Description
Say it, Thorn.No.
Come on, say it. Just once. I promise ONLY once.
*sigh* ...Cheers, Luv. The Calvery's here.
There we go.
So, Thorn Rose, the 112233C Goth/Emo version of Amy Rose, has returned! It only took her...ooh, nine months?
...Yeah, I know. I sort of ran out of things to do with her, then War Lilac came into the picture and she just sort of fell to the wayside. But NO MORE. I'm going to see if I can make a sort of return situation for her, so I can have a tad more variety in my characters. Perhaps in the Observations comics, which are still going, by the way. I just haven't had time to really draw them due to a combination of trades, preparation for an incoming workload via college and my own general laziness. But they'll come back. I actually have a few ideas on hand, it's drawing them that's the issue.
Oh yes, and I gave Thorn another redesign. Because frankly, the one I gave her last time was A: positively ugly and B: pretty much nothing like the Amy she used to be. It looked like a whole new character, one that was poorly designed and I wouldn't blame people who mistook her for another "Official Character Relative" OC. So I made the connection a tad more obvious. Call it her fur dye running off and reverting to the old pinkish colour, albeit a shade that has faded with age. The clothes...well, I removed the derpy looking coat and reverted to a style similar to her original design, but without as many stitches and a more colourful set of boots. And a shirt graphic. And some black nail polish. You will not believe how hard it was to draw those freaking hands. I still haven't got it quite right. Oh well. Something to work on, I suppose.
Apart from that, enjoy!

Calling her Thorn Rose is pretty clever, I take it she was War Lilac's predecessor in some ways. The last name did make her sound like a relative OC, though. I had to check other pictures to verify that she was indeed an alternate Amy and not a distant sister or something like I first thought.
Drawing hands really is that hard, too! I find that it helps to keep the position of every finger in mind, then connect them to the hand as you draw them. If you try to draw the hand all at once it tends to be a bit too much.

Mmm. Thorn was my original "edgy" reinterpretation of an official character, what I would think would happen if Sonic made it VERY clear he didn't love her...and it actually stuck. Making an actual character out of a cliche'd female missing a few brain cells. Again, a bit like War Lilac. Though I dare say I wrote War Lilac better.
I know. I'm following a number of videos that detail how to draw like Tracey Yardley, the artist behind the Sonic comics (and the only man I respect from that little team). It's just plummeting my self-esteem, though.

That's true, it sounds like your experiences in writing Thorn served you well with War Lilac. It helps that Lilac herself was written in such a generic way that it's not hard at all to inject another personality, while Amy is at least girly and perky. I wonder if Thorn's personality will be updated too.
Well, it may help your self-esteem if you'd stopped repeating to yourself that things like this or that are ugly or derpy. It's good to be aware of what you need to improve, but that should be more important than repeatedly kicking yourself down. I doubt Trace Yardley would be as good as he is if he'd done that to himself.

Hmm. Thorn was actually rather popular. Even had a sort of Ask Account for her. But as I said, I just sort of ran out of things I could do with her. Once she got over what was troubling her (her attachment to Sonic and the results of his outburst), I had nothing else I could really do. I'll probably update Thorn's personality a tad, basically so it's up to par with the others, especially in terms of snark. The snark's important.
I suppose. It's just that sometimes I see the truly beautiful artwork that other fans create...and then I look at my own. It looks like the sort of art that the detractors say ALL Sonic fan art is; simplistic, badly drawn and often about characters other than the official cast. But I put my all into it.

Well, considering that characters like War Lilac, Traveller and Aura fit square in the goth/troubled feel, maybe Thorn could be happier and more positive than them? Still more jaded than vanilla Amy, of course, and the snark will help. But if she really got over her troubles, she should have opportunities to show that. It just might make her popular again, or at least give her some nice contrast to War Lilac.
I think the problem lies in the discovery. It's easy to get excited over the works of others, but much harder to impress yourself since you already know what you are capable of. Seriously, when you say the works of others are beautiful, do you know what that impression is based on? You are your own harshest critic and the same goes for anyone else. It'd help you a lot to understand your own criteria.
