Happy birthday to you as well, Seviper.

Happy birthday, Skye!

F1 2013, practicing hard to play the upcoming F1 2015. I'm also finishing Freedom Planet. Will play that and Solatorobo again.

I don't know why, but I kinda feel this one has the worse graphic than the first game. Nevertheless, I hope it has more than three levels and two bosses. A free story mode wouldn't hurt either.     For once I thought FFaF's invaded my game. What a horrible experience.

PS4, I am aiming for Dragon Quest Heroes and the future Jikkyō Powerful Pro titles. Japanese-only games seems not very common within Microsoft's consoles, so I have never bothered with XBox. I never like playing Western RPG and realistic FPS anyway.

The new Kunio-kun Downtown Nekketsu games on PS3 and 3DS could do 8-bit spritejob with HD backdrops without a problem. Not to mention other classic 2D games like Metal Slug, where 3D and non-recycling sprites are bombs.   I don't see what's wrong with adapting Megaman into HD, even if it'll be half a quality of 'Megaman Powered-Up'. Not doing so can even count as being lazy, since even the less well-known company like Technos know what the fans want and what makes their works so classic and survivable for over 30 years..

I wished it to have something along the line of Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam. It would have been interesting to see how such style can be integrated into live-action films with today's technology.

Good, There's another reason to finally get 3DS on my next birthday.

  One reason I refuse to draw anthropomorphic characters with human's scale. She looks jarring as heck.   If I were Penders, I would have abandoned Lara and created new settings and characters altogether, especially if I'm serious about selling new works. Doing so would avoid copyright and provide an opportunity to expand the story and characters at the same time. There are whole lot different ways to twist the plot and keeps it from being called a ripoff, after all.

I like Amy's depiction of her crush in the comic series, much less jarring and more understandable, especially since they're all friends in an important mission. Speaking of which, Genesis Wave probably drops SonAlly for good. Not that I mind.

Sticks the Badger is clearly designed based on Marine the Raccoon, having the simillar colors, simillar personalities, similar roles, but being placed in different settings as different characters. Stick's appearance is likely to be built as an attempt to create different a slightly character, either to pay a homage toward the preceding character, to either avoid copyright, or to avoid ruining the original character.   You see these types of similarity all the time in anime and cartoon: like Kenshiro & Jonathan Joestar (similar builds and shirts), Homer & Peter (Similarly loser fathers), two different Rainbow Dash (same namesake) and countless mask-wearing Char Aznable look-alike and many Shana & Loiuse archetype of the loli-teenger heroines with furious tempers. Sometimes, the similarities are being generated from two or more different characters. According to Sonic News Network, Stick seems to be a fusion dance between Marine and the boomerang-using treasure huntress named Aika from Skies of Arcadia.   TV Trope lists such similar characters as 'Expy' (exported character).

@Mikey, You shouldn't be shy to show what you're capable of. The point of a forum topic like this, in my opinion, is to show off users' talents and skills in arts. Think of it as a motivation. You post what you draw and contribute for others to admire and discuss, allowing you to practice your skills, get better, and gain more friends in the forums and the fandoms. It's a plus-plus benefit in this regard.

Somehow I managed to come with the best portrait draft once in a while in the span of one morning. Despite the crappy paper quality, I finally got the proportion for a human character right.     Still improving.

Chubby Nicole :). That bit made my day.   Regarding her design, I like her post genesis design better than her old clothes. They look mush more comfortable and cool. Still, my favorite outfit for her is the one with the casual clothes and a hat (back when she disguised into Mina's concert).   Still doing my homework and didn't get to read the lastest Spark of Life 4/4 yet. Maybe later.

A quick drawing of Sally I made last night, colored this morning.  

As far as you have shown here, Sonic Generations's version is indeed looks the best. I like the one in Sonic Chronicles too, but there are better looking and functioning dungeons in that game than Green Hill Zone.

The greatest quality of Big in Archie comic is his simplicity. Unlike his total goofy counterpart in the games, Big works really well as a good natured guy, as opposed to those corruptable citizen of New Metropolis (Seeing them cheering for a serial killer-wizard to be a king and to drive away to sore city-protectinng AI is grating on my nerve.) The guy answers Sally that Nicole is a good person and that's all he cares, unknowingly ease her worry and bring a smile to this reader's face.   I recently read "Pirate Plunder Panic". Blaze and Marine are really cool. Looks like a lot of things post genesis wave are really enjoyable.

There are not many turn-based strategy games that capture my interest. Fire Emblem series is one of my favorite. The gameplay is very defined and it has very interesting setting. I love the characters' fashions, very inspiring for drawing.   My favorite games are Seisen no Keifu and Sword of Seal. Seisen no Keifu is rather open-ended and very challenging when it comes to map designs and character departments. Sword of Seal, meanwhile, has interesting character types. Roy and his possible love interests are very likable.

This is a good character. I like his vampire-like backstory and power, His conflict with Vesper is also interesting in that, while Twillight is minding his own business, he isn't immune to the greater evil bounded by jealousy and selfishness. Twilight's brooding and conflicting personality has a lot of potential to develop, especially if his love interest Lilac - a key person toward Twilight's mental stability - is properly handled. It would be great if there are more infomation about her in the future.   The problem with the character and setting, in my opinion, however, is easily darkness induced. From the very start, the Shadows seem not a happy race. Twillight is constantly stalked by evil while he rejects any opportunity to have companions. His character's theme is that the world is ambiguous, and any interaction he makes to other people is irrelevent. ธherefore, it's hard to say there is a conflict between good/bad, but rather the actual theme is about a man's struggle to survive a harsh world.   From this, it can be said that your ending remark "Perhaps life isn't as black and white as he thought" is ironic. Up until Twillight meets Lilac, there has not been any light in Twillight's heart. If there's anything Twilight learns from from his new experience, it's "Perhaps life isn't as empty and pointless". if such message is the core theme to his development, you can expands his character in many perspectives: fighting Vester, protecting the girl, gaining more friends and emotions, etc. This would make the character more realistic and likable.     I have a feeling that being erased from existance is a bit overkill, especially if the story's about gaining experiences and ebracing humanistic qualities. There's a risk if he character is killed, everything about him will be loss, and the whole story will be pointless. As a fan character that isn't supposed to die very soon, this bit is also quite irrelevent to the character.   Unless, of course, this is the whole point. maybe your theme is about not forgetting, or taking risk for the greater good. In such case, you need to be sure that, even if Twillight dies and he is erased from existance, what he has done will retained and remain meaningful. Such theme can creates an emotional star-cross lover story or something similar. It's all up to whether you can use his weakness as the plot point or not.   All in all, this a good read. Keep up the good work. Like I said, I'll look forward to read about Lilac if you'll ever post about her.

"Seera/Ciruela Bransford".  

More PC games sounds fine to me. I don't have a lot of other consoles in my house anyway.     If the answer's yes, That's... questionable. I don't think the westerners, who don't know te source material throughly, can make the series go very far, especially when criticism in this franchire is very harsh. People talk all days about how Rise of Lyric was horrible, but nobody talked about Bioware's Sonic Chronicle being a rather good game.   I'd dream of Archie making a Sonic game, though. More Knothole Freedom Fighter's appearances would be cool.
