The Dark Corner

Hello Newgrounders thedark here with a fresh interview.Today we have II2none's interview. An awesome artist and cool poster in the forums

Hello II2none introduce yourself to us

I'm sure this is redundant for most readers from the BBS but sup, Names II2none formerly known as "roderickii" I'm a laid-back guy who loves to game and check out the interesting content from various newgrounds users. I hope to one day get a job in the video game industry and make some of my own ideas come to life. Or a job that will allow me to continue enjoying playing Video Games.

Describe yourself in five words

Lazy, insightful, considerate, loyal, introvert.

When and why did you start drawing?

It all started with my favorite food Pizza in first grade we had contest on drawing/coloring the best looking Pizza and most of the time I was the winner. Of course as some of you would guess I would move on to drawing sonic fan comics. Ones that would get me in a heap of copyright infringement lawsuits from multiple animation companies if ever published, and others that made more sense and actually focus on the sonic universe, in either case not very original but of course that wasn't the point, it was straight up fun at the time. Nowadays I'm trying to develop my own original characters but my inspiration tank has a leak in it and it's difficult for me to get that spark to draw constantly.

What is the best thing about being an artist?

YOU, period. YOU have the tools, YOU have the skills, YOU can only make your vision become a reality AND exactly the way YOU want it. Not to mention the feeling of accomplishment when your work looks good.

After finishing a drawing have you ever felt like living inside it?

Oh hell yes, I've even pose out action pics that look epic to me from my own as well as other's works, sometimes without even realizing it.

Do have any favorite artist, movie or game maker in the Portal?

WAY too many to count but I would like to mention:

What do you do for a living? Are you happy with your work?

Right now I'm job hunting so I can manage college so far it's been one long drag. As for my work The ones I put effort into I always enjoy looking at.

What was the happiest moment in your life?

My first girlfriend. right up there with my last trip to Universal Studios in 2007.

How has your life been different than what you'd imagined?

Didn't think I'd be sending multiple applications and resumes across Atlanta only for them to be stuck in limbo from months to years.

Do you have any regrets?

Not being a better brother, and a damnable shyness throughout high school life.

If you ever leave Newgrounds how would you like to be remembered?

That guy that was chill and easy to get along with.

What is your greatest fear?

If my father or brother were to die from anything but natural causes and how I'd react/ change.

Have you ever felt like giving up Newgrounds?

No, I use to have a problem with lurking the bbs out of sheer boredom, then I got an Xbox. :)
What is your motto?

"Live and learn".... no,seriously.

Give new users here some advice

Optimistic Version: Be kind, open minded, and think before you post at all time. Don't make half assed reviews/ youtube "I'm clever" mentality BS and you should get along with the majority. AND DON'T FEED THE TROLLS.(Unless you feel like being entertained)
Realist version: Go ahead and act like a jackass cause as you grow you'll realize how foolish you were and change for the better anyway.

And here is a drawing from II2none called Shadow the Hedgehog
