Gift for @todsky.bsky.social for Sky's 25th

So a thumbnail that used practical effects, photography, photoshop and a simple text layer that everyone used in Microsoft Publisher, is more believable to be a AI slop than practices that have been used for the past 50-100 years.

New video on Sonic 2006 and its replayability. youtu.be/dRI0s2qOkbs

Trying #pokemonchampions, first pick of 'mons and I get a gardevoir, so far so good, but why in Arceus' name is the introduction so fucking long? How to battle, recruit, basic strats, etc. Fine. But why does this game that poses itself as a online battling game need a freaking story?-

Our last cat, Wicket, passed away. He was fine last night but... 17 years old. The kids are devastated

A pic I commissioned from @sonicguru.bsky.social last week: Tangle & Whisper dressed like the characters that introduced me to their voice actors. More in ALT. - Todd

It became less about projecting into the character the moment Link became the default name and unchangeable. At best, have him speak rarely. Short sentences, 4-5 words at most. Basically Westley from Princess Bride before he became the Dread Pirate Roberts

I've played Sonic 2006 more than Colours.

“If you use <insert grammatical pet peeve here> then I know your writing was done by AI.” Cool, and if you use AI paranoia to try and shame a writing style you don’t like, then I know you’re a bit of a cunt.

Anniversary gift!

Redesigned Queen of the Merhogs from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog

So a "tell-tale" sign of AI writing is the use of the Oxford Comma? Something that existed WAY before AI writing was a thing, was and still is taught in schools. Is it me or is that fucking stupid? Of course an generative prompt will use an Oxford Comma, because its grammatically correct!

A commission for @vanimal613.bsky.social . Thank you so much for commissioning me. -Mel

My Sonic OC Sky the Echidna will have been around for 25 years on April 24th. I'm currently working on/trying to get ideas for art for her big day, plus if anyone would like to draw her, go for it (all I ask is that you show me, because I love seeing Sky in other people's designs). 🩷 -Mel

So how is YouTube going to spin it and make its users responsible for all future uploads? Its bad enough we can't talk about sex, say bad words, show fictional violence, show weapons, say words that have impact like suicide and pedophile. But dont worry, we have a kids app that no one uses

New video on #SonicRacingCrossWorlds youtu.be/yS0hVp_AmzI

I need a either a work at home job or make $200 per week on YT with art and videos.

14 of my HOT ART pieces have been removed and put my account in suspension. Art that was never a problem originally and was posted behind a pay wall, plus is hand drawn digitally, violated DA's terms because of what exactly?

So a new teaser trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog 4 was released letting us know to mark the date March 2027. Let's see how accurate my theory on Sonic 4 was when the movie comes out. youtu.be/B-eGTUPSa30?...

Got the guide to Sonic magazine, and the A - Z of Sonic has some odd choices. Who the fuck is going to know who Hokey is? Also FOUR Archie characters and a single throwaway STC character

So I think I got the flu a couple days ago. Woke up Friday with a heavy head, aching body, and a persistent cough. Thought it was bad sleep. Sent home from work the next day and today was a slow heal with many flu meds. Hopefully I can move without looking like a hunchback

Got a new laptop on the way. Not a "new top of the line" model, but it is better than what I have. Which is good because my current one just froze twice forcing me to manually restart it.

Really wanted to draw Sky's Doom powered form

4 times i have tried to get the green gem in Crash Bandicoot N.Sane (get all boxes without dying) 4 times I have died to that fucking lizard getting the last 3 boxes.

So... I need a new computer. Went through every solution given to me for slow booting, some apps refusing to open, taskmng not working, the lot. Its official, its dying. After nearly a decades use, its on it way out. Sai still works (thank god) but barely anything else I use.

any suggestions for when the dock stops detecting the switch? theres 2 in the house and the other works fine

I am so pissed off with my laptop. It takes too long to boot, some app/programs either refuse to load or freeze, task manager doesnt work correctly, and I have to manually forxe restart the damn thing. I need a new one or exorcise the damn thing to get it to work normally

Hot take?: Sonic Frontiers doesnt feel like a Sonic Team game. Throughout my entire playthrough I felt like I was playing another officially licensed fangame. Maybe it was the gameplay, the voice direction, the design, the story, but rarely anything seemed "Sonic" to me.

It had moments but 2010-2019 was a dark era, more so than the actual Dark era of Sonic

It amazes me that BandaiNamco is still supporting DB Xenoverse 2 after a decade, on top Fighterz, Kararot, Sparking Zero, Dokkan, Legends, Gekishi and a digital card game

I have the means to play Claire Obscure I've been wanting to try Hollow Knight I need to play Elden Ring after all this time. Fuck it, let's replay Sands of Time because the dicks at Ubisoft canceled the remake. Thats how my mind works unfortunately

Here's an animated sequence I've been on since the 30th of December. A few scenes for a completed animation for a cartoon of Hedley and Smedley, which is currently in the works.
