The gun looks nice. I've always been a fan of the bull-pop style.

My first step into "composing". I call it ambient, but that really just means I have no idea what I'm doing and can get away with structureless piano chords.

To be fair its a good first step.

Are you using a midi keyboard or just inputting the notes?

Just FL Studio and a mouse. Even if I had a keyboard it wouldn't do me any good, never learned to play or read.

I was bored again, stumbled across the ugly tiles I made for Shadows, figured they could use some touching up for the lulz. I tried to follow the GBA Metroid style (distinct outlines, high contrast, saturated colors, a good amount of hue shift, slightly cartoony), and the rocks aren't meant to tile, it's just one out of four variations that are made to fit together in order. Metal is supposed to be of Pirate origin so it's a green instead of that dull grey.

Now it got me on a streak. Redid all these today.

For reference, the older ones-

Door tunnel go, 5 colors, probably the first time I've shaded metal with green and purple. Still need to add some more details. Figured I'd go with a sort of futuristic abandoned mine atmosphere, rather than the high tech stuff you usually get.

Again, for reference-

Phlakey, I haven't paid much attention to your stuff in a while. However, your work is wonderful. That mountain piece is gorgeous.

Thanks, after joining this place I made a bit of a leap from passable to slightly more than passable (and I saw results in just under 2 weeks! Talk to your doctor for more information!)

Although a lot of my improvement is because of Liks, I've learned half of everything I know from his shit.

Now I just need to stay motivated...

Well, been working on this, meant to have it done back in January but I've been too busy to sit down with it until recently. Just finished up the last few lines today. There are still a few I really don't like, but I'll take what I can get.

Music is Modern Seaside Hill from Sonic Generations.

Quote:
 
Long since the Super Mario Bros.
Absorbed us we knew that none could oppose
This masterpiece platformer, top of the bill

Something was just a little amiss
An emptiness, some kind of gaming abyss
An overwheight pipe cleaner never could fill

Then one fateful day all our prayers they were answered
With a blue blur speeding like none before

Sonic where were you all my life?
Run so much faster
Than Blaster Master

Through two sequels and weird cartoons
Racing and pinba- oh, who am I kidding
No one played Spinball

Both your Adventures made us j**z on the walls
Heroes wasn't great but you can't win them all

We all know the reboot kinda sucked balls
And by balls I mean a lot of balls
[Just improv it, nobody will notice unless you accidentally copy this into the subtitles]
Couldn't even think of a new title
No surprise that we were really pissed

Now things looked pretty grim
Couldn't believe how they dropped the ball
Could Sonic Team pick it up again
Convince us all

That he could save the day
Sweep all of our fears away
At least be okay

Unleashed was just improvement
But at least it was a decent first step
To get that hedgehog back on the right track

Still thought the fans had run out of luck
Then Colors decided just to not suck
The people praised it was finally back

Hold on, am I enjoying Sonic again now?
I thought I was supposed to hate them all

Colors turned out to not be balls
But exclusively
On Nintendo Wii

How many times can I say balls?
[This totally isn't meta-commentary]
[That would be preposterous]

After good impressions and contemplation
Generations earned our anticipation

All the haters said it would fail again
Our resolve was much harder to break
[Improv it again here, I guess. And since you'll be editing these out, you can write about that really embarrasing time when-
Much to our surprise it turned out not bad
The games were finally back on their feet

What could be in store now
That he lived and learned how to fly free
Maybe Adventure 3
That'd make me real happy

Now we just wait and see
Control all your fanboy glee
Play more Sonic 3


So, can't wait to gauge my improvement soon. I'm just waiting until I can listen to what I make without cringing every couple seconds.
