WHAT I HAVE TO SAY

GAAAAAAAAAWD! I finally got 'enough' time to draw my manga!!! LMAO! XD XD XD

Man it' been so long... Even if it was only a week... X_X;;

I'm still keeping up with uni and stuff so do please forgive me if my pages come out only once a week...

I thank you for your valuable patience everyone. I hope this will satisfy! ^_~

Just to note a couple of things:

1) I love how I added a personal touch to Swift... How he misses Tails so much... ;_; It's heart-warming to see Knuckles doing his job keeping his kid calm and as comfortable as possible. Rouge will follow up next.

2) I'm VERY EXCITED about the next page. ^_^ Why? It has a connection.

This connection will lead to another manga that I have planned for (after getting special inspiration from my love - AND YES! It's another manga series! I know! *is crushed by his workload... X_X* XD XD XD).

What drives me is to push the Sonic story a little further and make it a reality in future. ^_^ I want to make it my own manga and get approval from Sonic Team! (I'll do whatever I can to make it possible! XD XD XD)

Everyone's been watching Sonic X ne? Well after finally admitting to Amy he loves her, I'm going to provide an alternate story, taking place in their adulthood stages. ^_~

This made me possible link to Tails Away - Prologue Chapter which can be used as a base for the 'alternate future' of Sonic Team's Sonic universe.

(BTW I have NOT watched Sonic X ever since Episode 38... Because it's impossible to download them now... ;_;... This is okay for me still. It's better to not download it like that and view it without paying for their efforts to do the animation. ^_~)

Anyway back to the discussion on the new manga series. ^_^

It is called Healing Hearts'.

I have already explain parts of it to my love... *nuzzles her...* She's been so supportive and most kind. ^_^... ...

Oh well I hope to make the next page meaningful and clear to all of you. ^_^ To my friends, siblings and fans... Stay tuned.



STORY TIME

Swift can't take it... It's so hard for him to see his Uncle go... After all the times spent together playing, training and learning in spirit.

As his tears slowly tender down his cheeks he felt a warm hug. A tight warm hug that made him feel a little better, after all he is shaking with slight disappointment and great sadness.

Knuckles, father of Swift talked to him in his casual-cool usual way. It made him calm down a little.

Will Swift ever understand why it had to be this way...?


====================================

REPLIES

- Next few deviations time.
- Thank you all who had previously commented. Yet another splendid output from everyone!!! ^__^
- To those who are new and dev-watched me ever since I thank you greatly for your time and effort to do that. ^_^

Looks like there's someone else that should have commented earlier *SHOT*

W00t! I won! I was betting on Swift to express himself against Tails departure. Even if I forget to mention it in the previous page...
After all, it's kind of obvious. We have seen that his relation with Tails is a very close one. And in hard situations like goodbyes where close relations are tested there are times when people can't help but to show what they feel. Especially children. Anyway I'm babbling again... >_>;;

The page is great (you still remember our deal about the shading and stuff,right? ), I specially enjoy the expressions here. My favs are Tails in the first panel and Knuckles in the third. ^_^

And man, ANOTHER manga series? That makes like 4!!! O__O Woah, you should get paid! I'm looking forward to it but no rushes, ok? ^_~

NAh you're not babbling again! You're making perfect sense and I'm glad you have expressed a critical point to the page/chapter. ^_~

"The page is great (you still remember our deal about the shading and stuff,right? )"

LMAO! Of course I do, save your time big bro and comment on what you need to. Always honoured to hear from you Krusher! ^_^

Thanks for telling me which panels are you favs... I hope to continue to deliver what I can in the next page!

Yes indeed 'Healing Hearts' will make it to four series. ^_^ And hell yeah it would be cool if I can get paid or a job to support the series of mangas I've planned for future.

Okay man I gota ya, no rushes. Thanks for the tip big bro! ^_^ Keep up the brilliant work too! ^___^ *thumbs up*

I really wish I could have commented on this sooner.
Oh well, that's what I get for going on vacation. -_-

Ah, I think we can all relate to that sort of feeling.
It's always hard to see a loved one leave, but at some point we have to let go.

*pats him on the back* Don't worry little guy, Tails will be back. ^^

Great pencil work like always.

Awwwww... Poor little Swift... I can feel for him that he wants his dear Uncle to stay with him and letting go is very hard for someone that young... *Huggles him* It's very sweet for Knuckles to stay calm and comfort his boy when he's in distress. *Sniffles* Besides that heartwarming moment this is awesome! You chade so well! I'm kind of surprised it doesn't smudge or something.

I'm really interesting in Healing Heats and can't wait to see it. But don't over work yourself! *Waggles finger* Good luck if this ever does get approved by SEGA. ;3

Thank you so much for the mention of my work that hopefully it'll be approved by Sega one day. ^_^

Your awesome compliments once again inspires me to further myself drawing those mangas and comics ShadyKitten!!! SA2 Fan-Comic is next after page 5. Heh..heh.. The return of Shadow! Eh..heh..heh.. X3 Actually no it's Sonic, Tails & Amy! Yeah that's right! X_X;;

taeshilh [2004-04-02 21:23:35 +0000 UTC]

Aww ;.;!! For some reason, I actually thought Amy was going to be the one that would cry for Miles not to leave.. but Swift was my second guess xD So I was close! Hooray for incorrect assumptions ;.;! *Hit*

Anyhoo.. that's so sad! ;.; I adore the first panel in this.. the way Miles looks and stuff. It's so emotional and sad ;.; And I like the way his three hairs kinda.. don't stay in one place xD it's so common to see them hang out and point to one part.. but it looks so effective to have them kinda spread out ;.; Like a wind-thing xD

