I already have 2.5 so far. The two being Digit and Diode. And .5 being Cecelia. Also saying .5 cause I’ve yet to develop her more.
But other than that, I currently don’t have future plans for more fankids at the moment. I don’t wanna juggle too many OCs. But like I said, they could change in the future.
Any art you hate so much, you considered deleting them?
Well there was at least two that came to mind. One idea was my take on Nicole. I saw some folks have so many cool designs, and I wanted to try it. It was a fusion of the two designs she had in the comics, with glasses. I grew to dislike it over time and deleted everything. The post, the art, and files. A remnant of it can be seen in one pic of Sky bringing flowers to Nicole. I felt ashamed of doing a poor job, especially since I do love Nicole. And some time after, I bought a Lynx design that I grew to love and chose that instead.
The second pic was me making an Amy Rouge and Tails Rouge. I grew to dislike the proportions and perspective. It just doesn’t look right to me. So I deleted everything as well.
I know I shouldn’t delete history and all, but even with my old pics, I can look back at them fondly. But these two gave me an emotion no other old pic of mine has given me. Perhaps someone saved them or something, so maybe it’s still out there. Not in a rush to find out.
What’s the one food you always wanted to eat?
A rather strange question, but I actually have an answer. I remember seeing a video during quarantine of this strange cheese that is filled with maggots and made of maggot feces. It’s disgusting but considered a delicacy in some countries. I admittedly wanna try it. You know, if I am guaranteed to not get sick from it. My curiosity got the best of me.
This was definitely unintentional but I realized that the core 4 of the NoMo OCs have a theme behind building. Switch is a hacker that build tech but also builds himself for a new start. Niki is an AI and thus build software while also building herself to find her humanity. Jettison has a robotic tail she regularly fixes and build tech, while also building herself back up from her trauma. And Beacon is a construction worker that builds buildings, but also builds a future career for himself. I didn’t realize this til Twiggy had one question in her server that got me connecting the dots. I may find a way to work it all in.
What kinds of art pieces do you find yourself favoriting most often?
I tend to fave a lot of art. Fan art, crossovers, comics, a lot of stuff like that. But the art pieces I get excited the most are the ones that are taking ideas and turning them around and creating a new spin. Like seeing obscure characters being drawn again. I am always a big fan of obscure stuff being brought back. It shows that despite them never seeing the light of day, fan will always keep them alive.
I really haven’t thought about that aspect much. I just made an OC based on my experiences. Like for example Roxanne. I plan on having art or stories about her dealing with the job life. A way for me to vent out the harder aspects of it. I don’t have much secret details in them, at least not yet.
So far, I’ve only has Switch as the father figure. And honestly, I don’t have any dads who are being the worst nor do I plan on doing it. They are all good dads, and it feels nice to make stories or art about them doing good. Not that I hate bad dads. It just seems cliche to me. A lot of dads in fiction are either dumb, evil, or neglectful. And that’s honestly very tiresome to me. I like to shake that up.
What is your favorite type of question to be asked?
I think it would be simple from my Prime world to Anthro world. Now as for NoMo, that’s a little tricky. Since the world is so full of lore, I feel like adding characters out of nowhere could disrupt it. Plus, with how any action can lead to consequences, I can’t imagine what adding my OC that we’re not NoMo’d could do. Maybe I can use them as generic background characters so it wouldn’t affect much, but that also feels like wasted potential. I think I’m just fine with my main 4.
Not to mention, I have a lot of OCs and I’m trying to cut down a bit. So having the main 4 in NoMo seems much more manageable.
What do you consider the most interesting part of Sonic lore?
The most interesting part in my opinion are the Sonic games prior to Sonic Unleashed, when Yuji Naka is not around anymore. I love how a lot of Sonic lore has been intertwined with each other. Like how the mural in Sonic 3 and Knuckles may have inspired Gerald Robotnik to create Shadow. And also got him to make Artificial Chaos. And then how Sonic Heroes had Metal Sonic get Chocola Chao and Froggy cause they have connections to Chaos. And then how the Gizoids were something Gerald analyzed. And so on and so on. It was so cool to see it all connect, and it made Sonic’s world fascinating.
And it’s something that post-Sonic Unleashed severely lacked. Like, where did the Time Eater actually come from? What is the Lost Hex? Whatever caused the Phantom Ruby to appear? Well fuck all cause we never got an answer to them. They just treat it as fodder to justify a game. Frontiers definitely got us going back to the connecting lore again, though it is rather sudden. Like they just brought everything from the past back to the present in an avalanche. While nice to see, I do wish they handled it better and not just dump it all as reference bonuses. I guess only time will tell.
For Switch, he would spend a summer in his gaming sessions. Hanging out with the bois, drinks or snacks in hand, and shooting the shit. Just being with his buds and making memories is all he needs.
Jettison loves to go to the beach. Not only cause she loves to swim and enjoy the sunny rays, but also to catch a few folks attention. She got some good bikinis going, and likes to flirt with a few folks. Lots of eye candy there too.
Beacon is a guy who likes to travel a bit. Go camping, or a road trip, or go to an amusement park, that kinda thing. He is about adventure, especially being cooped up in the construction site.
I remember fondly reading Ricky Ricotta’s Mighty Robot. It was made by the same guy who did Captain Underpants. I was huge space nut as a kid, and this book series helped satisfy that excitement. It featured a small mouse who would get a giant robot as a buddy and fight bad guys from various planets. Like mosquitoes from Mercy, Vultures from Venus, and so on. And the flip o rama’s are fun! Never thought I could see a book animated. I read up until Saturn, and I wondered when they make more. Turns out the author’s father was sick at the time, so the books were on hold. Surprised to see the book series are sorta still going on, albeit re-released in a new art style. It’s my nostalgia talking, but I prefer the old style. It felt so simple but cute. The new style is so…modern? Hard to say. One last thing to note, if the rumors goin around are true that a film adaptation is happening, you bet I’m gonna watch that shit!
