Description When I first started drawing in grade school, I would always randomly doodle characters from Sonic. My drawings were so bad back then, I can't bear to look at them!-.-' My sis was reading some of my old Sonic comics that I used to collect, and it really brought back some old memories, especially since she is now the age that I was when I first got into that stuff! Wierd, huh? I feel old. TT.TT

Anyway, as you can obviously tell, I was feeling nostalgic, so I decided to draw something that I hadn't in a long while. Team Chaotix is so awesome! By far the best characters in the Sonic series. Though Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and the gang are all pretty cool, it was actually Team Chaotix on Sonic Heroes that made me really like the series. The way that all of their personalities clashed led to some of the most entertaining moments in the series!

This is one of several pictures that I have been doing using an experimental inking/lineart style that I am developing, so tell me what you think of it! It's the second that I have posted using this style, "Autonomous Daydream" being the first of mine like this. Also, the way I ripped up the edges of the paper to give it an aged look was intentional. Does it look wierd? Please tell me what you think! Enjoy!

Thanks! I think I am going into a Media Arts course when I go to college, so I will do art professonally some day! (Hopefully...) As for the art, I have about seven or eight pages of gallery stuff that I have posted over the years. (Though some of it is VERY old and bad, just to warn you ahead.) As for why it took so long to reply, my computer got a really bad virus from here and I was afraid to use this again. Glad you are a fan of my art!

AnimalCrossingJenny In reply to MissPeridot [2011-05-01 14:03:58 +0000 UTC]

Awesome! I bet you'd get an easy scholarship for Media Arts! I used to want to do art professinally too, but then I eventually grew a strong love for cooking (It's practicaly my dream to become a chef )n

I'll still check out your gallary, I bet it's anything better I did in the past years heheh.

I understand virus problems. I used to play computer games and they crashed my computer 3 weeks ago

I'm happy to be a fan of your art... I cant stop complimenting it (Like right now!)

Oh, my sister loves cooking too! It's awesome that you like cooking! What type of stuff are you into making? My sis likes to make cake and cupcakes.

Thank you so much for all the nice comments and support! I will definitely keep an eye on your work, I love encouraging other artsists in any way I can! Don't stop drawing, okay? You have lots of potential!

Oh, I am doing good! Sorry I haven't spoken in a while! I have been so busy trying to finish up my final projects for the school year. Thankfully, though, I get out in a week, and I am on here a LOT more in the summer and have more time to draw new pictures. I have so many drawings piled up that I need to post. -.-' There's one in specific that I did of Sapphira from Eragon that I can't wait to show you! How are you doing?

AnimalCrossingJenny In reply to MissPeridot [2011-05-22 03:20:56 +0000 UTC]

That's okay,I understand! I've been busy with school too(sadly I wont be out of school until the end of June, but I'm glad you have more time for fun.) I cant wait to see more drawings from you!

I've been fine,thank you for asking! I got to go to a party today and it was fun hanging with some people (who were my age for once.They saw my artwork for the comic series I'm making and they loved my it!

I've been so happy today! AND I'm glad that I got to hear from you again...

No prob, I will try to be on here as much as I can, but lately, I have been getting some bad computer viruses from here. It's awful! I will try to be on here as much as I can, but what has happened has made me wary of logging on. So, I assume the party went well, then? It always feels great when people respond like that to your pictures. I know hoe it feels! Hearing from you makes me feel so happy too! Oh, and I might be selling prints at a local cafe in town soon! It's exciting!

AnimalCrossingJenny In reply to MissPeridot [2011-06-03 01:53:40 +0000 UTC]

Ohhh sorry to hear about your computer, the same thing happened to mine too but my mom fixed it, hopefully yours will be better

The party went great, the kids there were related to my mom's friends so thats how we met.

I get real happy when a person supports my art, and just today the same thing happened. I was just randomly drawing Emmie (the character I mentiened before) and a girl at my school said, "OMG that's so cute!"

It made my day. And I'm happy to hear from you too!

Congrats for being able to seel prints! Your art must be getting more and more popular and Im so happy for you!

MissPeridot In reply to AnimalCrossingJenny [2011-06-09 18:40:47 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, my mom fixed it too... all three-four-ish tims... TT.TT Most kids complain that their parents don't understand computers, but my mom and dad know more about computers than I probably ever will. -.- Isn't art support and encouragement like that great! It's why I like DA so much! Also, I am so happy I met you! Thank you for such nice comments, it really makes my day! I am glad that you are getting such great encouragement from others, I can tell you really work hard on your art, so you deserve attention for all of the great work you put in! You just keep getting better and better! Keep it up, I love your drawings!

AnimalCrossingJenny In reply to MissPeridot [2011-06-12 19:07:47 +0000 UTC]

Well... maybe atleast some adults can fix computers... I guess kids say that because they probably dont see their parents on the internet much...

