Thanks for stopping by.

Finally, the side project I was chipping away at for over two years is done!

PMMM Precure AU! It was fun trying to keep their outfits recognizable while trying to make them look more cohesive. Homura's is definitely the most changed, so I hope it still looks enough like her???

The themes would be gemstones, jewelry, and wishes. I'd probably have their Cure names be gemstones, maybe Opal/Morganite, Sapphire/Turquoise, Topaz/Citrine, Ruby, Amethyst, but I'm not strongly attached... Transformation item is supposed to be like a little faberge egg style jewelry box with the ring as a key TroRouge style!

Vague plot idea: There's a big important magic gem that can grant any wish, guarded by the Kyubeys for generations. The last person who successfully used it was a princess centuries back, but she vanished mysteriously and no one remembers what she wished for anymore... (Definitely she was NOT lost in time and will NOT show up later on with her own thoughts on if the Precure are doing things correctly...)

To activate it, you need to gather enough energy from granting people's wishes. Recently there's a coven of witches going around bespelling people into serving them and stealing their wish energy... Unclear on the end goal, but it doesn't look great! So one baby Kyubey heads off alone to try and awaken the Precure to fight them off and claim the big wish for themselves, to maybe bring back the princess???

Hey artists, C. Spike Trotman, founder of Iron Circus Comics, just posted an invaluable thread on depicting different types of black hair. I’d do the thing where you screencap the whole thread and post it but it’s just too long (which is great because it’s a whole lot of useful information!) Give her a follow while you’re there.

So as you know from my previous posts on the subject Sonic Speed Simulator is annoyingly supposed to be canon. But there is another detail is the devs imply Sonic Forces: Speed Battle might also be considered canon by SEGA.

"...th it because they are all 'phantom illusions' not sure if Sonic Dash has an excuse, might be one of the few non-canon sonic games."....... This line implies that SFSB is considered canon, while Sonic Dash's canonicity is up in the air. This detail is also mentioned in the Sonic The Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia as it brings up this detail. Giving and explanation that isn't necessary for a non-canon game. "Players are pitted against three other people in real time, although the other racers are presented as Phantom Copies. The objective is to be the first to reach the Phantom Ruby prototype at the end of the track -- by any means necessary. Gathering Rings increases your top speed, while item bubbles grant either shields or access to one of the character's unique abilities.".......

So yeah this game might be canon, and there are issues that arise from it, but first to describe what we know. This is game is a somewhat a simulated race Tails creates using the Phantom Ruby prototype as he is the one who does all the talking in the game. There is one real character that is canonically racing against phantom ruby copies whose power reflect the actual character they are mimicking. This is because a phantom ruby Sonic copy will have the same abilities as the real Sonic. Also, at least a canon non Phantom Ruby copy Eggman wouldn't happen.

So this raises a lot of issues mainly is this game would likely have to occur after the Sonic Forces but probably before the IDW Comics. This is because of the theming, name, and well stages. And how it would be weird if Tails just kept using stages from Sonic Forces and no other game.

By extension a paradox is created when he encounters characters that he should only know about if the IDW Comics and Speed Sim had already happened. As examples these include the likes of Tangle, Surge, Lego Dr. Eggman, Movie Sonic, and Sonic in the Phantom Rider.

But maybe this game does take place alongside the IDW Comics and Speed Sim, and Tails weirdly hasn't decided to use newer stages and the stages are full on simulations. You still have some questionable stuff if not canon breaking stuff.

For example, the Phantom Ruby Prototype can just casually create a Super character!!! Another being the implied abilities Sonic characters just have now. For example, Amy having ice powers and the ability to smite people.

But then you have the canon breaking characters that don't make sense to canonically show up or even have Phantom Ruby copies made of them. The first one being Sir Gawain as Tails wouldn't know how to recreate them even if Sonic told them about the adventure he went on. You also just have an issue of them leaving the storybook world and showing up in Sonic's World.

But then you have Mephiles The Dark which nobody should know about or remember. The only character who is even remotely aware of Mephiles is Shadow and I don't think he bothered to tell Tails about this weirdo in white space yapping about restoring himself to the timeline. Let alone gave a detailed and accurate description of him and his powers, so Tails could create a Phantom Ruby copy.

So yeah Sonic Forces: Speed Battle might be canon, and like Sonic Speed Sim it would break the continuity even further. Written by Eris the Lorekeeper

i swapped nikki & bai jinjin's faces cause i was bored, but it also gave me plenty of valuable insights about their differences!

here's what i've gathered:

while nikki's eyes are droopy & slightly pink, bai jinjin's eyes are square & more brown

nikki's head is slightly larger. even after resizing bai jinjin's face, i struggled placing it on nikki's head in a way that matched her proportions. i didn't resize nikki's face on bai jinjin

nikki's face is longer, which also contributed to me struggling to place their faces in a way that fits

nikki is slightly paler than bai jinjin

this shows that instead of copying & pasting nikki's sprite & adding a couple of changes, the artists drew bai jinjin on her own while managing to make her look quite similar to nikki. i think thats pretty cool

This survey has three questions and should only take a couple of minutes.
