>Link CompilationDrawfag/Writefag Idea WallsNews/DevelopmentsRecent Releases
Happy birthday /sthg/, I might draw something too.
Carter Hall
Happy 2nd birthday /sthg/. Here's to another year of unrelenting autism
Joshua Hernandez
>2 years later and I'm still here Love you faggots
Ian Thompson
Happy Birthday /sthg/! I can't draw Sonic characters yet because of anatomy but have something I drew in a flockdraw a long time ago!
Zachary Carter
Out of interest, obviously fuck namefags, but how come some of you guys don't sign your art?
Lincoln Long
Happy b-day, sthg
Kevin Lopez
>toes
Also yes happy birthday.
Brayden Moore
I didn't mean to make it that long.
Kayden Martinez
The way your work looks should be its own signature. If people can't recognize it as yours, then you're not good enough to be noticed.
Hunter Brooks
Happy birthday you fags!
Mason White
Most of recognize the artstyle so we don't need a name for them
Unless it's a new person, then we ask and get information
Jayden Thomas
Never thought of it that way, makes sense.
Wyatt Thomas
>If people can't recognize it as yours, then you're not good enough to be noticed harsh
Andrew Johnson
I used to sign my art when I was in high school, but nowadays I don't care because everyone knows my drawings when they see them, and they're not my characters anyway.
Caleb Morales
Show me any artist in this general who signs their work, and I'll show you somehow who desperately craves attention from others.
Liam Garcia
Happy birthday you faggots! Guess you got your presents early.
Adam Morris
Which characters would fit Joseph Joestar and Jotaro Kujo? I'm thinking Sonic for the former and Shadow for the latter.
Carter Gomez
I want to snuggle you guys.
Jordan Campbell
Oh yes, two wieners
Chase Murphy
>somehow Shit. someone*
Cameron Murphy
Yup! And what presents they are
Hunter Gonzalez
That's pretty strong language, user, and I'd say not at all reflective of our drawfags.
Jayden Phillips
abt does I personally like signatures, I feel like they're a seal of quality from the artist. Also some signatures can be fancy as fuck. I think you're being a bit harsh.
Henry Walker
Happy birthday, /sthg/!
Sonicfag from /fgog/ here, we're also having our first anniversary in five days.
Nolan Robinson
...
Jack Perry
May your general have a nice anniversary.
Nolan Cook
Thanks user.
Nathan Gutierrez
Happy birthday /sthg/, I hope we can enjoy more good games together.
Cooper Sullivan
Yoto and he has the most recognizable style
Levi Russell
We can't go back to slow again!
Carson Green
Back to my job of bumping the threads at night.
Wyatt Wood
>gets back from san diego >reads /sthg/ threads about the party i attended >no one pointed out Ben Kalough, a True God of the Sonic fanbase was the livestream host I am disappoint
Probably because It wasn't the best stream service in the world
Carson Carter
no, rando house of blues employee came in shortly before the event started and fucked around with the audio settings that were already set, if it weren't for that the audio would have been balanced/mixed very well
Cameron Gutierrez
Did anyone made the webm with the emotional meme man?
Hunter Morris
Does he decide on what camera the stream shows? If he did, then he fucked us with switching out during the costume contest and the VAs parts.
Eli Reed
the host does not direct the live stream, the host hosts it
Juan Harris
Then I'm not seeing why I should care who he is or did.
Chase Russell
"i hate fun, who can i be negative at? if I can't be negative at this person, what's the point?"
what a damn tool
Camden Adams
You all deserved the stream you got, confirmed.
Jordan Brown
So we deserved a cool stream, that, despite some difficulties, was an absolute blast to watch and made us fast again? Sounds about right
Camden Powell
>waaaah you don't love this literal who you must hate fun waaaaaaaah
I just got home user, I don't know when I'll have it ready or if it'll be ready today but I'll eventually get to it.
Hunter Price
What if Sally was wearing a wig the whole time?
Charles Jenkins
...
Robert Collins
Is it save to assume this Nexus dude is brainwashed by Wally? I mean isn't that where he ran off to after he got his shit kicked in by Eggman? Poor Rogue is never gonna get to keep any of those false master emeralds.
Carter Murphy
It's safe to assume that he literally is Naugus.
Josiah Perry
But he looks like one of Knuckles species then again so did Thrash and we know how that went
Ethan Turner
Shapeshifting dude. Look at their outfits, they're similar.
Brandon Wood
I really like this style, is not full chubby-classic sonic but it's still retro
Tyler Martinez
IT's been outright stated in the reboot that Naugus can shapeshift, and Nixus has many of the same design elements of Naugus. They're one and the same. Fuck's sake, Nixus is literally a combination of Naugus+Ixis See pic related
Josiah Roberts
There's no way it'll be an actual enchilada. Sega has an explicit mandate about Knuckles being the last of his kind (Tikal is still able to appear because she's explicitly a ghost), and we all know that if there's a new non-game enchilada around, Penders will sue Archie AGAIN.
