Description
See the Updated Version (sort of) here, [link]Hello anyone who decided to look at this abomination unto all things art. Some of you may recall that I originally drew "Cream and Cosmo: A Light Snack." Well...this is the same thing but now I colored it (I'm innovative!).
Some things you might notice:
1) No Shading: I plan to write, not draw, for a living so whenever I draw something, it's because I'm bored and really wanna see a scene I thought of on physical paper in a lesser quality than what I can see in my head. Given that, I can't be bothered to do more than just the basics. The only real shading I have here is on Cosmo's legs. Yes, those are her legs and not just stubs from what used to be her legs...I added that little field of black to help create the illusion of depth...probably didn't work out that well.
2) The outlines might suck: I've drawn and colored pictures in the past but I've normally been content to just leave my pencil outlines in there and not make them any more noticeable except in a few cases. Now that I've seen what it's like to ink my drawings...I'll probably never do it again. That's hard work and it takes forever. I salute those of you who ink drawings. Despite what some people think, you do NOT just simply trace. And even if you did, it's hard work if you wanna do it right.
3) The background's terrible: In the black and white drawing, I noticed you can still see the images I erased whilst drawing this pic so I wanted to cut the background out and make a simple kitchen as the new backdrop (no real effort would have gone into it). However, my magnetic lasso tool proved to suck as it tried to cut off things that I wanted to keep so I just paint bucket filled as much as I could with white. After all the time and energy I spent just inking this picture, I couldn't be bothered to go another 9 yards for the background's sake.
4) The art quality itself sucks: ...That's because I suck (you can tell I'm serious because the "I" was caps-locked to give it emphasis). As I said in my first pic, you're more than welcome to re-draw what you see here if you think you can do better than me. Just let me know how it turns out.
Anything else you need to know about this pic can be found in my comment on the b&w version (do I smell product placement?) though I'll be more than happy to answer any questions, comments, etc you may have for this one.
One last time, I'd like to thank Canime, Green-Knight, and Limpurtikles for helping me with this pic, whether you knew you did or not.
Thanks for watching.

Wow...I remember dial-up. Tell me, do all dial-up modems still make loud noises when you sign onto the Internet? I remember those sounds were the worst! I was afraid they'd wake up everyone in the house every time I signed in at night. Kudos to you for soldiering through with your terrible Internet connection. Hope someone throws a bone your way sometime soon.
I don't retract any of the negative things I said about this pic. I'm no pro and I'm not going to pretend to be. Thanks for sugar-coating your review though.
I'm not too familiar with "vore" artwork but "Tails Burger" and "Cosmo Salad" are were pictures in that category (I think) and were both hilariously cute pictures that were too good to ignore. The look on the victims' faces always does it for me.
I was originally going to have Tails and Cosmo on plates on a table with Cream getting ready to eat Cosmo on one end and Amy preparing for Tails on the other...I gave up on that after a while. I did, however, keep the "Salad" idea and Amy's posture from "Tails Burger." If my picture was a bit sharper and Cream's thighs not so freakishly huge, I think this would make a great pic. Can't wait to see what your version looks like...Can't believe you actually took the challenge! I didn't think anybody was ever going to act on it. Thanks for making things interesting for me. And don't worry about the coloring. As I said in a reply to you, I don't have the energy in me to go through another coloring process for a pic so when I do part two to your "Sonic and Blaze" pic, it'll be without inks or colors. Your lack of colors actually makes me feel better about mine as I don't feel like I'm ripping you off now. Thanks again.
And don't worry about when you do or don't draw the pic. Christmas is big and I probably won't be drawing on Christmas day myself. Take your time and have fun with it. It'll turn out better that way. Good luck with your rendition and I'll start ironing out the details for my pic to you soon.

Yes, Dial-up still makes those incredibly loud and obnoxious noises. Dial-up is the sword in my thigh (Or thorn in my side, however you like to word it) I do not think I'll be getting High speed until I move out from my home. With these tough economic times, I'm glad I still have internet at all. I'm so use to dial-up when ever I use a high speed computer at school I usually go "Wow! that was quick!" I sure would love to have a bone thrown my way.
For writing my reviews on art, I always try to do my best to find the positives of a picture. I know myself, I do not like getting negative reviews, or inconsiderate words said towards it. However I do not mind critiques, for they actually help me out. Which I could use all the help I can get.
I did a search on Cosmo Vore, though I did not get a lot of pictures, I'll try some more later. This category is new for me though, I just recently discovered it.
In regards to the remake I am creating, I have already started a prototype. I took about ten minutes to draw it, and it looks pretty okay to me. I have Cream in the same pose you had her in, but instead of having her hold Cosmo on a tray, I put a table in the background. On the table Cosmo is tied up, lying down, with a stuffed apple in her mouth and a shocked expression on her face. Then I have Cream say the ever so proper lines "Dinner is served." The way I drew Cream, she is in the same pose, though I am thinking of making her face more maniacal. I'm going to have to do a little experimentation with faces.
For the coloring of the picture, I do not have any colors in my house. I have to crayons, colored pencils, markers, or anything. Also I like making my art black and white. Not sure why, I suppose because I only need one pencil to do it. I'm looking forward to the second part of the Sonic and Blaze picture of mine.

