Description
Okay, moving on with my other picture series, the Hanson Theme Challenge, we have a song off their album "Middle of Nowhere" called "Yearbook"For those who don't know, I'm drawing pictures based off Hanson songs, Hanson being my all-time and forever favorite band and my biggest inspiration in life. I think music inspires us in everything we do, including art, which is why I took up this challenge.
Anyway, this song is one the Hansons never performed until they recorded "Middle of Nowhere Acoustic" on the tenth anniversary of the release of "Middle of Nowhere" ...ten years, and they never once played this song live, and it was always a favorite of mine. I love the song because the Hanson brothers were homeschooled the entire way growing up, so to have them write a song that has it in a classroom setting is just too cool.
Now they play this song a lot ^^ they played it at the last concert I was at in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on May 6th, again, the anniversary of "Middle of Nowhere" this time the 11th one.
Before I explain the picture, (and the genius idea behind it if I do say so myself) here are the lyrics.
Dear Amy, see you in September,
I hope that you remember me next year.
Hey Jamie, you've been a great friend to me,
I hope that I'll still see you around here.
'Cause I'm looking through the yearbook then I find that empty space.
There's a name without a picture, but I can't forget his face.
Tell me where did he go, I want to know.
Where did Johnny go?
It says "Picture unavailable" right here.
More than sad, it makes me mad to know somebody knows.
There's a lying in your silence. Tell me where did Johnny go?
Poor Katie, she won't even speak his name.
None of us will ever be the same.
It's quiet in the halls, but I hear echoing off the walls.
The rumors of Johnny's mystery.
'Cause I'm looking through the yearbook then I find that empty space.
No he never wrote me nothing, but I can't forget his face.
Tell me where did he go, I want to know.
Where did Johnny go?
It says "Picture unavailable" right here.
More than sad, it makes me mad to know somebody knows.
There's a lying in your silence. Tell me where did Johnny go?
Ohhh, there's a lying in your silence, tell me where did Johnny go?
Ohhh, there's a lying in your silence, tell me where did Johnny go?
Sometimes I think I hear him calling out my name.
Sometimes I wonder if maybe we're to blame.
It's been a year now and a lot of things have changed,
But I keep thinking about Johnny, I keep turning to that page.
Where did he go, I want to know.
Where did he go, I want to know.
Ohhh, there's a lying in your silence, tell me where did Johnny go?
Ohhh, there's a lying in your silence, tell me where did Johnny go?
Ohhh, there's a lying in your silence, tell me where did Johnny go?
Ohhh, there's a lying in your silence, tell me where did Johnny go?
I love the song <3 Okay, the idea behind the song is pretty simple. There's a fellow member that's gone missing without a trace. One day, they all showed up, and he was gone, with no explanation as to where he went or why he even left? Even a year later, his classmates are still tormented by it all, wondering if maybe they were the ones to blame.
This song proved daunting at first for an idea, then it hit me. There's a beloved Sonic character that's gone missing from the series and hasn't been seen since. That's right, Mighty the Armadillo. The fact that his name kinda rhymes with the chosen name for the song, Johnny, was just perfect...not to mention that Amy's name is in the song X3
I love the Hansons ^^
Okay, so I saw it this way. Put all the characters in school, and give them the same situation as the song. One day, their classmate Mighty disappears without a trace, and no one it seems can tell them why. What kills them is they know that somebody has to know something, and they just wish they knew what happened.
So about the picture, Tails, Amy, and Knuckles are walking home, where even a year later they still talk about him from time to time. It's a difficult thing, because they miss him...they didn't even get the chance to say goodbye, and while they didn't know him as well as they would have liked, it hurts that they didn't get the chance to. They feel betrayed in some way.
Obviously, the silhouette is Mighty's. It's the first time I've tried to drawn him in some way so be nice. (It's just a good thing it's just a blackened outline X3) I put Knuckles in a black tank top and black slacks, and Tails in a blue t-shirt and denim shorts. Amy came out the best here I think...if it weren't for her left hand, the one holding the strap of her bag, that is.
The walking motion of them all isn't perfect. I didn't want to put too much detail into the path they're walking, and it has it's errors here and there. One again, Knuckles' right eye is messed up, again, Amy's left hand is messed up, the knuckle-claws on Knux could have been better, and I mess up Tails' socks. I really don't care though. I love the picture ^^
Hey, just two more pictures and this theme challenge is a 1/4 the way done!

Why all of the sudden are you being rude to me again?
There have been moments where Sonic has said he doesn't like Amy too. In the Hydroo Episode where he's kidnapped and Amy saves him he says, "The next time you want to save me, don't!" If he liked her better wouldn't he have been more grateful?
Look, the fact that you like SonAmy and I like KnuxAmy doesn't mean a thing. Neither couple is cannon, nor will they ever be. There's no need to get so angry and yell at people over something like this. That's why it's called having an opinion.

I don't think there's any bad couple.
Look, even if you think they're a bad couple, don't you think you could at least respect me and the others who do like it and not flame us for it? I mean, it's just the polite thing to do. Flaming me and talking about what a bad couple it is won't change anything.
Also know exactly what it's like to have a hard life. Everyone does. The guy I love is over one thousand miles away at school. My autistic brother is in the hospital and won't be here for Christmas. Both of my parents are disabled. I have a very hard life and you don't see me using that as an excuse to flame someone.
If life is hard on you, tell your friends and they'll try to help you through it. Being mean to people won't make things better. I don't want you to be upset, but you make it hard for me to want to help when all you do is attack me over a fictional couple.

I can't get in touch with my guy either so I know how it feels.
I promised I wouldn't bother you back when all this started, and I have. If you would stop flaming my work stuff like this wouldn't happen okay? If you don't bother me, I won't bother you, does that sound fair?

I do it on occasion I figured Knuckles and Tails would look better dressed if they were going to school
Plus I love Knuckles in black
I can understand what you mean by that. I've never had any trouble personally but I like it both ways so...yeah Thanks!
