Is 'Shadow and Jolt' ongoing? I'm curious how their relationship will grow. I like that you made Shadow so calm and always a little sad (and also somewhat clueless toward certain social cues, this make mim more, how to say? 'human?') instead of the boastful psychopath jerk like the one of the IDW comics. I like you showed us Shadow can work fine with light hearted/funny situation without losing his cool.

I would be interested about also how Jolt will develop, who she is. Usually I don't like Sonic fans characters, but this one caught my attention. I would like have her among sonic's friends instead of Silver, the chaotix and virtually all post Adventure series characters.

It most definitely is still ongoing! Just on hiatus as of now. The next update's very slow-going but I've been tinkering with it in its digital drafts.

Wow, thank you so much for your kind comments! Shadow is such a great character and it was important that his best traits are captured as accurately as I could make them.

Cool characters with reserved, straight-man personalities work well in comedy where silliness happens TO them rather than them intentionally causing it. It doesn't mean they have to be completely humorless though. Shadow's capable of cracking a sarcastic quip here and there or doing something funny at the expense of an enemy (kicking Infinite's teeth in for example). He's just not an enthusiastic, jovial type like Sonic.

It's a big relief that you noticed the nuances I'm attempting to carefully weave in. It's not perfect and there's always room for improvement but it's nice to know that the effort is appreciated. And I'm so happy that you look forward to more of Jolt! Sincerely hope the story is worth the wait for everyone invested in seeing her grow. Thank you again. <3

Gosh, there are so many characters I want to draw Jolt meeting. You are all so patient and I truly truly feel blessed having such an amazing audience. U_U

Must be funny if li xiangyi was actually a restless sleeper. Like someone who can spun clokwise while asleep and wake up in the different side of the bed. He looks like that kind of person.

#imagine the insomnia he put dfs in #the light sleeper who jolt awake with the slightest movement or sound #sharing a bed with someone who change position twenty times a night while blissfully asleep #now add fdb ten years later #a cuddly sleeper #sleep time can never be more interesting #perhaps dfs will trained himself to navigate the chaotic battlefield of their bed #eventually but before that he will have another frustrating insomnia phase #mysterious lotus casebook #di feisheng #li lianhua #fang duobing #rambles

There must be something so categorically wrong with me lmao

#mfw you start having a nightmare and pause while still asleep and deliberately make it significantly worse on purpose and scare yourself #enough that instead of jumping clear through a window in the dream you jolt awake #but entirely because you think the plot is better that way #red rambles #i desperately need to go write this now

got tagged in a tag game by @dykedragonrider!!

Last song I listened to: puppet cafe（ぱぺっとかふぇ）by maria marionette! obsessed w it rn. it's so cute. dokidoki happy fluffy idol song

Currently Watching: imagine being able to pay attention enough to actually watch things lol lmao. anyway, i was watching a project diva vod before i left to study? (hoping that counts. i'm really not watching anything else atm. i was literally about to watch videos on japanese grammar before i saw this, but that counts even less imo)

Sweet/Savory/Spicy: i love sweet flavours!!! sweets are my favourite ever. bad with any other flavour combo (eg. savoury, spicy, sour, bitter) except salty tho. i do have a pretty good spice tolerance and love spicy foods too. imo it's sweet >>>>>>> spicy > savoury but i like all three

Relationship status: single (if any of y'all wanna take your shot, go ahead :flushed emoji:, half joking)

Current Obsession: tomodachi life. i own a na cart, but i've been playing it in french (eu version) and japanese (jp version) on my pc. not playing the eu version on hardware because i have an english 3ds (unwilling to change the ui to french, the eu version matches the system language). not playing the jp version on hardware because i'm learning from it. i've been playing this shit every single day i swear to god

When it comes to designing fan characters, do you like to stay within the confines of what people consider to be “acceptable” for certain aspects, like powers/abilities, specie choice, overall design, incorporating certain ties and affiliates to official characters, etc? I guess the “unspoken rules” when it comes to making a “proper” oc that fits the overall spirit and lore, rather than an “oc in sonic style” that “doesn’t fit”. Do you think that taking a leap of faith to originality is bad?