Dang. Sorry to hear about your internet woes. At least you can still get on as you said. Better a slow, noisey connection than no connection at all. Here's hoping something good comes your way soon.
I too like to say mostly good things about pictures, movies, stories, etc. Having taken a public speaking class, I was taught to (and support) saying one good thing for every bad thing I have to say and trying to minimize how bad the bad things sound. But you've already said so many good things about my stuff that you could equate this picture to a pile of dung beetle excrement and the good would still outweigh the bad. Feel free to hate whatever you want from me. Are you trying to be a writer or artist (or both)? Depending on which one you're striving for, I can tailor whatever comments, etc I give you to help you in that direction.
"Vore" is still a vague field for me as well. There's only four pictures in the genre that I've seen more than once. I'll give you the direct links now.
"Cosmo Salad" by Green-Knight ([link] )
"Tails Burger" by Canime ([link] )
"Amy Roasts Tails" by Canime ([link] )
"Amy Cooks Tails" by, you guessed it, Canime ([link] )
Granted, only one of these pictures actually has Cosmo being eaten but the rest helped inspire me to make this pic. This is the only "Sonic" related vore I've looked at though, so I can't help you much further than this. Another negative note is that the artist comments are short and don't get into the heart of the pics. Canime, however, I think still operates here so leaving them a comment might actually get a response...I don't think I've tried myself though.
For your picture, I'm surprised to hear you already have a prototype...and that you have a prototype. I typically draw something once and say "Well, it looks like crap but it's good enough..." so hearing that you actually prepare for your drawings is amazing! At first, I was disappointed to hear that Cream wouldn't be holding Cosmo up (most pictures I draw/view have one character holding/carrying/etc another character) but when I heard how you had Cosmo tied up with an apple in her mouth and Cream being insane, I instantly changed my mind. It sounds awesome and, not to be redundant, I can't wait to see it! For this picture, I tried several times to get an apple or a crouton in Cosmo's mouth (since she's a salad, crouton seemed fitting) but it never looked right to me, hence the cloth gag. Hearing you cram an apple into her mouth makes me think this is going to be a great picture!
Black and white has its benefits. You can sometimes create more drama from the raw, subtle appearance of a lead drawing that hasn't been altered to any degree, ensuring you get the core expression of the picture and not a revised statement of its emotion. Whats more, colors can sometimes appear flat or otherwise unnatural thusly hurting the picture more than helping it. Black and white is fine with me. I've alread seen what you can do with black and white and I like it.
Unfortunately, I don't have a prototype or anything of the sort for your picture yet. I have an idea but, not having 24 hour access to my computer and the references it can give me, I don't want to start production yet for fear it will turn out poorly. Right now, I'm thinking of doing a two panel comic. In the first panel, Blaze is either pinning Sonic to a wall or pouncing him to the floor. He'll probably have scratches and a black eye while Blaze will have insane, pupil-less eyes, a fireball in one hand, and probably a second head coming out of her mouth like the aliens from "Aliens." Sonic's megaphone/ax will be seen imbedded in a wall elsewhere, the implication being that Sonic tried to fend her off with it but she easily threw it to the side. The second panel will have Sonic in casts while officers (or robots if I'm feeling lucky) from Animal Control haul Blaze away in a carry-on cage you see cats and dogs put into.

I looked through all of the pictures you have shown me and I have to say, they were quite good to look at, it has sparked a few ideas in my mind for my second draft of the picture. I am experimenting with different poses, but I do believe I have come up with a good idea. The main reason I did not draw Cream holding Cosmo is because I could not really get the proportions right. When I tried, Cream's arm just did not look right to me. With what I do believe the final may look like will be involving a table, I might have Cosmo cooked already, and I just had an idea to maybe have Tails serve it to Cream for a date, or maybe because he will be in fear of being next, I am not sure, I will be doing some experimentation a bit now, I'm getting excited about this.
Do I want to be a Writer or an Artist? Well, if you asked me a couple years of ago, I would have said exactly what I wanted to be, which was a computer animator for videogames, or an animator for T.V shows. Now that I am getting older, developing more skills, I also might want to be a Writer, because I have been told I have potential. A good example would be today in my history class, we had to write a Christmas carol using a historical person. I wrote mine in about five minutes, and it was about Toyotomi Hideyoshi, mand was to the tune of "Oh Christmas Tree" My history teacher said it was incredibly good. I enjoy writing, but I enjoying drawing too. Lately I have been doing things along comics, because that is pretty much both. If I had an absolute choice to pick right now, I would say I would want to be an Artist. However, I still want to work on my writing skills as much as I can, so I can write about my pictures to better explain them.
Your ideas for the second part to my picture sound awesome! I would love to see Blaze, with a second head coming out of her mouth. It sounds really cool and I can not wait to see it. Also the part with with Sonic in casts while Blaze goes to animal control sounds hilarious! Looking forward to see Blaze in a cat cage.

I literally laughed out loud when I heard you have Tails serving Cosmo to Cream! I'm not as big a fan of Tails and Cream as I am of Tails and Cosmo but the heated debate of Taismo vs Taiream gives the scenario an ingenious comedic touch whether you like Cosmo (like me) or not. All your reasons for Tails' actions sound great too. It could simply be that Tails likes Cream and not Cosmo, in which case the cruel twist of fate for Cosmo and the grim combination of cannibalism and a romantic/cute date dinner are comedic gold. If Tails is afraid that Cream will turn her fury on him if he doesn't obey her, it could tie into your Cream and Tails bully comic. Either option works and would be side-splitting to see! You've officially taken my excitement for this picture off the charts!
I'm glad you like my idea for part two of Blaze and Sonic. It actually reminded me of Cobra Commander from "G.I. Joe" and for a moment, I considered adding him to the pic but then I realized he'd be WAY too hard for me to draw so probably not. I have a few ideas other ideas though. Maybe we get a close-up of Blaze in her cage as she vow revenge. Or maybe as Blaze is hauled away, someone says, "Once she's put down, this'll all be a distant memory." Meanwhile, Silver opens up a pantry inside the house only to find a face-hugger, ready to lay Blaze eggs in his stomach! Let me know if any of this becomes too much. I can limit it to the first two panels...and probably will. I've never drawn Silver or face-huggers in my life.
I don't remember who Toyotomi Hideyoshi is...I wanna say he was the Emperor of Japan during WWII but I'm probably wrong. Still, the fact that you made a "Christmas Tree" version about him that your teacher liked, in a mere five minutes no less, sounds very impressive. If you ever upload it, I'd give it a read. I'd have to figure out who Toyotomi is first but I'd read it. I too prefer comic books as a medium. I can't draw but I love the blending of words and pictures. You get the class and psychology of a good writer and the action and drama of a good artist and you've got yourself a good read. I also have a profound love of the medium as its the birthplace of Spider-Man, Batman, the "Watchmen" characters, and almost all of my other favorite fictional characters. If you're striving for artwork and writing, I shall evaluate both of them when I see them. You definitely have potential in both fields. You could be the next Todd McFarlane, a big time writer who draws his own books...hopefully you don't become as jaded as him though.

