Oh Hey, I Remember This Level Of Halo 3

I think the main issue that I am trying to get at is how the original Halo series had one of the strongest development teams working at the time, whereas 343 never even had the chance for its team to fully grow, evolve, and iterate upon itself.

Halo 4 is probably the piece of media that I have the biggest love/hate relationship with.

It feels so close to being something great but doesn't quite hit the mark.

Not to mention how its a game that was the start of a storyline/trilogy that didn't really go anywhere, leaving the feeling that it was the start of something special that never got a proper follow up

This is amazing!

Another part of my Archie redraw series! With cover #3, this wraps up the original miniseries !

Timelapse of this is available on my Bluesky.

Some thoughts on this piece and on this issue below ⤵️

So, my initial plan was to do a Green Hill Loop, but incorporate more greenery and flora to actually make it feel like Green Hill and not just a basic grid. You can see a bit of that rough sketch at the very beginning of my timelapse.

But ultimately, I decided to stick to the abstract route and instead pulled directly from Sonic Mania for inspiration! I feel like nothing best captures that classic sonic aesthetic than that retro deco.

I also kind of found it fitting to pull inspo from Mania's OP for this one since Tyson Hesse mentioned before that this very cover was what inspired him to become an animator in the first place when discussing his cover for IDW #50.

I tried to fit as many Sonics as I could but ultimately skipped out on one, so there's 7 instead of 8 lol. I wanted to ensure that the "speediest" Sonic have his face covered by the quills of the Sonic still tapping his foot, as something I disliked about the original is the speediest Sonic overlapping the standing one. By all accounts, he should be Behind him and the other Sonics follow that suit, but if that particular Sonic did, his face would be covered. As a result, I compromised lol.

As for my thoughts on this issue!!!! I don't really have much haha. Ultimately, it's not going to be an issue I'm going to remember. It was just a fun silly issue, but there's not much there to really comment on. It was nice to see some more of Uncle Chuck though!!

With all that said, we're finally getting to the Actual series now and I can't wait ! <3

We are all so fucked

Without getting into spoiler territory-

Alien Romulus is fantastic. A wonderful homage to each film in the series, while somehow also managing to change things up and remain fresh. (Well, a lot of that freshness comes from how it takes certain ideas from the past and improves upon them)

My only real critque is the reuse of a few lines from previous films (seriously, just write your own dialogue) one of which got an eye roll out of me.

All in all, I really loved this film

(Fede Alvarez should direct a Doom movie)

Cowboy Bebop (I think)

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?

I can't believe Shadow the Hedgehog got infected with the Uroboros virus

You can literally make anything and anyone problematic if you try hard enough seriously give me people and things and I’ll make them all “problematic” right now.

Halo Fans very much embody that one "No one hates Sonic more than Sonic fans" meme.

I know because I am both.

i think halo is about space marines and some kind of war maybe. not sure. when i’m over 20 years late to the halo franchise and can simply exist in my own bubble it ends up like this.
