Thank you!   And like I've said before, I can never thank you enough for the opportunity to contribute to your graphic novel, and the end result looks great; the fact you managed to do so that quickly is even more impressive! Your artwork, as well as the contributing artists' work, looks fantastic!  I had mentioned to Dawn about your project and told her that I was planning on doing a piece of fan art to submit to possibly be included in the fan art section; that's when she mentioned her and I doing something together and it was a great experience!

I should have thought about this earlier; my dad works in the screen-printing industry, selling chemicals, mesh, equipment, etc. to companies like Sony and Reebok. He knows plenty of companies who can print and put everything into the correct format and they'd be willing to do something like that for free. If you do have another project like this, please don't hesitate to ask and we would be able to get everything printed out (in proper format, just as you did with this graphic novel) for free . If not, that is perfectly fine as well; when talking with my parents, my mom mentioned that and we wanted to at least offer that to you.

Bobby,

Thanks for giving me insight as to how it all came together for you two. = ) I'm super glad you took the initiative and Dawn followed up after that. ^^

Oh my goodness, that is too generous of an offer, please inform your parents that the gesture is much appreciated and I will think about it for the future. But for now there is nothing that needs to be printed and I have a general idea of how the printing business works too since I ran through a few of my own experiences with printers back home in Australia and graphic designers for pre-production related issues for print. *thumbs up*

I definitely will   And at any time if I can help you in any way, just message me and I would be more than happy to!

BTW been enjoying all of your recent artwork (especially your Sonic Boom stuff; I'm not sure what to think of the show and the game itself, but I've been REALLY enjoying your art and the beginning part of your "Unwrapped" comic). And while I know I'm a few days early, I want to wish you a very happy birthday! I hope you have a great day!

Thankyou! I am glad to hear that you had a great time.  


Oh, mine was wonderful as well! My little cousins settled a small Christmas play, they looked so cute! And the food was great ugh I want more! Still, it was tiring. I suck at sleeping really late! 


Oh! And on Christmas morning my brother a FREAKING WII U! Gods, know I just need to save money for Lost World and Sochi.


And also, as a Christmas present for myself I bought a Wacom tablet

bobbyhardyart In reply to MaRiaMonicaGL [2014-01-04 08:40:48 +0000 UTC]

LOL I know what you mean; it's almost more tiring during the holidays, as you want to stay up late and get up early every day. So glad to hear you had a good holiday

Man that's so awesome!!!   SO happy you have a Wii U!!!!  I very much enjoy Sochi, but I'd definitely recommend Lost World first; I got it for Christmas, and love it!   I can understand some of the critique, and it is frustrating as there are simple things Sega could've added to boost the critics score to at least a 7/10. But now that Sega's updated it (made Wisps controllable using buttons instead of only the gyro sensor and motion controls , made it so that you earn a life for every 100 rings, etc) it's improved even further. It's actually a bit challenging too! It's such an awesome game, can;t wait for you to play it sometime!   It looks beautiful and runs so smooth; the game play itself has so much promise looking ahead. And, I'm sure you know this already, but the FREAKIN YOSHI ISLAND DLC!!!!! XD It's so awesome; and I can't wait for the next downloadable level, as apparently it's a Legend of Zelda Level!!!   I'd obviously recommend LW first and foremost for WiiU, as you're a huge Sonic fan. But Mario 3D World is one of the best games I have ever played; I highly recommend it after Lost World

And that's so awesome about the tablet!   Have you tried it out? Ho do you like it?  Very excited to see future artwork from you now that you have one!

MaRiaMonicaGL In reply to bobbyhardyart [2014-01-04 23:59:56 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I just came from a trip to the States and I actually got Lost World, Super Mario 3D, and Sochi.  


And I had not even read your message, plain coincidence I swear! 


Oh, it is wonderful way easier than on my iPad. I have had on,y time to sketch and doodle with it but hopefully I'll start posting real artwork soon! 


Oh and hey, did heard of the prank played that made the Sonic Fandom wake from its sleep?  


Apparently a "storyboard artist" gave details about the upsoming Sonic Boom series.



"Hello, I am a storyboard artist working on the upcoming show Sonic Boom. 
Because I know some of you are interested in that program today I will share some small factoids about the show. 

Obviously, because this is all still subject to nondisclosure agreements, I won’t provide any evidence that could reveal who I am or lift a finger to prove what I say is true, fair warning, but if you’re still interested you can save this post and wait until March for the public reveal to compare. 



For starters, Sonic Boom is essentially a relaunch of the Sonic franchise, a full reboot that SEGA intends to become the definitive version. All designs, character changes and plot devices are directions that come directly from them. The controversial Knuckles redesign? That’s all SEGA.

None of the previous games are canon, except the upcoming Wii U/3DS game. 
Let me emphasize, I know basically nothing about the next Wii U game, so don’t bother asking about it, except that it will reveal the new origin story for Sonic and takes place before the events of this cartoon.

The premise of the show is about Sonic battling Eggman through time. Each episode Sonic and friends will travel to new locations and time periods to combat the mischief Eggman has caused in his attempts to rewrite history so he inherits the world. Eggman comes from the bad future, and Sonic comes from the good future.

The Cast 

Sonic, the hero of the story, loves chilidogs, faster than a speeding train, not very smart but he doesn’t need to be, he’s cool but also kind of a dork. His Marty McFly redesign is no accident; he even has a hoverboard for water. 

