Monkey Destruction Switch

I wish I could look forward to it probably being in the modern world since I like a lot of modern Sonic concepts and characters, but Sega has made me really resent what modern Sonic has become due to over-segregating it from classic, axing Archie, and just being so incompetent over the years. Whether it's classic or modern, though, I'm still looking forward to it. Seeing Chao again would be nice.

Congratulations! It's great that the site is still thriving to this day. New theme is rad 👍

Nice work. I love your avatars. I also really like Sonic golfing

The new design is pretty alright with me. I could live with this. Heck, I might even watch the movie.

@DanJ86 Both the avatar and signature look quite awesome. I really like the concept behind the sig and the execution is nice too.

Those comics are pretty funny and well-drawn and I like that 2019 celebration pic a lot too - nice rainbow background!

I wanna support this because it's plausible and makes Knuckles' gullibility make more sense, but I feel like it goes beyond headcanon into rewrite territory.

I think I would like to make music someday. I used to play the cello so I guess I have at least a little experience to go on. My parents recently got a keyboard that someone was giving away because I expressed an interest in the keyboard (since I love New Wave, I would probably like to make synth-y music), so I messed around with it the other day. Just messing around, I don't really know how to play it lol...but it was fun! I also did some drawing recently, including a digitally-colored piece and some pieces I plan to digitally color, a change from my usual traditional art. As much as I like traditional, I'll definitely continue to pursue digital coloring too as it certainly has its perks. I want my art to be a nice blend of things - traditional pieces and digital pieces, original art and fan art, etc. (If you're interested in seeing the results of my drawing endeavors, see here.) Also, my interest in drawing Sonic characters and coming up with Sonic concepts has recently been revived, which I think is a good thing, as they're fun to draw and it's a great source of inspiration!

I've done a lot of art since last time. Here are a few of the highlights. More on DeviantArt!

Sadly, I often forget to listen to Xscape, which is a mistake. This song is amazing and the original is even better than the remix.

Yep, it is. I don't go on it much anymore, so I can't tell you anything about its current happenings, but it seems to still be fairly active. (I'm not super active on these forums in general actually, but I'm around here and there xP)

Yes, it is, don't worry. xD

I remember you posting in the Ken Penders topic back in the day. Welcome back and hope you enjoy your stay!

You're so good at drawing and coloring! Very impressive work! Looking forward to seeing more from you!

Cute! This style works well. Knuckles and Amy won by far. It was fun seeing them interacting lol. Probably a smart idea to come up with a stylish and less labor-intensive style like this that they can use for more frequent mini-entries in the series. Of course, obviously the frame-by-frame is the main style, but it makes sense that they'd want another style that's easier to do. BTW - I never posted in this topic my thoughts on this series as a whole because I didn't watch it until recently, due to being burnt out from Sonic. I don't feel like writing at length about it, but suffice it to say I absolutely love these shorts. Personality, fun, simple but nice stories, and excellent aesthetics - what more could I want? In fact, they've made my shortlist of best non-games Sonic media.

I had a lazy and unproductive day outside of work but at the last minute I decided to make some new Firefox themes. Very simple (I didn't even make new header art, just like yesterday) and they're yet to be approved, but it's fun to whip a few together. Soon I should actually make some new header art, but it's fun to just make color schemes and stuff like that...but most of the color schemes I made today are purposefully extreme and niche, such as garishly bright green, garishly dark black, garishly light white... lol Also, thanks for sharing about your cool projects, everyone!

Here's an open-ended thread can just basically talk about what you've been up to lately creatively speaking. It's not the same as a typical Showcase thread where the main point is to, well, showcase your works - though you can certainly do that if you've completed a piece or to show your progress, you can also just talk about what you've been working on and how it's been going. It's basically just a way to track your progress and encourage others. I also need to emphasize that it can be ANY kind of creative work, whether it's writing, drawing, painting, crafts, film-making, design, coding, or anything else which involves creating something in a creative manner! Now, we don't want to get spammy so try to include some details of your process or WIP images if desired rather than just saying "Worked on my painting a bit today" or something like that. Of course you don't have to write a book either - though you can if you want 😜 - It's interesting. Last year, I got into drawing again after sort of neglecting it for a while. At the start of this year, my interest in other creative hobbies was revived so for a while I haven't been drawing as much! Of course I do want to get back to drawing, but I'm also glad that I remembered some of my other hobbies. As far as writing goes, I dabbled in some short stories that I'll probably never finish or show to anyone and also finished a Superman short story I started a long time ago and forgot about (warning: it's kinda depressing). I'm hoping in the future to finish a couple other Superman stories I started and continue dabbling with random ideas. Then there's my interest in web development and design. A while ago I started a Superman fansite with an accompanying forum, but I stopped bothering with 'em for a long time. Just recently though, I suddenly felt inspired to change that and did a little more work on the forum. Of course it's using premade forum software, but I'm making tweaks, mostly stylistic. I haven't been advertising the forum yet so it's empty at the moment other than my sister and I, but I'm thinking I might be ready in the near future to start sharing it with more people and seeing if I can get some discussions going. Not that I expect much popularity, but it'd be fun to try. I also got the idea to use userscripts and userstyles extensions to add mobile-friendliness to some forums that don't have it yet. I started doing such a project today, in fact. It will mostly be a CSS (styling) job, but I had to write a tiny bit of JavaScript to add the meta viewport tag, and I'm embarrassed that I'm so out of practice that I could barely remember simple JavaScript! I have a job in the web industry, but it doesn't involve any JavaScript at all, so I'm pretty rusty! All the more reason to try to do more coding projects in the future. Finally, Firefox themes. Firefox majorly changed their theming system, and though they added some great new features, I was confused and frustrated when I first tried the new system, so for a long time I haven't made any themes. But today I decided to give it another try, and realized that once you learn your way around the unfortunate quirks and annoyances, the new theme system is pretty fun and easy - and of course, has some additional capabilities. So far, the new themes I've made are simple and some of them use header images I've used previously, but with different color settings that the new technology makes possible. I'm definitely looking forward to getting back into making themes as it's quick and easy, but still creative, fun, and satisfying. Probably my favorites that I made today are Zippy Color Craze and Magenta Delight. Both use previously made header images, but with a nice clean white toolbar and some touches of color. - So what have you all been up to?

You have remarkable skill with this sort of thing. They all rock. Good job arranging the images in an exciting and engaging way!

Now that you mention it, the way his upper torso is slimmed down kind of bugs me too and his mustache looks better without if it's more of a concrete shape instead of all those overly detailed hairs. Strongly agree. Before I barely knew anything about Sonic, I thought those long spines looked a little silly. Plus, he's a hedgehog, not a porcupine 😜