Logan Cruz
>Sega has an explicit mandate about Knuckles being the last of his kind They actually don't. Ian has said Sega is fine with them using material from Chronicles including the echidnas, it's Penders keeping him from doing so. If it wasn't Penders you'd have Shade, Ix and a bunch of other Nocturnus echidnas running around.
If such a mandate exists, it's probably limited to Knuckles being the last of his tribe to avoid the dozens of bullshit relatives and super secret societies, not the last echidna.
Adrian Powell
All of the characters on the 'Modern' file feels limited for some reason.
Maybe they are hinting of the possibility of other playable characters in the 2017 project.
Tyler Lewis
>If it wasn't Penders you'd have Shade PENDDDEEEERRRRSSS. Why can't he fuck off already?
Dominic Lopez
Hey, there was a youtube video posted several threads ago (probably before the party) that I think was a remix that a lot of anons liked. I missed it then and forgot to listen to it later, does anyone remember what I'm talking about and has the link?
Tell me about it. Bioware putting in the bare minimum of effort managed to do his job better than he ever could. It's almost like Penders is a total fucking hack or something.
Dominic Butler
Penders didn't fucking make the Nocturnus clan. Sega did. He NEEDS to piss right off and let Archie do what they want with Sega's material.
> all of these high-quality renders > they're on a par with the Archie renders used for comic cover artwork > those models were never released > New Sonic game features a 'resistance' theme
DARE I HOPE?!
Jackson Stewart
>so did Thrash
Except that he had fucking ears and didn't have the echidna tail? Thrash was never meant to be taken for an echidna genius.
Camden Allen
He deserves it
Colton Hughes
The part where Johnny takes a nap?
Kayden Brooks
Yep, kind of amazing we were posting his stuff literally right before Mania was announced.
Lincoln Fisher
Oh yeah my friend attended and he's going to give me the usb with the data intact. I'll upload it once he gives it to me.
I'm also getting that sweet anniversary hat.
Luis Sullivan
Don't forget, the last time we saw Naugus was in Hidden Palace Zone at the end of Eggman's Dozen.
Tyler Martin
>Talking with friend at work about vidya >both of us like sonic >he says sonic 3 & k is shit compared to super mario world > ask how > says the game is better designed both for with and without powerups >says the shields are shit since you barely use them or need them >couldn't think of anything to say
Is my friend right, /sthg/?
Carter Rogers
I feel like Shade would be amusing to see in the comic but I can't shake that she'd try to solve her problems with violence even more then Gemerl and Omega do. I wish Gemerl would stop jobbing I mean, he was outnumbered majorly but dammit, I want him to get a cool moment. Same for the acorns. The king may of knocked Bean on his ass but Bark just smashed him like nothing and Sally can barely hold her own in a fight. I'd put more trust in Tails and Cream then in them right now in a battle.
Luis Stewart
I need another party so bad man. I feel a little heartbroken.
Hunter Young
It's just a different way of design, I like the shields in S3&K they give you good movement with a air-dash bounce and 2nd jump. And the Insta-Shield is a good move. Also how is it better designed when you can fly over the whole stage with a cape feather
Jayden Cox
lolno he's mad wrong
It means the game was designed well to allow a player good enough to not need them. Literally the same thing could be said for SMW. I've never NEEDED a power-up to beat the game. That's not a bad thing.
If anything, it can be seen as negative that you need certain items to get secrets in SMW but I wouldn't stretch it that far since they're not important to the core game.
S3&K and SMW are both series' best 2D games. I fucking love them both.
Justin Rogers
I always sign my art out of habit. In case someone who hasn't seen my junk before sees it , they already know what to call me. Or they'll just call me drawfag. Either way. Then again I'm an attention whore.
Benjamin Murphy
For every competent character you need one or more jobbers.
William Lewis
Yoto definitely loves the attention. Source:I'm Yoto
Tyler Clark
>> they're on a par with the Archie renders used for comic cover artwork >yfw the artist who made those renders now works for Sega
creating hype is fun but I actually wouldn't want that
Jack Watson
I too love Yoto.
Andrew Gomez
If you can do sound webm's, can I get one of Amy screaming "You will SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
William Harris
See I agree to an extent. Sally and Nigel are more leaders than fighters (And even though he jobbed, Nigel still came out of that looking pretty damn cool), but I would like to see them kick actual ass soon
Ryan Allen
Well I love your art so I will give you all the attention
Juan Hill
USB contents were already uploaded but it would be fun to see if that one contains a different message.
Isaac Bennett
There's literally nothing wrong with attention whoring providing you're actually good at something.
>It was held in the United States in San Diego in the "Sonic 25th Anniversary Party", the project 2 title of the trailer for the 2017 has been published. >At the moment launch in Japan is undecided ※. Please wait for the follow-up.
Mason Reyes
Probably. I play 3&K every few weeks and off the top of my head I can't think of a place where the lightning shield's ring attraction mattered besides that one upper area in Hydro City.
Josiah James
nips don't care for Sonic. in fact, some would argue that classic sonic was an attempt to get them back into the fold. The only way they'll even consider coming back is if you turned the cast into humanoids with a few traits of animal looks.