About the reply I just sent you, for some odd reason, the idea I spoke of previously seemed to evacuate my mind. I just totally forgotten about having Tails serve Cosmo to Cream. I apologize for forgetting, and I think I might be making two drawings now. No, I have a better idea now. If I would take the idea of Tails serving Cream, I can actually put that into the bullying Comic! What I just thought of would be to draw all of that comic out, and at the end, Cream will defeat Cosmo, who attempts to defend Tails, and then forces Tails to serve Cosmo's cooked carcass to Cream! Sorry if that was a little sloppy of writing, I was just incredibly inspired. This would really add some effect toward the bully comic. In terms of whether I am a TailsxCream or TailsxCosmo, I would say TailsxCosmo because for one, I never imaged Tails and Cream getting together because of the way Cream was raised, plus, later in "A Comic 1" I show that I am a SonicxCream fan. For She and Sonic get married. Which obviously goes what Cream said on page ten, calling Sonic a petafile. I have not got the whole series up yet. I have thirty pages to go on the first Comic then I have about until 9/5/10 to put up A Comic 2. The reason I have a deadline is because the third one will be started by then.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was one of Oda Nobunaga's generals during the age of great trading throughout the world. He completed hated all the Daiymo who were rouge and he sought to kill every one of them. He manages to unite Japan this way, and then proceeds to attempt to conquer China and Korea. However he dies before he can do so, and all of his troops pulled out at the notice of his death. I hope that explains enough, but history is my weakest subject and for some reason not everything sinks in. I just usually remember enough to keep an 'A' in the class.
Comic books are a great medium. I do not know too much about psychology though, I have not taken that class. I plan to take it next year, because it does seem to be a great class. My favorite comics I like to read though are probably the ones My friends and I make. I really enjoy making comics and also I do like how they are the birthplace of Batman and Spider-Man, my two favorite heroes. I do not know who Todd McFarlane is, what kind of books did he write?

So very sorry it took me so long to get back to you. The 24th, 25th, and, unexpectedly, the 26th were very busy. I had NO time whatsoever to get back to you. Hopefully you haven’t been bored waiting for me.
Daaang, Toyotomi was a sociopath. I remember Japan gave Asia the Nazi treatment during WWII. Was that when Toyotomi lived? I'm asking again because I think Yoshimitu’s profile in "Soul Calibur" mentioned Oda Nobunaga and that game was set during Europe's Middle Ages/Japan's Feudal Era, nowhere near WWII.
History was always my favorite subject seeing as how it's pretty much a story. But that's amazing that you can keep an 'A' average in a class that's more or less your weak spot. I remember I struggled A LOT with math as a kid and 'B' was more or less my gold medal there (always tried for 'A' but I'm a writer, not a mathematician). Speaking of classes, I guess I should explain what I mean by "psychology." I've been using the term rather loosely as of late. Normally when I say "psychology," I am referring to writers showing the inner workings of a character. Stuff like thought bubbles (though comics typically use captions instead of thought bubbles these days), etc. Though I do also refer to the actual study of behavior from time to time, such as a character's actions being dictated by their upbringing, the stuff affecting them at the time, the usual stuff. I took a psychology and a philosophy class. They were both good but to be honest...I can't remember a thing from them.
Todd MacFarlane is a comic book writer who used to work for Marvel before starting his own company, Image Comics. Although he left Marvel, apparently upset with its "Mickey Mouse" demeanor, he started and wrote a pretty good run on the series "Spider-Man" (the first book Spidey named simply "Spider-Man") and made perhaps his coolest villain: Venom (as seen in the third movie). At Image, a company still around today but largely playing third banana to Marvel and DC Comics, he created the character Spawn who I believe is still going strong today.
Now, to the Tails and Cream comic. It’s like you brought my subconscious to life! I would think things like what you just said but never know how to make them look good. Cosmo failing to defend Tails and then being served as food BY Tails TO Cream!? GENIUS! It’s cruel, brutal, it’s comedic (for Cream at least), it works on SO many levels! If you haven’t started work on this comic yet (and still want to), the only other request I have is that, before she’s cooked, that Cosmo too be punched in the stomach…Considering Cream is unnaturally cruel and was probably going to beat her up before putting her on a plate, I’m sure a gut-punch would be one of the tamer things she was going to do anyway. I can’t remember which conversation we were having in which you asked for a description of Demon Cream so I’ll send it to you in a note. Hopefully that’ll make it easier for you to find it and reference it.

It is alright it took you a while to respond, I myself was busy as well. I do not remember one hundred percent, but I do believe it said In Yoshimitu's profile that Oda was alive during that time.
I have a friend who is incredibly good at history, he just remembers the stuff well, as well as other totally random things. He sometimes likes to call himself the RFG. (random fact generator) In terms of math, that is where I shine, I am a good math student, and most of it comes easy to me. Though this year, I am sort of being babied as I have the new Geometry teacher, and her work is way too easy.
Todd McFarlane created Venom? Venom is my most favorite super villain in the Spider-Man universe! I find it funny how he always teases Spider-Man at the best opportunities to finish him off, giving Spidey the right amount of time to pull a hasty retreat, or get a punch in.
I also have some good news, I have the Cosmo Salad picture up and ready for viewing! Make sure to check it out. I still do not know how to place a link in here. Do I just copy the URL?
For the Tails and Cream comic. I have have Cream gut-punch both of them until they cough blood! (Though it sounds kind of hard to draw) Though punching someone in the stomach is a great disabler. I will have to remember to put those in there. Since winter break is here and all, I tend to be more forgetful without school keeping me alert. Not too sure when I'll start it, I want to draw a picture of Klonoa because I just recently got the Klonoa "Wiimake" and am enjoying playing the game greatly. Looking forward to details on Demon Cream.

Hey. Sent the note last night. I'm sure you got it but if by some chance you didn't, just give me a holler and I'll send it as a comment.
Take all the time you want drawing whatever you want. It's your free time, spend it doing/drawing what you wanna do. Lord knows I spend most of my time sleeping and playing video games when I should be drawing myself. Never played a "Klonoa" game though...in fact, I didn't know he existed until I saw Silvervest's work. What exactly is his story and what company makes him? I think Silvervest drew him wearing a Pac Man hat so I'm guessing he comes from Namco. Not a bad company to hail from considering they also make "Tekken" and "Soul Calibur." It'll be weird to see him without Tails nearby (I've only seen him in pics with Tails) but that's the way he was meant to be seen...I'm actually surprised that there are SO MANY pics of Tails and Klonoa together. I wonder how that happened.
Venom is certainly a great villain...depending on which one you're talking about. Quite a few people have donned the symbiote in Marvel, most of them were weaker than Spider-Man however. The guy currently wearing the suit, former Spidey villain the Scorpion, is equally strong but seems to be slightly less talented with the alien suit as the original Eddy Brock but he looks A LOT scarier and eats people almost CONSTANTLY! Former Green Goblin, Norman Osborn, pretty much uses him as his living garbage disposal for prisoners or other people in his custody who know too much or are otherwise unnecessary to him. It's awesome! He doesn't seem to have learned from Brock's mistakes, however, as he still does his fair share of gloating only to get bested by Spidey at the last minute. It seems Spidey has more villains who underestimate him than any other super hero. How do so many people keep making that error? One mistake is okay. Spidey is one of the weaker super heroes out there so it's easy to think you've got the upperhand when, really, he sees something hanging over your head to web yank onto you. But when they KEEP ON DOING it, something tells me they should look for work outside the super villain industry. In fact, I think the Shocker is the only villain he has who DOESN'T make that mistake!
I looked at "Cosmo Salad" last night and faved it but I haven't commented yet. I'll get to that as soon as I'm done writing this...

