Right. Becky is so made of win here:

Is it me, or is her blatant admittal to it being a Shadow/Sonic recolour completely off base? Sorry, but the first hedgehog that sprung to my mind was Silver, not either of the other two already-established ones. Must be that chest fur and the expressionism.

To be Becky's Boyfriend = Surge?
Gee...what became of Miles alla sudden?
*cue infighting between Miles and Becky's new attraction*

Comparing Becky to an egotistical maniac just seems utterly WRONG...though she could be called his rival in all honesty.

...What I find truly sad about Darksy is his complete inability to realise that the character he's drawn is not "sexy" at all. In fact, the only thing people are going to notice are her damned boobs because like everything he's ever drawn on female characters, they're out of proportion in comparison to the rest of her body frame. Anyone with boobs like that is going to have a serious "leaning" problem...like she has already XD
If he shifted her head a little more to the left, she wouldn't look like she needed a back brace and fast.

Take a look at her left hand too.
I damned near killed myself laughing at the fact she's missing an opposable thumb. Of course, only the TRULY nitpicky could notice that, and after critiquing arts, especially my own, for nearly eighteen years online you tend not to miss things like that. But unless you're drawing solely to boost your ego and pageviews on DA, that kind of detail doesn't have a place.

E.G.O. for short? Yeah Elson, sums you up in three letters, doesn't it? XD!

...Take a look at her species and tell me if that's not a frikkin' ECHIDNA. He's claiming her to be a Female Sika Deer. Elson, HONESTLY, please goddamned make note that if you are GOING to make a species that looks different to an echidna, please use animal reference books. It wouldn't kill you to make her actually LOOK like a freakin' DEER, would it?!

I'm also wondering how it is that tattoo of hers makes a 'BA' symbol. I see the top half of the B but not the bottom half. Oh but wait, this is Elson and none of his whores are going to care about that. Mmph, details *waves hand dismissively*

"P.S. Oh! BTW!! XXD Geena's not an echidna... She's a SIKA DEER! >= ) Beat that! *SHOT* XXXXD [link] I shall explain what happened to her ears when this series get's published. ;)"
Oh gods, she didn't need ears you moron, she just needed to have her muzzle altered to actually LOOK like a fucking DEER!

And "published"? He better not be serious or Amanda Jolly from Jollifications Inc. is gonna piss herself when I tell her this shit XD!

~**~

I was friends with Elson a very long time ago. He was as unopen to critiques as he is today. It wouldn't kill anyone of his bastard children to actually realise this complete moron is taking an already established trademark (several in fact) and attempting to make money out of it. Now if only he could have taken OzManga's rejection and 'cease & desist' letters seriously...

This was mainly a journal to see how the two of them fared into the transition of 2007. Made of FAIL for obvious reasons XD

Amanda Jolly is a woman I've known, professionally (for whatever brief stint I was publishing my own short comics, I believe it was a year) and non-professionally since I was eight years old. Her company, Jollifications Incorporated Sydney, were the ones behind the old Aussie animation "Bunyip" which incorporated one of the first flash animations produced in our country. One of the last at that time in my childhood as I recall...

My father's recent visit here to SA put her back into contact with me and we've discussed, via emails and trade samplings, about perhaps getting my foot in the goddamned cutthroat door of Australian Television 2D Animation, of which thank the stars is coming back as soon as early 2008. Contractual work from Jollifications outwards reaches as far as Stateside and New Zealand, and as Amanda has noted, I've improved quite a bit from those early days XD

She especially liked Jazeya-Azlyn from my characters and believes Donavonn has some potential as a serious animation project (that dark storyline I wrote last year is what she liked). However, she wants me IN the industry first, and come later on in the year, they'll be opening an Adelaide Office & Studio in South Terrace. Fucking awesome.

She's also looking into the failed contract agreement with NAPCAN to produce the limbless fruits animation (age group 3 - 8 years), which ABC was nice enough to actually keep the documentation for. I was worried they'd eliminated all such trace of that write-up. That fucking thing took me MONTHS to put together DX If this gets off the ground this time around, I'mma gonna be one happy woman.

Amanda has been a mentor to me for as far back as I can recall starting 2D character design. To have her there again behind me, as I was very sure she'd forgotten me, if a welcome start to 2007.

I do recall discussing Elson with her just before we stopped writing each other (and Jollifications was merged into Yoram Gross for a stint). She told me nothing good could come out of a person like that, especially coupled with a "I am invincible worship me" attitude.

She was so damned right. Come to think of it, she was damned right about a lot of people...

Oh and I'mma get some pics of my soon-to-be new birdy X3
2007 may just be my year. Now to get out of my current job...

Love ya's!
