I...have a problem.
It's 01:00 (1 AM, I think) and he just appeared on my paper.
I have never drawn anything Kirby before why is this happening
From an old sketch that I didn’t do anything with, to this! It’s not perfect...but, hey! It’s a thing! And I spent a lot of time on it! And it’s DONE!
I’m very happy about that!
Oh, and here’s what happened when I played around with brushes:
I thought it looked like cardboard, so I saved it as a copy.
I agree! That would be pretty neat, especially since the old fans are, well, old now! It's about time the eternally young children grew up a little - even if just a little! It would make things far more interesting than just a minor ""passing on the torch"" thing! I just hope they actually go through with what they started inatead of reseting everything again...
I also hope they acknowledge the whole age thing at some point...like, how old are they now? Are any of them getting any therapy? Or joining a support group? Or getting parental figures in their lives? I need answers!
Hey, has it ever clicked for anyone that Sonic is literally a child? I know some people usually go "teenagers aren't kids, they're basicly younger grown-ups!" But like, that's absolutly not true? Teenagers ARE kids! They're older, they're on the road of BECOMING adults, but they AREN'T!
The point being, I can't even IMAGINE what kind of messed up trauma riddled mind Sonic has at this point. Just- the childhood trauma I've had has been enough to eff me up real bad, imagine what all the stuff SONIC has been through has done to him!
And I know; I know that Japan has a thing with idolizing children that behave maturely and/or takes on a bunch of responsibility, but still! He's been 15 years old for, what, 20 years? And he's been through hell and back and fought several gods and always been the one to stand strong and never give up! Imagine the mental and emotional toll!
As a kid I always thought "wow! Sonic is so cool and mature!" And now as a 21 year old I just get an intense parental need to just- get him therapy and protect him from the world. It's kinda scary how many emotions and instincts media can trigger, actually!
And I know that it'd be pointless to protect him from a lore standpoint; he's more powerful than some human nobody ever would be, but I just-
He's 15 YEARS OLD you guys!
A kid!
And that realisation hit me like a freight train a couple of months ago, and it re-hit me after playing Sonic Frontiers!
Update:
The physics gods finaly granted me mercy! I hope I won't need it for Ares Island...
Take it from me who's played 9.5 hours of it on Steam! Not for everyone, certainly not from the pricetag, but it's SO FUN!!!
I even set all the speed settings to full (which affects the plattforming a lot less than I thought it would honestly,) and it feels GREAT! It feels FAST! Combine that with the full-rings boost and infinite boost? SPEED INCARNATE!!!
And I don't think I need to say it, but the music is amazing!
9.5 hours into the game and I say it's a clear 10/10 in fun factor so far! Highly recomend it for speedsters and speed-demons!
I have some better ones I’ll post in just a moment.
Anyway, it’s incredible what some extra lines and a change of colour can do.