Klonoa games are a lot of fun. What the games are is basically 2D platforming controls in a 3D world. What they call it is 2.5D gaming. Klonoa is not as popular here as he is in Japan, and some a couple of his games never made it to America. He is a Namco character but I have heard (and don't quote me on this) that he was created by Sega but sold to Namco. Which brings me to why he is portrayed in pictures with Tails. At a first glace, Klonoa sort of looks like a Sonic character, with the gloves, lack of neck,and oversize shoes it can believed to be so. The first time I ever saw anything Klonoa was when I was in a Meijer store and I saw a game for the Wii called "Klonoa" I did not think anything of it and moved on. Then about a year later, which is this year, I found a comic series online made by a girl deviant name Fizz~Reply. This comic stars Klonoa and Coco Bandicoot (from the Crash Bandicoot series)I highly recommend you read it. So far it is about seventy seven pages long. Also her English isn't too good, but only because her nationality is Italian and she is still learning.([link] ) That should be a link to the comic I was talking about.
Back to Klonoa, his first game came out in 1997 for the playstation and was called Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, and I could never find it under the price of sixty dollars on e-bay, so I never bought it. The second game, which was released in 2001, was Klonoa 2 Lunatia's Veil, and I bought that for around $15 on e-bay. I believe the first game must be rare now or something considering the outrageous price range, however the game for the Wii I spoke was was a remake of the first game so I bought that for Christmas. All the games are brilliant, and if you are interested, the only one you can really buy in a store is the Wii remake. I would say buy it, or maybe just look it up online. It is a really great game if you are a platforming fan.
I didn't know the Scorpion is wearing the symbiote. Is this in the comic series? The only ones I have been able to see is the original Spider-Man T.V show, all of the current Spider-Man movies. Then the new T.V Show "The Spectacular Spider-Man. I have only seen the black suit on Peter Parker and Eddie Brock. So the Venom I was refering to was when Eddie had the symbiote. I was unaware of the fact that others have had the suit. It sounds pretty interesting.
I have to mention I sort of lean away from the topic at hand about why Klonoa is in Sonic pictures, but the Comic I mentioned is really good. Aside from what I said about it already, Klonoa also seems to just "fit in" with the Sonic characters. It seems like he should be one, but then you look at his Pac-Man hat and you are reminded that he is Namco. Come to think of it, it would be pretty cool to see Klonoa in a Tekken game.

That makes enough sense for why Klonoa is seen around "Sonic" characters so often. Heck, I've seen weirder cross-overs than those two (I, for one, wanted to attempt a "Sonic" and "MK" crossover). When I was asking what his story was, though, I was more wondering what exactly is the plot to his games. Although I love to play video games, I always get into their stories more than their gameplay so when I think about taking up a new series, or just learning about it, I tend to focus more on whether or not I like the storylines.
$60 for the first "Klonoa?" That's pretty messed up. What's more messed up than that, however, is that it isn't the only old game that runs for that much. "Rez," a full-fleged Sega game, ran for $60 back in the days of the PS2, when games were only $50. It was pretty amazing in terms of graphics and the gameplay was very fast-paced. However, it was also VERY WEIRD and hard to understand in terms of plot. I think the most valuable game I've heard of was "Marvel vs Capcom 2" for PS2. That one went for very well near $100 if I remember correctly. Never thought video games could be considered collectors' items before I heard of those games.
One last thing about Klonoa was that cameo in "Tekken" you mentioned. If he actually made into a game, it would DEFINITLY catch my attention and I'd probably look into his games despite my hatred of the Wii (long story). It wouldn't be the first time "Tekken" had a cameo either. As I'm sure you know, "Tekken 3" cameoed a manga character named Gon.
As for Venom, I was referring to the comics. Brock is actually a devot Christian (something the movie neglected and that the shows never touched on I think) so he was deeply disturbed by the less-than-moral things his symbiote was doing...and the fact that it was slowly taking control of him. Eventually, he sold the alien on the black market, donating all the money he was paid to charity. From there, it was bought by one or two criminals, the last one being a mob boss's son named Angelo Fortunato. Angelo took Spidey on but lost miserably. The symbiote was so disgusted by Angelo's inabilities that as he was web swinging from one building to another, the symbiote left his body, sending him plumetting to his death. I've never actually read this story outside of Wikipedia but it sounds like a good read. These days, the symbiote is worn by the former Scorpion and works as one of Norman Osborn's enforcers, fighting (or eating) whoever needs fighting (or eating). That's another thing the shows and movies skipped, I'm sure. Those teeth Venom has? Not just for show. The symbiote delights in eating people...all the time. The only thing that really kept the Brock Venom from eating people was that the symbiote was weakened by Spidey's bell trick and couldn't take full control of Brock for years. I've only seen one fight scene Venom had in "Spectacular Spider-Man" (the one where he kidnaps Gwen Stacy and ties her to a parade balloon). Does the symbiote come back after that fight or is that the end of it?
Venom's one of my favorite villains personally. Aside from the fact that he looks so awesome, the combination of two living things making one creature is interesting to me. The symbiote itself also has a pretty tragic story when it's not too busy eating people...Eating people is also awesome.

