Guys, guys, I have to ask. Are Sonic fans called "blues"? Or is it just HuffPo making stuff up?

Because if that's really the term ...
I don't know. I might have to take a shower or something. Ew.

Featuring some comics I like
DA's algorithm has decided that I like looking at comics, so it's been throwing all kinds of random comic pages at me. Over time, I've gotten slowly sucked into some of these, so I wanted to share them with you, too. Note: I am a newcomer to some of these and have not read all 100+ pages yet, so I'm not sure of their content ratings. First off: Legends of Amora by Alex VanArsdale It's a wonderful story with a very Don Bluth inspired look. I've been blown away just watching it unfold. The first book is finished and available on DA, so you can experience the wonderful! Next up: Caribbean Odyssey by Zavraan Zavraan is incredibly productive and their comics Aquantis and Caribbean Odyssey kept popping into my recommended. I liked the story of Odyssey, so I started following it and got more and more hooked. Something about the eyes on the sharks. Next up: Gaia: The Letter of Jael Bara by aroughcun Okay, I don't actually know what all is going on with this comic yet, but this
DA NSFW crackdown
So DA appears to be banning or suspending artists for NSFW stuff. Apparently they are being pressured by payment processors like Mastercard, according to NicheGamer. Anyway, seeing as their censor bot is already so bad at distinguishing NSFW from SFW, I'm kind of expecting my accounts to vanish. If you like my artwork, save it, because one day I may vanish. I don't really have my Sonic art posted anywhere else. Just warning you all in advance!

Art improvement advice
This comment had a really good perspective on the process of art improvement: https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/938566220/5023390480 Find something that you're passionate about drawing and build from that. Drawing doesn't have to be a chore. If you like a cartoon or a comic you can draw fan art of that. Cartoon/Anime/Cute style is not "Lesser" than a more Realistic style. You can also draw in multiple styles if you want. Don't be afraid to use references and to trace as long as you credit the original artist and don't try to claim it's "yours". Tracing can help you keep a steadier hand and get better at shapes. It's hard to remember all the details from memory, even cartoon characters, so don't shame yourself for needing a reference even if it's your 500th drawing of the character. You don't need to worry about your "signature/original art style" yet either. That will develop naturally over time, as you experiment with different references and different art styles. It's

Never heard of it but Sega does tend to leave many of us feeling a bit blue anymore, don't they? And while it's not the most cheerful or complimentary thing... Being called blue could actually be a significant improvement over too many of the other names the fans have been called - usually by other fans.
Might be more fun/accurate if we were called ringchasers or something. =F
Beyond that... *points at article* What do you think of this theory, Net-san? Sonic is some kind of encoded tribute to Michael Jackson now?
