These different versions of her is truly remarkable and I must say my fave one is the one in the bottom right corner, I just love the colour scheme to that one and how it gives her an almost god like aura

A part of me wants to think she’s not that oblivious. I think she knows what she’s doing by now especially if some people have pointed out that she has some flaws in her anatomy, back stories, and so on. If you look back at those comments, she merely thanks ‘better artists’ for their input and ignores lesser artists as she lacks an explanation to them. 
I went back through her submissions as I came upon her really late. I looked at her art and just asked myself “what happened”? (Keep in mind when I say late I mean, I saw this character, rolled my eyes, and shook my head at how bad she was—I didn’t even see the good of her). I also asked the same thing about her creator’s personality as she had more moments being a human being, but as time went on she just became repetitive—blank—like a hollow, unemotional person. All her journals lately are about how she’s either sick or broken something, which makes me think or feels she fishes for the same comments she looks for on her character and submissions. Awwwr, and I saw the pieces you did, and I think you did awesome on them! Of course, fear not—she’s this way to just about every picture given to her.
To be honest…I don’t look at them anymore.
That’s why I feel she takes criticisms so well: she only holds onto the part she likes, which is the praise. She ignores the intension of getting any better or taking from the criticism. Yup, she asks for help, gets it, but takes it nowhere, and she wonders WHY she gets lack luster comments. 
Same. I don’t think the creator is a bad person by any stretch of the word or imagination, but you know if she even does read this she won’t respond or do anything to improve. If she does, well…I hate to say it but hell must have frozen over, as she seems like this stubborn person I am trying to pull in the right direction. XD;
LOL~! Did you, eh? XD I am just glad you’re alright from whatever caused your land in the hospital. ;~; Oh, I am sure she’ll come up with something ‘fascinating’ in regards to why Sky lived through it.
Yeah, I thought the shorts were alright, and the boots are fine for a would be sexy character like Rouge the Bat (as I think that’s what she’s going for), but the top just doesn’t look great. She could have had a sleeveless, low cut top that was tied in the center with an undershirt that connected to her pants that was also low cut if she wanted to give breast emphasis with rolled up sleeves, but that’s all I can really think of for her character. The hood was an interesting add on, but it’s rarely shown in her submissions, so it feels like a waste.
I only glanced at the latest comic pages, but it feels like she is running out of ideas, so she puts these subplots in with Sky being hurt and in trouble to distract from where the main plot was heading. Hell…I forgot where the plot was heading already.
Mawwwr, thank you as well~!

Hate to say it, but I think your right. I think her creator knows what she's doing and really it's a shame. I wish sky wouldn't ignore the "lessor" artists. Anyone can see the flaws in an art piece. Doesn't matter if they don't draw at all or if they don't draw well. Just like you don't have to be a cook to know something is wrong with a dish when it's served to you. I could've seen a brighter future for sky, if her creator had taken the advice given to her, fleshed her out, and toned her down, sky would've been so much better. I know we want our characters to be "special" but there are lines you shouldn't cross in order to achieve that.
I noticed, I loved her art style so much back when she was first on DA. It was freakin' adorable, and it really did fit sonic style well. But now I just look at the newer versions of sky and can't help but get frustrated when I see how she's portraying her character now. Her anatomy problems would be an issue for some people IRL. Mostly the huge chest and tiny waist. I understand people have large breasts, and that's ok by all means, but she increases their size and decreases the size of her waist. I've seen girls trying to do this in real life with corsets and it's scary. Not only that but it badly damages their health. Damages their organs, putting their lives on the line, and causes serious back problems. In real life sky would not live long with her anatomy problems. Part of me wonders what happened with sky's creator. I talked to her before sky became an object and she was nice, at one point I considered her a possible friend. But then all of a sudden she became cold and empty and I was scared away. Part of me hopes she isn't going to become the new akaidalia. I would hate for sky's creator to go through what akai did. Though personally I don't like akai, and I think she deserved what happened because of her attitude, sky has a chance to keep that from happening if she would just listen to us. Though I didn't care about akai's OC, I think people should've focused on the creator's attitude then worry about her OC later after the artist improved on her behavior first. Thank you for saying that, it makes me feel better. 
I look at her old work for inspiration honestly. But her newest work I just.. I just can't get anything other than frustration from it. It's a good example of what not to do though, I'll say that. I can do the exact same things with her work. You know all I had to do was look at the thumbnail in my DA watch of siren, I guessed what her purpose was, and guess what? I was 100% spot on no joke and I hadn't even read the description or looked at the title. She's getting too predictable she needs to mix it up. I was so mad though, siren could've had a different look and story and that would've fixed her problem. But no, as we already know her main focus is sky so a different version of sky she shall be! PFFT!
She needs to learn that she needs to improve, that nobody's art is perfect and THAT is what critiques are for. The worst thing an artist can do for themselves is keeping themselves from progressing. If she can't then she chose the wrong hobby, it doesn't matter if she wants to do this for a hobby or not. You should always strive to improve yourself. If only she did take it, people would get so excited! She would draw more of an audience and she doesn't even realize it. Her goal is to become popular, she doesn't even realize adding more characters into her cast could draw more potential fans in. If they don't like sky they might like her new character.
Yup, hate to agree but I gotta. It's like she's a ghost, not really there anymore. If she does take it I will be more than supportive but like you said, hell will have frozen over first.
Thankfully yes, it was a hell ride but I'm out of the hot water now. Though I will be on remicade treatments my entire life but really it doesn't bother me knowing this. I see it as something to grow stronger from, grow from, learn from. It will also encourage me to really take care of myself. I will admit before this my diet was poor, but now I will take care of myself and never let myself slip again. That's what you do when life throws something hard at you that doesn't kill you, that is what I was taught growing up. Don't worry about sounding snarky, that's what I was thinking too. I can not wait to see what she's going to come up with to explain this.
I like your your idea for sky's boom outfit, the top sounds secure and I wish she would've kept the hood, mystery can be your best friend when writing stories. It intrigues and captures the audience, makes them want to keep going. But yeah, it was a waste and a sad one at that. Her boots should've been different, flat souls too that she can run and fight in. I don't know why people give fighter, runner character high heels, I have trouble just walking in them.
I can't remember either, in fact I don't know if she really had one. I think in the beginning she had an idea but not a plan. Which can be a fatal mistake when you're not good with improv. I think she's using the subplots as a way to distract her audience from realizing that.
Ooh gosh I know, they're so damn difficult. I have difficulties with the shape of their heads too. XD

Interesting seeing "Dark" Sky's hand above/behind Sora... kinda looks like Sora's her puppet... I doubt it has anything to do with Sky's Origins, but it's intriguing, nevertheless.