The stories for Klonoa games are pretty good. From what other people have said, it has even made them cry at the end of them. Me, however, I relatively felt unaffected. Though most stories do not make me feel anything (Some people call me a heartless freak) I really enjoyed the stories in them. For the first game, you start out in Klonoa's home town Wind Village. The exposition it shows at the beginning is how Klonoa meets his best friend Huepoe (Which is this blue sphere with eyes and a star on his head)and that they grew up together. Also Huepoe is what makes Klonoa's Wind bullet work for his ring. Huepoe was apparently inside the ring when Klonoa found it. Then the story starts like this. They hear a crash up on a place called bell hill, and go to investigate. Once they get up there, they meet a man called Ghadius. (I believe I spelled his name right) Klonoa finds out he has kidnapped the Songstress Lephise and plans to use her powers to unleash nightmares upon the world. One thing I forgot to mention is that in Klonoa's world, everything is made up of dreams, and these dreams are channeled through the Moon Kingdom and that somehow creates life. The main parts of the plot then take place with Klonoa trying to find Ghadius and get to the moon kingdom. I think that would be the basis of the plot.
They do completely neglect the fact Brock is a Christian. With the world these days, trying to take God out of everything, things like T.V and movies usually do not mention that stuff anymore. After the episode in "The Spectacular Spider-Man" Where he loses that, Peter buries the symbiote in thick concrete. Though later in the episodes (And I have not seen all of them, or even in chronological order) Eddie makes a Venom suit, and just makes random appearances throughout an episode, though he never confronts Spider-Man. Spidey begins to think he is losing it. Then at the end of the episode, Spider-Man goes back to where he buried the symbiote and checks to see the concrete is undisturbed. After he leaves, Brock comes back in with a sledge Hammer, now knowing where it is, and breaks it out.
I do not really have a favorite villain per say, but in terms of it he would be in my top five. I sort of figured the symbiote had to do some kind of eating, though I did not think it was humans. Of course they do not show this stuff on T.V though.

Based on what you told me, Klonoa sounds pretty interesting. He has the whimsy and imaginative landscape of the "Mario" series but with the story-heavy aspects of the "Sonic" series. In theory, this could work either very well or very poorly though I briefly showed interest in the "NiGHTS" series based on what I read about it (never played a game but the plot sounded interesting)so I'm guessing Klonoa turned out well. How many games does he have? The original, the Wii-remake (Wiimake, you said? Clever.), and one sequeul that has yet to be "Wiimade?" That might not be too hard to get into. Unfortunately, everyone who knows me has heard me rant about the Wii so keeping face as I play it would be difficult. So does the entire series revolve around Ghandius and the Songstress or is that just the first game and the second has a different villain or the same villain but with a different plan?
While I had a tendency to complain about TV shows and movies straying from what the comics did, I can sort of understand why Brock's Christianity is never explored. Kids shouldn't be exposed to one religion (even if I happen to practice said religion) unless they're also gonna see a wider spectrum of faiths. It isn't really fair to show kids only one side of a very sensitive issue as they are easily upset and, more importantly, easily corrupted into thinking things they're not familiar with are bad or stupid. Also, the TV shows only have half an hour to work with and clearly explaining such a complex issue of a man's religious upbringing conflicting with an alien's predatory insticts would take more time than is practical to use, especially if you want to avoid simplifying religion (which brings us back to the last sentence). The movies, however, should be exploring this issue. Movies get away with more stuff, have more time to spare in one sitting, and typically don't last as long as a TV series so their effects on kids aren't as long-lived (I think). They're also for older fans who can process the info. I would say for future, non-comic stories with Venom, Brock should be portrayed as at least a highly moral person whose made a key mistake or two in his life, which ultimately leads to him becoming Venom. Maybe he had a strict upbringing or something and has a "black-and-white" perception of right and wrong, hence why Venom would sometimes appear to be doing heroic things but in the wrong way...Did any of the shows explain that Venom does a few heroic things when he's not trying to kill Spidey or did that get left out too? I remember the 90's show explaining that Brock held Peter responsible for ruining his career and the symbiote knew he Peter's heroic identity was (which is what the comics did) but the rest of the show is a blur to me.

The Klonoa games are quite fun, I do not think you would be disappointed. Overall, I believe Klonoa has about five or so games. the first one, I have already told you about was Klonoa: Door to Phantomile. It was originally on playstation but recently re-made for the Wii two years ago. The second game is Klonoa 2 :Lunatia's Veil. This game is in terms of story, way different than the first one. It has an entirely new cast of characters, except for Klonoa. In the second one he is transported to another world, and lands in the Sea of Tears, he is rescued by a Priestess in training named Lolo, and her friend Popka. These two are Klonoa's partners through the game. The Villain in this game is a woman named Leorina, and her minon, Mew. This one also has a good plot to it and was the first Klonoa game I got. This one is for the playstation 2, and the only possible way to buy this now is online. I checked stores like gamestop and gamecrazy and both of them do not have them at all. Like I have said before, Klonoa was not super popular in America as he was in Japan. There are a few other games, but I only know of two more. One for the gameboy advance is Klonoa: Empire of Dreams, I have got this one too. ( I was pretty lucky to get three games within a couple months, with all of these being hard to get) This one starts with Klonoa visiting a king, and being punished for dreaming, and then he must go out and defeat four monsters in the four lands. this one does not have too much a story, it is mainly for game play. I have not beaten this game yet, I am pretty much done with it, though I only play it when I go somewhere. The other ones, I do not remember a lot. But there is at least one more game out there for the game boy, but I believe it was the one that was only released in Japan.
I agree with what you say about that, it makes sense. People are free to choose their religion. I do not know if I said already, but I am a Christian as well. I think it would be pretty cool to go more in depth about these sort of things in movies. It would be quite a show. In the T.V series, they do not really show Venom doing any good things. They do, however, show Sandman do a good deed or two. Brock also does mention getting his career destroyed. The symbiote also still knows that Peter Parker is Spider-Man, they made a whole episode on it too.

Going to rearrange the order of topics for a second. Going to Venom first, I think I remember that episode with Brock in the black symbiote for the first time. It showed a disturbingly long scene of him working out as he monologued how Spider-Man ruined his life before going out. He then proceeded to beat the crap out of Shocker, Rhino, and then Spidey himself, actually unmasking him in front of a great many people (JJ tried to get it on film but his camera was crap). Spidey tricked Venom onto a rocket launch pad and launched the symbiote into space...but not before Venom almost hit him with a truck! Is it me or does the image of super villains (especially ones that can web swing) driving anything look weird?
Back to Klonoa. Dang, 3 out of 5 for a series that has at least one game released only in Japan? You're either very lucky or very, VERY dedicated to finding those games. Glad the effort pays off for you...Something just dawned on me. You think it's possible that the website that lets you rent games through the mail (I can't remember their name but they're the ones with commercials of people breaking their stuff because they hate their games) would have "Klonoa" games? They say they have millions of games, I wonder if that includes rare games...Anyway, back to the stories you explained. I'm not a huge fan of characters going from one cast to another the way "Mario" tends to do and the way "Sonic" used to for the first 3 games...and now seems to have gone back into doing after "2006." But you say that Klonoa was transported to another world? That makes enough sense, I'll have to see or read if he makes it back to his world...But Sea of Tears? That sounds surprisingly awesome and dark for a series featuring an anthropomorphic character that isn't "Sonic Adventure 1, 2" or "Shadow the Hedgehog."

