You know I’ve only ever drawn her once cause I could never be happy with how I drew her.
But I think I like this one? : 3

Oh my god, Sandy is perfect. I love her and will protect her at all costs (in spite of the fact she can clearly defend herself).
nonsense!
SHE’LL protect YOU

video games are really weird because something like Dusk or Project Warlock or Call of Cthlulhu won’t have much fanart even though a good number of people play them but like various visual novels will have a bunch even if they have the same or less amount of people who played them and it’s weird because when you think about it some games are like chess where you love playing it but you don’t make fanart of it while some games are like a movie or tv show where you can draw the heck out of something i guess
I've got a couple of questions for ya, to get a dialogue going (feel free to answer as briefly or as in-depth as you'd like!): What is your personal favourite sound chip, and why? // What are your favourite video game scores, and why? // Who are your favourite game composers, and why? (there's a few more I can think of, but I'll save those for another ask).
Favourite sound chipI’m really partial to the Yamaha YM2610 used in the Neo Geo - advanced enough to have good PCM support, old enough to have lots of good FM usage too. I’ve got a lot of respect for the way musicians used the sample-based sound chips of consoles like the Saturn and PlayStation, but when used super well they may as well just be playing CD audio - and that’s not quite retro enough for my tastes.
Shouts also to the Texas Instruments SN76489 and the MOS Technology SID.
Favourite video game scores3,333,360 - perfect score in Pac-Man.
Oh.
Man, there’s a long list here. Let’s have a think. Lots of my choices are super obvious. Sonic games go here - I’d be here all day if I listed them all. No matter what’s going on in the rest of the game, the music is usually good. Likewise, lots of SNK fighting games. I’ll single out The King Of Fighters 98 and The Last Blade 2 as highlights. Obviously OutRun, obviously the Streets Of Rage games, obviously Danganronpa and Thunder Force III and Ridge Racer and Daytona and F-Zero. Maybe I should talk about the less obvious ones?
I really like the soundtrack to Midnight Resistance, particularly the Mega Drive version. It’s a perfect run-and-gun soundtrack (up there with the likes of Mercs and Metal Slug in my estimation), expertly converted.
The Bitmap Brothers games often had some good sound work. The Chaos Engine has a pretty great soundtrack and Speedball 2′s intro theme is a classic (I found a belter of a remix tonight, too).
Headhunter’s soundtrack goes for a super over the top Hollywood action feel, bringing in the London Session Orchestra, and nails it. Jack’s Theme is obviously a highlight, but my personal favourite track is the first boss theme, Greywolf. You’d never guess that it was a first boss theme, it sounds like the climax of the whole game! But it really puts over the importance of the encounter, and I like that.
There are so many great PlayStation games that some really great soundtracks get overlooked. Tobal No.1 is a good example (Disused Mine is a banger), as is Jumping Flash! (seriously, who does bagpipes well in video game music?). Incredible Crisis’ soundtrack is great too, done by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.
Detonator has a really chilled soundtrack that occasionally veers into sombre territory. I like it.
Favourite video game composersI’ll probably forget some here, and this post is already a long’un so let’s limit it to ten.
Yuzo Koshiro: The first video game composer I knew by name, and for good reason. Ys, Streets Of Rage, Actraiser, and he just keeps going and never lapses in quality.
Richard Jacques: For some people, this man will always be associated with Sonic R - and I like that soundtrack so that’s fine, but stuff like Headhunter and his OutRun remixes proves there’s more than just the cheesy pop going on.
Matt Furniss: Again, great work overlooked because of one thing. Like, check out Lemmings on the Master System - it’s not an easy piece of kit and he made the damned thing sing.
Takenobu Mitsuyoshi: One more time - most people know him as the Daytona vocals guy, and that’s fine but his other work is awesome. Ride The Tiger is the best Virtua Fighter track ever and the Shenmue theme proves his talent with diverse styles.
Masafumi Takada: It takes some talent to take a lovely sunny beach setting and turn it into something deeply unsettling through music alone, yet this guy does that in Flower, Sun, And Rain as well as Danganronpa 2.
Jun Senoue: He gets a lot of shit from certain parts of the Sonic fanbase and I don’t think that’s really fair - he’s contributed a lot in this series and others. I might just be biased because whenever I’ve interviewed him, he’s been super cool (it’s not often the interviewee asks questions back).
Hitoshi Sakimoto: Apart from being a wizard with the Mega Drive, this guy is behind the Valkyria Chronicles soundtracks, which I love. Another guy with real longevity in the business.
Hiroshi Kawaguchi: Look at what he’s worked on and, just, yeah.
Michiru Yamane: Because I don’t religiously play the Castlevania games, I don’t have a complete picture of her work, but everything she works on tends to have excellent music - most recently Monster Boy And The Cursed Kingdom.
Tim Wright: I could talk about his whole career, and it is impressive, but mostly I really really liked the Wipeout games. Their soundtracks are remembered primarily for the licensed music, but his contributions were just as important.
Damn, I can't believe Akira can't even post the lyrics to all his favourite Weezer and Bring Me the Horizon lyrics to twitter because he can't read or write. RIP Akira 😔 🙏
LEAKED SCENE FROM THE UPCOMING VERSION 2:
Here, I've got somethin' scary for ya to spark up the spooky mood; Capitalism.
Capitalism isn’t Halloweenish, Decon. Halloweenish is fun scary. Capitalism is just scary on a societal and existential level. You can’t dress up as Capitalism for Halloween unless it’s for a bit on a comedy show.
