Description
Wow I cannot believe the minor errors I've made with drawing the girls and women on the previous sketch! X_X;;Shortened arm on Mrs. Strawberry and Remy, disproportionate measures of hip to breast ratio (much thanks to Sketch-Chibi and Veronica for providing the concept of Hourglass & Pear shaped bodies) and some probs with breasts still (but at least there are some slight improvements).
Thank you all for your wonderful feedback once again, I really appreciate it as always.
Now on to my main strengths! Drawing guys! LMFAO! XXXXXXD
I really like how these three turned out.
I won't reveal too much about Stream yet, you can check it all out when I officially open my website sometime next week.
Duke and Stream is lookin' sexy as ever... XXD And so is Salah!
Hope you all can agree (especially the girls! ^^)For some very odd reason I've fallen in
with this Salah character... There is something that I really want to show to you in the near future. It's hard to explain what it is but maybe when you see 'Character Sketch 05' you'll know what I mean (probably it's his relationship with Duke and how on behalf of the Diamond Edge crew he will do what he can (not just as vice captain but as a friend) to get him to smile at least once in a while... Read up on why Duke never smiled again on his profile in the near future!) ^^As for Stream lovers it's all mystery, mystery, mystery for now! XP XXD The tattoo that was hidden away on his right hand will explain a fair bit later of his true identity.
I've just finished writing up equivalent to 40 pages of content for the website for the past 3 days. I've finally got it down on CSS format loaded with images to boot. I'm only 60% complete at the moment so fingers crossed that I'll get it done soon!
Oh and one last thing - good news! The book will be ready next week! It'll be finally on sale next week at the LAC website! [link]
Thanks once again for your support! This series will continue to grow strong with your feedback and contributions! Who knows if it'll get an animated cartoon series that will come out on DVD.
Keep living the dream everyone! 
*thumbs up*

How old is he anyway?
and when did he got to the rank he currently is (which is it anyway)?

Whenever I see Salah, I cant help but think of that Disney movie "Ratatoullie", actually I have no idea how to spell it
I think there's a bit of an error with the thickness of Stream's leg. It's too skinny 
Anyway I wont give a massive lecture about a one-off thing~
I think there needs to be a Stream fanbase going on
The big thing I love about your comic series is that it's kind of like watching "Heroes" in a way
One more thing - The artist comment spelt my name wrong, it is 'SketchED-Chibi' and my real name is Nikki by the way~
π: 0 β©: 2
I can't believe that the rat's name was Remy too in that movie! LMAO! XXD Yeah I think you spelt it correctly. ^^
Ah about time you revealed your proper name, I'd much prefer to call friends, fans or people of significance by their real names. = ) *that's odd I swear I haven't found your real name until I saw that ID! XD*
Cheers for pointing out the errors. It seems I've been critically pressed on these errors the moment I let people know that they should be encouraged to correct me.
I like how you are finding this series exciting with every turn, I hope that can be translated into the books as you turn each page Nikki!

yay I have a real name
It's about time LOL
I think it's been like 3~4 months since I watched you (geez time flies!) and it's only been revealed today

*gasp* I just realised the "N.O.F" Symbol's jewel-thing strangely resembles Ruby's jewel on her top! Ruby's weird jewel-thingy does have a background~! I guess it is no longer a weird sense of fashion
haha, I just realised after taking a second look at the picture
I usually hate adding double comments, but I think I may be the first to point this out?

There is probably a connection after all...

T.R.A.P. stands for Taluca Royal Agents and Police. ^^ More of this organisation is explained on the official website. *thumbs up*

i always wondered, what does TGAF stand for?
π: 0 β©: 1
TGAF stands for The Grand ASHWORTH Fortune. XXD Don't worry if you didn't know kili-echidna-96 I actually need to know if people are aware that TGAF is shorthand for the cartoon series they've been following for quite a while. ^^

STREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the hidden Tatoo thing and the way Duke looks.....So SERIOUS. This is wicked Cool. Now I REALLY can't wait to see the Website!!!
π: 0 β©: 0
Mysteries, mysteries, mysteries? Awww come on. XP I guess that's the fun of it though, eh?
Mmm, I was wondering... What exactly is Salah? My first concideration was a Dibbler, but the ears were a little different. So then I decided to look around the animal kingdom a bit, and still had trouble placing him. (There are way, way to many mammals X_x)
As for Duke, well... *Wolfwistles* Man I love that design! His and Fei both, (Because the have the same muzzle devider and eyes) are really original! I can't wait to see how things'll go with him and the Ashworth Crew! Especially since, y'know, Duke is Duke. He seems to stick pretty true to his character even from Tails Away. Kind of Nostalgic. XD
You know, Kind of random, but he actually sorta reminds me of Sanji from one piece... His attitude and all.
I talk way to much, so I'm cutting off with this summary:
Great Peice of work! I love the characters here!
π: 0 β©: 1
Salah's a rat, a real gentlemen may I also add. = )
Thansk for sharing with me your positive compliments and feedback! I really appreciate it AgentWebdog. ^^
Yeah Duke's expression's kind of remind me of Sanji too. XXD But he isn't a womaniser! XXD Duke has a rather 'cold' attitute.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ooh, okay! That makes total sense now that I think about it? To be honest with you, the rat is an animal I never actually looked up, while on my quest.
*Scratches head* No problem. To be completely honest I've always been a huge 'Darkspeeds' fan, so I'm really pleasured to be able to finally do so!
XD I'm sure that's a bad thing for all of his fan-girls! A cold attitude is perfect for his type of character though, you gotta admit. Part of what makes the girls swoon, too!

I'm really loving these character sketches dude, its not everyday that someone with a comic book provides this many sketches and pieces for the fans. I know some do, but seriously man, I admire what you've been doing lately. I've gotta get my hands on the first book, which reminds me...did they sort out the whole printing issues from before
And if you ever make it an animated TV show and you need voices for characters, I'll gladly audition XDD!
Keep it up man!
π: 0 β©: 1
Dude the moment I get the new batch of comics I'll send it off to you if you wish!
Thanks a bunch for your wonderful feedback I hope my book won't dissapoint you Cloud-Sky. ^^
And yeah go and audition if you must! I'd love to have people doing the voices and actually have followed the series since it's early beginnings!
π: 0 β©: 1
Woot, I'll be waiting for the new batch ^_^. Guess I'm gonna have to put some money into my paypal account when you do. Gotta show my support
No prob on the feedback man, I think what you've been doing so far is simply amazing. It'd be so neat to have a comic book out and published, one that many people will love (I can tell just by the responses you've been getting so far) ^_^.
I also do intend to audition one day when TGAF becomes animated ^_^. I love doing voice-work, I'm no pro, but I do have a wide range of voices I've been able to do just out of having it as a hobby
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm most interesting...
"but I do have a wide range of voices"
I wonder what you can offer from your experience VA Cloud-Sky... I too am a VA enthusiast (well I'm not doing it fro a job but also as a hobby if I get the chance to do a project.
Let me know some characters that you voice and it'll give me a general idea of your range. I may consider a TGAF project in the future regarding the voices of some of my characters. ^_~ *thumbs up*
Oh and of course - that is super cool to know you can get a copy! I'll be sure to let you know when they come out and whether the quality passes my standards.
π: 0 β©: 1
Kermit the Frog (rofl, okay...maybe not the best example) right down to Shadow the Hedgehog and lower (Humphrey and the Griffith Variation I can do XD). Most of the voices I usually do for stupid things I never finish are completely made up, but I can do some higher pitched ones as well.
Definitely by no means am I a professional though, I have a lot of work to go if I wanted to do THAT. I just do it for fun, mainly redub a couple things. I've been getting my Sis to help out on redubs from time to time, never really post 'em anywhere because they are generally just for friends. I could always note you with a link or two to a couple that I have sitting around from a few months ago. So yeah, if you've got a project that needs VAing I'll be up for auditioning
And thanks for letting me know on the quality issue, I'll be awaiting the news~