Was this episode you speak of on the original Spider-Man series that was made somewhere in the early 90's? That episode sounds extremely familiar. I might have seen some of those episodes, though I did not see Venom beat up on the Shocker, or Rhino. Other than that, it all sounds familiar. The game renting site your speaking about is called GameFly, at least I believe that is what it is called. I am not sure what games they rent out or anything, I have never used the site.
Something I just learned about Klonoa was there was more than five games out there. [link] This link will take you to the Klonoa Wiki page and has all of the data about him. I also have realized some things I did not know before. A word of warning, there are spoilers, so if you plan on getting the games, or do not want plots to be exposed, do not visit it. For instance, one thing I did not know, is there was one sports game made for Klonoa, it was an interesting version of a volleyball game. I might have to see about trying to get a few more games.

The episode I speak of is indeed from the 90's series. The episode didn't specifically show Venom beating Shocker and Rhino. Spider-Man fought them at the beginning and eventually, Shocker blasted him through a billboard. When Spidey came to, he found the villains beaten and webbed up. The villains were in that episode to get revenge on Webhead having beaten them back when he was wearing the symbiote costume (and almost killed them in the process). A little sidenote, however, this wasn't Spidey's first TV series. He had another cartoon back in the 60's or 70's I think. Since the series predated Venom, the series focused more on what the Spider stories were like in the 60's. Most of the 90's villains were there I think but my dad says that Electro, not Shocker, was on the show. The two don't have anything to do with each other, but when I watched the 90's show, he had no idea who Shocker was and I had no idea who Electro was.
GAMEFLY! That's it! It was on the tip of my tongue but I couldn't figure out the name. Thanks, I can sleep now. As you can tell, I don't have an account with them either. I was just wondering if they had access to those games. As for the Wiki page, I'll probably read it all the way through as it'll be hard for me to find his games and play them. With any luck, however, what I read will make me WANT to play the games. I didn't know much about Batman before re-watching his cartoon and reading Wikipages on him but now that I have, I've bought a comic or two of his despite my being exclusively a Marvel fan.

Yeah, I think I missed those episodes, but I did see the one where Spider-Man gets the symbiote on a rocket. I would have never guessed of a Spider-Man series back in the sixties or seventies. It is pretty cool to know even though he was made way back when, he is still popular. Just like Mickie Mouse, he has been around since the 30's I believe, and is still going strong. AS for characters like Electro and all of that, I first heard of him in the Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro videogame.
I couldn't tell you what Gamefly has access to and what it does not. I do not have an account there either. I have not read a full one, but I have seen some Batman of a Batman comic. It looked pretty cool.

There's a lot of characters out there that've been around for years. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman were all from the 30's as well, making them all 70 years old. The only one to leave, actually, is Batman but only as a storyline, not because he wasn't selling 'cause his series is still around. Most of Marvel's big characters are all from the 60's. Spider-Man, the X-Men (though most of them didn't show up until the 70's and 80's), the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Iron Man, The Mighty Thor, and all their biggest villains (except for guys like Venom, Mr. Sinister, Bullseye, and other villains). It seems all the greatest comic book characters are decades old...Unfortunately, very few of the characters made today seem so great.
You played "Spidey 2" as well? I remember that game and the first. The second was how I came to like The Shocker and the first, well, that's what seriously got me into comics in the first place. Great games both.

My mother has shown me an old Wonder Woman comic from when she was in High School. It was real old, and I didn't really read through it, but just looking at it, they were even pretty good back then, when they first came out. It is amazing all these characters are still pretty popular after all this time. The old ones tend to be better than most of the new stuff out there.
I have the first Spider-Man game also, though I actually got that one after I bought the sequel. They are both real good games. They are what got me into Spider-Man. I never really caught on to comics. Not too sure why, most likely because I never saw any I suppose.

It's amazing to see the comics from yesteryear if you know what comics are like today. Comic book covers used to tell you what the story was about before you even opened the book. Nowadays, the covers rarely, if ever, discloses such info. The way fightscenes carried out is also drastically different. While I'm an avid fan of what comic books are today, and typically groan whenever I hear mention of the Adam West "Batman," I can't help but appreciate the charms the old books had. It's also interesting to see the old books to get a guess of what people thought of comic books back then. With only a few exceptions (like "Batman"), they were largely childish and not taken seriously. Today, however, they've become a mainstream artform. Spider-Man's passage of "with great power..." is quoted almost everywhere you go for crying out loud!
I forgot to mention this in the last comment, but I actually started work on the Blaze and Sonic pic. I'm still not done the first pannel and it's been a few days since I last worked on it but Sonic in the first pannel looks pretty interesting. Having a little trouble drawing him and Blaze, however, given the poses I have them in. I've never drawn Sonic with bruises or anything...and I've never drawn Blaze period so it migh be a while before I think it's ready.

I can understand why people might of thought comics to be a childish thing. Weren't children the majority who read them back then? If so then it is pretty easy to understand the mindset of them. If not, well then what I just said was a waste of finger energy. Spider-Man's quote is around his comics a lot. Though it isn't as iterated as it used to be in the T.V series.
Great to hear that you started the picture! I'm still looking forward to it. Again, take as much time as you need. Things for that Tails and Cream comic I want to do. It might be a while. I can not draw what I want to. So what I decided is I need my skills to grow more before I can attempt this golden idea. I'll also have to go back and forth between the pages comments to re-inspire myself. Though I will make this. I do not know when, but I promise I will.

Rest easy because your finger energy was indeed well-spent. Comic books were almost exclusively for children back then, espeically the super hero stories. Probably explains all of the WWII propaganda they had back in those days. In the 70's and 80's, however, they became a lot more mature. It was a very fortunate turn as the things that were done in the 50's 60's sounded horrifically bad.
Spider-Man's comics and TV shows do a good job of avoiding the quote. It's more every other movie and TV show that won't let the quote rest. There's a beer commercial out right now that says "With great beer, comes great responsibility." Hearing the same thing said over and over gets annoying after a while, even if you're a big fan of the series the quote came from.
Glad to hear that you're not on the edge of your seat for the Blaze pic 'cause I fear it might be a WHILE before it doesn't turn my stomach to look at. I'm also glad to hear you haven't forgotten about the Cream and Tails comic. I'd never rush you so look at what you need to, take all the time you want, or even ask me whatever you need to get your creative juices flowing. I know myself that really committing yourself to something that takes work is hard to do, even if you like doing the thing that requires work.

