Hello all,
It's been a while since I last wrote something here so I figured I'd make a quickie update as to what's been going on. Lately I've run into a little bit a an dilemma here at DA: I'm torn between what art people want to see from me and what art I actually enjoy making. If you check my gallery you'll notice I make some little figurines I made a while back. I had great fun making those but, as I sorta expected, no one really took any notice of them because, well, sculpture is not what I'm known for. For years I've been a Sonic the Hedgehog fan and so my gallery is pretty much expected to be nothing but images related to the franchise. And, for the most part, it is: I have Sonic cosplay in there, I have my Shadow comic pages, I have random drawings of Sonic and Shadow, etc. Yes I love Sonic, but I find it a little depressing that that's all I'm known for. In fact I have many other drawings of fantasy creatures in my sketchbook that I don't even bother to scan because I know no one here would be interested in seeing them. I also have made several other fantasy figurines that I haven't bothered posted any pictures of for the same reason.
Now, I think I've come up with a solution to this situation: I'll just make another account . Since Rally has been known for years as a Sonic artist she'll stay that way. In fact, I think I might just delete the images of the sculptures I have here and move them to the new account. Why haven't I done all this yet, well, I figured I'd give some heads up first. That and I'm a little lazy and don't know what to name my other account just yet .
Finally, what does all this mean for this account? Well fear not, I still plan on posting Sonic art. I'm excited for the new Sonic Boom series so you may very well see more images of that. I also plan to continue my Shadow comic series as well. The one thing I do ask you all is please, for the love of all things good stop badgering me about them! I'm flattered you all like the series that much but it get annoying when the only comments I get are "WHERE'S THE NEXT PAGE?!!!!" Guy's, I make these comics for fun and because I like the Sonic series. I'm not getting paid for any of it, I make them on my free time which, some weeks, I have very little of. The next page will come, when it comes. Despite what many of you might think I'm actually a very lousy artist. It can take me hours to complete an image to even a day. That Diablo 3 image I just posted recently; I wasn't lying when I said that was all I'd been up to for the last month. Do I like it and think it's cool, heck yes. But I also know it's nothing compared to what other artists can do in half that time. Heck, there are those that could have made that image in hour. So yes, despite her screen name and her love of the speedy Sonic Rally draws about as fast as a speeding snail. And no, I'm not talking Turbo the snail here, just a everyday garden snail.
So, yeah, that's about it for now. Once I figure out a name for my other account and get it going I'll make a journal with a link to it here. I'm not expecting it to be anytime too soon since there's really no hurry but it's something that could very well be on the horizon.

Thanks all for the Happy Birthdays
Well the year's almost out and I fear I haven't really done to much with this page. While I still like Sonic I haven't really been drawing him or any of his posse much these days. I've mostly been working on fantasy art and sculpts some of which I have photos of on my other page here ~GobLynns-Den (https://www.deviantart.com/goblynns-den) . I also went back to college this year so that ate up much of my time. Though I will likely come back to this page from time to time art is likely not going to submitted very often.
That said, I was curious if there was anything in particular folks would like to see from me this coming year. For example, does anyone want to see more art of Am
New Account, whole new genre
If you can't guess by the title there I've started a new account on DA. I've done this because I've taken up sculpting and am looking to start an Etsy shop. The genre, however, is fantasy, and thus I don't feel the Deviations fit the rest of my gallery here. So I've decided to keep the two accounts separate. Rally-the-Cheetah will be used to upload anime and Sonic-related images and my other account will have photos of my sculptures.
For those that are into sculptures of the Fey then you can find me here ~GobLynns-Den (https://www.deviantart.com/goblynns-den). I don't have really anything there yet but should soon have several photos up later this week.
So, there's a ton of Sonic news going around huh?
I'll come out and say it right now: I'm liking what I'm seeing of Sonic BOOM. Yeah the change in character designs took some getting used to but seeing the clean models at E3 I feel I like them much better now. The alpha stage ones were, well, a little ugly.
This said, I notice the comments and hype for Sonic BOOM is a real mixed bag and range anywhere from people loving it to seeing it as blasphemous. Oddly enough I'm not bothered by this, in fact I find myself delighted by it. It's strange really, at first I thought I felt this way because the fact that such a strong argument even exists shows Sonic is still popular and loved by many peopl
Thanks for the Birthday wishes and update ^_^
Hey all, =D
I wanted to thank everyone for the Happy Birthdays and give a quick update as to what I've been up to for the last month and a half. After completing my Zavok pumpkin stencil for Halloween (of which I'll post a photo of soon), I sorta decided to take on some personal projects. During the month of October, and even a little before that, I started to suffer from depression. For a while I was considering seeing a doctor but thankfully it went away and I didn't have to see him about any medication. Still, it got me to thinking about some things and I decided I'd try and take up some sculpting. I really enjoyed sculpting the few Sonic

I'd say upload whatever YOU want. It's your account, not theirs. I don't understand why everyone thinks they have to please everyone... in the end, you're doing he artwork because YOU want to... right? >_>
If you want something to be taken notice of, go to the groups section of DA. Find a group or two or ten related to the artwork you've posted. Join them. Submit that artwork to their gallery. Thousands of people who ARE interested will see it. You'll build up more of a fan base for more than just sonic. lol.
I've found multiple accounts to get too complicated in the end. I've tried it. lol.
