and I was truly WONDERED!

Q: What do you like about independent games such as Undertale, Friday Night Funkin', and Five Nights at Freddy’s?

in the ‘passion’ of how these games are made with love and care, I've never liked triple AAA games so much, and each independent game had a different feel, such a great feeling

Q: What are your thoughts on animation, and what are some discussions you've had about it that resonate with you? What conclusions have you reached?

that in animation it depends a lot to judge, and that any kind of style in animation can be done, since speaking in a more crude and ignorant way, there are a lot of drawings clustered one after the other, so the only thing that limits a person is their own creativity

Q: Your profile picture is of your character, inspired by a cat you once had who sadly passed away. How has the experience of losing your cat affected you?

a lot, I was devastated, because I felt that even if the others didn't understand and all, I don't know, I felt that he at least tried to console me, or was one of the few who showed affection, you know? a child thing I imagine, I carry him with me even after that, because he really helped me

Q: What elements of Dragon Ball do you find most compelling, and would you say it inspired you to learn animation?

maybe the ‘animation’ factor itself, but I thought the effects were VERY cool, I thought the effects were very cool too, like the KI aura, the lightning and the colours themselves, it really was a great inspiration

Q: What are your goals, and what do you hope to achieve by being part of the Newgrounds community?

oh, notoriety, and also people for me to get to know too, I think this community is really cool, so why not join it? I imagine they can accept new people, right?

Q: How do you make an action in an animation interesting?

with the principles, in order to make an interesting movement, you first need to put yourself in the reader's shoes, and that's what we do with staging, staging is very important, and arcs help a lot too, well, I've listed the most important ones I imagine :)

Q: What are the differences between the types of animation you are interested in and those you are not? What common elements resonate with you, and which elements do not? Please explain why these specific elements are positive for you, and why the others are negative

look, I really like the kanada style, I love the styles of studio trigger, but my favourites are those of ghibli, studio ghibli knows very well how to captivate me, the ones that don't interest me so much are cheap animations made with rigs, most of which you can find on youtube itself, and that's just... makes me dislike them? I'm not sure, 

Q: Art and animation resources you would recommend

Proko's YouTube channel, Marco Brunet's channel too, Toniko Pantoha's, studios now, Studio Ghibli comes first for me (I'm sorry, I really love the animation from this studio :D ) wit studio , mappa (even with her problems, they can be very good), and no other studio comes to mind, sorry :(

Q: Life advice

some advice I could give is that perfectionism can kill your project or anyone else's, and that people should evolve as quickly as possible, yes, it's about evolving, but take it easy, get some rest, nowadays people are forgetting to take care of themselves, because art is about what the artist thinks, if you're not mentally well, that will reflect on your art
