Recording AND Judging

Recording AND judging 😂

More Chaotix family shenanigans!

Dya think Espio ever uses his invisibility to just “nope” on out of embarrassing situations?

I’m so glad that my artwork has been able to reach you like this; it’s exactly what I was hoping for.

If I can offer even a bit of the warmth and comfort that I needed as a teenager when things got tough, then I can call myself successful. Hopefully I can continue to meet these expectations!

Thankyou; I’m so glad to hear this.

Back with the second part of “Things I would have liked to see in the metal virus arc.”

Pretty much the biggest thing: Vector acknowledging how freaking traumatic seeing him get zombified must have been for Espio…

But then, he -is- a great detective…so I figure that he probably already knows damn well what it must be like: the trick is that Espio would probably have to be the one to broach the subject.

And, of course, Espio being Espio…just wouldn’t.

It was actually a lot of fun to play around with -how- to portray Espio here; there’s a fine line one can dance between stoicism and just shutting down on yourself completely, and it was intriguing trying to capture what Espio is clearly feeling despite his best efforts to hide it.

Alternative background style of my redesign of Fleetway Amy as a barebow archery champion; I just couldn’t decide what I liked more. On the one hand, the other is more dynamic…but this one has glitter!!

Haven’t been having the best couple of weeks with my mental health, but I’m fighting through it. So here’s Sonya Blade beating my issues into a bloody pulp! (What dya mean that’s not how self care works??)

You just made my day!! I’m so touched to hear that, too! 😭 Honestly, I’ve had these little sketches brewing at the back of my mind for years, but I was always too skittish to see them through; but I’m so glad that I did because it’s some of the most fun I’ve had in ages!!

It’s nice to know I’m not alone in feeling that Espio isn’t quite so above it all. Yes, he is an undoubtedly talented and capable ninja, dedicated to his craft and proud of it…but he’s also still sixteen years old.

And I mean that in the best possible way! I would not have been this zen at sixteen!

Also, head-canon that because he’s basically the team dad/dad friend/promoted to parent, Vector hears a LOT of “Bo-oooss” being called like that whiny “Daa-aaad” noise and can do zippo about it.