Tails, the smart one, engineer and pilot. Can drive any sort of vehicle. Best friend of Sonic and plays the bagpipes. Tails would prefer to be at home watching sci-fi movies than adventuring, but he begrudgingly comes along for the ride when people are in need. Wears lab equipment all the time.

Amy, sports captain, perfect student, and Sonic’s proclaimed girlfriend. The daughter of a rich car magnate, Amy uses up cars like tissue paper in her pursuit of Sonic. Still hangs out with everybody like part of the gang. Considers any time she gets to help stop Eggman with Sonic “dates”.
Wears a retro inspired outfit, no hammer. 

Knuckles, the most mellow and spiritual of the group, unless you manage to tick him off, then he’s out of control. Very trusting and gullible, will often be fooled by disguises nobody else would fall for. Guardian of the Master Emerald, the main time portal, honestly not very good at his job, but he tries. 
Wears bandages on his knuckles and skinny jeans. 

Eggman, he’s always travelling through time to steal ancient artefacts like some sort of fat, bald Carmen Sandiego. Hates Sonic with a passion, but will sometimes work with the blue blur when his plans go out of control. His lair is in a rundown themepark, Eggmanland, and beyond his dream of ruling the world, he wishes to be ringmaster at the circus. 
Wears a retro inspired outfit, with current Eggman proportions, except he is much taller with long lanky limbs.

Metal Sonic, originally Eggman’s finest creation, Metal gained independence and freedom after Tails reprogrammed him. Then he’s Sonic’s main rival for the series, and a sort of anti-hero. His main objective is proving he is better than Sonic, in speed races, saving people or even a burping contest. 
Wears, nothing. He’s metal and blue like Sonic.

Shadow and Rouge
Eggman’s bumbling henchmen. These two are snarky, sarcastic, lazy, deceitful, devious, greedy and often bear the brunt of the pain when Eggman’s plans inevitably go wrong. 
Rouge is the brains of the operation, and often likes to make alterations to the plan if she sees something worth stealing for herself.
Shadow is the muscle of the operation; he can almost go toe to toe with Sonic if he tries, which is never. Shadow prefers to give the least effort possible. 
Wears, Rouge wears a pink toob top with purple sweatpants, she has blue wings.
Shadow wears an open red Hawaiian flower print shirt, he has sunglasses on all the time.

Silver, starts as the annoying bratty neighbour of Sonic who always wants to hang out in their group. After he successfully pesters Sonic into taking him on an adventure one time to stop Eggman, Silver betrays Sonic to gain ancient psychic powers. As a villain, Silver is basically just a bully, he wants to get even with Sonic for humiliating him, but he’s not adverse to stealing things for personal gain. Perpetually eating.
Wears, nothing but a large black belt with golden buckle and matching boots. Has a significant proportion change, very large and fat.

Blaze, a princess from a foreign land, she’s living in Amy’s mansion as an exchange student. Somewhat shy and awkward, Blaze is not sure what to make of all the crazy occurrences that happen around Sonic, but it’s much more interesting than princess life back home. She has the innate ability to control fire with her hands, and always keeps an oil lantern on her person. 
Wears a purple scarf and fluffy ushanka. Long sleeve shirt with armless vest over the top. Purple skirt and high heel shoes. 

-The Chaotix, feat Vector, Espio and Fang
A group of criminal antagonists who aren’t all bad. They work for whoever has the most coin, which is usually Eggman. 
Vector is the leader of the gang, he pretends to be a tough guy, but secretly he wants to be a dancer. Perpetually broke, he owes money to everyone in town. 
Espio is a ninja who travelled from the past and had his life saved by Vector, who he now serves to pay his debt. He’s not very fond of criminal activity, but goes along with it, so long as no innocents get hurt. He is constantly astounded by the technological advancements of the future.
Fang is the most rotten of the group; he’s quick to turn traitor when things get sour and the only reason the others keep him around is because he’s good at what he does and very good a grovelling. 
Wears, Vector wears a leather jacket and gold chains around his neck.
Espio, nothing but shoes and gloves.
Fang, wears a wide brim hat and bandana over his mouth, wears a brown belt and spurs on his shoes. 

Evil Sonic
Hailing from the Bad Future, Evil Sonic is what it says on the tin. A loose canon, he still will occasionally work for Eggman if their goals are the same. Hates his goody two-shoes distaff with a passion, will go to elaborate ploys to ruin his image, such as impersonating him.
Wears, the same as Sonic, but in inverted colors. His fur is a slightly darker shade of blue."




Of course, it is all fake, but it is hilarious to read.

Oh man, I'm so excited for you to play those games! I'm excited to hear what you think of all of them, but especially Mario 3D World; it's seriously one of my all time favorite games, up there with Mario Galaxy and Mario 64 for me

And OMG, that was hilarious to read I had no clue about that happening! Plus I can't believe certain people fell for it . I mean really Evil Sonic??? Lol thanks for sharing that! Though I do wish the part about Fang coming back were true, maybe not in the tV show specifically, but in general. He's such an awesome character, don't know why Sega won't bring him back.

As a good friend/mentor told me, the only time your artwork will become stale is when don't think that there's any room for improvement (she worded it much better than I ever could lol)
