Dear SonicTubers - ALL of them, more or less, especially those such as

STOP. STEALING. ART. YOU. DON'T. OWN.
As an artist I am quite frankly disgusted by the amount of times these people use renders without permission, and sometimes, without CREDIT.
Wow Sonic Prime has so many awful so retro segments
Anyway totally unrelated here's a sprite animation I did recently, this is my first time ever doing sprite animation like this and it was also my first time using the animation software
@RicFromSSS
@sonic_show
Artists will often spend hours on a single image. The fact that these people refuse to show respect for that is baffling to me. On the rare chance that they DO credit, it's always in the bottom few lines of the description, when it should be at the very TOP.
You have official art. USE IT. If you REALLY need to use a fan render for your thumbnail, then ASK the artist first, and credit them near the TOP of your description.
I enjoy watching many of these people's content. But I know they can do better.
@Alphs20
Everything wrong with this:
1. No hue shifting, so the colors look muddy and ugly
2. zero consistency in pixel sizes
3. the gradient in the back doesn't fit at all
4. the placement of shadows and highlights are also inconsistent
5. so many fucking doubles
With all the recent discourse relating to the current Sonic model, I decided to try doing a simple edit of the Forces model to illustrate some changes I and some others would like to see made.
@bungledungle
As someone who used to work in SFM
Yeah saying that looks like SFM is stupid lmao. Lighting engine looks nothing alike.
And for people saying it's more about the movement than the lighting, you DO realize that the program doesn't change the ANMATION STYLE, right?
@E3patinoP
@ghostbunbun
It does have a very subtle green tint, it's most likely that the color has simply washed out due to being in the sun, and is gonna look more vibrant when they actually do the CGI for the movie.
@ForStickmin
@mickey_smash
Whoops, looks like someone never played past the Meta era! Try giving Black Knight or Unleashed a try and then try telling me he "just makes dad jokes".
@searing_souls
@CrazyAssNinten
No, the lyrics are "my bed". There are three versions: English censored, English explicit, and Japanese. Both the English explicit and Japanese versions have "Fuck the pain away, my bed is in ruins", but in the censored version, it's "Fight the pain away, my head is in ruins".
@Animation_Takes
As a 3D artist, the amount of people who claim that CG takes less effort or is worse or is less of an artform than 2D art is honestly disturbing.
@grace_gootee
"I have no master, except the wind that blows free!"
Lightning can certainly work, but the concept of Sonic associated with wind perfectly encapsulates his sense of freedom to me.

Side by side comparison - check
Stolen fanart - check
Years are shown - check
Way more views than it deserves and way more views than the fanart it stole - check
@ejeel2275
@semifreqsonic
except barely any of the SA1 glitches happen in casual playthroughs; only if you're playing the DX version, which was a completely botched port that made the game worse in several aspects.
@implywood
@Armand_Gman
Did you not do True Pacifist? Like, the neutral run has a pretty weak ending, but that's the point. It isn't the game's true ending, it's meant to feel a bit empty and bittersweet. True Pacifist on the other hand has an amazing finale and ending thar wraps up the story perfectly.
@ALittleSliceof7
@jessiejuwono
You gave very little context and went as far as to say the second was "Calgarbage" (Which I assume is a nod at the "cal arts style") So I had little reason to assume anything aside from you finding the second one bad due to it being more stylized.
@sonicsta_
Some people won't stop bitching, but nah, this is awesome, beautiful looking game here, new modes, cool customization, literally a new wisp, and the graphics - people are gonna hate me for saying this but - the graphics are honestly comparable to Unleashed. Yeah I said it.
@koug99
Great art, love these designs, but they all feel a bit too... busy. One of the best part of the designs of Sonic characters is how they look so dynamic while also being so simple, having an instantly recognizable silhouette. Your art overcomplicates the designs way too much.
@TheMrPasquale
I think Classic CAN look good in light blue... but not the cyan they use officially. Just normal blue with lighter tones looks really nice on Classic imo
@surli
Ah, I see. You're the "any form of criticism that might help people out = being an asshole" type. News flash: Offering to help out other artists doesn't mean I'm being an asshole. You are by speaking for the artist as though you can read their mind and know everything about them.
@Sakura_Gracie
You know... I see a lot of people, mostly Archie fans, who try to claim the IDW comics are bad because they don't have any substance. Because they lack good stories you can get attached to.
This shows me they couldn't be any more wrong.
@DPlexHD
seriously why did they remove the eye-muzzle flow? It's such a detriment to the character design as a whole when missing despite being such a tiny thing.
@MiltFire108
@Diddy_Kong33
The problem isn't a lack of seriousness, the problem is a lack of taking ITSELF seriously. The franchise treated itself as a joke, making fun of it so critics didn't have to, and playing it insanely safe in terms of everything just to please critics and reviewers.
@sonicsta_
Consistency.
If there's one thing this franchise has never had after the adventure era, it's consistency.
There's no consistency in gameplay, in visual styles, in character writing, in lore and plot, in locations, there is just no consistency whatsoever, and it's so annoying.
@RicFromSSS
In all honesty, I... don't really care. I mean don't get me wrong, seeing Adventure remakes would be awesome, but like, I'd prefer if we didn't get remakes of old games and instead we're able to get a new game with a similar formula.
@sonic_show
@RicFromSSS
Ok, admittedly you're definitely better about it than others; the @ was unnecessary, so my bad. This is just generally something I'm peeved about seeing so frequently.
@exoboi2007
@HomeAloneMeme
"I honestly never really got the point of black history month like your black cool for you who gives shit in the end lol"
Yeah that's basically the same as what you're saying
@ebonyleoaprd
Eventually, conservatives started essentially using the word to describe anything they don't like (usually anything remotely related to POC and LGBTQ+). It went from a word used by minorities to empower, to a word used by anyone who didn't like said minorities to belittle them.
