The Sonic spriting community is a joke, a bad joke. I look around and I see bullshit, nothing but bullshit, and not just the lack of skill this community has, but how people like :iconSilversayain123: Actually support people with bad spriting, I actually watched this guy tell ShockTH he had good spriting, in a journal where Shock himself was admiting he had to work on, and when shock tried to say he did need help he kept arguing that he did'nt. people like silversayin are bad for the sprite community, because while somtimes you dont need to say people are bad, if they actually admiting they need to improve dont keep saying they dont, people arnt gonna improve that way its stupid.

There's a lot of unpleasantness directed towards DeviantArt.

Before anything, just allow me to tell just how much I have adored and cherished the love, kindness, support and friendship I have gained from all of you who cared to view what I'd drawn.
Doing these silly (And usually illogical/disturbing) comic-strips and images has literally been one of the highlights in my life, as cheesy and cliché as that may sound, I swear, it's absolutely true. Ever since way back when I started with my couple of watchers right up to this moment with over 19'000 watchers, breaking the 1'000'000 pageview milestone and having amassed over 10'000'000 hits, logging into this account and seeing many, many supportive remarks and friendly comments, watching the favourites rise steadfastly on each deviation, seeing others willing to try improve their own, or return, to drawing (Despite the fact that I still do not wish to be titled as a
