Ever been confused by the current Archie Sonic relationships? Look no further!
Wow. That's rather amusing.
...Alrigthy! That's odd, but funny.
Hey look something new: a contest.
So basically is the same thing they did with the SatAM Sonic DVD boxset only the artwork will be part of gallery in the game. Cool.
- YOU, THE ARTIST: You must be over 13 years old to enter and live in either the United States or Canada. [/list:u:336a20df5b]
Weird, that the series most significant demograph isn't eligible from entering this contest.
They want art, though.
They want DEVIANTARTS. And figure nobody 13 under can draw.
your Fan Art Submission must be suitable for general audiences (i.e., may not be obscene or indecent, including but not limited to nudity, pornography, profanity or gratuitous violence);
T_T *pulls out of contest*
"your Fan Art Submission must be suitable for general audiences (i.e., may not be obscene or indecent, including but not limited to nudity, pornography, profanity or gratuitous violence);"
but isn't pretty much every Sonic character nude? 
They want DEVIANTARTS. And figure nobody 13 under can draw.
And there are plenty of people over 13 who can't draw well either--especially on Deviantart. 
The only difference between a drawing done by a 9-year old and a drawing done by a 20-year old that look like it was drawn by a nine-year old is that the former is cute and charming in a child-like way(see Sonic Channel's fanart section for example).
Unless the latter is a troll drawing.

Well the females aren't. That always bother me thought. Males are naked yet the females are not. Lack of consistency there Sonic Team.
I wonder if Sonic will be wearing an armor at a certain point in the game?
Yeah but male characters have no definable human genetalia. In fact t hey dont have any at all.
When it can be assumed Amy has breasts. Rouge obviously does, Blaze looks flat chested but you never know for sure.
Then again you can look at the Archie-verse and see that breasts aren't really "bad" until we see nipples. But whatever. Its very round a bout to argue the nudity allowances and taboo's of furries.
Blaze doesn't even wear pants. :O
Come to think about it, does Cream were pants?
Blaze wears pants. Otherwise her legs would be purple.
Awesome. I had wanted to take part in the Sonic SATam DVD art contest thing but it was during a very intense point in my semester and I had to do the grown up thing and refrain. But not this time! My semester's barely started.
Actually I can't draw Sonic to save my life. I've tried many times. I always make his cyclops eye look lopsided so I cheat and give him two seperate eyes.
I've submitted my entry. It's a depiction of my favorite Sonic level of all time:
Awesome man, that very cool!
Aside from the part where Wing Fortress didn't have Eggman's mug on it, anyway.
thats a cool picture.
That's pretty nice, man. I love that level, too. *points to the left =P*
Thanks for the comments.
Also, if you try going back to the contest page, it looks like a blog entry. It says that they received "Well over 350" submissions. In the official rules it said that judging would only take a few days and that potential winners would be contated within a week, basically. That's kind of SatBK news related so I thought I'd share that.
Here is what I submitted. Just thought I would do the first time Sonic became Super Sonic. It never is really established official WHEN this happens, but we know it happened at SOME point. I hope it gets in, would look awesome on my resume to have a drawing in a game! Also, free Sonic game!
Now that is really awesome!^_^
Sonic's first "WTF?!" Moment. Nice picture dude. Awesome.
Sparkle, sparkle!
EDIT: The Sega Blogger who previous reported that they got around 350 entries said that they got a large amount of submissions in "The Eleventh Hour" and that a better estimate of entries is 450 to 500. That means 0.04% of the entrants are going to get in. Damn.
The Green Hill Zone forums are conspiring to sneak in a picture of Sonic jumping the shark (literally) to the contest.
Some of their best attempts:
Hydrocity by Dash
Sonic vs. Megalodon by G. Silver
A not so subtle one by cjmcray
and SONIC LEAPFROG XTREME by Esrever
Want Levels = OVER NINE THOUSAND if one of those gets in. XD
Ooh, I wouldn't be able to pick one. I hope at least on of them gets in.
Hydrocity is probably the only one that won't be so totally obvious to the judges as to its hidden meaning.
That really depends. Whenever I use the term "Jumping the Shark" in real life I have to explain what the phrase means to the people around me -- even people who have exposure to the Internet. It's quite possible that the judges aren't famillar with Shark Jumping. Depends on who they choose to judge.
I'm starting to believe that the game play is actually not linear.
First footage of the game in Nintendo Japanese Conference reel .
Looks like Sonic will explore large areas in the game.
Sweet. A remake of Punchout? Cool!

The TGS trailer.
Oh god, why am I cursed with carpel tunnel? It looks extremely promising.
Just managed to catch the tail-end of it when I logged onto the Sega Live Feed. Nice to see the full thing. Unleashed has a trailer too, I think?
That sounds an awful lot like Crush 40. I hope it is, I've missed them.

All they did was show Sonic Unleashed's Endless Possiblities trailer with a couple of new Werehog clips replacing some old ones. Total rip.
Heh, that video was pretty cool especially Sonic's buzzsaw attack which is how I figured it would turn out. Also, Wiki's article has some interesting new info on this!
"The fabled sword selects its bearer..."
Onoes Sonic has teh sol edge?
Its still really obscure if its like Secret Rings or proper 3D roaming. Sonic running through the green fields looked nice. With its blue sky as well. Le sigh. Why cant the Black Knight look like Metal Sonic or Shadow or Eggman? The trailer did give some hope, Because it did look kinda good. Whatever kinda good means.
Well, according to the wikipedia article I linked, this game is not on rails.
The idea of classic songs being remixed for a Celtic styling sounds pretty epic and the gameplay video doesn't look too bad. I like the idea of grinding down a building with the axe.
Still, as John mentioned, I can't tell if this is free roaming or on the rails. Suppose more waiting is due.
TGS US trailer. It same as previous one only the song doesn't have the lyrics and tittle of the game is in english.
It would have been nice if the Black Knight looked like Metal Sonic....But wasn't actually Metal Sonic. Just to titillate the audience.
Edit: omg yey my first 1000 postsssssss....
should I feel old now?
Stuff like this makes me wonder how much more material will be added onto the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise.
I think, given there's no supporting character being shown in this one, we're getting it light on the addition scale. The other two new releases both have new characters who are bound to show up again in some way, shape or form. It's nice to be burden free.
Yes it certainly is very nice to be burden free Craig Bayfield.
Please do not use both of my names like that, it feels so cold and alien. I'd really prefer it if you said Craig or if you're feeling like just my sirname, Bayfield. I couldn't exactly have Craig as my username as it was already used, but my sirname alone is also impersonal, so I used my full name but do not want to be referred to by it. That is just weird.
** *****! Is a swear!
Potty mouths are not welcome here!
