Description I think I may have actually found my calling....full pictures with backgrounds and captions like the last three I've made. I think I can say a lot about life through these kind of pictures. Plus, the characters and setting of Ruby Gloom are perfect for my philosophies. Cool...now I feel like I've regained sight of my inner fire!

Okay, back to being normal. I had a lot of fun with this picture; drawing Iris upside-down was tricky, but worth it. I'm not exactly THRILLED with the background, but at least it's not just vine/tentacle-like things again. Maybe next time I won't destroy my purple colored pencil as well....

The caption in this picture actually has three different levels of meaning: 1) It's a twist on the old saying 'What goes up must come down', 2) Iris is attached to a bungee cable, so literally, 'What comes down must go up', and 3) this is a reference to looking on the bright side; when you're down, there's nowhere to go but up. Ponder that while I prepare for more philosophical and life-changing art than ever before!

I'd be honored to assist with the club! As it stands, I'm working four days a week (as in gone for 11 hours a day), but I'm sure I'd be able to spare some time to do my part for the club! Just send a note with the details, and I'll take care of the rest.

Rofl, I like this XD

This could also be a spoof on Sonic Heroes (the song of the game )

"What goes up, must come down,
yet my feet don't touch the ground."

Fave'd.

Heh, cool...if memory serves, Crush 40 is the "official" Sonic band, right?

Thanks for the favorite...and expect more in the future!

Yeah. But, Steve Conte sang the awesome "Seven Rings in Hand" song.

If you're interested:

this [link] leads to the "original"

and this [link] leads to the Crush 40 version of the song, IIRC, they also remade "His World"

I am... all of me, Misery Style XD

Great, and, you're welcome

Nifty, I'll check those out sometime...I haven't actually played any recent Sonic games, but a friend of mine introduced me to Crush 40.

If you have a Wii, you should try Sonic and the Secret Rings. It starts out slow as heck but the farther you come in-game, the faster you can make Sonic. XD

Crush 40 really do awesome music IMO.

Catula In reply to zeldagamer2123 [2008-07-29 16:54:54 +0000 UTC]

And believe me, I probably would, but I can't afford a Wii right now. I'll just stick with my good old Sega Genesis copy of Sonic 2.

Crush 40 are definitely a notch above the rest of the popular music out there. Not at the top of my personal list, but certainly a cut above the norm.

Aah. Did you ever beat the final boss of Sonic 2? I just can't beat him...

My fav. zones are the Oil Ocean and the Mystic Cave zones

Well, there are better bands/musicians than Crush 40 out there. Koji Kondo, for example XD

Catula In reply to zeldagamer2123 [2008-07-29 18:17:04 +0000 UTC]

I managed to beat him once. Not having any rings for that battle sucks.

Mystic Cave Zone was definitely my favourite...and it had the best music in my opinion.

Heh, don't get me started on music...I'm a complete music geek, and my taste is usually way too strange for most people to tolerate.

I always like to use the cheat codes for Sonic 2 XD

Have you ever fought against two final bosses at once while the Death Egg is exploding? XD Great fun, I tell ya.

Of course, I was Super Sonic for the entire duration

Catula In reply to zeldagamer2123 [2008-07-30 13:25:36 +0000 UTC]

Nah, I used Super Sonic, but I always acquired him legitimately. I swear, I got so good at the "collecting rings" stages it wasn't even funny!

zeldagamer2123 In reply to Catula [2008-07-30 18:49:35 +0000 UTC]

And I always beat the game legit, until I reach the final boss.

I hate those Special Stages ><'

Meh, I always thought they were fun.

Well, in some games they ARE fun.

Sonic Heroes, for example
