“Meeting Shadow” ⚫🔵🟡🔴

Instead of the traditional Sketch Dump, this time I chose to draw a full mini comic about how Team Sonic's first encounter with Shadow could be.

This was also an excuse to feature one of Ben Schwartz' catchphrases “Hachi Machi”. I remember reading somewhere that he had been wanting to feature that in one of the Sonic movies, since he had said that phrase as Randy Cunningham and ROTTMNT Leonardo when voicing them. Also, try to picture that scene of Sonic in slow motion, hehehe 😜

The fact that if someone posts a link to a tumblr post in a reply I cannot navigate to it using the tumblr app highlights the reason I hate apps replacing websites.

I really hate the way apps break basic interface functionality that’s been standard for decades across different web browsers, to deliver content that is fundamentally just a webpage. @staff please fix this very annoying UI issue at least

If the easiest way for me to navigate your site is to get up off the couch and get on my computer, your app design has failed miserably.

I feel like the logical implication of that last sentence is that all app design has failed miserably.

I'm not disputing the claim.

you can't win this one, apollo

youre doing a good job:)

okay you know those virtual science labs they made you do in high school?

i bet they’d have mad science versions at evil high school

You know what? I’m going to take a stab at making an evil version.

They’re basically glorified slide shows, so I should be able to do it with my current skill set

excited to see where this goes

I’ll probably use the same style that I used here for it:

IT'S HAPPENING

update: you can fuck up

fun fact: it’s basically feature complete at the moment. I just need to make all the art for it

last sneak peek I swear

about 36% done with the art and animations 🙏

My first pass on the graphics is nearly done!

I still want to add some flashy effects, as well as program in some additional text to give more context and information to make it more educational 😈

I might also spend some time doing a second pass on the graphics to re-structure some scenes and add in more hand-pixeled details, but we’ll see how exhausted I am by the time I finish the first pass

The game is now in a presentable state— I just have to wait for PayPal to finish up with its bullshit so you guys can give me tips if you’d like, and so I can offer bonus content

LET'S FUCKING GOOOO

(game is free, but you're welcome to donate! I also have some bonus content if you do)

They were just kids.

A redraw from @zhampip DTIYS and also because I love drawing her

And here’s the lovely original from @zhampip

I am drawing Maria Robotnik once again. I think it's the first time I posted her though.

to the world 🥂

Autistic Shadow supremacy

I've seen people say Eclipse is also autistic. And while I definitely agree that he is neurodivergent, I'm not sure about autistic?

Part of me like the autism come from the Black Arms and they all are (Diversity win! The evil aliens trying to destroy and conquer every planet in the universe are autistic!)

On the other hand, I kinda do like the idea of Shadow being different from them. Eclipse doesn't understand why his brother is Like That

I think Shadow is neurodivergent by both Black Arms and Earth standards. Eclipse - only on Earth.

He did have ideas different than the hivemind, but I attribute that to him being 1. Not directly part of the hivemind, and subsequently, 2. Incredibly, incredibly lonely. Not killing Shadow? Making Dark Arms? Both are things that would let him have company.

They both need therapy though.

Submitter comment: I'd like to submit this '[s]tudy of defensive behavior of a venomous snake as a new approach to understand snakebite' not for it's topic (worth studying!) but for it's insane methodology, which... well, I'll just let the researcher speak for himself:

[Q: Why did you decide to do this experiment?

A: Snake behavior has been generally neglected as a field of research, especially in Brazil. And most studies don’t examine what factors make them want to bite. If you study malaria, you can research the parasite that causes the disease—but if you don’t study the mosquito that carries it, you will never solve the problem. Up until now, the popular wisdom was that the jararaca would only attack if you touched it or stepped on it. But that was not what we found.

Q: Why did you need to be the victim?

A: The best way to do this research is to put snakes and a human together. In this case, the human was me. We put the snakes inside a ring on the floor of our lab until they got used to it, then I stepped in wearing special protective boots. I stepped close to the snake and also lightly on top of it. I didn’t put my whole weight on my foot, so I did not hurt the snakes. I tested 116 animals and stepped 30 times on every animal, totaling 40,480 steps.]

From the recent (aptly named) interview: Researcher steps on deadly vipers 40,000 times to better predict snakebites
