Any #Sonic fans out there? Let's be mutuals! 😃

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Wasn't happy with this artwork, so I tried pushing the composition and perspective a little further.

Did I do good? Which version do you like better?

For our second #MadeInNZ spotlight of the day, check out How Was Your Day? by Mad Carnival!

This one really feels authentically kiwi. Just watching the trailer makes me want to go to the dairy for a pie, and maybe solve a mystery while I'm at it...

How Was Your Day? on Steam
After her beloved dog Beans vanishes and 13-year-old Diya finds herself trapped in a nightmarish time loop, each day reveals darker secrets in the sleepy town of Lakeview. Nothing, and no one, is what...

Foren holds Lisie in the foreground, both frightened by what they see. Foren is a tall squirrel-dog-man; Lisie is a small girl with dark skin and swirly, curly hair. Behind them, a shadowed figure jumps down carrying a large, spiky mass.

The comic is titled "My Favorite Fighting Game Archetypes:" Panel titled "The Grappler That Barely Fits on Screen". It's a huge, extremely muscular, bald 'pro wrestler' type character with metal bands around his arms. He is so big that he doesn't even notice his opponent, a regular sized guy in a yellow karate gi trembling in his shadow. His head is also bending the health bars above them. Panel titled "The Small Idiot With a Big Stupid Weapon". It is a girl in a predominantly pink Japanese schoolgirl uniform with with a yellow ribbon on the collar, running excitedly, a sparkle in her eyes. With both arms she is wielding a full sized heating radiator. Panel titled "The Straight Fundamentals, No Funny Business." Is it a grey-haired older man tightening the belt of his karate gi, which has yellow patches on the arms. He has a stern expression, confident in his mastery of his craft. Panel titled "The Funny Business". It is some kind of purple imp type guy in a pink-and-yellow jester outfit with teal pom poms attached to the 3 points of the hat. He has a bag with a metal spiky ball, a giant wacky wooden hammer, and a banana peel inside it. There's also a whoopee cushion that fell out. He is pulling a gun out of it.