I'd like to thank you for the same thing Thank you for recognizing my artwork, it makes my day. Another thing is, thank you for all the encouragement.

You know? You kinda feel like a sister to me.
I guess I say that considering I dont see me sisters much but I'm glad that atleast I still see them and there are still kind people I hear from...

Oh, no problem! I feel that way too! I am really close with my little sis (she's 11), so I guess I try to treat people with the same type of kindness. Thank you for not giving up on your art! That may sound wierd, but I know we all get points as artists where we feel like we want to give up for whatever reason. By the by, this is an odd question, but when/how did you get into drawing and what grade are you in now? It's a wierd question that you don't have to answer, I always ask other artists this.

AnimalCrossingJenny In reply to MissPeridot [2011-06-17 17:55:52 +0000 UTC]

That's really kind of you to do, it shows your a really good person.

Yeah I understand what you mean... there's always an idea that pops into my head and it stays there, then a month or 2 later I give up on the idea (I'm kinda reffering to that Angelic Manner story I wanted to make D: )

Oh and that's okay, the question doesnt seem odd at all, but my story of how I became an artist is really long:

I got into art when I was just 11 years old. I used to go on a website called Animal Crossing Coummunity and used to have friends thier online that talked about anime. I never knew what they were talking about until I learned about it online. I began to growan obsession with drawing it, and I started practice for a year and a half.

Oh and I'm in 6th, but next year I'll be in 7th.

MissPeridot In reply to AnimalCrossingJenny [2011-06-22 17:05:53 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah, I remember Animal Crossing Community! I used to go on there and look up different things about the game back in the good ol' days when Animal Crossing was only on the gamecube! ^v^ You are only in 6th grade? You are much better at drawing manga than I was at that age! I started drawing manga in the 5th grade. The Kingdom Hearts series was what got me into manga/anime art, once I saw the ending to the first game I was super inspired and wanted to draw as good as the guy that did the art for that game. I'm going to be a senior in high school when school starts up this fall. So... about 7 years of drawing. That is my very lengthy story. Seriously, though, I should post some of my early pictures and show you how much better you are at it than how I was in middle school.

AnimalCrossingJenny In reply to MissPeridot [2011-06-23 19:23:22 +0000 UTC]

Yeah... I remember good times on ACC as well (before COPPA came along, its a long story)

Really? That's hard to believe. I was pretty sure you'd be way more advance at drawing then I could ever be at this age.
I'm really inspired by the fact you've been drawing for 7 years. It makes me happy to know that because if I can continue to draw as long as you... then maybe I could draw as fantastic as you do today!

You dont need to compare our drawings... your already better than me so there's no need. Even if your drawing from childhood arent as good as you draw today, you still worked hard at it so if we think about that. Your detirmination already proved you were better then me. And I'm okay with that

MissPeridot In reply to AnimalCrossingJenny [2011-07-06 19:37:17 +0000 UTC]

Okay, but I would really like to post some of my old stuff just to show you! Your art style is identical to what mie was at the time, it's scary-awesome simillar. I will get out my old sketchbooks from middle school and scan some pictures sometime to show you! I didn't used to have much motivation either. It wasn't until last summer that I started to get really dedicated to my work. I think it was all the copic markers I got that year, they're kind of addicting to color with. So, by all means, keep on drawing! It's a really rewarding hobby for sure!

Hahahaha, thats such a coincedence... or maybe we're connected with our art skills in some way. If that's the case, by the time I'm your age, I may be just as skilled as you !!!

I really wanna see your drawings from middle school, plzz post them (although I wont be pushy and rush you )

That's okay, I realized dedication takes time. I'm trying not to give up on my series and its very difficult to plan, but I'm sticking with it!
And thank you for being so supportive!

I support you, and I'm glad that you continue to draw too

Thanks! I will totally post some of them! I was actually thinking of redrawing one of my old pics to compare with how one improves over the years. It's kind of nostalgic to look back on my old sketches too in spite of quality.

AnimalCrossingJenny In reply to MissPeridot [2011-07-12 21:43:09 +0000 UTC]

That would be so cool to do a comparison of your art over time. You should really redraw it, I bet it'd blow my mind to see how awesome it looks, hehe...

Even though I havent been drawing such a long time, I can still see I improved.

I actually am working on a retrospective right now that covers my old art from 6th-freshman year. My sis and I were looking at old sketchbooks, and it's both wierd and nostalgic to see how different my old stuff was.

Ah, past drawings! Isn't it wierd to look at stuff like that and remember when you drew it, but realize how long ago it was! I noticed the same thing like that often happens when looking at photos of old vacations. In kindergarten, I remember we made drawings which they then turned into graphics on plates so that our family could have them as a keepsake. We still have mine too: two, very creepy doodles of pink unicorns! >.<
