Great job with your marker work! You've got a good eye for colour too!

Is that a robot I spy? Looking forward to seeing the new guys soon!

I know this'll be petty but no cameo for Mighty and Ray? Really, Team Mania, really? You'll have cute little throwbacks to every other classic sonic thing and you give The Boys a huge nod and yet no cameo of strong dillo and bouncing baby boy? Son I'm a disappoint.

I know this will probably get ignored but it's worth a try. Mate, I have been broken, in a way I still am because when I was small, knowledge about Aspergers in the wider community was bugger all. Kids bullied me and a lot of the teachers while lovely didn't quite get why I was and in the end after years of struggling to suck it up and work hard I got rewarded with Anxiety and Depression for my efforts in high school. I can't work unless I know an employer who is flexible who can give me a position that's casual and quiet. Otherwise I'm boned. The chemicals in my head are fine 95% of the time but that 5%? I'm a wreck. Very few employers want to hire a person who is mentally ill, no matter how hard they work, how smart they are and whether the meds work and it gets worse if you're a person of colour or in the LBGT spectrum because to be blunt we're 'crazy', unpredictable and at times broken. Only in the last 20 years has things progressed in mental health that people have been given a better chance to live before then oh hooboy were you screwed...the stigma that physical and mentally disabled folks faced in the 'good old days' was frightening. And in lots of ways we still do face lot of problems by the wider community, my dad for example faces stigma from some of my relatives and others due to developing chronic fatigue syndrome. They either think he's lazy or he should try all this quack stuff to get better and get back to work. My dad was and still is a very hard worker but he just can't do the stuff he used to thanks to a drug backfiring on him, which then took him years to get work cover to recognise that was the case. And this is Australia, everyday I'm grateful I've got an income, that my parents happily let me live under their roof, that I can draw and enjoy life. But I'm not going to tell others that they just need to suck it up and they'll be fine... not after fighting two god damn years to pull myself out of a depressive spiral with a lot of help and nearly all of my god damn willpower. If my dad, my mum or I were in the U.S. we'd be screwed so hard. This 'fuck you, I got mine' attitude just rustles my jimmies and combine it with 'you just need work hard and ignore the haters' just really makes me a mad Mighty. People who society doesn't like will get screwed because they're LBGT/Disabled/PoC e.t.c.. They should be allowed to discuss, complain or offer solutions to help improve their lives.

I love your sketches, they are just adorable! If you're in the mood for a challenge since you're offering to maybe draw folks' oc's you could always try drawing my Bulky Flower https://mightyray.deviantart.com/art/Bulky-Flower-436523986

Just going to ask again since no noticed my question last time. Do Mighty and Ray get a cameo in Mania?

That is an adorable poster! It really brings a smile to my face the more I look at it!

A long, long while ago, probably late last year I asked SSMB who or what Ray should dress up as? Three very nice folks placed their suggestions and so here they are! @Failinhearts wanted to see Ray dress up as Sayaka Miki. (Say have these two interacted at all in the RP? I really can't remember.) @Celestia wanted to see Ray honour the great Dr Eggman And @Kiah wanted Ray to give out some laughs by dressing up as a clown. Hope you guys like the pictures! Enjoy!

Any word on a Mighty and Ray cameo?

I have! It's great. Feels so good to listen to Love Like You on the go when you're feeling wistful.

So do you remember in S2 of SSMB Heroes in Ray's story that the heroes confronted a monster Ray? Specially this guy? Well I decided to give him a refined coloured image. Say hi to Monster Ray V2. At the moment he's just an abstract concept in Ray's head but if enough people like the guy he just might pop up in season 4 of SSMB Heroes. He operates very differently to the current Monster Ray running around. That's all I'm saying about the guy for the moment. Enjoy!
