Colors Gallery, meet Nye_Guy
@Nye_Guy is a cool guy who is known for their gallery being filled with vivid characters and being recognized by their easily recognizanle mascot, Nye! Let's find out why Nye is the coolest guy in this interview!
Who is Nye_Guy? What should we know about you?
"Yo what's good ya'll! I'm just a gray floating orb thing that loves to draw and create stuff [maybe a little too much haha]."
Your gallery is pretty diverse! At times it's hard to know what to expect from you! What would you say are your inspirations?
"Inspiration for me comes in all shapes and forms. sometimes just looking at a random object in my house or on the side of the road gives me drawing ideas, scrolling on pinterest also helps to get the inspo flowing most of the time!"
How did you discover Colors Live? What made you join the community? What makes Colors worth checking out in your opinion?
"A friend had it and let me mess around with it, and turned out I really enjoyed it! I actually didn't know there was a way to post your art on colors, I thought it was like ms paint for the switch until I saw there was a "post" butten and that's when I discovered a whole community of really cool people and art! The amazingly talented artists on here are why I love checking this place out!"
Do you use any other mediums or software? What role does Colors Live play? Are there any features you want to see?
"I had no digital art experience before colors, I was strictly a traditional artist who painted and sketched, now colors is the main thing I use to make art lol. I would love to see a chalk/crayon brush added, I love that traditional art look of drawings made with those type of brushes."
Favorite artist on and off Colors?
Favorites on colors, I'd say @KAWARIMI-BOMB, @Gorgonzola, @Acchan, @alrightymoose, @Atarute, @Smallpoly @PineappleChan_, and @The_Adjudicator
Favorites off colors are @corax, @neytirix, @Darian Quilloy, and @Worthikids on YouTube
Colors art you're most proud of?
Hmm.. that's a tough one. I'd probably have to go with Pearly White's, Nyezilla, and Cozy Dinosaur

How did you could up with your mascot Nye? The floating parts make me think of Rayman!
"I was really bored one day and decided to make a character that I could draw easily in my sketchbook! Oh man I completely forgot about the Rayman games, those where my childhood!"

Do you have any plans or ambitions for the future? What's your dream?
"I don't really have any big dreams at the moment, I'm more of a go with the flow kinda guy, although being a videogame developer or freelance artist would be cool!"
If you could have any super power what would it be?
"Definitely invisibility!"
What makes something iconic in your opinion?
"If it's widely recognizable and well established, I'd say it's an icon."
Any tips for young artists?
"Your art doesn't need to be clean and perfect, you can make it as messy as you want!"
Anyone you want to shout-out?
"Shout out to @HumanzHateMe and @The_Adjudicator for being cool dudes!"