If you think about it, Videogames are sort of the same way, except I think at first they appealed to all audiences at once. Then they started going a tad toward children, now most games are either T or M. Or at least all the games I see. I sometimes hear little kids talk about playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. I don't think kids around the age of ten, or whatever they were, should be playing games like that. So I guess ratings are not really doing their jobs too well.
"With great beer comes great responsibility"... that sounds interesting. I haven't seen that commercial yet, but I'll let you know if I do. The movies do say the quote a good deal, but I think the reason they do is because the movies are a lot more few and in between than the comics and T.V shows. Though it doesn't bother me too much, I am a pretty big fan of the quote.
I'm sure what you have now isn't as bad as you describe. It is pretty hard to commit yourself to something so just keep up the good work and I'm sure in the end it will be all worth it.

Video games have indeed come a long way...though I guess you could say just about every artform out there has gone through the same evolutionary process as games and comics. At the very least, they all suffered public outcry for being different at first, parents over-reacting to things like rock n' roll, before they were eventually accepted but not really embraced. Most artforms then eventually become mainstream and from there, it depends on the artists involved whether or not it becomes truly noteworthy or just a fad.
Yeah, "Modern Warfare 2" is all I hear about these days. My roommates have that game and probably play it a lot. I played the first one and it wasn't bad...but I can't neccessarily say I'd get this one (my friend let me borrow the first one, hence why I ever had it). The game's content doesn't seem that bad. There's no great amount of blood to present a disturbing, or even encouraging picture of killing people (unlike "MK" which goes out of its way to put gore in places you normally wouldn't find it). The storyline is probably too complex for kids that young to be affected by it; they're probably not even listening to it but if they were, the first one didn't teach you anything bad (like "terrorism's cool") so I don't imagine the second would either. My problem with kids and that game would be the online content. Shooters tend to breed foul mouths and poor manners. Granted, most of it is in good fun, but there's a number of players that are just genuinely unpleasant to be around. The thing about online shooters that gets me personally is that I cannot stand to lose in most things in the least. I've found myself cursing at video games at the top of my lungs (if no one was around) when I was just dealing with the CPU. When playing online and I run into cheap tactics or just VERY good players, it tends to ruin my day and puts me in a foul mood. Don't know if that happens with a lot of kids or not.
I don't mind Spidey's movies using the quote. It makes sense, it's a staple in the series, and, like you said, the movies are so far apart that it doesn't feel overdone. It just annoys me to hear it said over and over by just about EVERYONE else. Excluding any and all "Spider-Man" series, TV shows, commercials, and others frequently make humorous references to the quote these days. It's not that I don't mind the quote, I'm actually proud that a series that I love so much and know so much about has left such an impression on society. What annoys me is that I've heard the joke, essentially a million times before. It doesn't matter how funny or impactful a line is, if you hear everyone and their mother say it all the time, it's eventually gonna get old. It'd be nice if another hero had a famous one-liner just to take the weight off Spidey's shoulders for a little bit.
My main problem with Blaze drawing at this point is her feet. I've never drawn high heels before so drawing them now, especially at the angle I have her at, is difficult. I'm still only on the first pannel but hopefully the second one will be easier...probably not though.

I remember seeing a movie that showed the introduction of Rock and Roll. The title escapes me but when the band first played it, everyone shunned them and resented them. It really showed how people dislike what isn't normal to them. Videogames cam such a long way I heard that they even train people like soldiers for combat by playing military games.
I hear quite a deal of the Modern Warfare game myself. I have never even played Call of Duty one before so I most likely won't even play this one. Though I couldn't now even if I wanted to because I do not have a PS3 or 360 to play it. I can not say much for anything about the game except I know it is a shooting game. Which isn't my favorite, but the newer games I have played at my friends house like Uncharted, INfamous, and Metal Gear Solid 4, I like the style of gameplay they have for them. Holding down the L1 button lets you go into shooter mode, while you still have free roam mode. I really enjoy those style of gameplay.
It is pretty cool to see a quote be so popular, though around where I live, most people don't seem to practice it. Some people just like to sit around and smoke weed all day, because that is all they talk about at school. Those people probably can't even tie their shoes without their mother's help. It makes me fell rather intelligent to know I'm one of the few who don't do drugs, just mainly me and my friends. Just like you said though, if everyone says it, it gets old, then something new comes along.
The high heels on Blaze are not as hard as you may think. The way I see it is you just need to draw a diagonal line then go horizontal instead of just horizontal for the bottom of a normal shoe. Then just a vertical column for the heel part itself. I hope that can help you draw it better, if not, you can always just look at a picture and draw it. The second panel will probably be easier, the more you draw something, the easier it is.

I have "Uncharted." I agree, it's a very fun game. I'll have to get the second some time when there aren't 500 games out there that I want and 2 that I haven't finished with yet. If only games revolved their release schedules around my availability...Speaking of games, I just saw an ad for Klonoa's Wii game on the back of a comic book I have. Apparently, he says "Wahoo" a lot. And I saw a screenshot of the game. So THAT'S what you meant by "2.5 D." I wasn't quite sure what to expect at first.
I don't know many people in my life that use the Spidey quote either. I'm referring more to entertainment mediums like commercials, etc. I do, however, know a lot of people who smoke weed as well. All of my roommates smoke weed and, for whatever reason, I watched them smoke it once even though I don't smoke myself (cool to hear you're straight edge too by the way). In high school, you see a lot losers and jerks but once in college, weed becomes a national pasttime, even for the hard-working ones so it gets better as you go along. I still can't stand the smell or smoke though...
I've been drawing Blaze's shoes as diagnol lines with a vertical column myself. I've been looking at pictures but none of them have been too helpful for the angle I'm going for yet. Thanks for the tip though. Don't know when I'll get back to drawing this pic, probably when school starts up since I'll have more of a schedule then.

