Back into Sonikku? (and memories from old fanart)

I've always been a Sonic fan, but lately I've felt less in tune with the series. I attribute that to not playing a good (read: any) Sonic games in a while. Plus, all of them seem sucky lately or are on consoles I don't own, so yeah.

But today when looking at some Sonic fanart and supportive paragraphs on soniccouplessupporte, something clicked. I rediscovered why I liked the series again, despite its flaws and my interest in it gradually fading with time with a lack of new releases I liked.

And speaking of fanart, just a few minutes ago, I looked through some old fanart from around '06-'07 (my peak of interest in the Sonic fandom, it seems), and I was amazed in so many ways. Some of it was excellent and (dare I say) better than a lot of it on dA, and some of it wasn't as good as I recalled. A lot of it evoked feelings of "Woah, I designed that when I was 11 or 12?" in me(a lot of it consisted of lovechildren and fancharacters). Some of it was REALLY good, I'll put it up when I get time. A lot of it was pretty good, but really sloppy, so it looks like I have some moar fanart to redo...

And in RL news, spring break officially ended yesterday for me. That's why I was so active beforehand; I was on break! Back into the good 'ole swing of things, I suppose...
