Effort was made

Passable lineartist, bad colorist, mostly fanart. Sometimes Tumblr likes to remove this link to my Twitter

So what was that news article about SEGA making their 'entire library' playable?

Cos I'm one bad decision away from buying a 32X just to play Knuckles Chaotix, and it would be really nice not to feel like I have to

I guess us 3DS kids have gotten old, but unfortunately not old enough for 'larping' to not to be in the discourse.

Look, if you think acting curmudgeonly about someone putting stickers on their 3DS is going to change the second hand games market, I dunno what to tell you. That's been unfixable since 2020

Starfox 64 being remade is the least surprising thing ever, actually

I was gonna pull the trigger and get all the Romancing SaGa games GOG added to their store, backlog be damned, but thought better of it, in part because of SaGa Frontier's hideous looking AI remaster

I really hope modders restore the OG graphics eventually, because it's obviously a visually striking game when it doesn't look like everything in it is made of scar tissue

favorite word?

Gormless is a pretty good one

Replaying Adventure, my beloved, and it's a kind of interesting that the water hurts you in the Chaos 4 boss fight if you sink into it for too long. It's like the entire lake has become an extension of Chaos' body and can harm you, which might be why it seems oddly viscous too.

It doesn't really align too much with how Chaos' lore was elaborated - his body described as being composed of concentrated energy, rather than water as such, and the later lore of his ancestral connection to the Ancients in Frontiers.

I've always been really obsessed with connecting all Sonic lore, early and recent, into something cohesive and internally consistent using headcanon. But the idea Chaos may have originally been intended to be composed of water has some cool possibilities for other directions his lore might have taken. Like what if he was some weird gestalt of water amoeba? Ancient microfauna released into an unprepared modern ecosystem. It might have carried Sonic's environmental theming forward, as a parallel for our real world ancient viruses, once safely encased in permafrost.

I like to think I might have chosen to adapt Chaos that way, if I was writing a Sonic comic adaptation in the late nineties. I think I'd have preferred that to whatever Archie or Fleetway were up to with Chaos at the time, anyway.

Sketched a Mado, thinking it would be quick and dirty, but lazily copying colors from the original sprite lowkey felt like unlocking something in my mind. My colours are not this good normally lol

Installed the Jak 3 PC port just to have it and I couldn't help but sink 40 minutes into it. I still need to beat Jak II, but it's sooo fun. Such a cool world

Trynna go for a very specific vibe here, primarily inspired by Archie Sonic (Super Special 15; the FCBD redraw of course).

I haven't ever gotten very far into Archie Sonic, but I dip into the art regularly, at it can be really evocative to me.

I had of this cover Ice Mountain Zone Act 1 playing in the background as I drew.

Oddly melancholic for Sonic, just like the story, where he pays respects to a strange Archie background character.

Thinking I'll do more with this.

Going back to tackle coloring these Cosmic Elder! Sonics.

I haven't posted here in a long ass time, but with how my ancient art *still* gets traction, I almost regret going inactive here (before I took a sabbatical from Social media wholesale. Don't regret *that;* less social media is never a bad idea.)(I feel like I've only recently come to properly appreciate how straight up malevolant SM is. Maybe that means I'm ready to return in some capacity)

Anyway, given that Xitter has since become an actual containment cell, I might use here instead to tweet out random (probably fandom) thoughts. It seems low stakes around here, which suits me. Or else I'll just reserve that for my neocities once that's properly running.