Klonoa does say "Wahoo" a lot. When you play his game, every time you use an enemy for a double jump (which is super frequent) he says "Whahoo!" And with the Wii version you get a coupon for a fish taco at a restaurant called "Whahoo" I didn't get to use it, 1. I'm not to found of fish and 2. There is no Whahoo restaurant around where I live.
I can understand your roommates smoking weed. A vast majority of the people in my High School smoke, and I have to say, they all act like their not all there. I know some upperclassmen came up to me once in my geology class, and asked me how was I so smart. I told them that I don't smoke, I pay attention, and I study. I don't think they really understood me, because they just left me after that. None of my friends smoke (All two of them) so we usually hang out by ourselves. There are other people we hang out with, though I'm not one to use the word "Friend" lightly, so they are more of an acquaintances. I can't believe it becomes so normal to them up in college. Oh boy, something I get to look forward to -.- I can't stand the smell of smoke either, I usually end up gagging on it. If I ever dorm in college, I will absolutely refuse to let any of my roommates to smoke in the dorm, I don't care if they do it outside, just not around me.
I've been making a comic recently, but to what might be a shock, I'm making it for a school project. In my Literature class, we had one hundred and forty things to pick from to do a report on a book we read, so I chose to make a comic. The book I am doing it on is "Interstellar Pig" by William Sleator. It was an okay book. One I actually didn't mind reading.

The Klonoa game gave you a coupon named after his catchphrase? A REAL coupon for a REAL restaurant!? That sounds awesome! Unfortunately, I've never even heard of "Wahoo," let alone know where one is. Still, that'd be pretty cool to hang onto.
As annoying as smoke is, trust me, you're better off having your roommates smoke inside. It's illegal so, unless they're stupid (and being college students, I'd doubt they will be), there's no chance they'll take it outside. What my roommates do is all gather in one room and smoke it. I don't know if it's because they know I don't smoke or because they keep the weed in one specific bedroom, but they all gather in the opposite bedroom from mine so it never gets to me. If your roommates are anything like mine, they'll be easy to negotiate with and won't make it impossible to live with them. When they're smoking, they'll just wanna hang out in their room anyway so they'll be out of your way. Of course, I live in an upperclassman apartment. I don't know what freshman dorms are like as I commuted to and fro a community college my first 2 years.
I'm a bit of a recluse myself (I too only have 2 friends...though one just kind of drifted away) so if I can get along with my roommates, just about anyone can. High School's the tough act. Once you're out of there, people become more mature and accessible. It's pretty cool actually.
You get to make a comic for a school assignment!? Dang, your teacher's awesome! Never read "Interstellar Pig" nor have I heard of Mr. Sleator but the ideas you had for the Cream and Tails comic and some of the things I've seen in "A Comic" ensure that this project is gonna be great. Are you making a synopsis, visual report, parody, or what of the story? Whatever the turnout is, let me know the developments!

It is really cool, but I threw the coupon out. I didn't think much of it when I got it.
I forgot about it being illegal, I hear so much talk about it, for some reason it never crosses my mind. Though I do not have to deal with it, so I am glad. Just the whole concept sounds bad.
I finished my comic and got 100% on it! It was just an excerpt of a few pages, which is a big part in the story, where the main character is bribed like crazy to give up the Pig. I thought that would be the best scene to do. I might put it up on here if I get to it. I haven't really felt like submitting anything though. Just a little lazy right now. For whatever reason.

Congrats on the assignment! Awesome to hear a comic book got you an "A!" Who says they're inferior to books!?
I hear you on the lazy thing. Most days I can't even be bothered to wake up, let alone produce art. There have been days that I didn't even turn my computer on!...Those days are actually why I took so long to reply to some of your older messages.

Even if it is salad, doesn't eating an entire person still put a considerable amount of weight on you? Then again, the fact that Cream can hold Cosmo with one hand and think nothing of it suggests that one Cosmo's worth of weight is nothing at all. Besides, she'll probably burn all that "weight" off beating up Tails and doing other insidious things.
Glad you like it...never ate salad myself though. Especially not one with eyes and sentience. Rabbits eat the weirdest things. Thanks for the comment.

Awesome, my first viewer strikes again! I was hoping you'd come by eventually to finish the cycle.
Thanks for commenting and favoriting it...Too bad I've seen art that looks MUCH better than mine in between when I posted this and you commented...Anyway, thanks again and I'm glad to see you like this...somehow.

With some training you'll get better.
Would ask for a request if OK.
Just PM or so...

I just sent you a note entitled "You Asked for a Request?" or something similar to that. I tried my best to trim it down but it's still a bit lengthy. I can paraphrase it later if you want.
Aside from that, thanks for the kind words though unfortunately, I draw out of boredom, not in the hopes of going pro (I'm a writer myself).
...Incidentally, your last post is reminiscent of the vernacular used by Rorschac from "Watchmen." I'm a big fan of the character so don't consider it an insult (if, somehow, you did).

That's a funny story. The idea of a backstory I had for this picture was that Cream invited Cosmo to her house (perhaps under the guise of simply watching TV) and then put her on a plate with the intent of eating her whilst watching a movie (ALS is short for "a light snack"). Really, the only reason she's doing this is because she's bored and knows Cosmo's too meek and weak to fight back .
As for whether or not I'm a fan/hater of Cosmo/Cream: I'm a big fan of Cosmo and I don't particularly care for Cream (she really doesn't do anything but steals Tails' thunder of being the kid of the series). Why then is Cosmo the recipient of pain? For some odd reason, if I'm not trying to make a cool picture (like Chaos tearing through Robotnik's base), my favorite characters, or at least those in the vain of Tails and Cosmo, are the ones I like to see suffering. Futhermore, Cream has long been a character that I portray as strong, cruel, and bullying, especially towards Tails, Cosmo, and occassionally Amy. After looking through Canime's and Green-Knight's pics, her eating a defenseless Cosmo was a natural fit for me. So, as odd as it sounds, I like Cosmo but I love to see her suffer (unless it's something serious like the time she died...that was sad).
Thanks for commenting!

(Cosmo stops in her tracks and turns to face Cream.)
Cosmo: Y-you didn't?
Cream: No.
(Cream's eyes turn to a glowing red as demonic wings sprout from her back, her teeth and tongue elongate, and an aura of darkness shoots forth from her body.)
Cream: I wanted to DEVOUR YOU!

Cream: You...insolent witch!
(Cream burns to ashes. Cosmo turns around and starts to walk away. Before she can get far, however, three new Creams appear from the first Cream's ashes. The three Creams lunge at Cosmo and pin her down.)
Creams (all at once): We are Legion for we are many!

(The Creams back off of Cosmo and merge into one Cream. After Cosmo's fangs and eyes grow in, the two demons hiss and lunge at each other.)
Cream: Your powers are weak! You'll never amount to anything but a damsel!
Cosmo: The only thing more unbearable than your visage is your ego! You're a fool to challenge me!
(The two spew fire from their mouths and engulf each other's faces.)

Don't ask. You'll stay saner that way.
Kudos on actually reading all that by the way.