Wow.. two paragraph into this and I'm rambling about Miles' hair o.o I'm so pathetic xD *Kicked*

*Coughs* Anyhoo!.. the details on the plaaaane O.O So amazing! Very actioney-looking scene to me xD.. Despite there not being.. fighting or something. I guess it's just the turbulance of the Tornado taking off or something.. looks intense. The way the wind is making everything.. flutter looks kinda rough, hence why I thought that xD I really like the shines on the plane, too O.O

.. Intense turbulance xD I guess the Tornado really is living up to its name! *Hit*

And me = idiot. I actually didn't think the japanese writing on the 2nd panel was.. japanese xD So I read it like english and thought it was saying "Jooo.."
And I was all "What in the world? O.O; I didn't know winds made that sound!" xD *Kicked*

But yeah.. I like the little mini-panels as well ;.; And the way Cream looks xD You really made her look very mature O.O Like 14 or 15 or so xD

And the scene with Swift is so sad ;.;! For some reason, I thought the way Knuckles tried to calm him down was a little mean It's not his fault that he's overreacting over Miles' leaving ;.;.. and he's a little kid. They're obviously gonna be more sensitive to things like this xD Like when Chris spazzed out about Sonic leaving.

But it's nice that Knuckles held him back and tried to cheer him up xD I guess I'm just a softie and felt really bad for Swift.. poor little guy ;.;.. and Knuckles looked annoyed with his screaming Maybe that's why I got all pouty by it. Knuckles acting like that was for a good cause, though ^.^ So I'm not angry at it xD.. And I guess that's part of Knuckles' attitude anyway xD *Big, ganster voice* BEIN' ROUGHA' THAN THE REST OF EM'! *Kicked*

But yeah ;.; Poor Swift..

Nice page, too! ^.^ I really liked this one.. it was all saddening xD Like the final goodbye.. and it's nice to see someone actually break out and tell their feelings of how saddened they are over Miles leaving. I guess it's a little more.. honorable. Surely, Miles would feel a little happiness that he touched the life of one so personally that they'll break out of the "Goodbye ^^" mood just to cry and wish for him to stay ;.; It's really sweet in a way..

Anyhoo.. excellent job on this! ^.^ The shading is great, the expressions are great, everything's great xD Can't wait to see more! And don't worry about delaying youself when it comes to making these comics ;.; You're obviously busy with work and stuff.. so don't feel so bad and just do the things you need to do first ^.^ Don't stress yourself! They're always worth the wait in the end anyway xD

aww poor swift......
btw in episode 52 what sonic said 2 amy was blanked out. so we really don't know what he said 2 Amy. I'm not a sonamy fan but the moment was cute. But Sonic X was just the anime and they made the sonamy relationship 2 strong. but that's my opinon but i still like this page of Tails Away!

hedgie-girl [2004-04-02 17:06:09 +0000 UTC]

Aww, poor Swift, he doesn't want his uncle Tails to go. It's always hard to watch someone you care about leave, plus Swift is young, I guess he still needs to understand that it's important to Tails, and even though it's hard to let go, you gotta let them make their own choices that'll make them happy. So I mean, if you really care for someone, you would want them to be happy. Everyone else seems pretty happy for Tails, thats's nice, probably gives everyone a fuzzy feeling inside^^ ..Amy's not there? hehe, It'ed be funny if Amy popped out from the back of the car, or plane.. or whatever Tails is in x3

Cool!!...the expressions are so nicely done! You really achieved the dramatic scene of "parting with your love ones", I love how you portray Swift in the last two panels, they look really emotional and intruiging....panels are nicely set up and great speedlines on the first panel....and I like what Knuckles said to comfort Swift, it is really the "Knuckles' way" to do things ...looking forward to your new manga too!!

MilesTailsPrower-007 [2004-04-02 13:45:57 +0000 UTC]

*cringes* I know exactly how poor Swift feels. It's never easy to watch someone very important leave, even if they only walk away......

...but you can see the beginning of thrill in Tails' smile... The excitement he feels to go off on his own, with out "big bro" Sonic tagging along and watching over him. His new chance to prove he's mature and smart enough to take care of himself even far away from Sonic... I'm quite sure Sonic feels happiness for him also...

...Swift, as young as he is, likely doesn't understand the level of importance to Tails' leave. To him, Tails is a friend; someone fun to play with; someone important.... and he doesn't want that taken away. Knuckles is aware of that, I'm sure, so he needs to teach Swift to let people go at times; try not to ruin their plans or guilt them into new ones. I know he does probably feel the sting of mixed feelings as Tails leaves, possibly forever. However, he is also aware that this is Tails' new freedom and no-one has a right to take it from him.

(Now, if I could actually see Sonic's face on this page, I'd make a whole discussion on that, LOL!)


*smiles* Well, Darkspeeds, you seem to have done it again. (Tis been awhile since I called you that, ne?..) ^__^ ....


Excellent; I was sure you'd find some time for a page soon, since I could tell you were wanting to do one soon as you had some time. ^_^ ...Glad you did. I especially like the way Tails looks as he flies off, and the arrangement of the dialogue bubbles looks great ^^ I also got a good look at Cream lookin' older now... she sure is pretty, huh? X3 ...

Lovely pencil work, love; you always manage to arrange everything so it not only looks nice, but is meaningful too.

Take care; talk to you soon.... ^^



(Hehe... biggest fan as usual...) ^^