This is a thoughtful question Anon, but I find it concerning that there's an insinuation how wanting to be held to any kind of standard is "bad" for originality. In my experience, this is not always the case.

Having self-imposed restrictions can seem unnecessary if your goal for creating is to not think hard about expectations and instead, purely for self-expression. There are no hard rules for how to make fanart. If you want to add a ton of accessories on fan characters, use every color under the rainbow or construct one in a way that breaks the Sonic standard, it's your choice! What's gained from making characters for the joy of it and without the weight of "perceived expectations" looming over you is a reward in of itself.

With that aside, what really matters is what your ultimate goal is with your fan characters. Because when people ask for my insights on designing one, what I believe most are REALLY searching for is a way to get an audience to CARE.

This is a much deeper conversation beyond whether or not your character is "original" and "breaking the rules". Now you're entering uncharted territory where it's no longer about what only YOU want out of your creations. You HAVE to now consider how OTHERS will perceive them and make intentional design choices that gets the audience and reactions you WANT.

Jolt and Strike's Crew were created in the frame of mind that they would be used for a full story line. The ultimate goal is to create an engaging comic that both appeals to my own interest in this series while still drawing in an audience. And of course, this causes me to have to consider what makes a character bring an audience in and KEEP them. It ultimately defines what kind of character it will be!

Having a standard to measure your creations against isn't a hamper on originality. In fact, by HAVING restrictions, you're challenged to think OUTSIDE of the box and find an elegant solution that can be novel but still fit. Not all good ideas are born from having NO obstacles in our way; rarely does it work like that.

When starting Shadow and Jolt, I had zero clue on how to actually make a likeable character. I knew theories, I had read about it and made fan art of established characters that people already liked.

BUT I had never put it into practice from scratch. I had to learn as I went and made a ton of mistakes until the right solution became apparent!

This is a long answer but basically Anon, what is your intention? Do you just want to create for the sake of it,

or are you creating to be seen and have others engage with your work like that of an Author with an audience of Readers? Do you want to BUILD an audience that likes your fan-characters, wants to learn more about them and is EXCITED to see more of them?

That's the real question to reflect on. And it may require asking yourself if you even know what it means to achieve such a goal.

Because believe me, it's not easy. It took YEARS to build what I have now. But, it's also extremely rewarding and for me, worth all those extra late nights spent working diligently to make it happen.

I hope this helps anon. I get that this may not seem like a very fun answer. It's not always fun to create for an audience. Sometimes it's very hard! But if you love it enough and you are open to knowing what you don't know, you can find joy in a healthy challenge. This project is still just as fun for me to do as it was 6 years ago when it began. And I wouldn't change it one bit. :)

was talking abt this w someone a while ago but I really do love surrounding myself with stuff I love. a little in a materialistic way but also there’s a safety talisman keychain I got myself to help with feeling anxious when driving and whenever I freak out I just grab it and then go like ‘wow the leather is nice :) high quality :) the imprinted gold design is quite arresting :)’ I want things I care about yknow

#my ramblings #still at parent’s home house sitting and I miss grandma kettle #mom’s pourover kettle is nice I guess but seeing it doesn’t zap my brain with a jolt of affection #also I use the steamer I got practically every day but I probably wouldn’t have gotten it if it wasn’t that nice light green color #I deliberated over the earrings for two weeks but looking at them I get very :) #I’m obsessed with them actually.

[outeremissary]

If you have tagged me in something or sent an ask/request in the past. Say. Three months and gotten no answer. Know that I am probably working on it but also forgot it wasn't from literally yesterday because my sense of time is deeply broken.

#the Picrew thing I was tagged in... I keep jolting up in bed realizing “it's been WEEKS” #I just. need to redo a little art for it. #writing things it's sadly just always roulette how long I take :') #rambling #I do have a master list of everything I need to finish I just also think as soon as I finish a recent thing on it “wow I did so good” #and briefly forget everything. whoops. #one thing on it is from February... I'm so sorry
