NEW PROJECT: Sonic Forces - Sunset Heights (0% complete)
Target 6 minutes (90%) Editing (10%)
I'm doing this remix for Sonic Legacy to use in the video of their first issue. The only stipulations are that it has to be "beachy" and I have to time it with the story and the voice acting. I've been coming up with a few ideas over the past few days but I haven't had much time to actually get it down. Work has been pretty hectic as of late. Well now's my chance! Also, I love remixing Ohtani's work because we pretty much share the same Drum 'n Bass genre as our strongpoint. It leaves a lot of room for innovation.

I worry that rushing a drawing will greatly effect the quality. With the contest I wanted to enter, I forgot to take into account the different time zones. So the deadline was going to be much sooner.
Had to cancel sleep but I did get something that looks like a finished piece of art done in time.

Now I need to go lay down.

We know five of the seven zones that will be in TSR, and I'm going to go there once again. Four of the five tracks from Sonic R fit inside those zones. Is it too much to think that a space zone will be one of the seven zones to fit the last track?

My first official contribution to Sonic Legacy! I decided to take on the task of composing a theme for Dr. Eggman in this up-and-coming web-series! The point was to make a mix of sound styles, with the orchestral Eggman theme from Sonic ’06, an intense feeling from Eggman’s theme from Sonic Adventure 2, and my own little twist of Drum ‘n Bass. It features a few orchestral MIDIs along with plenty of customized synths, and completely original lyrics.
Trumpets and strings in the beginning to give it a darker feel before it really pops off. The YEEHAW was inspired by Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine, as that was his line in the game. I’m learning quite a bit by just exploring equalizers and finding new sounds, and learning how to better adjust then in-pattern. Hence the futuristic sounding synths. Tried to keep it intense, what I really pictured was a hostile robot takeover in action. Something that fits the attitude that lets you know that Eggman means business.
I received a lot of external help from the Sonic Legacy crew, fixing up knicks and smoothing things over. It took quite a bit of time and a lot of extra ears to oversee that this is as good as it can get. I am a little nervous about how well my voice is going to go over. I tried my best to sing it out and edit it properly. I even learned a few things along the way, mostly about how most raw files need to be compressed to even things out. I spent a lot of time editing each and every individual waveform, every consonant and vowel. I am now more easily identifying starts and ends, and I’m paying attention to every detail down to the last 1/1000th of a second to keep it smooth and not jumpy. It helps
Eggman Army come forth! Arise! Get down to the jams and party it up robot style! And hey . . . thanks for the listen! Here’s to the future! Don't forget to check out everything Sonic Legacy at https://tapas.io/series/Sonic-Legacy and join the Discord channel at https://discord.gg/tdxmJv2 
LYRICS:
YEE-HAW!
You’ve taken everything
I used to be, away from me
You left me broken down and shaken
It’s boiling up inside
This pain I feel’s become so real
It hurts so much and I can’t take it
My vengeance is burning
You will see a side of me I just can’t hide
My time is approaching
You could never stop me even if you try
Keep your fear
Take your sorrow
It’s too late for you to leave it all behind
And when you see my face, you will know your place
You will pay when I take over for all time
When the world is mine (x2)
Now I'm coming and I'm headed your way
There's nothing you can change, nothing you can say
I'm gonna take over and it starts today (x2)
LET'S GO!
Keep your fear
Take your sorrow
It’s too late for you to leave it all behind
And when you see my face, you will know your place
You will pay when I take over for all time
When the world is mine (x4)
WHEN THE WORLD IS MINE!

New Smash Bros. character leak and quite unexpected.
 

First pic of 2019 is here and it's none other than Sonic himself

Here he is dropping in to set the theme for all of my January art, so if I get to more art this month expect to see characters dropping in in any number of ways. Meanwhile hope everyone enjoys this Sonic pic even as I bemoan his left foot. Feet are so hard to draw right some days 🤣

Continuing work on my TMNT review thumbnail, which will have specialized art for it!

I think my SSMB-versary was a couple days ago . . . . Time flies so much that every day just kinda merges together into one.
Anyway, been quite the two years I've gotten to know y'all. I've had a lot of fun so far. I feel like I can tell you guys anything. So thank you all for being in my life. That's from the heart
Enough of the mushy stuff. I do have news about my upcoming track, When The World Is Mine, theme song for Dr. Eggman in Sonic Legacy. It's currently getting some extra editing done by some of the Legacy team. I'm doing a few changes myself as well, tidying things up and what not, learning some better ways to edit. I do like what I'm getting back so far, it's kind of like an enhancement. There's still plenty of time before its release, which if I'm not mistaken is set for January 31, 2019. Same day that Issue 2 is due, Eggman's first appearance. I should definitely work on something else in the meantime, keep the subscribers from waiting too long XD. I'm also currently collabbing with some colleagues to come up with a theme song for Legacy. I would like to start another remix but haven't figured out which one to do yet. I'm thinking something from the Adventure era. I just realized I haven't touched anything from Adventure 1 yet. I'll think of something
And now, I leave you with this video that I've been laughing at for like an hour straight

Happy birthday!

So one of my recent pics didn't end up over here for various reasons of late but since I decided to put all of my Rosy pics together into one pic figured I'd share it here as well so enjoy to any who care (also enjoy the inconsistences of my art - Mwa, ha, ha, ha, ha!)

LETS FUCKING GO!

The only sad thing about a remake of Crash Team Racing is that we wouldn't get to hear this every time we turn it on.

If a Crash Team Racing remake really is a thing, that's probably the only reason I was ever a Crash fan so count me in.

That's sale number three for my first self-published book on the Kindle store. Admittedly it was published more than a year ago, but every sale works to improving my ranking on Amazon's servers, which I'm hoping is high enough to attract a bit of attention for my fourth book release.
