Request Backlog:

(Tumblr Requests that I want to complete before taking on any new requests)


※Varian hiding under a bed from a serial killer (one that I might post next)

※Many Tangled characters as babies sleeping (I colored two characters)

※Baby Varian asking to be picked up

※Tall VarianxHugo (I am considering it because I am curious to see how Hugo would look if I drew him).

※LancexEugene (because it upsets me that I've only found one LancexEugene picture. (The picture I found is gorgeous though, but that pairing is WAY underappreciated. Nobody asked me to make it, this is something I want).

※Baby Angry and Red pulling down curtains (sketched)

※Baby Lance laying on his back reaching for a mobile (animated request)

※ Baby Lance and Baby Eugene hugging

※ Baby Lance learning how to walk

※Baby Varian crawling (sketched)

※Baby Varian saying hi. (sketched)

※A terrified Varian in a black rock cage (sketched, but not scanned)

※Rapunzel and friends rescuing Varian from the King's and Nigel's violent torture (Kind of sketched)

My Bio

If you are here because YouTube brought you here, I will say that I have no plans on making new Sonic and Tails pictures, but you never know when I might find an idea interesting.

If you seek Tails comic (Or "Sontails Confession" according to the Art Mobius site), you can click the link to the story. The comic is complete now.

--- If you'd like to use my art as fanfiction covers (I've found some already on Wattpad), please link me your story, so I may enjoy it too. :D I don't write fanfiction, but I certainly do enjoy reading it.


If, for whatever reason, you think of me as a muse and want to use my art as a mural, do that at your risk. If I were to one day find my art plastered on any kind of wall, it would put a smile on my face.


---


Regarding requests, I will only take your idea if I'm interested. However, even if I like your idea, it's going to take forever because I am a busy person with no concept of time management. If you ask for Tangled or Pokémon fanart, my answer will most likely be yes. Other fanart, I will make only if I am familiar with the show. I also favor yaoi and yuri ships, so I will more likely say yes to those requests as well.


FAQ:


Where are you from?


-United States


Where are you from from?


-The United States of America


Where are you really from?


-The U.S.


Where are you from originally?


-Still the United States


What's your nationality?


(Looks at passport) United States of America.


Where are your parents from?


Fine, you got me. They're from EEUU. Have I answered your questions satisfactorily?


Also a popular question (though usually not directly asked of me to answer): Why does this picture exist?


Most of the time, the answer is simple: I wanted it to exist. It goes like this: I listen to a song, feel greatly inspired, then put the idea to paper. Sometimes I want to see something, but nobody has drawn it yet, so I take it upon myself to do it. If I want to see something, but cannot find it, then I'll be drawing it.


...And sometimes the picture exists because someone requested it and I either want to bring it into existence or I simply don't mind making it exist. I might also be inspired by online chats to draw something too. I guess there is lots of reasons why my art exists.

I have been posting more requests lately, so I can see why the confusion is happening. However, a lot of them are old requests that I just so happen to feel like coloring. The only new request I've done is the Sontails Victory picture and I drew that one because I wanted to see Sonic and Tails would look if I drew them in my current style from scratch. Right now, I am busy working on pictures that I want to see colored whether they are old requests or pictures that I voluntarily drew but didn't have to patience to color before. I am also focusing on improving my Chinese and Spanish since it's something that I'd feel comfortable getting paid for. Requests are nice when I have time for myself and like the idea, but I neither get paid for them nor will I ask you to pay me. Since I don't expect payment, I might still hear out your idea, but I will only take your request if I am interested in it too. When I finish reading the million Chinese books I bought from Taiwan, I'll consider

I'm so popular that several artists want to put my art on a mural. I can only hope these aspiring artists won't get their social security numbers suspended for subjecting the public to my works.

I decided to check out the DeviantArt AI controversy after it was over. Fortunately, DeviantArt decided to have users' art opted out of potential images for AI use. It's a good thing too because I am too lazy to opt out my images and would've been amused if someone got mad at AI for generating a Sontails picture just because I didn't bother to opt out. However, I don't think anything can be done about the images already opted into the database, so it is still very possible that works uploaded before the change have already been used by AI. I have mixed feelings on AI. AI images shouldn't be accepted as contest entries because it undermines the work that the other contests have put into their art. I don't think AI gives the user much control over the result of the final result of the image either. Furthermore, I was shocked to find out that copyrighted images were used to feed the AI database. I don't know why I expected it to generate an image from scratch. 😅 However, I don't really

Ya just got a new watcher.


Congratulations on lé milestone

No worries lad. I do enjoy your Sonic art as although I’m not a shipper anymore, I respect your views.


If you ever returned to making comics, they would look cool in your art style.

Thank you for the fav on Childhood Memories.


What did you like about it? And is there anyway I can improve on it.

There isn't anything that I can think of on how to improve it. I have no idea who Sticks and Zooey are, so their images don't come to my imagination. That's on me for not keeping up with Sonic.


There was a part where Zooey was "feeling nervous about something" and it flew over my head until I read your author's note telling the readers in no uncertain terms that you were not going to talk about it. Without the author's note, I would've thought that it was something more innocuous (I have been told that I am stupid when it comes to things like that, so what do I know).


I think it would have been better to leave out the author's note because it caused a minor disruption in the flow of the story. If readers making NSFW requests is that much of a problem for you, then state that in your profile or at the bottom of your description of the story.


Another choice would be to have had Zooey nervous about something else to avoid the issue entirely and maintain the flow of the story. Since her issue gets ultimately pushed to the side, picking another issue that Sonic and Tails would've found uninteresting would achieve the same effect.


Didn't mean to dwell on that part. It just stood out to me. I do understand that viewers can be frustrating though.

Well, what happened was that Tails would have been left angry for another reason. It refers to a GIF I saw of the SMG4 character Meggy Spletzer, as Tails would have came around to see Mario but he would see Meggy doing “something.” It’s not “that” but something else seductive. And he easily was left scarred, at least for a bit.


But I realised it would ruin the tone so I replaced it.


Sticks and Zooey are from Sonic Boom.


Did you like anything in the story?

I did. I enjoyed Sonic and Tails' interaction within the story and I like the way you describe your scenes. That's why I faved it.