If so, maybe I'll be older by then and maybe even a voice actress!^^ XD If I do become one that is.^^" Ruby is a HIGHLY lovable character and more then anything in the world I would love doing her voice!^^ Ah, yes, I can see it now dinner parties with my fav voice actors : Dan Green and J.Girff
(voices of Knuckles and Sonic here in the US)^^
And then and then!!!!! I got nothin. But you get my point, it would be cool!^^ Ya, know it took me years to find out what I wanted to do with my life, untile I started doing voices for fun one day and realized : Hey! I love doing voices!^^ That's it! I'm gonna be a voice actress!^^ Who knows, if I ever make it to the top you could give me my first gig.XD Hm....Hey Elson? Do you know what one needs to reach those kind of goals?
π: 0 β©: 2
I really hope you will go far in your dreams to become a voice actress. I still haven't heard a sample from you yet but I will soon find out when I hear your VA for Shadow! Please send me the links when they're ready! ^^
Aww wow, are you the only one I've seen so far within the Sonic community who actually have Jason Griffith and Dan Green as favourite voices actors? I've much respect for you LittleGah. I like them just as much too but you wouldn't believe how heavily criticised they are! That is why I'm learnt something really important in the animated cartoon/voice acting industry which will bring significant influence to have my animted cartoon series to be broadcasted on air around the United States. I may very well have it released on DVD instead for very good reasons - more on this at my official website to be realeased sometime next week! *thumbs up*
π: 0 β©: 1
Criticised?! Why would anyone criticise such great voice actors?!
Did they do something wrong? Or is there boss just hard on em?
And if you wanna hear my voice sometime me and my friend Aimee are working on a little something are selves.^^ It has my fav fan character in it Gah, and Zelda from : Legend of Zelda. My friend is doing the voice of Zelda and I'll be doing Gah.^^ It's gonna be a short funny slide thing. I'm still doing the one for Crystal too though.^^ Me and my friend just thought it'd be fun to make a bunch of silly slides.^^ Maybe even some sneak peaks of my own future series.^^ Point is, I can hardly wait!^^ Once she's done coloring we'll be ready to roll!^^

Oh no it's just that a majority of senseless Sonic fans hate them with their guts and want the 'original' Sonic English cast back. Goodness you haven't seen the real evil in the Sonic fan community. XXD;;
π: 0 β©: 1
Phew, thank God. Hey DarkSpeeds could you help me and my friend with something? We made this cool slide show but we can't seem to get it on YouTube. She posted it hear too but my computer's old me and my Mom clicked on something and so now it won't work at all cause it doesn't read that kind of file. So, I could watch it too we agreed to put it on YouTube. But my friend keeps having trouble posting her movie maker thing on YouTube. Could you please help us? You know, tell us how you got your slides on there you used movie maker with those slides right? Is there anything you can say to help my friend and I out?

Easy.
When you submit a new video there is an option that says:
'If your video doesn't upload properly use this link'
Try that one, I'm sure it'll work this time.

Woah... Duke and Steam DO look sexy! XXD *SHOT*
Some more great sketches!

Hi!
There more hot guys^^
Ah, I thought that DukeΒ΄s tail was larger, kinda as I can remember in his previous poses....and StreamΒ΄s arms looks a bit too shorts. WhatΒ΄s happening, Elson? Is not for nothing, but looks that you are failing in terms of drawing the right size of the arms (really sorry for saying this, is just my opinion, I canΒ΄t draw arms, for that I prefer cartoony style^^U)
Well, letΒ΄s see later what secrets Duke and Stream hide from their official profiles^^ Soon as possible I will check it for myself. Boy, my newest comic is just so insane to the poor Duke in that point, dang!
Keep it on, I will waiting for the part 4!
And sorry again for before...
π: 0 β©: 2
Cheers for the link and the comment on my guestbook Ana.
No need to apologise for your opinion, if you're serious about that as an artist then please do be. I believe I haven't been failing at all (failing can be strong word to use but since English is not your first language I can understand why you used it). If someone who had little drawing talent and told me that I was I'd show little respect for thier opinion, however if that person have something better to show (an original art piece of their own e.g. drawing of human anatomy drawn precisely) then I will keep my mouth closed and acknowledge.
Anyway I'll be sending you a note soon regarding my fan comic section of the website. Be sure to see it! *thumbs up*

I knew that was better to shut my big mouth. Sorry if I offended you, was not my intencion. Next time I will try to find better words, is my promise.
See you soon.
