In which I reblog stuff I like on tumblr and post my fan-works. Writer of the "Sonic the Hedgehog" Fan Comic "Sea3on": www.sonicsatam.com/sea3on My Art Blog: erictmason.tumblr.com COMMISSIONS OPEN: gojira007.tumblr.com/post/168682813032/yup-finally-diving-into-this-wide-wacky-world
If I had a nickel for every time the "Sonic" franchise introduced a new Dragon character who was notable for being clumsy but nonetheless acted as a Guardian for her species, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
(Originally had this idea back in March for my Dragon Theme Month of weekly pics but realized it was a bit too Big an idea for a weekly pic, so I decided to give it the Full Treatment!)

As has become my tradition, it’s time for all Sonic and Sally Shipping Stans to celebrate as we band together to enjoy all the elements that make this Ship so great!
BOUND FOR FREEDOM: SONIC x SALLY WEEK, YEAR EIGHT!
This year, our event will run from TUESDAY, AUGUST 11th TO TUESDAY, AUGUST 18th! You can participate either by submitting directly to this blog, or else by tagging your post with any of these tags: #boundforfreedom, #sonally week, and/or #sonsal week (make sure to include at least one of these tags within the first five tags of the post so that they will show up in Tumblr’s Search). If your submission is not reblogged here within 24 hours, please message either this blog directly, or the blog runner, @gojira007
As has become tradition, our usual daily prompts will be unified this time around by a THEME! You’re free to make of that theme what you like; maybe you use it to supplement your piece or link your contributions together, or maybe you use the Theme itself as your inspiration if the daily prompt isn’t really doing it for you, or maybe you just ignore it all together! But whatever you want to do with it, the theme is there to help really bring this year’s event to life.
And what is the Theme this year? Well, last year, we explored the vast Multiverse of possibilities Sonic and Sally might exist across, so I thought this year we'd get back to Fundamentals, really digging in to the Nature of the characters, so to speak.
THIS YEAR’S THEME IS…“ELEMENTS”!
As always, All mediums are welcome! Fan art, fanfiction, headcanons, whatever you can think of…as long as it’s about showing some love for Sonic x Sally, it’s welcome here, so long as it follows our rules, which you can read here: https://boundforfreedomsonsal.tumblr.com/aboutrules
In addition to this year’s new prompts listed below the cut, you are also free to use the prompts from previous years as well, which you can find in our Prompts archive here: https://boundforfreedomsonsal.tumblr.com/prompts
If you aren’t able to submit in time for a day’s prompt, don’t worry about it! We’ll continue to accept submissions for all prompts starting from the day the new prompt is introduced onward (and yes, that does include promots from past years).
If you want to begin preparing in advance, our new prompts are listed below the cut.
I look forward to seeing what everybody has to offer, and I’m very eager to share my own SonSal Love too. ^_^
I already love the dynamic here, the way each one's colors and fashion choices tell us something about them. It also gives them an immediately-endearing group dynamic that makes me want to know more about their relationship. And your strong hand for texture and detail feels especially keen here; the distinctive hairstyles, the jewelry, the facial features all feel so nicely individualized and believable for how particularly you've rendered them.

if youre in the US (especially the northeast + michigan) i would avoid bagged salads/greens and generally wash your produce very thoroughly unless you want the diarrhea parasite
Michigan is experiencing its largest outbreak of a parasitic infection that causes severe diarrhea. Nearly 1,000 people have been diagnosed
this is not life-threatening, but also who wants weeks of diarrhea and a fucking parasite in them lol. if you suspect you've already had this and it's passed, i would see a doctor. you might need an antiparasitic anyway. if you're actively sick, see a doctor and they might be able to prescribe medication to help you get over it faster.
try to avoid eating raw vegetables, scrub fruit with a produce brush and rinse thoroughly with water. again, don't bother with premade greens or bagged salads. if you buy lettuce, remove the outer 2-3 layers of leaves.
there are UNVERIFIED rumors that the greens have been linked to a company that sources to taco bell. some locations have been actively pulling fresh ingredients like lettuce, avocado, and pico de gallo to mitigate the threat, so i would avoid any products from them just in case. considering how vast supply chains are, i'd be wary of any fast food greens in general for now.

Dang, FULL credit on the Deep Cut there, and I REALLY love the detail-rich way you expand on the characters' original designs; all the little nuts 'n' bolts 'n' layers to Ape III are especially fun, but also the more Grease Monkey style for Alice's outfit came out great too!
The bombastic feel of all the colors here, from the sharp pink stars in the backdrop to the searing sharp glow of the scythe to especially the warm reds of the outfit, is so much fun and immediately sets an endearing but also exciting mood for the scene! The way you take advantage of the character's distinctive shapes in the posing is also so great, I LOVE the kicked-out leg and arm and how pointed they feel for how you shape their rounded paws, and the way you match the curve of the tails to that of the scythe blade is brilliant.
Again you handle the underwater aesthetic beautifully, I REALLY love the layered lighting and how well you use it to give us a full appreciation for the scale and depth of the environment. That in turn lets us appreciate all the more how believably the characters move through it too. The reflective look of the character colors is likewise great, especially with how well it lets us appreciate the distinctive personality you put into Rue.
Oh the way you tie all the elements here to that Big Ol' Spoon is just a TON of fun! The fun reactive way you orient the pose around holding it takes really good advantage of the character's broad round shapes and the way it connects to the snack-themed backdrop adds to the charm of the whole scene. Your watercolor work continues to impress too; the lineless colors of the chocolates and strawberries is richly rendered enough on its own, but I especially like how well it also emphasizes the character's brighter clearer colors too.

The clever use of lighting to help both lead the eye through the scene and play into the dynamic of the characters is great; the actual light from the window acting as a frame between them centers the scene really nicely, and the way it casts Takeo in the sun while Yuuki is in shadow gives their appreciably grounded interaction an extra stylish air that heightens our feeling of the emotions at play. You handle the differing weight and shape of each character really effectively too; the sleek way Yuuki's form flows with the tail and the weight of Takeo leaning on his elbow both work great.
You do such a lovely job utilizing each character's most distinctive animal traits in the posing and composition; the big bend of Twiga's neck leading our eye to Sawa is especially good, but I also appreciate the relaxed spread of Sawa's legs too. More over, the affectionate touch they share with each other is so, so nicely observed and authentically sweet. Your colors are also in top form here, at once vibrant and catching but also natural and believable, as fits the nature of the characters.
Ooh I REALLY like that slick sleek take on Hordak's outfit, the way you tie its flow to the calm controlled look of the pose is great. Wrong Hordak's loose playful posing is likewise delightful, and I LOVE the floral-print shirt, it fits him so perfectly! ^_^
Even before I saw the comment, the hair is indeed the thing that most stood out to me here, I LOVE the particular way you render its bouncy fluff. The light brightness of the colors also suits Aziraphale really nicely, and you handle the distinct weight and textures of the different layers of his outfit really well too.
many people ask 'how do i know my art is good enough to start a comic'. this is a very common mistake. you do not make a comic to make good art you make comics because its fun and looked yummy

Oh dang I REALLY like the Cool blue tint of the colors, the way that plays with the warm browns and reds of Sally's fur and hair is really satisfying! It's also matched very nicely to the crisp light touch of the line work; the detailing of the boots especially works quite nicely. And it's all tied in to the calm confidence of the pose and expression in a really nice way!
I think people are too quick to assume Marty McFly's parents are completely clueless about the identity of Calvin Marty Klein.
George is a sci fi author who completely bought the idea that a space alien was going to melt his brain. And Lorraine was laser focused on Marty for just about the entire week.
Lorraine in the first timeline remembered the story of how she and George met, and I'm sure Calvin would have made it into the retelling in the second timeline.
I can imagine it going something like this.
Lorraine: "You know I've been thinking about Calvin Klein, and I've come to a conclusion about him."
George: "Oh! Me too!"
Lorraine: "You go first."
George: "No you."
Lorraine: "Ok, we'll do it at the same time."
George: "Calvin Klein was our son Marty traveling back in time and--"
Lorraine: "Calvin Klein was gay"
Lorraine: "Wait what?"
George: "Wait what?"
And George explains his theory and Lorraine's like. What the fuck obviously that's not true and if it was that would be so fucked up.
He's like "Star Trek and Star Wars were still 11 and 22 years away! But I am sure he called himself Darth Vader from Vulcan!"
But his story makes too much sense. And one day they get in an argument with someone else about Johnny B. Goode. "No it couldn't have come out in '58. The dance was our senior year, that woulda been 1955, and Calvin said it was an oldie then."
One day Lorraine is picking up underwear for her kids on some shopping trip and she leans over to George and says "hah! Look! Purple underwear. Wait a minute."
And they can't say anything to Marty cuz he's just this kid, still too young to be Calvin. And while George is anxious to get his theory confirmed, Lorraine is just trying to keep it out of her mind.
But one day Marty starts acting weird. He keeps getting confused about basic facts of his and his parent's life. And one day Lorraine starts telling the story of how she and George met again and Marty just kinda shifts and fidgets awkwardly and stares off into the distance and Lorraine's just thinking oh my GOD my husband better not be right about this.
But yeah I think the only reason it doesn't come up is we only see Marty's parents for a few moments and they probably don't think of this mystery all that often. But I think they know or at least that it's one hypothesis on their radar.
I do like to think that A Match Made In Space has a dedication to Calvin Marty Klein.
